Type of protection IP67/IP69K

All device heads satisfy the protection type tests

– IP 67 to EN 60 529 (including protection from the penetration of water when constantly submersed, tested at 1 m water column/ 30 min.), and

– IP 69K to DIN 40 050, Part 9 (1983)

Type of protection IP69K

In addition to the test for dust-tightness the test for IP 69K (originally conceived as a protection type test for road vehicles) simulates the resistance of devices to highpressure water cleaners by subjecting the test subjects to a hot (approx. 80 °C) water jet at very high pressure (approx. 100 bars) at 5 revolutions per minute without any damage occurring.

Easy to clean

The special shape of the devices, in which corners and edges are largely avoided and smooth surfaces have been created, make cleaning of the device heads simple and effective.

Industrial compliance

The devices, in connection with the long-time well-tried contact and light terminal blocks EF/EL, satisfy the requirements placed on industrial control devices and indicator lights to IEC EN 60 947-5-1 (VDE 0660 Part 200) as well as IEC EN 60 947-5-5 (VDE Part 210) and EN 418 and the in future ISO EN 13 850* in the case of EMERGENCY STOP control devices.

Design

The range was given the “IF award winner 2003”.
