DEFINING IP RATINGS
An Ingress Protection (IP) rating is based on a standard measurement chart developed by the IEC. It is comprised of two digits, with each digit representing a different level of protection.
The first digit signifies the level of particle protection and is rated from levels 0 to 6. The second digit signifies the level of moisture protection, rated from levels 0 to 8.
When comparing Philadelphia two-way radio IP ratings, a higher number corresponds to a better protection rating for that particular model. Whether your environment is heavier on dust or liquid ingress will determine which IP rating is most suitable for your equipment.
