GFCI/ELCI*
The Portacool Jetstream™ series utilizes a GFCI (Grounded Fault Circuit Interrupter) or ELCI (Equipment Leakage Circuit
Interrupter) to help protect users against ground electrical faults, which prevent some fire and electrical shock hazards. These
devices are intended to trip at very low leakage currents.
Portacool Jetstream models PACJS220, PACJS230, PACJS240, PACJS250 and PACJS260 use a GFCI, which is built into the
power cord
Portacool Jetstream model PACJS270 uses an ELCI, which is built into the power cord and requires a 5-20R (120V) electrical
outlet
The GFCI on models PACJS220, PACJS230, PACJS240, PACJS250 and PACJS260 will automatically reset when the evaporative
cooler is plugged into an electrical outlet. The ELCI on model PACJS270 will not automatically reset when the evaporative cooler is
plugged into an electrical outlet; the “reset” button located on the ELCI device must be pressed each time the evaporative cooler is
plugged in.
If the GFCI is tripped and a simple “reset” will not work, please contact the Portacool Customer Service at (936) 598-5651 or
(800) 695-2942 for more troubleshooting information.
*Products not sold in North America or products with 220/50 volt requirements will not have a GFCI/ELCI.
