Each GCHK-100 relay and its auxiliary parts is carefully inspected before being packed for shipping. The unit 
should be examined immediately upon receipt. If damage or indication of rough handling is apparent, I-Gard 
should be notified promptly if replacements for damaged goods are necessary. If units received are not to be 
installed immediately they should be stored in their original packaging in an area free of dust and moisture.

In our continuing effort to bring new and innovative products to the electrical 
industry that provide additional safety and performance benefits,  
I-Gard has developed a state of the art protection relay for mobile trailing 
equipment. 

Safety is enhanced by the addition of AC touch voltage protection, the only 
relay in the market with this feature.
