vbSeries® Portable Instrument IP65 Rating
The following instruments have been independently verified as complying with the
relevant provisions of AS/NZS 60529:2004 for an IP65 rating:
• vb5™ Data Collector
• vb6™ Data Collector
• vb7™ Data Collector and Analyzer
• vb8™ Data Collector and Analyzer
• vbBalancer™ Imbalance Correction Instrument
