Ingress Protection Rating – in brief

Whether your meter is wall mounted or panel mounted, the enclosure it is contained within will have an IP (Ingress Protection) rating.

IP (or “Ingress Protection”) ratings are defined in international standard EN 60529 (British BS EN 60529:1992, European IEC 60509:1989). They are used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against intrusion from foreign bodies (tools, dirt etc) and moisture.

Each protection rating (IPsl) can tell you about the solid particle protection – s, and the liquid particle protection, l.

For example if the meter you require states it has an IP54 rating then it is “Dust Tight” – s=5 and protection against splashing water – l=4.

If you are wishing to mount your display outdoors then you will require at least IP65.

Microsyst offer displays for indoor (IP54 or below) and outdoor (IP65) so rest assured we have a display for your environment.

Is it hot outside?

Here in the UK we are not used to soaring temperatures and day after day of bright sunshine. However we have been enjoying some lovely weather.

Once it gets above 25°C suffice it to say it is hot!

However if the phrase “It’s Hot” does not describe accurately enough the temperatures you need to measure then maybe our range of Environmental Meters can help.

BK720

The BK720 for example is a dual function meter with both a temperature sensor and humidity sensor housed in its remote wand. The sensors can be placed right where you want them and measure a temperature of up to 60°C!

Phew, now that is hot! Probably about the same temperature as the steering wheel in my car yesterday.
