LED Display Ingress Protection Rating

IP65 Definition

Outdoor LED display must be stable enough to work well 7/24 and withstand extremely stormy or sandy-storm weather. For the manufacturers, it is required that outdoor led displays should meet the criterion at least IP65, so what is definition of IP65?

"The IP Code (or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. As defined in international standard IEC 60529, it classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof..."

International Protection Rating Of Dakco Outdoor LED Display

It's the technical introduction by reading which you will command all the conception in details. But here as a company dedicated in LED display screens, we'd like to be short to avoid any unnecessary mistake.

1. Front: IP67

The first digit indicates the protection against dust. And "6" means Dust Tight, which means no ingress of dust and complete protection against contact.

The second digit indicates the protection against liquids. And "7" means ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion).

2. Back: IP55

The 2 digits indicate the same parameter with above. But the letters are different.

And the first "5" means Dust Protected: Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact.

The second "5" means: Water projected by a nozzle against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.

According to the 《The General Criterion For LED Display》 formulated by the LED Standard Working Group of CESI (China Electronic Science Institution): Indoor LED display should be IP20+, Outdoor LED display should be IP33+

So with IP67 for the front side, and IP55 for the rear side, we ensure the led display working well in all the outdoor environment and weather conditions.

Clarify On the IP65

Sometimes clients are misled by non-professional suppliers who aim only selling out the led screens. As the reliable partner, we think it's necessary to make clear each confusing point, and be honest with true result.

For the front side, it's no difficult to reach "IP65". But for the rear side, as long as there's air inlet and outlet, the protection against dust can't reach "6" - totally prevent the dust.

In another word, as long as the heat dissipation design based on fans, the air inlet and outlet is necessary. As a result, the ingress protection can't reach "6".
