Full details

This Kenable 007862 is a 4-gang surge-protected extension strip designed for home and office use, offering essential protection for your connected equipment. Its primary benefit is safeguarding electronics from voltage spikes, ensuring their longevity. A key consideration is that while it offers surge protection, it does not provide battery backup for power outages.

FAQs

What does the neon indicator light signify?

The neon indicator light shows that the surge protection circuitry is active and functioning correctly. If the light is off, the surge protection has likely been used up and the unit needs replacing.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof and should be kept away from moisture and damp environments.

What is the maximum power I can connect?

The extension lead is rated at 13 Amps. You should ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed this limit.

Is this suitable for high-power appliances like heaters?

While it is rated for 13 Amps, it is best suited for standard electronic equipment like TVs, computers, and chargers. Very high-power appliances may draw close to or exceed the limit and might be better plugged directly into a wall socket if possible.

Can I plug surge protectors into this extension lead?

It is generally not recommended to plug one surge protector into another. This can sometimes interfere with their effectiveness or overload the initial surge protector.

How long is the cable?

The cable length is 5 meters.

Does this product offer battery backup?

No, this product provides surge protection only. It does not offer battery backup (UPS functionality) for power outages.

Troubleshooting

No power to connected devices

Check that the mains plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Ensure the wall socket is functioning correctly by testing it with another device. Verify that the total load does not exceed the 13 Amp rating.

Neon surge indicator light is off

If the neon indicator light is off, the surge protection may no longer be active. Unplug the extension lead and replace it with a new one. The surge protection has likely been depleted due to a surge event.

Extension lead feels warm

A slight warmth might be normal under heavy load, but if it feels excessively hot, unplug it immediately. Ensure the total power draw does not exceed the 13 Amp rating. If the issue persists, discontinue use.
