WHAT LEVEL OF INGRESS PROTECTION IS REQUIRED?

UNIDESK can be specified with optional IP 54 protection, courtesy of gaskets for the front and base panels. The IP rating – International Protection Mark or Ingress Protection Mark (IEC 529) – is a standard controlled by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

IP 54 signifies that an enclosure provides users with complete protection from voltage-carrying or internal moving parts. However, it does not offer complete protection against dust ingress. That would require an IP 6X rating. But dust is prevented from entering in quantities harmful enough to impair the functioning of the device. IP 54 also confirms that the enclosure is splash-proof (based on a five-minute test in which 10 litres/minute of water is splashed against all sides of the enclosure at a pressure of 80-100 kPa ).
