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.

INTENTEK™ WIRELESS CHARGING SURFACE
WPC, QI AND QI CERTIFICATION
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
worktogether 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°, or 360°).
• 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 LAY-UP
1A) SUBSTRATE: Use industrial substrate suitable for HPL (high
pressure laminate) bonding.
1B) 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 before
proceeding.
1C) 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.
1D) 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.
Keep 6'x6' Masking in Place Do Not Layup Panel without Masking
*Corded/stranded wire is not recommended

FTB-0918 | Rev 2 | 6/20
TECHINCAL GUIDE USE & CARE, WARRANTY, AND INSTALLATON GUIDE
INTENTEK™ WIRELESS CHARGING SURFACE
1E) 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.
1F) PROCESS OF BONDING: A heat tunnel with heated or cold nip
rollers can be used or a conventional hot or cold press. Regardless
of the process, the face sheet indexing above must be maintained as
specied.
2. PRE-PRODUCTION: ENGINEERING & CNC OPERATIONS
2A) ENGINEERING: Load cut le for the job into the CNC for
cutting. Set machine to remove entire cavity for checking depth
measurement.
2B) 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.
2C) IMPORTANT PARTS OF CAVITY:
a. Flange for heat sink (measured from top of ange to bottom of
cavity where contract pads are, which is 13.31mm or .524 inch)
b. Blower screws recess area
c. Power board support ange
d. Structural support of area with exception of area cut out for
contact pads
2D) 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.
2E) 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.
2F) 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)
3A) 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.
3B) POSITION BOARD: Position the decorative laminate side of
panel face down on the CNC table.
3C) ALIGN BOARD: Position the decorative laminate side of Align
reference edge of panel decorative laminate sheet to the CNC
alignment pins on the vacuum table prior to initiating the cutting
operation.
3D) WARNING: Machining must not contact the charging zone area
contact pads which will impact/defeat the performance of the end
product.
3E) 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
3F) 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.
3G) 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)
This end is where
blower outlet will
be orientented
This is where the center
point is measured

3H) 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.
4. PRODUCTION
4A) COMPLETE EDGING AS NEEDED: Table or counter should be
edged as specied.
5. ELECTRONICS INSTALLATION
5A) UNSCREW MODULE: Unscrew electronic module from heat
sink cover. Retain screws for nal assembly.
5B) PEEL BLUE COAT: Peel o blue peel coat from the gap pad.
Take care not to pull o the gray gap pad.
5C) ALIGN HEAT SINK: Align the heat sink in the cavity by visually
centering the heat sink holes on all of the silver contact pads.
5D) 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.
5E) SCREW IN HEAT SINK: Place the remaining three screws into
heat sink and tighten. CAUTION: Do not overtighten screws in the
substrate.
5F) CONNECT MULTIPLE CHARGING ZONES AS NEEDED: If
design calls for multiple electronics 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 5G.
Wiring should be done before electronics module housing is
attached in next step.
