Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices
Check that the 16A male plug is securely inserted into the power source. Verify the power source is active. Ensure the total power draw does not exceed the 16A limit. Inspect the cable and sockets for any visible damage.
One or more sockets not working
Check if the issue is with a specific socket or all sockets. If only one is faulty, it might indicate an internal wiring issue with that socket. Ensure other connected devices are not overloading the circuit. Try plugging a known working device into the suspect socket.
Cable is stiff in cold weather
The cable is rated for temperatures down to -5°C, but extreme cold can affect flexibility. Allow the cable to warm up slightly before attempting to wind or unwind it to prevent damage.
Poor connection at the hook-up point
Ensure the 16A male plug is clean and free from debris. Check that the socket on the power source is also clean and undamaged. A firm, secure connection is essential.
