Protection Grade
Protection grade
The Ultrasonic Portable Solar has been certified by an approved independent laboratoty
as IPX8. In order to get the IPX8 code certificacion, ULTRASONIC PORTABLE SOLAR has
successfully passed a 30 minutes water immersion test at a depth of 10 meters (1bar)
with no water ingress. We have also run more severe tests in house with successfull
results (even though they are not certified).
However, reaching IPx8 30 min-10 m does not yield warranty of being waterproof at 10 m.
The same rationale applies to swimming watches; a watch needs to be tested at 30-50
meters depth to be considered water-resistant at a swimming depth of around 1 meter.
For going deeper than (snorkeling, diving) watches are individually tested up to 200-500
m!
Several factors might affect Ultrasonic watertightness: rubber seals and plastics wear
and tear, drastic temperature changes (hot air then cold water), previous impacts, pressu-
re increase rate (immersion velocity), water density and temperature, under-water speed
and acceleration, ... This is why we do certify that our Ultrasonic is IPX8 30 min-10 m but
we cannot guarantee that it is waterproof at 10 m.
