The SmartlockPro Outlet Branch Circuit (OBC) AFCI Receptacle offers advanced technology to help protect against electrical fires resulting from arc-faults. Designed to detect a wide range of potentially hazardous arc-faults resulting from damage in branch circuit wiring as well as extensions to branches such as appliances and cord sets, the OBC AFCI responds by interrupting power. Often unseen, arc-faults can occur anywhere in the home's electrical system including within walls, at loose electrical connections or within electrical cords accidently damaged by impinging furniture.

- Automatically tests the afci every time the reset button is depressed, the afci will not reset if the afci circuit is not functioning properly
- By blocking reset of the afci if protection has been compromised, the smartlockpro obc afci reduces the possibility of end-users incorrectly assuming that a reset afci is providing protection
