Product Information

Full details

The TESSAN Tower Extension Lead is designed for individuals needing to power and charge multiple electronic devices in one central location. Its primary benefit is consolidating numerous power adapters into a single unit, reducing clutter and maximizing charging options. A key consideration is its power draw, which should not exceed the 3250W maximum to avoid overloading. This multi-plug adapter offers 8 AC outlets and 4 USB ports, all managed by a main power switch and protected by a 1700J surge protector.

FAQs

What is the maximum wattage this extension lead can handle?

The TESSAN Tower Extension Lead has a maximum capacity of 3250W. Ensure the total wattage of all connected devices does not exceed this limit to prevent overload.

Can I plug in high-power appliances like microwaves or kettles?

Yes, you can plug in high-power appliances, but you must monitor the total power draw. If you plug in a high-wattage appliance, ensure other connected devices do not push the total over the 3250W limit.

How many devices can I connect at once?

You can connect up to 8 devices to the AC outlets and up to 4 devices to the USB ports, for a total of 12 devices simultaneously, provided the total power draw remains within the 3250W limit.

Does the surge protection have an indicator light?

Yes, there is an indicator light on the top of the unit that shows the status of the surge protection.

What type of USB ports does it have?

This model features 4 standard USB-A ports for charging compatible devices.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

While the cord offers reach for outdoor spaces like gardens, the unit itself is not designed for outdoor weather conditions and should be kept dry and protected from the elements.

How does the overload protection work?

The overload protection will automatically cut off power to the extension lead if an excessive current is detected, protecting your connected devices and preventing potential hazards.

Troubleshooting

No power to any outlets

Check if the main power switch is ON. Ensure the unit is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Verify the circuit breaker for the outlet has not tripped.

Some AC outlets or USB ports are not working

Ensure the total power draw does not exceed the 3250W limit. If one outlet/port is overloaded, it may shut down. Try plugging devices into different outlets/ports. Check if the overload protection has been triggered (may require unplugging and replugging).

Device plugged in shows 'slow charging' or doesn't charge

Confirm the device is connected to a USB port. The USB ports provide standard charging speeds; for faster charging, a dedicated fast charger may be needed. Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the total USB load is not too high.

Indicator lights are off

The surge protection and grounded protection indicator lights should be on when power is supplied and the unit is properly grounded. If they are off, it might indicate a loss of surge protection or grounding. Consult the manual or contact support if this persists.
