Combines two proven technologies making it effective in all conditions FEATURES: Designed by technical team with over 50 years combined experience in electronic rust protection and electronic rust prevention.RustStop® RS-5 uses a dual technology to be effective in all conditions.The Anodes give customers visual proof that the system is working by the obvious anode corrosion that occurs (anodes typically need to be replaced every 4 years); Click here to see images of anode corrosion.Suitable for New and Used vehiclesIt helps protect the entire car, inside and outside, which sprays cannot do;RustStop® RS-5 even helps control formed rust from spreading via electronic rust control;Spray-on coatings often need be re-applied over time, whereas electronic rust protection is permanent.Electronic rust proofing will compliment any other undercoating or spray-on type rust proofing, increasing your protection, as electronic rust protection can only improve your rust defence.Transferrable from vehicle to vehicle;Simple 5-Step Installation, no special tools needed;This is a 12V version;RustStop® RS-5 has four indicator lights i.e. Operate Light, Fault Light, Max Output and Battery Low Light.Draws minimal current from the batteryWill not interfere with other electrical installationsTen (10) Year Product Warranty BRIEF EXPLANTATIONFor rust to form, there needs free-electrons, moisture and oxygen present. If any of these are missing, rust cannot form. The free-electrons are negatively charged, so the strong positive charge on the Anodes cause an attraction of negative free-electrons away from the vehicle and the anodes now corrode rather than the vehicle. This reduces the rusting process on the vehicle. FULL EXPLANATION Any steel contains millions of free-electrons which are negatively charged and move around in the metal due to positive and negative charge differences caused mainly by impurities in the steel. These small charge differences (normally around 1 volt) act almost like a magnet, and so the negative free-electrons are attracted toward and accumulate at the positive points. When these free-electrons are exposed to oxygen and moisture, a reaction occurs and they are lost from the steel. This reaction is known as oxidation or RUST. RustStop® RS-5 outputs a positive charge onto the Anodes, approximately 50 times greater than that between the impurity and iron atoms. The iron and impurity atoms are now effectively all negatively charged in relation to the strong positive charge on the Anodes and so the free-electrons are attracted toward the Anodes. The Anodes now corrode rather than the vehicle. FAQs: Q: What if I want to return an item?A: We offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee. Q: What is electronic rust prevention?A: Electronic rust protection is the use of electricity to prevent or control rust on steel. There are various forms of electronic rust protection, some technologies have been in daily use protecting ocean going vessels, underground pipelines, offshore oil rigs, bridges and other large capital investments for over forty years. Q: How does RustStop® RS-5 work?A: Rust is basically an electrochemical process. Rust needs free-electrons to form. The strong positive charge on the Anodes attract the negative free-electrons away from the vehicle and they now corrode rather than the vehicle. Q: How difficult is it to install a RustStop® RS-5 unit? Can I do it myself?A: Yes. It is quick and simple to install DIY. If you prefer not to install it yourself, you can take it to your local auto electrician. Q: I have heard that cathodic protection will only be effective if the metal is submerged in water and is ineffective in dry conditions?A: That is true for “classical cathodic protection” systems. RustStop® RS-5 uses an advanced dual protection enabling protection in atmospheric (open air) conditions. RustStop® RS-5 uses a high-bonding open-cell tape on the Anodes which allows conductivity and protection even under the lightest of moisture. The anodes are placed where they will get wet whenever the vehicle is wet due to rain, atmospheric moisture and dew, meaning that protection is achieved around each anode during the highest risk periods. Each anode provides protection to the local area surrounding it, and when multiple anodes are fitted, this protection area can be overlapped, providing all over protection. Q: What makes RustStop® RS-5 any different than other electronic systems on the market?A: A highly experienced technical team developed RustStop® RS-5 and are continually taking advantage of cutting edge technology to keep it a leader in this field. RustStop® RS-5 is the only system that successfully combines 2 proven technologies. The Anodes give customers visual proof that the system is working and due to a stepped up output voltage 50 times greater than the charges with steel that cause rust, protection is provided to 100% of the vehicle. Q: Will RustStop® RS-5 stop rust 100%.A: No. RustStop® RS-5 is offer general rust protection and can reduce rusting activities by up to 50% under normal conditions. Unfortunately there are a number of products claiming the miracle cure for rust, but this is simply impossible. RustStop RS-5 is a fairly inexpensive way to prolong the life of your vehicle by inhibiting the rusting process. Q: Will RustStop® RS-5 cause electrical shocks if a person touches the vehicle.A: No. RustStop® RS-5 is as safe as any other electrical device on your vehicle and will not cause any electrical shocks by merely touching the vehicle. Q: Will RustStop® RS-5 interfere with any electronic devices that are already on my vehicle, such as the computer or car alarm?A: No. RustStop® RS-5 works like any other electronic device on your vehicle and will not affect any other electronics or on-board computers. Q: Will RustStop® RS-5 be effective on a vehicle that has existing rust?A: Yes. Independent test results show that RustStop® RS-5 is very effective in controlling formed rust from spreading and increased protection can be obtained by the use of RustStop® Rx200. Q: Is it really necessary to install RustStop® RS-5 onto a brand new vehicle that has an existing factory warranty?A: Definitely. It is best to have protection from day one and even though new vehicles come with a factory warranty, rust usually forms from the inside out and so there could be a large amount of rust present during your warranty period that only become visible when your warranty expires. Also, the exhaust system gets the best protection when it’s new. Q: What if my vehicle already has spray-on rustproofing or undercoating?A: RustStop® RS-5 electronic rust protection compliments any undercoating or spray-on type rustproofing application giving maximum effectiveness. Q: Is it practical to install RustStop® RS-5 if I’m only keeping my vehicle for a couple of years?A: Yes. What if your plans change? Wouldn’t it be nice if your vehicle held up longer when times are tough? Let’s say you do only keep your vehicle for a couple of years, are you one of the few people that aren’t concerned about the resale value? When you show a potential buyer or dealer that you have taken extra measures to protect your vehicle from the inside out, don’t you think that in itself would increase the value? Even if you decide none of the points made above are of concern to you, RustStop® RS-5 electronic rust protection can be easily transferred to your next vehicle. Q: Will RustStop® RS-5 drain my battery?A: No. RustStop® RS-5 draws less current than most vehicle alarm systems and uses latest technology to enable a voltage step-up to 45V without overloading the battery. If your battery voltage drops by other means, e.g. leaving your lights on, then the electronic unit has a smart censor that automatically shuts the unit off, so as not to damage your battery, and switches back on when the voltage returns to normal. Q: Will RustStop® RS-5 be effective on larger vehicles such as full size pick-up trucks?A: Yes. On even larger vehicles you can use 6 anodes. Each 12V RS-5 command module can operate up to 6 anodes, and each 24V RS-5 can operate up to 8 anodes. Q: Can I fit RustStop® RS-5 to a truck with a 24 volt battery?A: Yes. RustStop® RS-5 comes in a standard 12 volt system for cars, a 24 volt for trucks, busses etc., as well as a 6 volt units for vintage cars and motorcycles. Q: Will RustStop actually help protect the value of my vehicle?A: Absolutely, and that means money back in your hands.Technical Specifications Input voltage: 12 Volt DCCurrent drawn: Approx. 10 – 35mAGround: (-) NegativeHousing: Flame Retardent ABSPackage Weight: 510gControl Module Weight: 160gPackage Dimensions: 21 x 15 x 4cmOutput Voltage: (+) 40 – 47 Volts
