The Kontakt.io Smart Badge 3 Mini casing has an IP65 rating that means the device is fully protected against dust (dust-tight) and can handle water jets from any direction. This does not imply it can be fully submerged in water, but it does offer strong protection against splashes and moderate water exposure. While this makes the Smart Badge 3 Mini durable in many environments, it’s still important to clean it gently and follow the cleaning and care guidelines to maintain its integrity and operation.
Cleaning and care guidelines
-
Avoid harsh substances. Do not use abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, solvents, or strong cleaning agents, as they may damage the device's exterior or seals. Avoid contact with oils, greases, and strong acids or alkalis, as they can degrade the device's protective coatings.
-
Avoid high-pressure cleaning. Although IP65 devices resist water jets, excessive pressure or prolonged exposure can force water into sensitive areas.
-
Do not submerge in water. Doing so can lead to water ingress and damage.
-
Dust and debris removal. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or brush to gently remove any dust or debris from the device's exterior. Avoid using compressed air, as it may force particles into sensitive areas or damage seals.
-
Damp cloth cleaning. Dampen a soft cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Gently wipe the device's surfaces, being cautious not to let any liquid enter its seals or openings. Avoid using excessive moisture, as it may compromise the device's water-resistant casing.
-
Cleaning agents. A mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution or alcohol-based wipes specifically designed for electronics. Ensure that the cleaning agent is compatible with the device's materials and does not contain harsh chemicals that may damage the device.
