The product’s mode of operation charges a mobile device battery to 100% as long as external
power is attached. This product supports Docking Detect, which ensures the mobile device enters
the correct state during a "hot connect” to the LAVA adapter.
The LAVA nLTS products require no mobile device software or configuration.
The mobile device’s Micro USB-B receptacle is connected to the nLTS product with a custom
cable provided by LAVA.
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, which drives both the mobile device and USB accessories. The PoE
capable products derive power from the network cable.
USB accessories can be attached at any time.
The products do not draw power from the mobile device if the external power is removed.
The attached USB accessories do not function when external power is removed.
Note:
If your use-case requires USB accessories to be operated with and without an external
power source, please contact LAVA Sales as other LAVA products not described in this
document are designed for this situation.
