What are industrial telephone IP rating?

1. What does IP stand for?

The IP rating standard gives you a clearer picture of how water resistant the industrial telephone is, compared to vague marketing terms such as ‘waterproof’.

The IP Code (or Ingress Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as International Protection Rating) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits or one digit and one letter and an optional letter.

As defined in international standard IEC 60529, IP Code classifies and rates the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (dust, sand, dirt, etc.) and liquids.

2. What is IP rating?

An IP rating has two numbers, both of which give you information about the protection level. A higher number means greater protection against solids and liquids for industrial telephone.

– The first number (0-6) refers to the level of protection against solid objects and moving parts, such as dust, debris, or other solid matter.

– The second number (0-8) references the level of liquid and moisture protection.

Take a look at the chart below to better understand the protection offered with each number.

IP Rating Chart IP ratings are represented by combining the first and second digits of the following columns.
1^st Digit-SOLID Degree of protection against solid objects	2^nd Digit-LIQUID Degree of protection against water
0-No protection	0-No protection
1-Protected against a solid object greater than 50mm, such as a hand.	1-Protected against water drops.
2-Protected against a solid object greater than 1.25mm, such as a finger.	2-Protected against water drops at a 15 degree angle.
3-Protected against a solid object greater than 2.5mm, such as a wire.	3-Protected against water spray at 60 degree angle.
4-Protected against a solid object greater than 1.0mm, such as a thin strap.	4-Protected against water splashing from any angle.
5-Dust Protected. Prevents ingress of dust sufficient to cause harm.	5-Protected against water jets from any angle.
6-Dust tight. No ingress of dust.	6-Protected against powerful water jets and heavy seas.
–	7-Protected against the effects of temporary submersion in water (30 minutes at 3 feet).
–	8-Proteced against the effects of permanent submersion in water (Up to 13 feet).

3. What IP Rating Will You Need?

If you don’t anticipate a harsh environment that is extremely dusty or wet then a lower IP rating would suffice.

In places that will have a lot of dust, debris, or potential to be in contact with any solids or liquids, you’ll want to make sure that the IP ratings are high and that you have adequate water resistant or waterproof coatings on industrial telephones.

4. Examples of IP Ratings and Uses

Low IP ratings are appropriate for:

– Indoor use

– Protected use inside sealed products

– Inside sealed signage

– When using aluminum extrusions

High IP ratings are appropriate for:

– Unsealed outdoor locations

– Places that have a lot of debris

– High splash areas

– High contact areas (people touching them)

– Wet locations
