2.Your PP15C at a glance

The PP15C has been designed primarily for desktop use, being highly compact and quiet. It

provides 10W of charging power to each of its 15 x USB 2.0 Type-A ports, allowing mobile

devices to be charged quickly, safely and reliably. All ports can be controlled using Cambrionix

software to enable charging whilst monitoring important port and device information.

The PP15C can charge attached USB devices without using a local computer, and our intelligent

charging algorithm allows almost any device to be charged at its optimum rate (up to 2.1A). The

firmware can be updated to enable new charging profiles to be added, ensuring the PP15C can

charge the latest devices. It is ready to charge out-of-the-box.

4.3.Connecting to the mains

Connect the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the hub using the 4-pin DIN plug. Connect the power

cable to the PSU. Making sure you adhere to local safety regulations, connect the power cable

to the 100 – 250 VAC mains power outlet and switch the hub on using the small power switch

located adjacent to the power input connector on the hub. When the device is switched on, a

red LED next to the power input will be illuminated. The hub is now ready to charge attached

devices.

Periodic inspections should be made to power supply cables and any USB cables for any signs of

damage. If any damage is found, replace the damaged cord before further use.

Please note that USB specifications require a minimum 100 mA charge current to be delivered

during data transfer. As indicated in above, if the attached device has a BC1.2 compliant CDP

port, the device can draw up to 2.1A while transferring data.

4.4.Charging

Your PP15C will allow your device to charge at the maximum rate possible up to 2.1A. The way

that charging takes place is the PP15C will provide the device with a capability to charge and

the devices USB charging controller will determine the maximum amount of charge it wants to

draw down.

4.5.Cables

Some USB cables are data transfer only, and some are power delivery only. There are also

options that can handle both tasks. Be sure to verify a cable’s abilities before purchasing it and

select a cable which can handle the speeds and power transfer that you require. We would

advice using the cable that was provided with the device to connect to our hubs.
