How to check IP code

 Here are the steps to check the IP code of a device or equipment:

First you should check the product documentation. Look at the user manual or the datasheet that comes with the device or equipment. You can also check the product specification sheet from the manufacturer. The IP code is usually found in the technical specifications section.

You .

can also check the device markings. A lot of products have the IP rating printed on the device itself or on a label. You might find the IP code on the back, bottom or side of the device or equipment.

If you cannot find the IP code you can visit the manufacturers website. They usually have all the information about their products, including the IP rating.

If you still cannot find the IP code you can get in touch with the manufacturers customer service. They should be able to give you the information you need about the IP code of the device or equipment.

You can also check for third party certification. Look for any certification marks or labels, on the device or equipment. These can give you an idea of the IP rating of the device or equipment. The IP code is a thing to know about a device or equipment so it is worth taking the time to find it.

Decoding the IP Code:

The IP code is made up of the letters "IP". Then two numbers and sometimes there is an extra letter. To figure out what the code means here is a simple explanation:

First Number, which is about protection from things:

0 means there is no protection at all

1 means it is protected from things that are bigger than 50 mm like hands

2 means it is protected from things that are bigger than 12.5 mm like fingers

3 means it is protected from things that are bigger than 2.5 mm like tools and thick wires

4 means it is protected from things that are bigger than 1 mm like most wires and screws

5 means it is protected from dust but not completely

6 means it is completely protected from dust

Second Digit, which is about protection from liquids:

0 means there is no protection at all

1 means it can handle water that is dripping down

2 means it can handle water that is sprayed at an angle of up to 15 degrees

3 means it can handle water that is sprayed at an angle of up to 60 degrees

4 means it can handle water that is splashing from any direction

5 means it can handle water jets at low pressure

6 means it can handle water jets at high pressure

7 means it can be submerged in water for up to 1 meter

8 means it can be submerged in water for a long time

9K means it can handle high pressure and high temperature water jets

For example 

IP67 means the device is completely protected from dust and can be submerged in water for up to 1 meter for a certain amount of time.
