Advanced Settings
Locked Manage Mode
For environments where the system is consistently being used in manage mode, it can be conveniently
configured to automatically start manage mode every time it is plugged in. In manage mode, the
system continuously monitors and distributes power until it is manually stopped. Devices can be
connected or disconnected at any point in the process without having to restart the charging cycle. If
devices are powered on or “sleeping” when connected, the system will charge the devices and then
maintain them at full charge.
When configured for “Locked Manage”, the buttons on the front
panel will no longer be functional, but will make a click sound, until the mode is turned off.
Installation
(For Stand-Alone Charging System Only)
Basic Functions
Charge Mode
Pressing the CHARGE button will start charge mode. Charging will
automatically stop when all batteries are 100% charged. You can also
stop charging at any time by pressing the CHARGE button a second
time. This is best used when all devices are powered down and returned
to the cart at the same time.
Manage Mode
Pressing the MANAGE button will start manage mode and turn on the
auxiliary power. This mode will continuously monitor and distribute
power until manually stopped. This mode is best used if some of the
devices may be left on when connected or if devices are connected at
different times. Press the manage button again to stop manage mode.
Auxiliary Power
Controls power to any peripherals that are connected to the
AUX power outlet in the back of the charger. If the AUX devices
must be operational during charging, then the system must be in
manage mode. Be aware that this may lengthen charging time.
Charging Status LED Indicators
Corresponds to the four charging outlets and indicates which sections
are active. The system controls this automatically.
As few as one and
as many as all four sections may be active at once.
When all four
LEDs are solid green, charging is complete.
Power Icon
Indicates when the system is connected to power and is ready.
Internal Circuit Breaker
The Intelligent Charging System is protected with its own circuit
breaker.
If it encounters misuse such as plugging in unsupported
devices or if there is a power surge, the breaker will trip and the
reset button will pop out.
To reset the system, simply press it back
in. Please ensure that everything is plugged in properly and that only
supported devices are connected before resetting.
Integrating With a Cart
The Intelligent Charging System can be integrated with nearly any cart that meets the following
conditions: The power strips in the cart (up to four) must be able to be disconnected from the
timer/switch that is currently in the cart, so that they can be diverted to connect directly with
the Intelligent Charging System. An existing auxiliary power strip may also be connected to the
appropriately labeled outlet on the Intelligent Charging System or an extra power strip may be
added for this purpose.

Installation Specifications
Installation procedures for the Intelligent Charging System vary depending on the environment
it is being used in.
For help or ideas for installation, contact JAR Systems directly.
To utilize
the included mounting bracket, it is recommended to use four #6 (.1380) self-drilling, tapping,
type CSD, cross-recessed pan head screws. The length required must be determined by the
surface that it is to be secured to. Be sure to leave enough space for the cables to extend from
the back (at least 3.5”).

Wiring Setup
Capacity
The Intelligent Charging System accommodates up to four power
strips with up to 16 outlets on each
(E),
as well as one auxiliary
power strip for peripheral devices. The charging outlets on the
back of the unit are labeled 1–4, corresponding to the numbered
LED indicators on the front of the unit. This allows the user to view
the charging status of each power strip.
To wire devices for charging:
1.
Plug in one or more power strips into the charging outlets in
the back of the unit
(F)
.
2.
Plug the devices’ manufacturer-supplied charging adapters
into the power strip(s).
3.
Plug the charging system’s main power cable into the power
connector in the back of the unit. Connect to the wall outlet
when ready to begin charging.
The Intelligent Charging System has been independently tested and certified for product safety.

WARNING:
Always install the Intelligent Charging System in a ventilated space.
WARNING:
Disconnect from power before connecting or disconnecting any cables.

Using the System with a Network Switch
A network switch can be used with the Intelligent Charging System by connecting it to the
auxiliary outlet. Pressing the MANAGE button once prepares all connected devices for remote
management. The system will keep the devices charged when they are turned on for management
via Wake-on-LAN. If the devices are not fully charged, wait 2–3 hours before starting remote
management. Press the MANAGE button a second time to stop manage mode and discontinue
power to the auxiliary outlet.

How to Set Locked Manage Mode
1.
Connect the Intelligent Charging System to a power source.
As it turns on, the system will beep, light up, and display the
firmware version for 2.5 seconds
(A)
.
2.
Press and hold the MANAGE button within the first 10 seconds
of power up
(B)
for 4 seconds until the system chirps. The LCD
display will show
A6,
meaning the locked manage mode has
been enabled successfully
(C)
.
3.
Unplug the system from its power source and then plug it back
in. The system will now automatically start in manage mode.
How it works: First, the system will evaluate the power draw of all
connected devices, then it will begin to distribute power as needed.
There may be as few as one or as many as four sections charging
at first. If the connected devices’ batteries are very drained, the
system may charge one section first until the charge of the batteries
is high enough to add additional devices. Eventually, all devices
will be receiving power.
