Product Information
Full details
The PRO ELEC PELB1867 Extension Tower is designed for users needing to power multiple devices from a single point, offering a space-saving and organized solution for homes, offices, or workshops. Its key benefit is the high number of outlets (ten) arranged vertically, accommodating even bulky plugs thanks to angled sockets. A potential caveat is its fixed 2-meter lead length, which may limit placement in very large spaces. This unit provides efficient power distribution with safety compliance and a visual power indicator.

Troubleshooting
No power to any sockets
Check that the main plug is securely inserted into the wall socket. Verify that the neon power indicator is lit. If not, check the fuse in the plug or try a different wall socket.
One or more sockets not working
Ensure the device plugged into the affected socket is functional. Check if other sockets on the tower are working. If only a few sockets are affected, there might be an internal issue; consider replacing the unit if under warranty.
