What is NEMA4X

NEMA stands for the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. They provide a forum for the standardization of electrical equipment, enabling consumers to select from a range of safe, effective, and compatible electrical products.

These Environmental ratings for enclosures are graded depending upon their effectiveness.

NEMA4X means that the UNOTRON SpillSeal® Keyboard is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and is protected against windblown dust, rain, splashing water, hose-directed water, and damage from external ice formation.

What is IP66

A two-digit number established by the International Electrotechnical Commission, it is used to provide an IP (Ingress Protection) Rating to a piece of electronic equipment or to an enclosure for electronic equipment. The IP code indicates the level, or amount of protection.

The two digits represent two different forms of environmental influence:

The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects.
The second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids.

IP66 means that the UNOTRON SpillSeal® is protected against the ingress of dust and high pressure water jets from any direction.

What does NEMA4X and IP66 Mean

These certifications mean that UNOTRON SpillSeal® Keyboards can be washed with soap, anti-bacterial's, surgical spirit and many other cleaning agents without any detrimental affect to the internal components or the keyboard itself, making it a safe and healthy environment to work in.
