Oyster Rugged Nylon Glass Housing
The Oyster nylon glass IP67 housing is black. It's weatherproof, with ultra-rugged protection IP68 and IK07-rated housing, and built to endure the harsh Australian conditions.
The Keep Track Oyster GPS Tracker is rated IP68, which means it is dust-tight and capable of withstanding immersion in water beyond 1 meter, making it highly suitable for outdoor use.
Here's why:
Dust Protection (6)
The Oyster is completely protected against dust, which is essential for environments like farms, mines, containers and construction sites.
Water Resistance (8)
With the ability to be submerged in water, the Oyster can handle rain, puddles, or accidental splashes without compromising its functionality.
Why IP68 is Ideal for Outdoor Use:
It safeguards the device in extreme environments, including dust storms, heavy rainfall, and exposure to mud or dirt.
Ensures the tracker remains operational in varied weather conditions, from dry, dusty days to wet and stormy nights.
Suitable for industries such as farming, transportation, fleet management, and asset tracking where devices are exposed to the elements.
When selecting an outdoor GPS tracker, an IP68 rating like the Keep Track Oyster 3 is a benchmark for reliability and durability in challenging conditions.
The IP68 standard refers to the level of protection a device or product offers against dust and water ingress. It is part of the IP (Ingress Protection) rating system, where the first digit indicates protection against solid particles (like dust), and the second digit indicates protection against water.
Breakdown of IP68:
First digit: 6
6 = Dust-tight. This means the device is completely protected against dust ingress, even in vacuum conditions.
Second digit: 8
8 = Water-resistant to a high degree. The device can withstand immersion in water beyond 1 meter of depth. The specific depth and duration depend on the manufacturer’s specifications, but it's often up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes or more.
What IP68 Means in Practice:
Dust-proof: Perfect for environments like construction sites, deserts, or other dusty conditions.
Waterproof: Can handle being submerged in water, such as swimming pools, rivers, or heavy rain. However, it’s not intended for long-term underwater use like deep-sea diving.
Important Notes:
IP68 does not cover resistance to other elements like chemicals or oil.
Manufacturers may specify different submersion depths and durations, so checking their guidelines is essential.
The rating doesn’t guarantee protection against high-pressure water jets or extreme conditions.
Devices with an IP68 rating are standard in GPS trackers and other rugged equipment designed for harsh environments.
The Keep Track Oyster is perfect for boats as they have a Weatherproof and ultra-rugged IP68, IK07 housing. Suppose you are looking for a hard-wired GPS Tracker for your boat or tender. Look at the G70, which is also IP68 and IK08 Rated. If you are after a Hybrid GPS Tracker, look at the G150 with cellular and iridium fullback when taking your boat beyond cellular coverage.
