Introduction
The nLTS (Lenovo Tablet Simulcharge) product line allows USB 2.0 peripherals to be attached
to a mobile device, while permitting simultaneous battery charging.
No software needs to be installed on the mobile device to use the LAVA product.
The mobile device’s Micro USB-B receptacle is connected to the LAVA product using a custom
cable provided by LAVA. An external power supply provides power for both the mobile device
and USB peripherals.
The core products are powered using a standard 5V USB power supply, such as the charging
brick supplied with the mobile device.
The “vc” products can operate from a 9 to 36 VDC unregulated power supply. This power option
is ideal in vehicle-based applications or any stand-alone unit running from a storage battery. In a
retail or business environment, this option permits the power brick to be placed a considerable
distance away from the product, while using a thin power cable.
The Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) products require a suitable Network Switch with PoE support. A
non-PoE Network Switch can use a PoE Power Injector for each port to operate with a LAVA
PoE capable product. A PoE Power Injector is a standard add-on available from many Network
Switch vendors.
Each member of the product family uses a pair of status LEDs.
The nLTS products only function with select Lenovo mobile devices. For a complete list of
tested tablets please check the compatibility list, which can be found using the link located on
each product page.
For mobile devices using a USB-C receptacle for data and power, please contact LAVA Sales or
Technical support.
