How to troubleshoot IP67 vs IP68 sensor failures

Troubleshoot IP67 vs IP68 sensor failures by checking water exposure, connector sealing, cable exit, washdown pressure, housing damage and installation photos.

Short answer: Water failures often come from connector sealing or cable exit damage, not only the IP rating. Check the real wet condition before replacing IP67 with IP68.

Direct Answer for Buyers

If a sensor fails in a wet area, inspect the connector, cable exit, housing damage and washdown direction before assuming the IP rating is wrong.

  • A damaged connector can make an IP68 sensor fail like a lower-rated sensor.
  • High pressure cleaning can be harsher than simple immersion.
  • Send wet-area photos before ordering a sealed replacement.
