The AREBOS Automatic Cable Rewinder, identified by model numbers AR-HE-AKA10, AR-HE-AKA15, and AR-HE-AKA20, is designed to serve as an extension cable for electrical connections, offering convenience and organization for various applications. This device is specifically engineered to automatically retract its cable, preventing tangles and ensuring a tidy workspace.
Function Description:
The primary function of the AREBOS Automatic Cable Rewinder is to provide an easily deployable and retractable electrical extension. It acts as a conduit for electrical power, allowing users to extend power to various locations without the hassle of manually coiling and uncoiling cables. The automatic retraction mechanism is a key feature, designed to simplify storage and prevent tripping hazards or damage to the cable. The device is intended for use in environments where a flexible and organized power supply is required.
Important Technical Specifications:
The AREBOS Automatic Cable Rewinder comes in three variants, differing primarily in cable length:
- AR-HE-AKA10: Features a 10-meter cable.
- AR-HE-AKA15: Features a 15-meter cable.
- AR-HE-AKA20: Features a 20-meter cable.
All models share common electrical specifications:
- Voltage: 230V AC
- Current: 16A
The housing material for all models is PP (Polypropylene), chosen for its durability and protective qualities.
Usage Features:
The AREBOS Automatic Cable Rewinder is designed for straightforward use and installation.
- Installation: The unit is intended for wall mounting. Users need to drill two M8 holes to match the mounting bracket, then connect the cable drum to the bracket using a trunnion. It is crucial to ensure the wall is suitable for mounting, consulting qualified personnel if necessary.
- Cable Deployment: The cable can be pulled out to the desired length. It features 2-3 locking positions every meter, allowing the user to secure the cable at specific intervals.
- Automatic Retraction: To retract the cable, users should hold the connectors and allow the cable to rewind automatically.
- Overheating Prevention: A critical usage note is that the device does not have a temperature switch to prevent overheating. To avoid heating or fire of the cables due to inductive resistance, the drum must be unrolled completely when in use.
- Troubleshooting Retraction Issues: If the cable cannot be retracted automatically after being fully extended, it may be locked. This can be resolved by either:
- Holding the cable by the yellow warning mark and pulling it out with a jerky movement until it retracts.
- Laying the drum with its right side down and pulling the cable until it backs off.
- Safety Precautions: Users are advised to read the safety instructions carefully. The device should not be used by children under 16 or individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities without supervision. It must not be operated in rooms with a risk of explosion, with wet hands, or immersed in water. Regular checks for damage to the unit, electrical cables, or mains connection are essential. The power plug should always be inserted into a properly fused power outlet, and unplugged by holding the plug (not the cord) before any maintenance or repair work. Unauthorized modifications to the unit are strictly prohibited and will void the warranty.
Maintenance Features:
While the manual does not detail specific routine maintenance tasks, it emphasizes general safety practices that contribute to the device's longevity and safe operation.
- Pre-use Inspection: Before each use, the unit should be checked for possible damage. Defective units or parts should not be used, and in case of damage, a specialist or customer service should be contacted.
- Power Disconnection: Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet by holding the power plug before performing any maintenance, servicing, or repair work on the equipment. This is a fundamental safety measure to prevent electrical shock.
- Disposal:
- Packaging: The packaging materials are fully recyclable and should be disposed of in a bin for recyclable materials.
- Waste Equipment: The device itself, as an electrical or electronic equipment, must not be disposed of with household waste at the end of its service life. It should be taken to designated collection points for WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) for free return. This ensures proper recycling and prevents negative environmental and health consequences. Information on local collection points can be obtained from city or local government.
The AREBOS Automatic Cable Rewinder is certified with CE and GS marks, indicating compliance with European legal standards and tested safety, respectively. It also adheres to RoHS directives, restricting hazardous substances.
