2 Safety LEAB Automotive GmbH

Notice
Unit defect and faulty ejection due to incorrect connection of
the control modules
Connecting the control modules directly to the unit may result in
faulty ejection of the control modules and unit defect.
1. Do not connect the control modules directly to the unit.
2. Always use an additional relay.
Notice
Reverse polarity can damage the equipment
Errors when connecting the cables can cause equipment damage.
1. Before operating, make sure that all cables are connected
correctly.
2.1 Intended use
The PowAirBox is a system for supplying electricity and compressed air to
emergency vehicles. With protection class II and protection class IP55, the
PowAirBox is protected against dust and water jets and is therefore suitable
for outdoor use.
2.2 Foreseeable misuse
The supply units and couplings of different voltages (12 V, 24 V, 230 V, 400 V)
each have their own coding and cannot be interchanged. However, with the
same voltage, both types A and B of the PowAirBox are compatible and can be
plugged together to supply a vehicle with power. There is no compressed air
supply, but also no compressed air loss.

3 About this product
With the PowAirBox, power is fed in via a special plug-in device. The PowAir-
Box type A combines the supply of electricity and compressed air in a single
line. When the vehicle engine is started, the coupling is automatically discon-
nected from the vehicle and the protective cover closes automatically. The
status display provides reliable information about the current charge status of
the connected battery and the charging process. Two auxiliary contacts in-
stalled in the PowAirBox serve to establish a start locking mechanism.
The supply unit and coupling are supplied with prefabricated connecting
cables. The connection in the vehicle is made via lockable plug-in connectors.
3.1 The PowAirBox System
1 Ceiling bracket 2 Supply unit
When installing the PowAirBox system in the vehicle depot, LEAB recom-
mends direct connection to the electricity and compressed air distribution
with the LEAB PowAirBox ceiling bracket (1). The combination cable (electri-
city and compressed air) leads from the ceiling bracket to the supply unit in-
stalled in the vehicle (2). LEAB also recommends the use of LEAB ABC, LEAB
CPC or LEAB Champ Pro built-in chargers.
For vehicle depots without a complete PowAirBox system, LEAB also offers
supply adapters with different plug connections (e.g. CEE).
