FAQs

How many devices can I connect to this power strip?

You can connect up to five devices, provided their combined power consumption does not exceed the maximum limit of 3680 Watts or 16 Amps.

Does this power strip offer surge protection?

This model does not explicitly state surge protection capabilities. It is designed for basic power distribution.

Can I use this power strip with non-European plugs?

No, this power strip is designed for European Type F (Schuko) plugs. You would need a separate plug adapter for devices with different plug types, but ensure the device's power rating is compatible.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Product information does not specify warranty details. Please refer to the retailer or Chacon's official documentation for warranty information.

How do I turn off all connected devices at once?

Use the integrated on/off switch located on the power strip itself. Flipping this switch will cut power to all connected devices simultaneously.

What is the voltage and amperage rating?

The power strip is rated for 250V and 16A, with a maximum power capacity of 3680W.

Troubleshooting

Power strip not providing power to connected devices

Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. Check if the integrated switch is in the 'on' position. Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it is functional. If the issue persists, one of the connected devices may be faulty or drawing too much power.

Devices intermittently lose power

Check for loose connections at both the power strip and the wall outlet. Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the strip's 3680W or 16A limit. Try connecting fewer devices to isolate the problem.

Power strip feels warm during use

Some warmth is normal when multiple devices are drawing significant power. However, if the strip feels excessively hot, immediately disconnect all devices. Verify that the total power consumption does not exceed the rated limits. If the problem persists, discontinue use and consider a replacement.
