12.1 Information on outdoor use of the PowerSystem 12/24 V
MagCode PowerSystems were originally developed for vehicle interiors. How-
ever, in Germany, the BGS, DRK, fire brigade, police and THW now use these
systems in addition to the DIN plug as an outdoor socket for charge mainten-
ance on their emergency vehicles.
With regard to outdoor use, please note:
Port (socket)
When installed with a sealing ring on the front (contacting side to the clip), the
port is tight in accordance with IP5K9K. If the rear of the port comes into con-
tact with water, it must be sealed.
Clip (pick-up/connector)
The clip (IP40) is not waterproof. Keep the clip protected from water.
Clip to port connection
This connection is also not waterproof. At best, it is protected against dripping
water (IP42).
To prolong the life of the product, the following measures should also be
taken:
– After outdoor use, clean the port briefly with a cloth.
– Remove possible deposits of metal chips on the contact side of the port and
clip with an adhesive strip from time to time.
– Spray contact spray on port and clip contacts every 1 to 2 months.
TIP
Device defect due to faulty release under load
The MagCode PowerSystemPro 12/24 V has a mechanical bayonet
lock. It can be disconnected under load without unlocking, which
can damage the system or cause the system to fail completely.
1. Always unlock the system manually.
