IKEA ANSLUTA Power Supply Cord User Manual

1. Product Overview

The IKEA ANSLUTA Power Supply Cord is designed to provide power to IKEA lighting solutions. It allows for the connection of one or up to ten compatible lamps to a single main power supply. The integrated cord switch enables simultaneous control (on/off) of all connected lamps.

This power supply cord is an essential component for setting up IKEA ANSLUTA lighting systems, offering a convenient and centralized control point for multiple light sources.

3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly set up your IKEA ANSLUTA Power Supply Cord:

1. Unpack the Cord: Carefully remove the power supply cord from its packaging. Inspect it for any visible damage.
2. Identify Connectors: The cord has two main ends: a standard two-prong wall plug for the main power supply and a connector designed for IKEA ANSLUTA lamps. An inline switch is located along the cord.

3. Connect Lamps: Connect the IKEA ANSLUTA lamps (1 to 10) to the designated connector on the power supply cord. Ensure each lamp is securely plugged in.

5. Plug into Main Supply: Once all lamps are connected and the cord is safely routed, plug the two-prong wall plug into a standard electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

The IKEA ANSLUTA Power Supply Cord features a simple inline switch for controlling connected lamps:

• To turn on all connected lamps, slide the switch to the "ON" position.
• To turn off all connected lamps, slide the switch to the "OFF" position.

All lamps connected to this single power supply cord will operate simultaneously with the switch.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your power supply cord:

• Cleaning: Disconnect the cord from the power outlet before cleaning. Wipe the cord and switch with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or liquids.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cord for any signs of wear, cuts, fraying, or damage to the insulation.
• Storage: When not in use, store the cord in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cord sharply, as this can damage internal wires.
• Handling: Always pull from the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting from an outlet.

6. Troubleshooting

If your IKEA ANSLUTA Power Supply Cord is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• No Power to Lamps:
  • Ensure the cord's wall plug is fully inserted into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the inline switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Verify that all connected lamps are securely plugged into the cord's connector.
  • Test the electrical outlet with another device to confirm it is supplying power.
  • Inspect the cord for any visible damage (cuts, kinks, fraying). If damaged, discontinue use and replace the cord.
• Only Some Lamps Working:
  • Ensure the non-working lamps are properly connected to the power supply cord.
  • Test the non-working lamps with a different power source or another compatible power supply cord if available, to rule out issues with the lamps themselves.

If the issue persists after performing these checks, the power supply cord may be faulty and should be replaced.
