Getting Started 

2.1 

Registration

You may register you and your product at  

https://cambrionix.com 

to download LiveViewer, 

our API and firmware updates.  

2.2 

Connecting to the mains

Connect the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the 
SuperSync15 using the 4-pin DIN plug.  

Connect the mains cable to the PSU. Making sure 
you adhere to local safety regulations, connect 
the mains cable to the 100 – 250 Vac mains power 
outlet and switch the SuperSync15 on using the 
small power switch located adjacent to the power 
input connector on the SuperSync15. When the 
device is switched on, a red LED will be illuminated. 
The SuperSync15 is now ready to charge attached 
devices.

2.3 

Previous  versions of Windows

If you are using a version of Microsoft Windows 
prior to Windows 10 you will need to install 
Cambrionix CDC drivers for enabling the full 
functionality of the SuperSync15.
  
To install the drivers please detach the 
SuperSync15 from the PC before executing the 
downloaded installer. The installer will prompt 
you for permission to install drivers signed by 
Cambrionix, please agree to this.
 
Once the installer has completed the installation of 
the drivers you may attach your SuperSync15.

Charging without connecting to a host computer 

When the SuperSync15 is switched on and is 
not connected to a local host computer it is 
automatically configured to charge devices using 
its intelligent charging algorithm. Simply connect 
the devices to be charged to any of the available 15 
ports (not the Host Port) using USB3.0-compliant 
cables. 

Once the devices are connected, the algorithm 
will detect the highest charge rate allowable for 
each attached device. Charging at the optimum 
rate (up to 2.1 A) specified by the manufacturer will 
commence once profiling is complete. Depending 
on the state of charge of the device attached, this 
may take tens of seconds. 

Using when connected to a host computer 

4.1 

Charging

When the SuperSync15 Host Port is connected 
to a local computer, the SuperSync15 defaults to 
Sync mode and charge currents are determined 
according to USB Implementers Forum (USB-
IF) Super-Speed USB3.0 specifications. If the 
attached device complies with USB-IF Battery 
Charging specification BC1.2 and supports Charging 
Downstream Port (CDP), the SuperSync15 can 
provide high-speed charging at up to 1.5 A. If the 
connected device does not comply with BC1.2, 
the charge current will be limited to 500 mA in 
compliance with USB specifications.

If a higher charge rate (2.1 A) is required to sync 
Apple products (only), the NVRAM settings of the 
SuperSync15 must be changed. 

Please contact [email protected] for  
information and advice on how to do this

4.2 

Data Transfer

If you wish to transfer data, change applications, 
restore or update your mobile device, a data  
connection to a local host computer is required. 
The SuperSync15 works independently to the 
Operating System (OS) and data transfer can 
be performed to all common mobile operating 
systems, such as iOS, Android, Chromebook and 
Microsoft. In order to transfer data, connect the 
host port to your local (host) computer using a 
Type-A to Type-A USB3.0 compliant cable. Any 
devices connected to the SuperSync15 will now 
appear as if they were connected to the host
