MONITOR IP RATINGS  EXPLAINED

Ingress Protection Code (IP) is an internationally accepted standard.  It classifies and rates the degree of protection provided by enclosures. Protections include against intrusion and dust. Also included are accidental contact, and water. For example, this rating provides a standardized metric to compare different products’ performance with each other. The first number refers to protection against solids.  IP second number refers to protection against liquids.  Additionally, there may be an X in the rating. It means testing was not performed for that specific protection.  For a more detailed description on IP Ratings follow the link.  View our IP & NEMA Ratings literature for more information,  or watch our video: Demonstration.

We offer weatherproof touch screens and waterproof stainless steel monitors with a variety of resolutions and aspect ratios for your outdoor signage needs.

Waterproof Monitor and PC Types: Finding the Ideal Waterproof Monitor or PC to Fit Your Application

Increasingly, personal devices are becoming waterproof or water-resistant with submergible waterproof ratings. However, most computers used in business are not in settings where they will encounter water, and thus are not made to be waterproof. It costs more to build a waterproof computer due to the more expensive materials, components, and highly controlled manufacturing processes. This higher cost is quickly recovered in the budget if the right product choice is made. The longevity of the right computer will far outlast a product lacking the capabilities to withstand the environment it is operating in daily.

Did You Know?
IP ratings, short for "Ingress Protection", denote exactly how waterproof a computer is. Below are a few of the most common IP ratings and exactly how much water each can withstand:

• IP65 is protection against low-pressure water jets spraying from any direction
• IP67 is protection against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes
• IP68 is protection against long periods of immersion and high-pressure water jets
• IP69K is protection against close range, high-pressure, and high-temperature water jets typically used in wash-down environments.

So how do you choose the right waterproof computer solution for your application?

There are five main computing solutions to choose from when deciding on what pc to place in an environment with steam, splash, spray, or water immersion. An added factor is to consider what types of steam or liquids a computer might be exposed to. Saltwater on a boat or washdown chemicals to eliminate bacteria may corrode the pc if the right material is not chosen. In these cases, SUS304 stainless steel is usually the material of choice.

Waterproof Monitors

Waterproof monitors are the most resilient touchscreen displays and some are further specialized to be used in rugged outdoor environments with wide temperature ranges. They are the best solution where the information display can be placed away from the computer, and there may be multiple displays with the same information on it. I/O connectors are made of M12 metal to maintain the same durability as the computer bezel and housing.

Waterproof Box PCs

There are some environments where steam, water, seawater, or manufacturing spray simply goes everywhere. If this is the use case, then a waterproof box pc will likely need to be chosen if a waterproof all-in-one is not the best solution. In general, box PCs are a more cost-effective solution than all-in-one PCs when a wide operating temperature range is needed, or vibration is a major factor. With a stainless steel enclosure, a waterproof box pc can withstand the harsh chemical sanitation process in many food processing plants

Waterproof Front Bezels

In instances where a kiosk or cabinet is used to house a touchscreen computer and there are no high-pressure jets or severe weather, a computer with an IP65 or above front-rated bezel may be the best option. The kiosk or cabinet will need to have a waterproof or water-resistant seal for this to work well. Often times this is a less expensive option than going with a stainless steel waterproof computer but can be a risk if the cabinet seal is not tight or all environmental conditions are not accounted for.

Stainless Steel PCs

Teguar stainless steel computers are rated IP66/IP69K. Stainless steel provides protection from oxidation that would otherwise cause traditional computers to corrode over short periods of time. To prevent the ingress of liquids and dust, they are equipped with water-tight gaskets.

There are two options to maintain waterproof connections. Either M12 metal connections are used or a cable gland that seals out water is chosen. The M12 I/O connectors are also rated IP66/IP69K and offer locking waterproof connections. These can be used with peripherals such as a waterproof keyboard, sensors, barcode scanner and scales. The direction, temperature, composition, and force of water spray may be a deciding factor for if a cable gland or M12 connectors are chosen.
