At Ericson, safety is our biggest priority. That’s why we’re excited to announce the upgraded versions of our industry-leading Smart Monitor Devices and Factory Assembled Cordsets line. With several exclusive safety patents, these products guarantee reliable, corded connections in any workspace—no matter how demanding the environment.

Exceeding Safety Standards

Our Smart Monitor Device solutions don’t just meet safety standards—they go above and beyond. They offer a patented 7-point check system, meeting and exceeding OSHA, NEC, and CSA requirements for the Assured Equipment Grounding Conductor Program (AEGCP).

How the 7-Point Check System Goes Beyond Compliance With AEGCP

The AEGCP program focuses on ensuring the safety of workers who rely on portable power, particularly portable cords. The program requires a thorough inspection process in order to verify cord continuity, ground condition, and overall integrity, as by checking for severed conductors and damage. Traditionally, each time that a worker receives a cord, it is checked to ensure that it meets all of these standards. Then, once the worker returns the cord, it’s checked again. 

The Smart Monitor solution simplifies and streamlines this process. When both the SM Plug and SM Connector are attached to a cordset, the system begins by checking the power source at the receptacle, making sure that the first point of contact is properly wired. 

Once that initial check is complete, the SM Connector takes over, continuously monitoring the cord for any damage or improper wiring. Bright green LEDs indicate a safe condition, while red LEDs alert workers to potential hazards at either the receptacle or the connector.

Improved Protection

Jobsites that take advantage of Ericson’s Smart Monitor solutions see drastically improved security when compared to traditional methods. SM Plugs and Connectors make cords infinitely safer because they confirm that the receptacle feeding the cord is working, and they also continue to monitor the cord in real time. If any cord damage does occur while in use, the worker is immediately notified on either the receptacle or both ends of the cord.

Built for Rugged Environments & Long-Lasting Performance

The Ericson Smart Monitor solution comes in a variety of configurations to suit your specific needs. Choose from 15 or 20 amp options, all rated for 125V. We also offer indoor, dust, and moisture-resistant versions, as well as a watertight IP69K option for particularly extreme environments.

Additionally, Ericson provides a wide range of factory-assembled cordsets featuring either an industrial plug and Smart Monitor Connector or both a Smart Monitor Plug and Connector. These cordsets are built to withstand the test of time while taking the guesswork out of cord safety, with features designed to handle all the rigors of the jobsite.
