Electrical Information

Safety Precautions

Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety precautions are not observed.

• Ensure that only a qualified electrician installs/services this equipment.
• Ensure that power supply voltage does not exceed maximum voltage rating of reel.
• Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting to power supply.
• All cord reels with flying leads must be hard wired to ensure proper function.
• Ensure that all electrical power is removed from reel before servicing.
• A high-tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise extreme caution.
• Check for frayed and/or broken wires before each use. Pull electrical cord from reel by grasping the electrical cord itself, not the work device.
• If an electrical malfunction should occur, remove power from reel immediately.
• Ensure that reel, electrical cord, and equipment being serviced are properly grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground continuity.
• If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove power immediately. Do not pull or jerk on electrical cord!
• Treat and respect the reel as any other piece of machinery, observing all common safety practices.

Installation Instructions

Mounting
CAUTION: Unless reel was specified differently when ordering, maximum installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed this distance. Ensure that only a qualified electrician installs/services this equipment. Installation of GFCI cord reels  should be performed by a qualified and licensed professional in accordance with building codes and applicable NEC standards.

1. Unpack and inspect reel for damage. Turn by hand to check for smooth operation.
   Check for completeness.

2. Configure reel for top, side or bottomward (bottom-wind for constant tension reels only) electrical cord dispensing by removing bolts (1), securing guide arm bracket (2). Determine new guide arm location and remove corresponding bolts. Position guide arm bracket to reel and replace bolts.

3. Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling.  Secure into place, using four (customer supplied) screws or bolts (3).

Installing the Input Electrical Cable
WARNING: Use only 12/3 or 16/3 cable for input wiring. Ensure that application does not exceed electrical rating of reel.

1. Feed input cable (3) through elbow (1) and main shaft. Make sure that input cable extends 6” from collector.
2. Screw elbow (1) into reel.
3. Connect input wires (3) and collector ring wires (4) together using splicing connectors (5).
4. Take the provided zip tie (not pictured) and zip tie the input cable wires together closest to the slip ring.
5. Assemble cover (6) to reel.

Installing the Output Electrical Cable
WARNING: Select output cable in accordance with power requirement of apparatus to be supplied. Ensure that application does not exceed electrical rating of reel. Use extreme caution, reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism.

1. Manually turn sheave (4) until spring is tight, back off 2 turns, and latch.
2. Remove access cover (9).
3. Remove 6” of output cable outer jacket (3).
4. Route cable through strain relief (1), then through cut out in spool (4).
5. Pull enough cable through for roughly 1/2 an inner wrap. Route cable behind the brush holder (10), then route cable through the two cable clamps (8) securing it in place.
6. Connect output wires with splicing connectors (7) as shown.
7. Connect ground wire to grounding stud (6) as shown.
8. Using Ohmmeter check for ground faults.
9. Replace cover (9).
10. Release latch and wind cable onto reel.
11. Install bumper stop (2).

Adjustments – Spring Tension

If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or removing wraps of electrical cord from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained. Add wraps to increase tension. Remove wraps todecrease tension.

WARNING: When adding wraps of electrical cord, be careful not to exceed the winding mechanism’s spring capacity. Add just enough wraps of cord to achieve the desired tension. Damage to the winding mechanism will result if spring is over-tensioned. Always be aware of spring tension on reel. Exercise extreme caution.

Troubleshooting Instructions

Troubleshooting of the reel consists of isolating a problem to a defective electrical cord/work device, brush holder/brushes, or collector assembly. Refer any other discrepancies only to an authorized service person or directly to Reel craft.

WARNING: The following procedure directs the technician to take voltage measurements. Remember, even low voltage is dangerous and can cause personal injury or death. Exercise extreme caution! Ensure that only a qualified electrician installs/services this equipment.

1. If work device is either an incandescent, replace bulb with a known good bulb. If this does not correct the problem, proceed to step 2. If work device is an electrical receptacle, ensure that tool or fixture connected to it is in good working order. If it is, proceed to step 2.

2. Remove power from reel.

3. Remove access cover (9).

4. Reapply power to reel.

5. Check for correct voltage (120 V AC) at splicing connectors (7). If voltage reading is correct, replace output electrical cord/work device (refer to Service Instructions). If voltage reading is incorrect, proceed to step 6.

6. Disconnect power from reel.

7. Using ohmmeter, check continuity of input electrical cord. If cord checks good, proceed to step 8. If cord is faulty, replace it (refer to Service Instructions).

8. Remove brush holder (10) and brushes (12) from reel and inspect (refer to Service Instructions). Replace defective components then proceed to step 9.

9. Reapply power to reel.

10. Check for correct voltage (120 V AC) at splicing connectors (7).
    If voltage reading is still incorrect, replace defective collector assembly (10) (refer to Service Instructions).

11. Replace access cover (9).

Service Instructions

Maintain reel by following the service instructions given below. Refer all other repairs, other than those listed, only to an authorized service person or directly to Reelcraft. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage and may void the warranty (refer to page 5 when referencing parts).

WARNING: Remove power from reel before performing any of the following procedures.

Replacing the Output Electrical Cord/Work Device
WARNING: Use extreme caution, reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism.

1. Pull output electrical cord from reel until fully extended, then latch.
2. Remove output electrical bumper stop (2).
3. Disconnect output electrical cord/work device (3) at splicing connectors (7).
4. Remove strain relief (1). Remove output electrical cord/work device.
5. Install replacement electrical cord/work device by reversing steps 2 through 4.
6. Release latch and rewind electrical cord onto reel.
7. Replace access cover (9).

Replacing the Input Electrical Cord

1. Remove splicing connectors (15) securing input electrical cord to collector assembly (10).
2. Remove 90 degree elbow (not pictured).
3. Remove input electrical cord.
4. Remove 11” of outer jacket from replacement input electrical cord (input electrical cord wires must protrude a minimum of 6” from center of collector assembly).
5. Install replacement input electrical cord by reversing steps 1 through 3.
6. Replace access cover (9).

Replacing the Brush Holder/Brushes

1. At splicing connectors (7), remove wires connecting brushes (3) to outlet wire.
2. Remove nuts holding brush holder (10) to reel. Relocate cable clamp (8) temporarily and remove brush holder (10).
3. Remove brushes from brush holder (10).
4. Install replacement brush holder (10) and brushes (12) by reversing steps 1 through 3. Upon completion of installation, ensure good contact between new brush installation and ring.
