How Tough is Rugged?
1.2M Drop Test
Passed the 1.2M drop test on all sides 26 times
Dust tight and protected against water splashed against the
component from any direction
IP 64 Rating
IP64
A black protective rubber surrounds three sides
of the ICECARE, giving it the protection it needs
in harsh work environments.
Drop Survival
Protection against accidental drops.
IP Grade
Protection against dust and water splash.
Operating Temperature
Protection against extreme temperatures.
Mobile computing devices, namely tablet PCs and industrial PDAs, are becoming increasingly popular for out-field use. Their
versatility makes them useful in public safety and eld service applications. However, popular consumer tablets or handhelds are not
designed to meet outdoor use, especially where the environment is tough. They are not designed to work in the rain, or extreme hot
or cold temperatures, or in areas where dust and dirt could interfere with the device. For these environments, tougher devices are
required – those that meet the “rugged” standard.
So, what denes “rugged”? From the user’s perspective, rugged refers to the device’s ability to operate in the work environment that
it is exposed to. However, different users work in different environments. Hence, rugged means something slightly different from one
user to the other. For example, a tablet PC used in a warehouse will be more likely exposed to dust and drops, but will less likely be
used in extreme temperatures. To meet the needs of all possible users, the industry has agreed upon a general a set of standards to
test for a device’s ruggedness. These standards include tests for: extreme operating and storage temperatures, Ingress Protection (IP
Grade) as well as drop survival.
The ICECARE Mobile Field Assistant is compliant with IP 64 grade protection and has been tested with 1.2M drop tests on all sides
of the device. It also features wide operating and storage temperature ranges. Taken these together, the ICECARE complies with the
“rugged” standard and ensures stable operation under tough environments.
The metal stand is designed to support and
stabilize the device on the work surface.
