Appendix A - Internal Protection
Daedal has conducted testing to determine the
degree
to which the positioner is protected by
using a British standard called an
Ingress Protection Rating (IP Rating)
. The MX80L has an
IP 10 protection rating.
Definition
Reference: British standard EN 60529 : 1992
This standard describes a system of classifying degrees of protection provided by enclosures of
electrical equipment. Standardized test methods and the establishment of a two digit numeric
rating verify the extent of protection provided against access to hazardous parts, against ingress
of solid foreign objects, and against the ingress of water.
First Number – The first number indicates protection of persons against access to dangerous
parts and protection of internal equipment against the ingress of solid foreign objects.
1
- Protection against access to hazardous parts with the back of a hand, and protected
against solid foreign objects of 50 mm diameter and larger.
Second Number – The second number indicates protection of internal equipment against harmful
ingress of water.
0
- No special protection provided.
Note: Number Indicators above represent only a partial list of IP Rating specifications.
Warning
Particles as small as 0.005” diameter could lodge between the table and internal components
causing the motor to stall.
