What is Wireless Charging:
Wireless charging, also known as wireless power transfer, provides the ability to charge a device without
charging cables. The Intentek™ System uses the Qi wireless charging standard which provides safe and
reliable wireless power transfer. The power is transferred from the Qi wireless transmitter to the Qi wireless
receiver via magnetic resonant induction.
The magnetic eld is generated in the transmitter
coils by a time-varying electric current.
This time-varying magnetic eld generates an
alternating electric current in the receiver coil
which is rectied and used to charge the battery.
The diagram below demonstrates this concept.

WPC, Qi and Qi Certication:
Qi (pronounced “chee”) is the predominant standard for wireless charging. The standard is governed
by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) which has more than 575 member companies. To date,
more than 500 million Qi enabled receivers have been shipped.
Qi Certied products have passed rigorous, independent laboratory tests for safety, interoperability,
energy eciency and quality. To be certied, they must work with all Qi wireless products regardless
of brand or manufacturer. Qi certication ensures that devices (the power receivers) and chargers
(the power transmitters) always work together for simple and easy charging.
Incorporation of Intentek™Wireless Charging Surfaces into Furniture Design:
Tips & Best Practices
Location of the charging zones will vary from project to project. The following points represent tips
and best practices that should be considered for placement of the charging zones only. Formica
Group is not responsible and assumes no liability for the design, engineering, installation, assembly
or structural integrity of the fabricated piece.
• Cavity for electronics module must be at least 1” from all edges of table/top.
• Blower direction can point up, down, left, or right (at 90, 180, 270, 360 degrees).
• Blower inlet and outlet cannot be covered by pedestal, leg, or other obstruction.
• When placing charging zones near each other, we recommend at least 11” is left between
center points of the charging icons. The electronic module casing must be at least 1” apart.
• When placing two electronics modules near each other, a blower inlet must be at least 8”
from another blower’s outlet. This rule is to be followed only if blower inlet and outlet are
designed to be near each other.
• If Intentek™System is going to be used in an enclosed counter (i.e. on top of a cabinet or
drawer), the enclosed space must be properly vented. Vent determination is the responsibility
of the furniture designer. Venting must be sucient to support the blower at 2CFM.
• Electronics module cannot be in direct contact with obstructions: edges, screws, pedestals/
legs.

Basic Installation Steps for Panel Lay-up and CNC Fabrication:
1. PANEL LAYUP
a) SUBSTRATE: Use industrial substrate suitable for HPL (high pressure laminate) bonding.
b) CLEAN: all surfaces of all materials including substrate, Intentek™Laminate sheet and backing
sheet to remove any debris which would cause telegraphing. Do not remove the 5”x5” masking
from charging zones on the back of the Intentek™ Laminate face sheet. If 5”x5” masking has been
removed accidently, add masking tape, that does not have too much tack, over contact pads be-
fore proceeding.
c) ADHESIVE: Apply adhesive to the substrate per adhesive manufacturer instructions for bonding
HPL (high pressure laminate). It is advised that a test is done to assure bond.
d) INTENTEK™LAMINATE FACE SHEET INDEXING: Using the marked reference edge, position
face sheet with a consistent ¼” (0.25”) overhang on the substrate length and consistent ¼” (0.25”)
overhang on the substrate width. Note: Face sheet must extend beyond the substrate and backer
edge to maintain the reference edge for the CNC operation.
e) INTENTEK™LAMINATE BACKER SHEET INDEXING: Position backer sheet aligned to the
substrate board edge. Backer must be aligned to the substrate edge and not overhang.
f) PROCESS OF BONDING: A heat tunnel with heated or cold nip rollers can be used or a con-
ventional hot or cold press. Regardless of the process, the face sheet indexing above must be
maintained as specied.
Backer should be ush with the substrate
Decorative Face Sheet overhangs substrate.
Keep 6’x6’ Masking in Place

PRE-PRODUCTION – Engineering and CNC Operations
a) ENGINEERING: Load cut le for the job into the CNC for cutting. Set machine to remove entire
cavity for checking depth measurement.
b) TEST MACHINING: It is recommended that a test piece of core is run, measured and dry tted
to ensure proper machining and t before processing.
c) IMPORTANT PARTS OF CAVITY:
a. Flange for heat sink
b. Blower screws recess area
c. Power board support ange
d. Structural support of area with exception of area cut out for contact pads
d) CAVITY PERIMETER CUT:
a. Formica Group requires using a perimeter cut for the contact pad area. MDF/Particleboard/
Plywood will be removed after CNC cut is complete. For this perimeter cut, we recommend to
use 1/4” or 3/8” bit.
B. Screw Recess
A. Flange (measured from top of ange to
bottom of cavity where contract pads are,
which is 13.31mm or .524 inch)
C. Powerboard Support
D. Structural Support

e) BOTTOM/UP CNC PROGRAMMING:
Formica Group understands that CNC programs dier. Formica Group will supply
CAD les that will have bottom/up measurements of the cavity. Our recommendation is to
cut cavity using a bottom/up measurement from the vacuum table. By doing this, CNC
machine will reference and cut to the deepest measurement of cavity, which is 2.3mm
(which will cut to the very back of the Intentek™ decorative face sheet). If CNC programming
requires Top/Down measurements, fabricator will need to adjust CNC Cut le.
f) OPTIONAL CONFIRMATOIN OF MEASURMENTS:
Prior to fabrication, should fabricator want to conrm that laminate measurements match
the CNC Cut le, do not measure from the decorative side where the charging icon is placed.
Center point measurements can be made from backside of laminate as shown below.
CAUTION: when measuring, do not use any tools that could damage the contact pad.
Note, the end with the double layer of contact pads is where the electronics blower oulet will be.
3. PRODUCTION - CNC Operations (Typical steps)
a) RESET CNC: Reset CNC program for cutting to do a perimeter cut of the deepest part of cavity
(the part where the contact pads are exposed). We do not recommend removal of material within this
area until after CNC operation is complete.
b) POSITION BOARD: Position the decorative laminate side of panel face down on the CNC table.
This end is where blower outlet will
be orientented
This is where the center point
is measured

TECHNICAL GUIDE, USE & CARE, WARRANTY, AND INSTALLATION GUIDE
c) ALIGN BOARD: Align reference edge of panel decorative laminate sheet to the CNC alignment
pins on the vacuum table prior to initiating the cutting operation.
d) WARNING: Machining must not contact the charging zone area contact pads which will im-
pact/defeat the performance of the end product.
e) RUN CNC: Run CNC program to make all cuts into the substrate, which may include:
a. the electronics cavity or cavities into the substrate
b. wire or adapter tracks
c. attachment holes for table legs

f) REMOVE CAVITY PIECE: When job is complete, remove cavity substrate piece (that was
created with the perimeter cut) from the cavity to reveal the contact pads. At this time, the 5”x5”
masking should also be removed.
g) CONFIRM CAVITY MEASUREMENT: Check to conrm the distance from the ange where
the heat sink will eventually be screwed in to the bottom of the cavity where the contact pads
are. This measurement should be 13.31 mm. (.524 inch)
h) CONFIRM FIT: Test t of heat sink to the cavity by placing into the cavity. Heat sink should not
rock side-to-side, but sit evenly in the cavity. Check to conrm the silver contact pads are visible
through the holes in the heat sink.
Heat shink should not
rock from side-to-side
Make sure all contact
pads are visbile

4. PRODUCTION
a) COMPLETE EDGING AS NEEDED: Table or counter should be edged as specied.
5. ELECTRONICS INSTALLATION
a) UNSCREW MODULE: Unscrew electronic module from heat sink cover. Retain screws for nal
assembly.
b) PEEL BLUE COAT: Peel o blue peel coat from the gap pad. Take care not to pull o the gray
gap pad.
c) ALIGN HEAT SINK: Align the heat sink in the cavity by visually centering the heat sink holes on
all of the silver contact pads.

d) PLACE 1ST SCREW IN HEAT SINK: Press the heat sink down and place initial screw - check
to conrm all contact pads are still visible through the holes in the heat sink.
e) SCREW IN HEAT SINK: Place the remaining three screws into heat sink and tighten.
Caution: Do not overtighten screws in the substrate.
f) CONNECT MULTIPLE CHARGING ZONES AS NEEDED: If design calls for multiple electron-
ics zones to be connected, follow instructions now that are found in the box on the next page.
If you are only installing one charge zone, skip to step g.
Wiring should be done before electronics module housing is attached in next step.
