IPX5-Rating Subsystem Test

Water resistance or not? 

In this page, we test if our USV is IPX5-Rated, meaning if it is water resistant. This is essential since our USV is supposed to be deployed in water, more specifically the Russian River.

IPX5 Rating Check

  • Objective: Check to see if the enclosure of our USV has IPX5 protection (water-resistant)

 

  • Setup: Remove all components from USV and replace them with paper. Then close enclosure and hose it down from all sides for 3 minutes.

The enclosure is able to keep the paper dry showcasing it is water-resistant and therefore IPX5 rated.
