Understanding IP65–IP69K Protection Ratings
Choosing the right ingress protection (IP) rating is essential for industrial displays operating in wet, dusty or washdown environments. CDS offers solutions for a wide range of conditions, from protection against water jets and immersion to high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning applications.
IP65
Water Jets
Dust-tight and protected against water jets.
IP66
Powerful Water Jets
Dust-tight and protected against stronger water jets.
IP67
Temporary Immersion
Dust-tight and protected during temporary immersion under specified conditions.
IP68
Continuous Immersion
Dust-tight and suitable for immersion under agreed depth and duration conditions.
IP69K
High-Pressure Washdown
Dust-tight and protected against specified high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
Important: IP68 and IP69K provide protection against different types of water exposure. IP68 covers immersion under specified conditions, while IP69K addresses high-pressure, high-temperature washdown cleaning. A product with one rating does not automatically meet the requirements of the other. Protection ratings may also apply to specific surfaces rather than the complete display enclosure.

Waterproof Industrial Displays – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69K displays?
IP ratings indicate the level of protection an enclosure provides against dust and water ingress.
IP65 and IP66 offer protection against water jets, while IP67 provides protection against temporary immersion. IP68 covers immersion under manufacturer-specified conditions, and IP69K is designed to withstand defined high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
The appropriate rating depends on the operating environment, cleaning procedures and installation requirements. CDS can help identify a suitable waterproof industrial display or Panel PC for your application.
Are waterproof industrial displays suitable for food processing environments?
Yes. Waterproof industrial displays and stainless steel Panel PCs are commonly used in food and beverage processing facilities, where equipment may be exposed to moisture, frequent cleaning and demanding hygiene requirements.
CDS offers IP-rated touchscreen solutions with options such as stainless steel enclosures, sealed connectors and suitable touchscreen technologies. For intensive washdown applications, IP69K-rated solutions may be appropriate, depending on the cleaning conditions and installation requirements.
Can industrial waterproof displays be supplied with stainless steel enclosures?
Yes. CDS offers waterproof industrial monitors, touchscreens and Panel PCs with stainless steel enclosure options for applications requiring durability, corrosion resistance and hygienic construction.
Depending on the product and application, alternative materials and finishes may also be available. Our team can help identify a suitable enclosure design based on the operating environment, mounting requirements and required ingress protection.
Can CDS customise waterproof industrial displays and Panel PCs?
Yes. CDS specialises in providing bespoke industrial display solutions tailored to individual project requirements.
Customisation options can include screen sizes, enclosure materials, mechanical dimensions, mounting arrangements, custom cover glass, optical bonding, touchscreen technologies, waterproof connectors and integrated computing hardware.
The available options depend on the selected product and required protection rating.
Can waterproof touchscreens be operated while wearing gloves or in wet conditions?
Yes, industrial touchscreen solutions can be configured for operation with certain types of gloves or in wet environments, depending on the touchscreen technology and controller configuration.
CDS offers projected capacitive (PCAP) and resistive touchscreen options, with configurations suited to different operating conditions.
Factors such as glove material, water exposure and required touch sensitivity should be considered when selecting the appropriate technology.
What mounting options are available for waterproof industrial monitors?
CDS offers a range of industrial display formats, including panel mount, chassis mount, open frame and fully enclosed monitors and Panel PCs.
Panel-mounted displays are suitable for integration into equipment and control cabinets, while fully enclosed solutions can provide protection for exposed installations. Chassis mount and open frame designs offer additional flexibility for OEM equipment and bespoke enclosures.
It’s important to note that the final IP protection level depends on the product design, sealing arrangement and installation method.
