Are Defenzo Wallbox chargers weather-resistant and is charging an electric car safe even in the rain?

Defenzo Wallbox AC22 charges my car with a power of less than 22 kW - what to do?
There are several possible reasons for charging an electric vehicle with limited power. First, check whether the vehicle can be charged with a power higher than 11 kW. Second, check the rotary switch setting inside the device - to charge with a maximum power of 22 kW, the switch should be set to "E" (which corresponds to 32A). Other reasons could be a high state of charge of the battery, too high or too low battery temperature, or other reasons.

How do I register the Master RFID card in my device?
To register Master cards, disconnect the power supply, open the front cover of the device, set DIP switch 1 to ON, and restart the device. The first RFID card swiped in the reader within 60 seconds of restart will act as the Master card. You can use it to add more user cards.
