Power Delivery Guidelines
This section will deal with wall wiring, AC to DC work and power supplies
1.
Powerbox:
The Powermat Powerbox comes in two versions, a
120W
power supply and an
180W
power supply. The Powerbox provides the required power to the Charging Spots. The
uniqueness of the Powerbox is that it allows you to maintain your two socket power
outlet for other purposes, while providing the necessary DC power – up to 4 Charging
Spots on the 120W version and up to 8 Charging Spots on the 180W version. The
Powerbox also comes in a hard wired version. This is used when surface mounted
outlets are available, or to tap into a junction box.

Before you install
Make sure you use the correct Powerbox according to the number of the
Charging Spots planned for the table (if up to 4 – use 120W, if up to 8 – use
180W) and according to the power outlet (recessed – use the “blade” version,
wall mounted/junction box – use the “hard wired” version). The best way to see
the difference between 120W and 180W is by size (180W is bigger).

Installing Powerbox
Mount the back plate of the Powerbox to the wall:
i.
In case of a standard recessed outlet, (i) remove the plastic cover, (ii)
make sure the black pin is inserted to the “Ground” bottom socket
ii.
In case of a regular wall mount, cut the black pin and mount the plate
