  • V110G7 fully rugged laptop: Hot-swappable dual battery design for uninterrupted field operations

  • S410G5 & S510 Rugged Laptops: Built-in resilience with wide operating temperature ranges

  • UX10G5 Fully Rugged Tablet: Designed specifically to survive challenging temperatures and moist environments during field operations

  • ZX10G2 & ZX80 Android Tablets: Lightweight yet fully rugged, suitable for mobile utility work

All devices maintain dependable performance in humidity levels up to 95% RH, enhancing your teams’ ability to work in demanding weather environments.

How do Getac devices withstand dust and water in utilities? 

Every Getac fully rugged device meets stringent IP (Ingress Protection) ratings, providing comprehensive protection against dust and water ingress. 

All I/O ports are protected by mechanical doors to guard against environmental contamination.

IP ratings across the Getac range:

  • IP67 certified: ZX80 Android Tablet (highest protection level—complete dust protection and water immersion up to 1 meter)

  • IP66 certified: F110G7, F120, K120G3, ZX10G2, X600 Server, X600 Pro, UX10G5 (complete dust protection and high-pressure water jet resistance)

  • IP65 certified: V110G7 (complete dust protection and water spray resistance)

  • IP53 certified: S410G5, S510 (limited dust ingress protection and spray water resistance)

These ratings help your devices continue operating in dusty utility environments and during wet conditions. The sealed design prevents particulate contamination and water damage, protecting both the device and your critical operational data.

Which Getac devices are best suited for utility work in rain and wet conditions? 

All Getac rugged devices feature IP-rated protection and specialized display technology designed for wet weather operations. Our devices don't just survive rain, they maintain dependable performance.

Key features for wet conditions:

  • Rain Mode Technology: Automatically adjusts touch sensitivity to reject water droplets while maintaining responsiveness

  • Sunlight-Readable Displays: 1000-1200 nits brightness supports screen visibility even in direct sunlight or rain

  • Glove and Rain Touch: Capacitive screens work with wet gloves or rain-covered surfaces

  • IP-Rated Protection: All ports sealed against water ingress

Top performers in wet conditions:

  • F110G7 & F120: IP66 rated with 1200 nits displays and rain touch capability

  • ZX80: IP67 rated for robust water protection

  • UX10G5: IP66 rated with rain mode functionality

  • V110G7: IP65 rated with rain and glove touch capability

  • ZX10G2: IP66 rated, lightweight at 906g for extended field use

Field technicians can work confidently in rain, knowing their devices will continue operating reliably and protect essential data.

Which Getac devices meet the IP ratings required for wastewater treatment environments? 

All Getac fully rugged devices meet or exceed the IP ratings necessary for wastewater treatment operations, where protection against water, chemicals, and contaminants is critical.

Recommended devices for wastewater environments:

  • ZX80 Android Tablet: IP67 certified—offers complete dust protection and water immersion resistance up to 1 meter

  • F110G7, F120, K120G3, ZX10G2: IP66 certified—complete dust sealing and protection against powerful water jets from any direction

  • X600 Series, UX10G5:IP66 certified—sealed against dust and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for demanding treatment plant conditions.

  • V110G7: IP65 certified—dust-tight with water spray protection

All sealed ports and mechanical doors prevent contamination from entering critical components.

The high IP ratings help devices withstand regular washdowns, splashes, and exposure to treatment facility environments without compromising performance or data security.

For wastewater treatment facilities requiring maximum protection, we recommend IP66 or IP67 rated devices like the ZX80, F120, or UX10G5.

Which Getac devices are drop- and vibration-tested for utility field service?

Every Getac fully rugged device is MIL-STD-810H certified, meeting rigorous military standards for drop resistance and vibration tolerance. This certification helps your devices survive the daily shocks and vibrations common in utility field operations.

Drop resistance by device:

  • 6ft (1.8m) drop resistance: F110G7, F120, K120G3, ZX10G2, ZX80, UX10G5

  • 4ft (1.2m) drop resistance: V110G7, X600, X600 Pro

  • 3ft (0.9m) drop resistance: S410G5, S510, X600 Server RAID, X600 Pro-PCI

Vibration protection:
All devices are MIL-STD-810H certified for vibration resistance, tested to withstand:

  • Vehicle-mounted operations

  • Heavy machinery environments

  • Constant movement during field work

  • Transportation between job sites

The combination of drop resistance and vibration tolerance means your devices maintain operational integrity whether mounted in utility vehicles, carried across rough terrain, or used in proximity to heavy equipment. 

This translates directly to reduced device downtime, lower replacement costs, and uninterrupted field operations—exactly what utility fleet managers need for long-term operational efficiency.
