2.2.1.3. Surface form factor
The Ekinox 2 enclosure is composed of two anodized aluminum
parts (6061), one for the cover and one for the base plate. The
device uses high quality alloys and connectors to offer a full IP-68
enclosure and a good resistance to harsh environments.
The Ekinox IMU connector is a high quality push pull connector
that offers IP-68 protection even unconnected.
Warning: The Ekinox IMU surface model is not designed
for prolonged operation in salt water environments.
Check section Maintenance for more details about
operation in sea water environments.
