Hardware Setup
Note:
a) Before you begin ensure the power switch on the USBDUP15 is set to the o
position.
b) The source or destination drives can be replaced with any SD/ SDHC/ Micro SD/
MMC/ Mini SD/ CF media card, using USB multimedia card reader (sold separately),
or Hard Drive(HDD) / Solid State Drive (SSD) through a Hard Drive docking station or
USB enclosure (sold separately).
1. Insert the source USB ash drive you would like to copy into the Source USB drive
port on the USBDUP15.
2. Insert up to 5 destination USB ash drives (that you would like to be over written
with the same data that is currently on the source drive) into the destination USB
drive ports.
WARNING! Any DATA on the destination USB Flash drives will be overwritten.
3. Connect the power adapter port on the USBDUP15 to an available power source
using the included Universal power adapter.

Hardware Operation
1. Copy
There are two types of copy modes, Asynchronous Copy and Synchronous Copy. The
system will check the content size of the source before executing the ‘copy’ function.
If the source content size is less than the system’s buer memory, it will automatically
start an Asynchronous copy. If the source content size is larger than the system’s buer
memory, it will copy in Synchronous mode.
1.1 Synchronous Copy
To congure, go to function “7.6 Asynchronous”and select “Disable”. If the source’s
content size is larger than system’s buer memory, it will execute Synchronous Copy
and ignore which copy mode has been set at function 7.6.
Operating Process
1. Plug in the source and destination Flash drive(s). Select the copy function and
press OK.
2. The copy will start automatically if two destination Flash drives are connected.
Otherwise, press OK to start the copy.

3. When the copy has completed, the LCD display will show the total time it took to
copy, the number of passes, and if there were any failures.
NOTE:
a) When the copy is in progress, the green LED will ash for each Flash drive that is
connected. When the copy has nished, the green LED will stop ashing and remain
illuminated. If an error occurs, the red LED will illuminate.
b) Do NOT remove the Flash drives while the system is copying (green LED is ashing).
You can cancel duplication by pressing ESC.
c) It is recommended that the source and destination are the same size. Copying to or
from a larger Flash drive may cause an error and the copy will fail.
d) If copying a Flash drive with NTFS or Linux le formats, the destination capacity
MUST BE equal or larger than the source’s capacity.
1.2 Asynchronous Copy
NOTE: This mode is enabled by default. The source’s content size must be smaller
than the system’s buer memory, otherwise the system will automatically duplicate in
Synchronous mode.
To enable Asynchronous mode, go to function “7.6 Asynchronous”, and select “Enable”.
Operating Process
1. Plug in the source Flash drive, and press OK. The system will start to read the
source’s content into the system’s buer. Once completed, it will immediately start
to copy once a destination Flash drive has been plugged in.

2. Once the copy has completed, the green LED will stop blinking. The destination
Flash drive can be removed and a new Flash drive inserted, then the copy will
automatically start again. The LCD display will show the accumulated quantity of the
successful/failed duplications and the drive that is still copying.
NOTE:
a) When the copy is in progress, the green LED will ash for each Flash drive that is
connected. When the copy has nished, the green LED will stop ashing and remain
illuminated. If an error occurs, the red LED will illuminate.
b) Do NOT remove the Flash drive while the system is copying (green LED is ashing).
c) Once the copy process has completed (green LED is solid), you can then take out
that Flash drive and insert a new one.
d) During an Asynchronous copy, you can press the up and down arrows to check each
Flash drive’s copy status and progress. This works both during a copy (green LED
ashing) and when there is an error (red LED solid).
2. Compare
Check the Flash drive after a copy has completed to ensure the copy has completed
successfully.
3. Copy + Compare
Automatically compares the Flash drive once the copy has completed.
