3. Product Overview

The Mojawo Intertek GS Outdoor Cable Reel (Model 9205) is designed to provide extended power access for outdoor and indoor applications. It features a robust plastic housing, a 20-meter cable, and four IP44-rated sockets with individual covers for protection against dust and splashing water. An integrated thermal cut-out ensures safety by preventing overheating.

Figure 1: Intertek GS Outdoor Cable Reel with 4 Sockets. This image displays a black cable reel with a 20-meter cable wound around it. The front face of the reel features four covered electrical sockets, each marked IP44. A prominent red button, indicating the thermal cut-out, is located in the center of the sockets. The reel is supported by a stable black metal frame and includes a sturdy handle for portability and winding.

Key Components:

• Cable Reel Drum: Houses the 20-meter extension cable.
• 4 x IP44 Sockets: Protected outlets for connecting electrical devices.
• Thermal Cut-out Button: A red button that resets the thermal protection after it has tripped.
• Winding Handle: For easy coiling and uncoiling of the cable.
• Stable Foot/Frame: Provides stability during use.

4. Setup

1. Placement: Position the cable reel on a stable, flat surface, away from direct heat sources or flammable materials. Ensure the location is suitable for its IP44 rating (protected from splashing water).
2. Unrolling the Cable: For safety and to prevent overheating, always unroll the entire 20-meter cable from the reel before connecting it to a power source and using high-power devices. Use the winding handle to facilitate unrolling.
3. Connecting to Power: Plug the cable reel's main plug into a suitable, grounded wall socket.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Connecting Devices: Open the protective covers of the IP44 sockets and plug in your electrical devices. Ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the cable reel's maximum rated load.
2. Thermal Protection: The cable reel is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If the cable or reel overheats due to excessive load or insufficient unrolling, the power supply will automatically cut off. The red button in the center of the sockets will pop out.
3. Resetting Thermal Protection: If the thermal cut-out trips, disconnect all connected devices and the main plug from the wall socket. Allow the cable reel to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes. Once cooled, press the red thermal cut-out button firmly to reset it. You can then reconnect the main plug and your devices.
4. Disconnecting: When finished, unplug all devices from the sockets, then unplug the main cable reel from the wall socket.
5. Coiling the Cable: Use the winding handle to neatly coil the cable back onto the reel for storage.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the cable reel from the power supply. Wipe the plastic housing and cable with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the sockets.
• Storage: Store the cable reel in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cable is neatly coiled to prevent kinks or damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable, plug, and sockets for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. If any damage is found, discontinue use and have it inspected by a qualified electrician.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Power to Devices:
  • Check if the main plug is securely connected to the wall socket.
  • Verify that the wall socket itself is live (test with another device).
  • Check if the thermal cut-out button has tripped (red button popped out). If so, follow the "Resetting Thermal Protection" steps in Section 5.
  • Ensure the cable is fully unrolled, especially if using high-power appliances.
• Cable Reel Overheats:
  • This is usually due to the cable not being fully unrolled or exceeding the maximum load. Always unroll the entire cable.
  • Reduce the number or power of connected devices.
  • Allow the unit to cool down and reset the thermal cut-out.
