Notes on water resistant and dust proof features

The main unit and remote control have a water resistant specification of IPX5*1 as specified in “Degree of protection against water immersion” of the IEC60529 “Ingress Protection Rating (IP Code)”, and a dust proof specification of IP6X*2 as specified in “Degree of protection against solid foreign objects.”

*1 IPX5 equivalency: The main unit, with the micro-USB port cover closed, has been tested and maintains its operability under the following test conditions: When exposed to direct streams of water from any direction where approximately 12.5 L/min. of water is supplied for more than 3 minutes from a distance of approximately 3 m (9 ft. 10 5/8 in.) using a nozzle with an inner diameter of 6.3 mm (1/4 in.).

*2 IP6X equivalency: The main unit, with the micro-USB port cover closed, has been tested to and continues to block dust after stirring for 8 hours in a testing device which contains dust particles that are up to 75 μm in diameter.

Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications apply to

Applicable: fresh water, tap water, perspiration

Not applicable: liquids other than the above (soapy water, water with detergent or bath agents, shampoo, hot spring water, pool water, sea water, etc.)

The water resistant and dust proof performance of NYSNO-10 is based on our measurements under the conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions as a result of water immersion or dust intrusion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.

To avoid deterioration of water resistant and dust proof performance

Check the following and use NYSNO-10 correctly.

  • Do not use or leave NYSNO-10 in a location with where the temperature is very high (approx. 41 ºC (105.8 ºF) or above) and low (approx. -11 ºC (12.2 ºF) or below). Using or leaving it in a location where the temperature is out of the range above, may stop the operation automatically to protect internal circuit.
  • NYSNO-10 passed the drop test from 1.2 m (3 ft. 11 1/4 in.) on plywood of 5 cm (2 in.) thickness conforming to MIL-STD 810 F Method 516.5-Shock. However, this does not guarantee no damage, no breakdown, or water resistant and dust proof performance in all conditions. Deformation or damage from dropping NYSNO-10 or subjecting it to mechanical shock may cause deterioration of the water resistant and dust proof performance.
  • Do not use NYSNO-10 in a location where water or hot water may splash on it heavily. NYSNO-10 does not have a design that is resistant to water pressure. Use it in a location where high water pressure is applied, such as under running water or in the shower, may cause a malfunction.
  • Do not pour high temperature water or blow hot air from a hair dryer or any other appliance on NYSNO-10 directly. Also, never use it in high temperature locations such as in saunas or near a stove.
  • To prevent foreign objects from attaching to the port area, make sure that the micro-USB port cover of the main unit is closed completely when not used.

How to care

  • If you leave the main unit wet, it may develop scales, molds, etc. We recommend that you wipe off water droplets after use and dry it in a well-ventilated place until moisture disappears.
  • Especially in cold regions, be sure to wipe off the moisture after use. Leaving moisture on its surface may cause the main unit to freeze and malfunction.
  • If sand grains, etc. enter the adhesive mount attaching part, remove them carefully.
