What does IP66 Rating mean to you?
An International Protection (IP) Rating classifies the degrees of protection provided against solid objects, dust, debris, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The standard aims to provide consumers with more detailed information than a vague marketing term such as "waterproof."
The first digit in the
MUDSYS31 IP66 rating indicates the level of protection the enclosure provides for the electrical conductors inside and the ability for solid foreign objects to get inside. A rating of 6 is the highest rating and certifies the enclosure to be dust tight with complete protection against outside contact of solid objects.
The second digit, also a 6, indicates the level of protection from liquids. Another 6 rating validates the enclosure to be able to withstand water projected on the enclosure, by a nozzle, from any direction. A 6 rating is just short of being able to withstand being submersed in water up to 3 feet.
(Let's be honest, if you submerse your UTV in water where the roof is 3 feet blow the surface, you've got bigger problems.)
What does all this mean? It means you can rest assured that our IP66 rated products can withstand the abuse you will put it through while riding the dusty trails, getting caught in the rain, and bashing through mud pits. It means you can easily wash your machine without having to worry about removing your system first or getting the system wet.
