Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IP69K rating?

IP69K is the highest standard on the Ingress Protection (IP) rating scale. It is designed for products regularly exposed to high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns.

What applications are suitable for IP69K products?

IP69K products are ideal for applications in food and beverage, wastewater, pharmaceutical, marine, medical facilities, and medical equipment manufacturing.

What certifications do Federal Signal products have?

Federal Signal products meet or exceed UL, CSA, CSFM, IECEx, and other global certifications. The company is also ISO 9001 Certified, demonstrating commitment to quality.

What are the benefits of using IP69K products?

IP69K products help reduce product failures due to water/dust ingress. This increases productivity and decreases production downtime.

How does IP69K differ from NEMA Type 4?

IP69K protects from close-range, powerful, high-temperature water jets and ensures no dust ingress. NEMA Type 4 involves high volume, low pressure water from a longer distance.

What testing do Federal Signal IP69K products undergo?

Products are dust-tight tested in an Arizona A2 Dust chamber. They also undergo high-pressure steam jet cleaning with water sprays of 1160–1450 psi at 176°F (80°C) from 4–6 inches.

How to Install the SSTX3-MV Electronic Siren

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing and configuring the SSTX3-MV electronic siren in hazardous locations.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:
