Introduction
The 12-Port USB 2.0 Type C Hi-Power Charging Hub is a solution for quick charging or sync up to 12 USB Type C devices.
This is a perfect tool to effectively save energy and cool down the unit’s heat. Also is ideal for large capacity USB station in-house
that enables charging and syncing at a time; automatically recharging once the devices connected have consumed their power
with remaining 90% (approximately) after fully charged. Places such as school’s classroom, businesses conference or meeting in
organizations.
Features
Supports Downstream Facing Port (DFP).
Compliant with USB Spec. 2.0 / USB Type C Spec 1.2 & USB Battery Charging Spec 1.2
Enables to provide up to 5V 3A output current on each port; Supports iOS, Android devices.
Extends up to optimum 48 USB Type C devices by connecting cascade port with another 3 units.
Enables Sync/Charge mode switching upon manually connecting or disconnecting host port.
Enables Green Energy function automatically shutdown the hub when all devices are fully charged at Charge mode.
Supports Over-Current Protection & Short Circuit Protection on each port.
For the Over Temperature Protection, if the unit’s high temperature is over the setting, it would cut off all the output current
immediately. At the meantime, the whole 12 ports LED would be green blinking.
Supports ±15kV (air), ±8kV (contact) ESD protection on each port.
Supports 40A (5/50ns) & Peak Pulse Power 45W (8/20 us) Surge and Transient spikes protection on each port.
The rear fans spec: SUNON Vapo DC Fan; Life Expectancy: 60,000 hours
Enables to start/cut off the fans automatically according to the temperature’s setup. If the board’s temperature is higher than
the setting, it would start the fans automatically. On the contrary, if the board’s temperature is lower from the setting, it would
turn off the fans automatically as well.
Specification
*Note: When the unit is working at sync mode, all the 12 ports LED illuminate orange all the time, no matter with Over current
protection or Short circuit protection.
When it detects there are 4 ports or more deliver current over 3.6A each port, the unit would enable Over Current Protection
immediately. All the 12 ports LED activate Red blinking and shutdown the unit power.

Charging & Syncing:
Please follow below ways for charging or syncing USB Type C devices.
(1) Follows the step of connection with host computer, and connects host computer with the unit.
This unit does not contain accessory set of cables for iPad, tablet. Please check with your distributor regarding of
using appropriate cable.
(2) Connect your USB Type C devices to the USB Type C ports on the hub.
Sync mode - As soon as the Type C Charging hub connects to a computer, turn the power on; the Type C charging
hub may charge and sync at a time either at single unit or cascade connecting.
Charge/Sync mode switching –
a. While the Type C Charging hub disconnects the computer, it will switch function to Charge mode. Re-connect the
computer and it will switch function to Sync mode again either at single unit or cascade connecting.
b. The hub will shutdown in 60 seconds at Green Energy function (the Green Energy button is pressed ON) if it idles
without devices connected. You may manually turn on the power switch either at single unit or cascade connecting
and start charging again.
c. Or you may re-connect to the computer to restart the charging hub and it will switch function to Sync (CDP mode)
again either at single unit or cascade connecting. (Make sure their power switches of the 2~4 hubs are turned at
‘ON’)
If all devices are fully charged at Charge mode, the Type C charging hub will shutdown automatically. You may
manually turn on the power switch or re-connect to the computer and start charging again.

Re-start the hub on cascade connections – If the 2~4 hubs are cascade connecting, you must turn their power
switches on for the 2~4 hubs. Once the 1st hub is disconnected to the computer, the 2~4 hubs will switch to Charge
mode and work on same function.
On the contrary; once the 1st hub is connected to the computer again, the 2~4 hubs will re-start and switch to Sync
mode, and work on same function. (Make sure all their power switches of the 2~4 hubs are turned at ‘ON’)
(3) The Green Energy function
When charging is at Charge mode; the Type C charging hub designed with the Green Energy function (push button at the
rear panel) may cut off the power when all the charging is finished.
Green energy ON: Button’s green LED illuminating. When all devices are fully charged, the Type C charging hub
will shutdown automatically. You may manually turn on the power switch or re-connect to the computer and start
charging again either at single unit or cascade connecting.
Green energy OFF: Button’s green LED lights off. When all devices are fully charged, the hub still keeps operating;
and the port LEDs keep green illuminating. Once it senses the device’s battery consumed, the hub starts
recharging.
Note 1.:
When the unit is working at sync mode, all the 12 ports LED illuminate orange all the time, no matter with Over current protection
or Short circuit protection.
When it detects there are 4 ports or more deliver current over 3.6A each port, the unit would enable Over Current Protection
immediately. All the 12 ports LED activate Red blinking and shutdown the unit power.
Note 2.:
The Charging hub can be used with iTunes & Apple Configurator for synchronization and management of iPads and other iOS
devices. For this and any other application (on Windows, Linux, etc.) the charging hub acts as a USB hub. While these
instructions are specific to iPads, virtually the same steps can be used for iPhones and iPod Touch devices.
Please note that the charging hub only serves as a pathway for communication between your devices and the computer.
Actual management and synchronization is handled by software or apps independent of this charging hub.
[ For host computer configuring iTunes ]
Please create a library folder on host computer for synchronizing and transfers data to iPad.
Recommends automatic updates in your iTunes preferences (to avoid interference with automatic syncing). Please
check for updates manually to keep your software up to date.
[ For iPad, tablet configuring ]
Ensure each iPad, tablet has been charged completely at first if the objective iPad, tablet is new goods.
Please use the unit to synchronize iPad, tablet one after another, and configure at same way. (Login name, ID, the data
you want to synchronize etc.)
The user may adjust the brightness of screen when you are using the unit to synchronize iPad.
When the user may be requested by iTunes to configure manually, you will have to copy the configuration manually for
each iPad.
[ For host computer connection & sync ]
Connect iPad, tablet to the USB Type C ports of front panel if each iPad, tablet is configured completely.
This unit does not contain accessory set of cables for iPad, tablet. It is especially important to use appropriate cables
(USB Type C to device-specific connector) provided by the device manufacturer.
Get started synchronizing automatically once you connect the unit.
It may take a little while for this unit to recognize and sync. Please do not stop by the way once the unit starts
synchronizing.
[ For iOS update ]
User may not perform the iPad update when iPad is connected. You must update iOS on iPad one after another.

Daisy-chain (Cascade) connection
The 12-Port Type C charging hub can extend another unit for Daisy-chain (Cascade) connection, the 2nd unit can sync
simultaneously as well.
Maximum 4 units can be connected. (It allows connecting or charging maximum up to 48 USB Type C devices
simultaneously.)
If user connects with two units, the 2nd unit may not be detected by some computers which have built in USB 3.0 hub.
(1) Follows the step of connection with host computer, and connects host computer with the 1st unit.
<Rear Panel>
(2) Turn off the power switch of the 2nd unit.

Additional info:
The 12-Port Type C Charging Hub may start/cut off the fans automatically when the unit temperature goes higher/lower limits.
(Not recommend putting the unit at places of high temperature such as computer facilities, boiler/steam room, glass workshop,
casting work, kiln plants etc.)
For the High-temp protection, if the unit’s heat is over the setting, it would cut off all of the output current immediately. At the
meantime, the whole LEDs of the 12 ports would be green blinking.
If you still cannot diagnose the problem, please call your distributor for technical support.
