How Does a Tablet Computer Manage Heat?
To manage the heat stress of the battery, computer engineers include
sophisticated battery management functions in the design of the computers.
They can be found in two places: the external charger & internal to the tablet
computer itself. The transformer converts the alternating current from the
wall socket to a lower voltage direct current. Besides charging the tablet’s
battery these “adapters” can supply enough electricity to operate the tablet
and charge the battery simultaneously.
Deep inside the computer a dedicated microcircuit continuously monitors
and manages the charging current, voltage and temperature of the battery. If
the temperature of the battery exceeds limits, the microcircuit will stop
charging the battery until the temperature drops to acceptable levels
.
ELECTRICAL:
Avoid sparks. Avoid arcing
Always turn OFF the power to the cart before plugging IN or OUT!
ELECTRICAL:
For Safety Purposes, make sure all electrical components do not exceed the the maximum load rating of 12 amps.
ELECTRICAL:
Risk of electrical shock. Do not plug the power cord into another extension cord or relocatable power tap.
ELECTRICAL:
The power strips inside the tablet cart are only for charging tablet computers. Any other use may cause an
overload for the Power Management System, causing the
“
Power Manager
”
to shutdown. To reset the “Power Manager”, turn off the
main power switch, unplug the non-tablet device, then turn the main switch back on.
CAUTION:
Be sure each tablet computer is turned OFF before plugging into the cart..
CAUTION:
Do Not block the ventilation holes on the cart. Proper air flow is required for safe operation of equipment.
CAUTION:
Cart with computers should be kept in a room with a maximum temperature not to exceed 77° F or 25° C.
CAUTION:
Maximum weight of accessories on top of cabinet is 25 pounds.
CAUTION:
Avoid loading equipment in the cart in a uneven fashion. Uneven weight distribution could cause a hazardous condition.
Keeping the battery cooler while charging allows the battery to charge faster.
Laser-Cut ID Numbers
in both front & back help keep
computers and their cable sets in
the right place and make it easy to
identify if something is missing.
Power Manager
keeps the constant flow
of power from a single
wall outlet charging
batteries where needed.
Dual Handle Design
Allows both teachers and
students to push and pull
the cart easily and safely.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Organize Your Cords
•
Unpack the Tablet Computers, being careful to keep each computer with its matching cord set.
•
Remove the four steel panels that are hooked into the back of the cart and thread the Velcro straps through
the slots on the panel, tacky side out.
•
Bundle the cords and lay them on one side of the adapter leaving approximately 16” of the cord that plugs
into the computer and 3” of the cord that plugs into the power strip.
•
Place the bundled cord set between one of the Velcro straps and secure to the panel by running one end of
the strap through the buckle and cinching it tight against itself.
•
When all cord and adapter sets have been secured to a panel, lock it into the Divider Panel using the four
slots above each power strip.
•
Pass the cords through the holes in the divider and place them in the cable management channel above
each storage slot. Thread the end of the cord through the cut-out at end of the channel to hold it in place.
•
Plug the other end of the cord set into the outlet in the power strip directly below the panel.
You know from personal experience the value of keeping your closet neat and organized. You know exactly where everything is when you open the door. So Bretford developed a
“
closet
”
for the
cords and cables associated with the tablet computers.
•
Your MDM Tablet Cart has its own
“
Cable Clutter Closet
”
– a lockable compartment at the back of the cart especially designed to keep all the cables away from the computers and from
students retrieving the computers from the front of the cart.
•
The
“Desktop” Cord Management
system allows the IT Coordinator to organize the computer cord sets while seated at a table. No more bending or kneeling behind the cart!!
•
The interior
Divider Panel
separates the cart so that 75% of the cart is dedicated to the computers in the front and 25% is dedicated to cables and power adapters in the back. Holes in the
Divider Panel allow the computer connector cables to pass thru and be easily connected to the computers for charging.
•
By separating the computer from its power adapter, you minimize the amount of heat beside the computer battery, allowing it to charge at a lower temperature. Cooler temperatures allow the
battery to charge faster
.
•
The
Divider Panel
also protects your technology investment; even if access is gained through the back panel the computers in the front compartment are secure.
•
Comes with
Laser Cut ID Numbers
for quickly matching computers with their cord sets.
