AIR-KIT32 Open USB-C Charging Cart
Product Information: USB-C Charging Cart
The USB-C Charging Cart is a device used for charging multiple USB-C devices at once. It can charge devices up to 65W and has LED charging port indicator lights to show the level of charge. The cart is designed in the USA and made in China. The cart comes with two shelves, bay dividers, M5 security screws, two power cables, and a USB-C charging hub.
Product Usage Instructions
-
Open the USB-C Charging Cart.
-
Insert the bay dividers (C3) into the bottom shelf. See page 4 for bay configuration options.
-
Connect the short power cable (E5) from the top hub to the bottom hub. Connect external power cable to the back of the top hub.
-
Connect the cart to a power source by plugging the power cable into a standard 15A outlet. LEDs will illuminate white to indicate the cart is connected to a power source.
-
Power off devices fully before connecting them to the cart for charging.
-
Connect the devices to the USB-C charging cables. Ensure that devices are placed in the cart so that the charging ports are as close as possible to the USB-C charging port on the cart.
Incorrectly connecting devices can strain the cable over long periods of time and lead to damage. -
The system will automatically limit power consumption by turning some of the USB-C ports off temporarily. Refer to the device for the level of charge. Connected devices will charge as fast and evenly as possible, up to 65W, without drawing too much power.
-
To remove devices from the carts with the greatest level of charge first, disconnect devices with the green LEDs first before
you disconnect devices with the blue LEDs. -
Devices that do not feature a USB-C charging port can be charged using USB-C emulator cables. (Not Included, contact JAR Systems for more info)
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with the USB-C Charging Cart, follow the below troubleshooting steps:
- Always start troubleshooting with a simple reboot. Unplug and replug the power cord.
- Single Port or Device Issue: Check the back of the charging hub to see if the cart’s power cable is plugged in and connected correctly. Ensure that both of the USB-C cable ends plug into the cart and the device correctly. If there is still no charge, disconnect the device from that port (A) and plug into another port (B). If it is still not charging, it may be an issue with the device. If charging begins when using port (B), exchange the cable from port (B) to port (A). If it begins to charge, the cable (A) is defective and will need to be replaced.
- Entire Charging Hub/Shelf Issue: Ensure that the power cable connecting the top hub to the bottom hub is plugged in correctly. When the cart is powered back on, the LED lights will begin to illuminate.
Installation Instructions
Using the T25 Torx key (H8), loosen, but do not remove, the 2 security screws securing each shelf and the top USB-C charging hub to the side panels on each side of the cart (12 screws total). Install the USB-C hub (D4) below the bottom shelf OR below the top charging hub using 2 security screws (A1) on each side. Installing the hub below the top shelf provides top-down cables. Installing the hub below the bottom shelf provides extra space for larger devices. Fully tighten the 16 screws securing the shelves and hubs with the Torx key hand tool. 
- Insert the bay dividers (C3) into the bottom shelf. See page 4 for bay configuration options.
- Connect the short power cable (E5) from the top hub to the bottom hub. Connect external power cable to the back of the top hub.
Quick Start
- Connect cart to power source
- Plug in powered down devices
- Connected devices will automatically charge as efficiently as possible
- Connect/disconnect devices any time
LED Charging Port Indicator Lights
Normal Operation
- Plug the power cable into a standard 15A outlet. LEDs will illuminate white to indicate the cart is connected to a power source.
- Power off devices fully before connecting them to the cart for charging.
- Connect the devices to the USB-C charging cables. Ensure that devices are placed in the cart so that the charging ports are as close as possible to the USB-C charging port on the cart. Incorrectly connecting devices can strain the cable over long periods of time and lead to damage.
- You may hear a clicking sound, and the LED lights will change color according to the power draw of the attached devices.
- The system will automatically limit power consumption by turning some of the USB-C ports off temporarily. Refer to the device for the level of charge. Connected devices will charge as fast and evenly as possible, up to 65W, without drawing too much power.
- To remove devices from the carts with the greatest level of charge first, disconnect devices with the green LEDs first before you disconnect devices with the blue LEDs.
- Devices that do not feature a USB-C charging port can be charged using USB-C emulator cables.

Trouble-Shooting
Always start troubleshooting with a simple reboot
Unplug and replug the power cord. When the cart is connected to power, the
LEDs will change color based on the power draw of connected devices (see light
indication).
Single Port or Device Issue
Ensure that both of the USB-C cable ends plug into the cart and the device
correctly.
If there is still no charge, disconnect the device from that port (A) and plug
into another port (B). If it is still not charging, it may be an issue with
the device.
If charging begins when using port (B), exchange the cable from port (B) to
port (A). If it begins to charge, the cable (A) is defective and will need to
be replaced.
Entire Charging Hub/Shelf Issue
Check the back of the charging hub to see if the cart’s power cable is plugged
in and connected correctly.
MC-4032-AIR ONLY: Ensure that the power cable connecting the top hub to the
bottom hub is plugged in correctly.
When the cart is powered back on, the LED lights will begin to illuminate.
Remove/Replace USB-C Cables
Each cable lock may be secured with up to three screws. Remove all screws with
the supplied Torx key. Remove the cable lock. Unplug the cables from the USB-C
ports and route them through the cable track. Reverse the process to replace a
cable.
Adjusting Device Bay Dividers
Elevate carts feature adjustable device bays with multiple configuration
options. Use the guides below to determine which hole pattern to use.
To remove dividers, push in and upward on the front of the divider and guide
it out of the slot in the tray. To install the dividers, simply place the tall
side of the divider into the rear slot first, then push in and downward to get
