  • Ever wonder how durable a handheld is? Now you will know, check out the IP Ratings!

     

    Did someone ever tell you that one handheld is more durable than another?

    Could they tell you why?

    Well I can give you all information you will need on it.

    Here is a list of the models we support for CMMS data group's wireless MVP capture software :

    • The Symbol MC50 is not rated
    • The Symbol MC70 is IP54
    • The Symbol PPT8800 is IP54
    • The Unitech PA600 is IP64
    • The Unitech PA500 is IP42

    The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against access to hazardous parts (e.g., electrical conductors, moving parts) and the ingress of solid foreign objects.

    No special protection.

    Protection against solid objects over 50mm. (e.g. hands)

    Protection against solid objects over 12mm. (e.g. fingers)

    Protection against solid objects over 2.5mm. (e.g. tools and wires)

    Protection against solid objects over 1.0mm . (e.g. small wires)

    Protection against dust - limited ingress. (No harmful deposit)

    Protection against dust - dust tight. (Total protection)

    The second digit indicates the protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against harmful ingress of water.  

    No special protection

    Protection from dripping water.

    Protection from vertically dripping water.

    Protection from sprayed water.

    Protection from splashed water.

    Protection from water projected from a nozzle

    Protection against heavy seas, or powerful jets of water.

    Protection against immersion.

    Protection against complete, continuous submersion in water

    The PA600 by Unitech wins the race as being the most durable handheld, which model do you need?
