Sealed version: IP68, in accordance
with IEC 60529, BS 5490, DIN 40050
& NFC 20 010. This rating applies to
front panel components of the actual
switch only, and signifies protection
against dust and the prolonged
effects of immersion under pressure.
The standard test for immersion
under pressure requires submersion
under one meter of water for 30 min.
The V-Series switch has exceeded
these parameters, having
