*1.The IP69k test according to DIN 40 050 part 9 is intended to simulate high pressure/steam cleaning. During the test 14-16 l/min water at 80°C is sprayed onto the sensor from different angles with 8000-10000 kPa. The sensor may not suffer any damaging effects from high pressure water in appearance and functionality.
