Product Information

Full details

This Status Tower Multi Plug Extension is ideal for home or office users needing to power multiple devices and charge USB gadgets simultaneously. Its key benefit is the compact tower design with surge protection, offering a convenient and safe power solution. A potential caveat is that the USB ports share a total amperage, which might limit charging speed for multiple high-power devices.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total amperage for the USB ports?

The two USB ports share a total output of 2.4 Amps.

Does the surge protection need resetting?

Some surge protection units include a reset button. Check the product for such a feature. If the surge protection has been activated, it may be compromised and the unit might need replacement.

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only and should not be exposed to moisture or outdoor elements.

How many devices can I plug in at once?

You can plug in up to 8 devices into the sockets, plus up to two USB devices. Ensure the total power consumption of all plugged-in devices does not exceed the extension lead's maximum rated power.

What is the length of the power cord?

The power cord is 2 meters long.

How do I know if the extension lead is working?

The integrated neon indicator light will illuminate when the extension lead is receiving power and is operational.

Troubleshooting

No power to sockets or USB ports

Check that the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket. Ensure the wall socket itself is working by testing it with another appliance. Verify that the neon indicator light is on; if not, the unit may be faulty or the surge protection may have tripped (some units have a reset button for this).

USB devices not charging or charging slowly

Confirm the USB device is properly connected. Ensure the total amperage draw of all connected USB devices does not exceed 2.4 Amps. Try connecting only one device to see if it charges at a normal rate. Some high-power devices may require a dedicated charger.

Surge protection indicator shows an issue (if applicable)

Some surge protectors have a separate indicator for surge protection status. If this shows a fault, the surge protection may have been compromised. It's advisable to replace the extension lead to ensure continued protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the extension lead into a standard wall socket. The neon indicator will illuminate, confirming it is powered. Connect your devices to the 8 sockets or the USB ports as needed. Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the extension lead's maximum capacity (refer to product specifications for exact limits, typically printed on the device or packaging).

Compatibility: This extension lead is compatible with all standard UK mains-powered devices. The USB ports are suitable for most USB-powered devices, including smartphones, tablets, and e-readers. It is designed for indoor use only.

Care: Keep the extension lead clean and dry. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the lead is not kinked or damaged. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Periodically check the cable and plug for any signs of wear or damage.
