¾ Splash & Dust
The Ingress Protection (IP) rating is often used to indicate the protection afforded by
enclosures of an electronic device, and an IP number specifies the protection level. The first
number (0~6) refers to the protection against solid objects and the second (0~8) against
liquids. The higher the number is, the better the protection afforded.
For industrial environments, it can be very damp and dusty. Thus, the terminal is sealed
against moisture and dust to industry standard IP64.
 6 =
Totally protected against dust
 4 =
Protection against water sprayed from all directions. That is, limited ingress
is permitted.
