The heating cord
One must never leave the heater’s cord hanging on the power plug.
There is danger both to the children and to the machinery when clearing the snow. Everyone who has a car heating place is responsible for taking the cord away from the plug. The cover of the heater has to be always locked, also when the cord is connected. If the cord is left hanging on the plug, it will be removed, and tenant can collect it back from the janitor against a payment of 5 €.
It is forbidden to use an interior heater.
Automatic car heating poles
The electrical outlets in Mikalo’s student housing properties are equipped with a frost guard that operates automatically based on the weather conditions. You can keep the heater’s cord plugged to pole all the time when your car is parked. However, if you don’t use your car for a long time, it is better to unplug it from the pole.
If there is a clock in the car heating pole in the MOAS parking places mention above, you don’t need to use the clock, since the car heating pole works automatically without the clock.
The car heating pole starts to heat when outside temperature drops to +5°C degrees and increases the heating power automatically depending of the weather. When the temperature drops below -18°C degrees, the power keeps on all the time. The system keeps the car motor between +10°C – +20°C degrees.
Heating starts when the temperature falls below + 5 °C, and the heating is on for about 7 min cycles at 40 min intervals. When the temperature drops, the heating period is shortened, and the interval is shortened.
About -7 °C, they are equal (10 min + 10 min). When the temperature is below -18 °C heating is always on. In windy weather, heating pole increases the heating power.
Note:
Kansankatu 2: the electricity continuously on in the pole.
Vuorikatu 13: there is no parking area on the property.
Electric Vehicle Charging
If you want to charge your car at your designated parking space, always contact the property manager first to agree on the procedures and costs. Mikalo does not have dedicated charging stations for electric vehicles in its properties, so any charging must be done using the car heating outlets. However, charging is only allowed for Mikalo residents, not for visitors or external users. If the heating outlet’s fuses cannot handle the charging, you must stop charging immediately.
