Definition Of Ip Protection Classes - IDS uEye series User Manual

User Manual uEye Cameras V3.32
Non-condensing means that the relative air humidity must be below 100%. Otherwise, moisture will
form on the camera surface. If, for example, air has a relative humidity of 40% at 35°C, the relative
humidity will increase to over 100% if the air cools down to 19.5°C; condensation begins to form.
Vibration and shock resistance
Vibration and shock resistance of the uEye cameras were tested as specified in DIN EN 60068-2-6
(1996-05), DIN EN 60068-2-27(1995-03) and DIN EN 60068-2-29(1995-03). The mechanical shock
was at 80 g; the vibration testing was performed with sinusoidal vibration at a frequency between 30
Hz-500 Hz and an amplitude of 10 g.

Definition of IP Protection Classes

The housing of the USB uEye RE models complies with the IP (Ingress Protection) 65/67 standard.
The housings of the other uEye models comply with IP 30. These standards are defined as follows:
First digit
3 Protection against the ingression of small particles (diameter > 2.5 mm)
6 Dust-proof
No ingression of dust at a vacuum of 20 mbar in the housing
Second digit
0 No special protection against liquids
5 Protected from jets of water
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 meters. The testing period
is at least 3 minutes.
7 Protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water
Test conditions:
The housing is dipped completely under water in a dip tank. The submerged depth is 30 cm and the
testing period is 20 seconds.
Water may not intrude in a quantity which causes harmful effects while the housing is dipped in water
under standardized pressure and time conditions.
