13.1 Information on outdoor use of the PowerSystem 12/24 V

MagCode PowerSystems were originally developed for vehicle interiors. However,
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 maintenance 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 contact 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 wa-
ter (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.
