Camco PowerGrip 30AM/15AF RV Electrical Adapter Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Camco PowerGrip 30AM/15AF RV Electrical Adapter is designed to connect a 15-amp appliance to a 30-amp RV power pedestal. This adapter features a 30-amp male (NEMA TT-30P) connector and a 15-amp female (NEMA 5-15R) connector, rated for 125V/1875W. Its contoured design with non-slip grooves facilitates easy and secure handling.

Safety Information

Always ensure all connections are secure before applying power. Do not overload the adapter beyond its rated capacity of 15A/125V/1875W. Disconnect power at the source before connecting or disconnecting the adapter. Inspect the adapter for any damage before each use. Do not use if the adapter or any connected cords are damaged.

Setup and Connection

1. Step 1: Prepare the Power Pedestal
   Ensure the circuit breaker at the 30-amp power pedestal is in the "OFF" position before making any connections.
2. Step 2: Connect the Adapter to the Power Pedestal
   Take the male end of the Camco PowerGrip adapter (NEMA TT-30P) and firmly plug it into the 30-amp outlet on the power pedestal. The contoured design with non-slip grooves assists in a secure grip.

Operating Instructions

The adapter allows your 15-amp device to draw power from a 30-amp RV pedestal. Ensure the total amperage draw of your connected 15-amp appliances does not exceed the adapter's 15-amp rating (1875 watts at 125 volts) to prevent circuit overload and potential damage.

Maintenance

• Keep the adapter clean and free from dirt, dust, and moisture.
• Store in a dry place when not in use.
• Periodically inspect the adapter for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the housing or electrical contacts. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the adapter.

Troubleshooting

• No Power to Appliance:
  • Check if the circuit breaker at the power pedestal is "ON".
  • Ensure all connections (adapter to pedestal, appliance cord to adapter) are fully seated and secure.
  • Verify that the power pedestal itself is supplying power.
  • Check the appliance's own power cord and internal fuse/breaker.
• Circuit Breaker Trips:
  • This indicates an overload. Reduce the number of appliances drawing power through the adapter. The adapter is rated for 15 amps.
  • Inspect the adapter and appliance cords for any shorts or damage.
