MANAGE MODECHARGE MODE

Basic Functions
Charge Button
Pressing the CHARGE button will start charge mode. This is best used
when all devices are powered down and returned to the cart at the
same time. 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.
Manage Button
Pressing 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 button again to stop manage mode.
Auxiliary Power Button
Controls power to any peripherals that are plugged into the
AUX power strip in the back of the cart. 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 Port LEDs
Indicates which sections of the cart are active. The charging unit
controls this automatically, ensuring that all devices inside are
charged in the fastest, most efficient way possible. When all four
quadrant LEDs are solid green, charging is complete.
Power Icon
Indicates when the cart is connected to power and is ready.
Reset Button
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 circuit will trip and the
reset button will pop out. To reset the cart simply press it back in.
Please first ensure that everything is plugged in properly and that
only supported devices are connected before resetting.

How to Set Automatic Manage Mode
First, enter the configuration mode:
The AUX button must be held down for at least four seconds. This
must be done immediately after power-up. To indicate we are in
configuration mode, a beep will be heard (A), the power icon will
change from solid blue to flashing orange. The LED display will
also display the current version number of the firmware.
While in this mode the default power mode can be changed.
To do so, press and hold the AUX button again until the beep is
heard, while still holding the AUX button, press and release the
manage button (B). The power icon will now flash very fast and the
LED display will show the current configuration mode. The display
will show one of the following:
1. oFF This indicates the auto power-up modes are off.
2. AC This indicates that the auto charge is enabled on power-up
3. A6 This indicates that the auto manage is enabled on power-up
Now each time the manage button is pressed, the display will cycle
through the three settings. Once the desired mode is reached,
press and hold the charge button until the beep is heard (C). The
power icon will now be flashing a the original slow rate and the
LED display will show CF6. This indicates the system has returned
to the main configuration state and the power-up configuration
has been saved.
To exit the configuration mode:
Press and hold both the AUX and charge buttons (D). The unit
will now return to normal operation. The power icon will return
to a solid blue.

Installation
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 you will need four #6 (.1380) pan head self-drilling tapping screws
type CSD, cross-recess. 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”).
Always install the Intelligent Charging System in a ventilated space.

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.

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.
