2.2 Connecting to the mains
Connect the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the
MultiCharger using the 4-pin DIN plug.
Connect the mains cable to the PSU. Making sure
you adhere to local safety regulations, connect
the mains cable to the 100 – 250 Vac mains power
outlet and switch the MultiCharger on using the
small power switch located adjacent to the power
input connector on the MultiCharger. When the
device is switched on, a red LED will be illuminated.
The MultiCharger is now ready to charge attached
devices.
3 Charging
The MC Range has been designed to charge certain
devices using pre-determined charge profiles.
These are:
• MC16-1.5 – generic charging profile for BC1.2
compliant devices capable of charging at 1.5 A
• MC16-2.1 – 2.1 amp Apple charging profile
• MC14-2.4 – 2.4 amp Apple charging profile
If you intend using either the 2.1 or 2.4 MC products
for charging non-Apple devices, you should verify
whether or not the devices charge properly using
an Apple charger of the equivalent power before
purchasing the MC unit.
Assuming the unit is correct for your charging
needs, simply connect the devices to be charged
to any of the available 15 ports (not the Host Port)
using USB2.0-compliant cables and charging will
commence.
