30m Professional Cable Reel Overheating Protection

A retractable extension lead makes it easy to connect electrical appliances up to 30 metres away from a fixed socket. Indispensable on building sites, in the garden, in small businesses, at amusement parks, in industry and in everyday life.
The thermal relay protects against exceeding the maximum permissible connected load.
The insulated rubberised handle ensures safe and comfortable operation.
The enclosed frame is made of steel tubing.
All extension cables have an moulded plug in the same colour as the cable.
All necessary technical information regarding the operation of extension cables on a reel is printed on the front of the case and on the sticker.

Basic product data:
The IEK brand portable cable reel with overheating protection (hereinafter referred to as the portable power cable) is designed to connect remote electrical appliances to a single-phase mains supply with a voltage of 230 V and a frequency of 50 Hz.
The portable power cable complies with the requirements of the technical regulations LVD 2014/35/EU, RoHS 2011/65/EU and (EU) 2015/863.
Scope of application of the portable power cable: temporary power supply in buildings (portable power cable with IP20 protection) and outdoors (portable power cable with IP44 protection) for portable, mobile electrical appliances and electrical installations.

Safety precautions:

Portable power cables from the INDUSTRIAL, INDUSTRIAL PLUS and PROFESSIONAL series comply with Class I in accordance with IEC 61140.
Portable power cables from the GARDEN series comply with Class II. Check the electrical connections and the integrity of the flexible cable regularly.
During operation, the portable power cable must be installed away from chemically active environments and flammable or highly flammable objects.
When operating the portable power cable at sub-zero temperatures, the cable should be unwound and wound back onto the reel indoors at above-zero air temperatures.
When using a portable power cable with the cable unwound, you must keep the cable away from sharp and cutting objects that could damage it.

Prohibited:
Operating a portable power cable if the casing or flexible cable is mechanically damaged. Dismantling the product.
Connecting loads that exceed the permissible total power rating to the portable power cable. Connecting the portable power cable to a damaged socket.

Caution:

When operating the portable power cable at sub-zero temperatures, avoid subjecting the cable to bending or impact stresses.
The portable power cable has a built-in thermal switch, controlled by the ‘Return’ button, which protects the flexible cable from overheating if the permissible load is exceeded.
If the portable power cable is disconnected (the thermal switch trips) because the permissible operating temperature of the flexible cable has been exceeded, the following steps should be taken:
- After 1–2 minutes (the time required for the thermobimetal to cool down), press the red ‘Return’ button on the front of the portable power cable housing;
- If the thermal switch trips again after pressing the ‘Return’ button, it is necessary to reduce the total power of the connected load.
