Maintaining the
NEO
IP and Drop-Test Ratings
NEO
has been designed and tested to meet IP54 and a 4´ drop rating to polished concrete (a
total of 26 drops to include all corners, edges and faces). In some environments, it may be
beneficial to use the Protective Rubber Boot (PX3062) to extend the product’s durability.
Developers should ensure that any add-on peripherals are designed to achieve the required
IP rating necessary for the intended usage environment, and to match the drop-test rating of
the
NEO
alone.

Mechanical Description of the
NEO
Case and Anchor Points
The lower case of the
NEO
is made of injection-moulded Lexan EXL 9134 polycarbonate
plastic, colour 7B5003 grey (as defined by Sabic/GE). The plastic texture is VDI 27.
Devices can be anchored to four threaded inserts (insert size M2 x 4), or snapped into place
using the mounting slots located forward (2) and rear (1) on the unit. Exact locations and di-
mensions of the mounting points, and their positions in relation to the expansion port
connector pads, can be found in the CAD file
neo_housing_and_bracket_asm.igs
.
Note: The Expansion Connector Cover on the rear of the product is not required to achieve
the IP54 rating.
