Frequently Asked Questions

What does the IP69K rating signify for products?

IP69K is the highest Ingress Protection rating, designed for products regularly exposed to high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns. It ensures protection against close-range, powerful water jets and dust.

What applications are suitable for Federal Signal IP69K products?

Federal Signal IP69K products are ideal for applications in Food and Beverage, Wastewater, Pharmaceutical, Marine, Medical Facilities, and Medical Equipment Manufacturing.

How are IP69K products tested for dust ingress?

IP69K products are dust-tight tested in an Arizona A2 Dust chamber for 6 seconds at a time, every 15 minutes, for five hours.

What are the water spray parameters for IP69K testing?

Water is sprayed at 1160–1450 psi from four angles, 4–6 inches from the device, at 176°F (80°C), every 30 seconds.

What are the benefits of using IP69K rated products?

IP69K products help reduce product failures due to water/dust ingress, increasing productivity and decreasing production downtime in harsh environments.

How do IP69K products differ from NEMA Type 4 products?

IP69K products withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets from a short distance (4-6 inches), while NEMA Type 4 products handle high volume, low pressure water from a longer distance (10-12 ft). Both are dust-tight.

What certifications do Federal Signal IP69K products hold?

In addition to IP69K, Federal Signal products meet or exceed standards from UL, CSA, CSFM, IECEx, and other global certifications, and the company is ISO 9001 Certified.
