4.12 IP protection
Each part of a Simrad autopilot system has a two digits
IP protection code.
The IP rating is a method to classify the degree of
protection against solid objects, water ingress and impact
afforded by electrical equipment and enclosures. The
system is recognized in most European countries and is
set out in a number of British and European standards.
The first code number describes the protection against
solid objects, and the second number describes the
protection against liquids.
