1. Product Overview
The TESSAN 6-in-1 GaN 65W Power Strip (Model: GM-HS550A-EU-BK) is a versatile charging station designed to power and charge multiple devices simultaneously. It features two AC outlets, two USB-C ports with Power Delivery (PD) up to 65W, and two USB-A ports, all integrated into a compact design with a 1.5-meter extension cable and surge protection.
2. Safety Instructions
- Do not exceed the maximum rated power of 4000W.
- Ensure the power strip is connected to a properly grounded outlet.
- Avoid using in wet environments or near water.
- Do not disassemble or modify the device.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Unplug the power strip from the wall outlet when not in use for extended periods.
- Do not bundle the extension cable tightly when in use to prevent overheating.
- This device includes surge protection. In the event of a severe power surge, the protection may activate, potentially requiring replacement of the unit.
3. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the power strip from its packaging.
- Placement: Place the power strip on a stable, flat surface. The integrated non-slip mats on the bottom help secure it in place. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Connect to Power: Plug the power strip's EU plug into a standard 230V wall outlet.
- Power On: Press the circular power button on the side of the unit to activate the AC outlets and USB ports. The button will illuminate when active.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 AC Outlets
- The power strip features two standard EU AC outlets.
- These outlets are controlled by the main power switch. When the switch is on, power is supplied to both AC outlets.
- Connect devices requiring up to 4000W total across both AC outlets.
4.2 USB Charging Ports
The power strip includes two USB-C ports (C1, C2) and two USB-A ports (A1, A2) for charging various electronic devices. The USB ports support fast charging technologies, including Power Delivery (PD) for USB-C.
USB Port Output Specifications:
- USB-C1 / USB-C2: Up to 65W Power Delivery (PD) each when used individually.
- USB-A1: Up to 60W when used individually.
- USB-A2: Up to 5W when used individually.
Note on Shared Power: The total USB power output is 65W. When multiple USB ports are used simultaneously, the power is dynamically distributed. The maximum output for each port will adjust based on the number and type of connected devices. Refer to the power distribution table below for common scenarios.
Common USB Power Distribution Scenarios:
| Ports in Use | C1 Output (Max) | C2 Output (Max) | A1 Output (Max) | A2 Output (Max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1 only | 65W | - | - | - |
| C1 + C2 | 45W | 20W | - | - |
| C1 + A1 | 45W | - | 18W | - |
| C1 + A2 | 60W | - | - | 5W |
| C1 + C2 + A1 | 45W | 15W | 5W | - |
| C1 + A1 + A2 | 45W | - | 10W | 5W |
| C1 + C2 + A2 | 45W | 15W | - | 5W |
| C1 + C2 + A1 + A2 | 45W | 10W | 5W | 5W |
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use, store the power strip in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power strip and its cable for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires or cracked casing. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and contact support.
6. Troubleshooting
- Device not charging or power strip not turning on:
-
- Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet.
- Verify that the power button on the power strip is pressed and illuminated.
- Check if the total power consumption of connected devices exceeds the rated 4000W for AC outlets or 65W for USB ports. Overload protection may have been triggered.
- Try connecting a different device to confirm if the issue is with the power strip or the device being charged.
- For USB charging, ensure your device's cable is compatible and functioning correctly.
- Slow charging speed:
-
- When multiple USB ports are in use, the total 65W power is shared. Disconnect other USB devices to allow a single device to receive maximum power.
- Ensure your device supports fast charging and that you are using a compatible cable.
- Power strip feels warm:
-
- It is normal for the power strip to feel slightly warm during heavy use, especially when fast charging multiple devices.
- If it becomes excessively hot or emits a burning smell, immediately unplug it from the wall outlet and discontinue use. This may indicate an overload or internal fault.

8. User Tips
- Optimal Placement: Due to its compact size and 1.5m cable, this power strip is ideal for use on desks, bedside tables, or in travel bags, helping to keep your space tidy.
- Cable Management: The 2-sided design helps reduce cable clutter. Arrange your charging cables to utilize both sides efficiently for a cleaner setup.
- Prioritize Charging: For devices requiring maximum fast charging (e.g., laptops via USB-C), try to charge them individually or with fewer other USB devices connected to ensure they receive the highest possible power output.
- AC Outlet Control: Remember that the main power switch controls only the AC outlets. USB ports may remain active even if the AC outlets are switched off, depending on the internal design (though typically they are linked). Always unplug from the wall for complete power cut-off.
