The Klein Tools PowerBox1 is a versatile multi-port power distributor designed for both AC and USB devices, featuring a powerful LED work light and surge protection. This device is engineered for convenience and safety, making it suitable for various indoor applications where multiple power sources are needed.
The PowerBox1 serves as a central hub for powering multiple electronic devices. It includes four 120V AC power outlets, allowing users to plug in standard electrical appliances. In addition to AC power, it offers comprehensive USB charging capabilities with one USB-C output that supports Power Delivery (PD) for fast charging of compatible devices, and two USB-A outputs for general USB charging. The total USB output is 45W, accommodating a wide range of portable electronics.
A key feature of the PowerBox1 is its integrated LED work light, which provides 100 lumens of illumination. This work light is activated by a dedicated power button, making it useful in dimly lit environments or as a supplementary light source.
For enhanced safety, the device incorporates surge protection, rated at 2160 Joules, Class 3, 600V (L-N, L-G, N-G). This protection safeguards connected devices from power surges and spikes. An indicator light illuminates when the unit is surge protected, providing a visual confirmation of its active status. Additionally, an over-current protection mechanism, set at 125V, 15A, prevents overloading of the unit.
The PowerBox1 also features a grounded input indicator, which lights up when an active ground is present on the AC supply, ensuring proper electrical connection and safety.
The device is designed for ease of use and portability. It comes with a 5 ft. (1.5 m) AC power cord, providing flexibility in placement. The main AC power on/off switch controls the power supply to both the AC outlets and the USB ports, allowing for convenient power management.
Mounting options are a significant advantage of the PowerBox1. It includes four mounting locations and four neodymium magnets, allowing it to be securely attached to various surfaces. When mounting by fasteners or nails, it is crucial to use all four mounting locations for stability. For safety, it is recommended to disconnect power from the PowerBox1 before mounting.
The PowerBox1 is built to withstand typical job site conditions, with a drop protection rating of 6.6 ft. (2 m). Its robust construction ensures durability in demanding environments.
Users are advised to follow specific safety warnings to ensure safe operation. It is critical not to use the product if it is damaged or modified, and to avoid subjecting it to severe vibrations, impacts, or drops, as internal components could be compromised even without visible external damage. The unit should not be exposed to rain or snow and should be kept away from high voltage devices.
When using the USB ports, it is important not to attempt to insert other USB connector types into the USB-C or USB-A ports to prevent damage. The surge protector should not be overloaded beyond its maximum capacity of 1875W. The device is intended for indoor use only and in dry locations. It should never be connected to an ungrounded outlet or used with extension cord adapters that eliminate the ground connection.
Maintaining the PowerBox1 is straightforward. For cleaning, the device must be disconnected from all power sources and devices. A clean, dry, soft, lint-free cloth should be used to wipe down the entire unit. Abrasive cleaners or solvents should not be used, as they can damage the device's surfaces.
For storage, the PowerBox1 should be kept in cool temperatures and mild humidity, away from direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can negatively impact the device's service life and performance. Storing the unit in a vehicle or other confined spaces with extreme heat can lead to overheating or fire. Similarly, extreme cold temperatures below the specified storage range can harm performance and service life. It is also important to keep the device away from corrosive chemicals and gases.
After storage, especially for extended periods, the unit should be visually inspected to ensure that the device and all accessories appear satisfactory. It is advisable to allow the unit to return to ambient conditions before using it again.
The PowerBox1 is designed for long-term use, and proper maintenance contributes to its longevity and reliable performance. In case of disposal, the device and its accessories should not be placed in regular trash but should be disposed of according to local regulations, with resources like www.epa.gov or www.erecycle.org available for additional information on proper disposal.
