*1. Our company Test Method
IP67 for proximity sensor:
In addition to the following test, heat shock cycle test (0°C cold water
for 1 hour, 70°C hot water for 1 hour) is conducted repeatedly for 5
times, confirming no CR and detection distance problem
*2. Note for our test outline
Proximity sensor E2F term of use: inside water in 10 m depth, in
natural condition.
1) sink into 2 atm of water for 1 hour, no water ingress
2) repeat the heatshock cycle for 20 times, confirming no CR and
detection distance problem

Specification of IP69K
IP69K is a protection provision of high temperatured and pressured water which prescribed by Germany standard DIN 40050
PART9.
The test specifies a spray nozzle that is fed with 80°C water at 80 to 100 bar and a flow rate of 14 to 16 L/min. The nozzle is held
10 to 15 cm from the tested device at angles of 0°, 40°, 60° and 90° for 30 s each. The test device sits on a turntable that rotates.
Note: Connected part doesn't satisfy the Degree of protection mentioned in the Ratings/Characteristics in case that the wiring is
not normally done, connector does not have the protection performance or e-CON connector is used.
