With the three grill covered apertures on the back and the USB ports, I am surprised that it can meet an IP65 rating. If the USB sockets and the SD card reader depend on covers to maintain the rating - how robust are they and how easy is it to swap them if they are damaged ?
Reading some of the comments about working in a Div 2 environment. Most Div 2's you don't need breathing or filtered apparatus or even gloves. I've been working in a Div 2 for 25 years. I work with solvent based inks that have a flash at 70 F. No electronics are allowed unless certified explosion proof. Just the enclosure for my work PC cost $27k.

so they say its class 1 div 2 group a,b,c,dbut what type of protection? explosionproof/flameproof/type n? intrinsically safe? non-incendive?
