The housing of the USB uEye RE models complies with the standard IP 65/67 (IP = Ingress Protection). The housings of the other uEye models comply with IP 30. These standards are defined as follows:
IP 30
•Protection against the ingression of small particles (diameter > 2.5 mm)
•No protection against water
IP 65
•Protection againt penetration of dust: No ingression of dust at a vacuum of 20 mbar in the housing
•Protection against water (out of a nozzle) from all directions
Test conditions: Using a jet nozzle with an inside diameter of 6.3 mm, a jet of water at a volume flow of 12.5 liters per minute is applied to the housing from all directions at a distance of 2.5-3 m. The testing period is at least 3 min.
IP 67
•Protection againt penetration of dust: No ingression of dust at a vacuum of 20 mbar in the housing
•Protection against ingress of water in case of temporary immersion
Test conditions: The housing is dipped completely under water in a dip tank. The submerged depth is 1 m and the testing period is 30 min. Water may not intrude in a quantity which causes harmful effects while the housing is dipped in water under standardized pressure and time conditions.
