Overview
* | Ground fault circuit interrupter turns regular outlets into safety outlets |
* | Instantly shuts off power to protect aquarium equipment from electrical damage |
* | Essential electrical safety equipment for aquarium hobbyists |
Protection against electrical shocks and equipment damage. Five Outlet ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) converts a single outlet into 5 safety outlets. 24" Inline GFCI Perfect for indoor and outdoor use, the 2' In-Line GFCI has a heavy-duty, 12-gauge, 3-outlet power cord and built-in GFCI protection against hazardous shock from damaged cords or exposure to water.
Shock Buster Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters protect against:
- Frayed, damaged electrical cords
- Hazardous electrical leakage levels in appliances and tools
- Electric shock caused by appliances and tools exposed to water
How does it work?
- Shock Buster instantly detects ground fault caused by electrical current leakage
- Shuts off power in a fraction of a second
- Built-in electronic sensing device detects leakage currents as low as 4mA**
**(4 thousandths of an amp - very low) and in a fraction of a second turns the power off to prevent injury.
- Plug GFCI into a 120 VAC power outlet.
- Verify that the red LED indicator turns on. This indicates power to the GFCI output receptacle.
- Press the test button and verify that the red LED light turns off.
- Press and release the reset button and verify that the red LED indicator turns on.
- The GFCI is now ready to use.

- Ideal for family TV rooms, dens, dormitory rooms, garages, basement rec rooms
- Five outlets with Shock Buster protection
Warning:
- If the GFCI fails to trip (turn off) when the test button is pressed or fails to reset (turn on), the device is defective and should not be used.
- If the GFCI tests properly without a load applied but trips each time a load is connected, then the load has a ground fault condition and needs to be repaired or replaced. DO NOT bypass the GFCI if this condition occurs. A real shock hazard may exist.
Important Notes:
TOWER's GFCI products will provide protection against ground faults when used with a 2-wire receptacle and a 3-wire to 2-wire adapter. However, it is best to use a 3-wire grounded outlet for ground fault circuit interrupters equipped with a ground pin. It will provide additional protection against electrical shock hazards.TOWER's GFCI products will not sense ground fault conditions on the input conductors; therefore, it is recommended that all additional extension cords should be connected to the GFCI output.
Caution:
- This device is to be used on normal distribution systems 120VAC/15AMPS 60HZ maximum.
- The GFCI is a safety device. Do not use the TEST and RESET buttons as an on/off switch.
- All Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters do not protect against electrical shock resulting from contact with both current-carrying conductors of an electrical circuit.
- Do not connect any extension cord longer than 100 feet to the GFCI output to avoid the possibility of nuisance tripping.
- Test frequently and before each use to ensure proper operation.
- Do not use where water may enter the GFCI case.
- Do not modify or immerse this device.
- Do not exceed electrical rating.
