FAQs
What is the maximum load this extension socket can handle?
This is a 13 Amp extension socket, meaning the total combined power draw of all connected devices should not exceed 13 Amps.
What type of plugs can I use with this socket?
This extension socket is designed for Type G (BS 1363) plugs, which are the standard 3-pin UK mains plugs.
How does the surge protection work?
The surge protection works by diverting excess voltage away from your connected devices during a power surge. It has a clamping voltage of 775V and a response time of less than 50 nanoseconds.
Are the LED indicators important?
Yes, the LED indicators show that the unit is receiving power and that the surge protection circuitry is active and functional. If the surge protection indicator is off, the unit should be replaced.
Can I use this extension socket outdoors?
No, this extension socket is designed for indoor use only and should be kept in a dry environment.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's information for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.
Can I plug other extension leads into this socket?
It is not recommended to 'daisy-chain' extension leads by plugging one into another. This can overload the sockets and pose a fire risk. Connect devices directly to the outlets on this extension lead.
Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices.
Check if the extension socket is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Ensure the wall socket is functional by testing it with another device. Verify that the overload protection has not been tripped (if applicable and indicated). Confirm that the extension lead's fuse is intact if it has a replaceable fuse.
LED indicator is not lit.
If the power indicator LED is off, check the connection to the wall socket and ensure the wall socket is live. If the surge protection indicator is off, the surge protection may have been compromised by a significant surge or is malfunctioning. In this case, replace the unit immediately for continued protection.
Extension socket feels warm.
A slight warmth during heavy use is normal. However, if it becomes excessively hot, immediately unplug all connected devices and the extension socket itself. Check the total power draw of connected devices; you may be exceeding the 13A rating. Ensure the unit is not covered or in an enclosed space restricting airflow.
