Technical glossaryProtection ratingThe protection rating (according to IEC 529 / DIN 40 050) defines the degreeof protection from ingress of dust and moisture.IP 20Protection against ingress of solid particles with a diameter greater than12 mm. No special protection against ingress of water.IP 40Protection against ingress of solid particles with a diameter greater than1 mm. No special protection against ingress of water.IP 50Complete protection against contact with live parts or internal moving parts.Protection against harmful dust deposits. The ingress of dust is not completelyprevented but dust must not penetrate in such quantity as to impair theoperation. No special protection against ingress of water.IP 61Complete protection against contact with live parts; protection againstingress of dust.IP 64Complete protection against contact with live parts; protection againstingress of dust and splashing water.IP 65Complete protection against contact with live parts; protection againstingress of dust and water jets.IP 66Complete protection against contact with live parts or internal moving parts.Protection against ingress of dust and powerful water jets. Water must notpenetrate the equipment in harmful quantities in case of temporary powerfulwater jets.IP 67Complete protection against contact with live parts, protection againstingress of dust, protection against the effects of immersion under definedconditions:1 m depth of water for 30 minutes.IP 68 (ifm specific definition)Complete protection against contact with live parts, protection againstingress of dust, protection against the effects of immersion under definedconditions:1 m depth of water for 7 days.IP 69 KComplete protection against contact with live parts, protection againstingress of dust, protection against ingress of water during high-pressuresteam cleaning.GeneralinformationList of articlesMobilecontrollersI/O modulesDialoguemodulesDiagnosisand serviceSensorsfor mobileapplicationsSignalconvertersConnectiontechnologyAccessoriesTechnicalinformationand customerservicePTB / INERISNational bodies testing electrical equipment and approving it for hazardousareas.PTB = Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig und Berlin.INERIS = Institut National de L'Environnement Industriel et de Risques(France).Visit our website: www.ifm.com199
