1.6 Environmental Ratings
The EPOCH 1000 Series are extremely rugged and durable instruments that can be
used in harsh environments. To classify the instrument’s durability in wet or damp
environments, Olympus has adopted the IP (ingress protection) system to rate how
well the instrument is sealed.
The EPOCH 1000 Series has been tested to the requirements of IP66. All instruments
are designed and manufactured to meet this level of ingress protection when they
leave the factory. To maintain this level of protection, you are responsible for the
proper care of all routinely exposed membrane seals. Additionally, you are
responsible for returning the instrument to an authorized Olympus service center
each year to ensure that the instrument seals are properly maintained. Olympus
cannot guarantee any level of ingress protection performance once the instrument
seals have been manipulated. You must use sound judgment and take proper
precautions before exposing the instrument to harsh environments.
The EPOCH 1000 adheres to the environmental standards listed in Table 24 on
page 312.
