4.3. Connecting to the mains
Connect the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the hub using the 4-Pin Mini DIN plug. Connect the power
cable to the PSU. Making sure you adhere to local safety regulations, connect the power cable to the
100 – 250 VAC mains power outlet and switch the hub on using the small power switch located
adjacent to the power input connector on the hub. When the device is switched on, a LED next to the
power input will be illuminated. The hub is now ready to charge attached devices.
Periodic inspections should be made to power supply cables and any USB cables for any signs of
damage. If any damage is found, replace the damaged cord before further use.
Please note that USB specifications require a minimum 100 mA charge current to be available during
data transfer. As indicated in above, if the attached device has a BC1.2 compliant CDP port, the
device can draw up to 2.4A whilst transferring data.
4.4. Charging
Your MultiCharger14-2.4A will allow your device to charge at the maximum rate possible up to 2.4A.
The way that charging takes place is the MultiCharger14-2.4A will provide the device with a capability
to charge and the devices USB charging controller will determine the maximum amount of charge it
wants to draw down.
Although a maximum charge rate of 2.4A is possible, the device itself determines the exact rate and
as such you may not see the maximum amount of charging on every device type that is connected.
4.5. Cables
Some USB cables are data transfer only, and some are power delivery only. There are also options
that can handle both tasks. Be sure to verify a cable’s abilities before purchasing it and select a cable
which can handle the speeds and power transfer that you require. We would advise using the cable
that was provided with the device to connect to our hubs.
4.5.1 Fan Behaviour
Your MultiCharger14-2.4A has an inbuilt fan used to cool the product when internal temperatures rise
above a set threshold. On power up the fan will spin for approximately a second before turning off.
The temperature at which the fan should begin to cool the device is 26 °C, the fan will be at max
speed when the internal temperature reaches 60. Once the MultiCharger14-2.4A is below internal
temperature of 26 the fan will switch off.
