Setting Up FR210CS
IMPORTANT
Setting up
- Plug the AC cord into the power supply.
- Plug the AC plug into an outlet.
- Plug the power out lead from the power supply into the DC jack on at the back of FR2CS. Power indicator will illuminate green.
Using
To recharge the power bank (FR210PB), place it into the dedicated charging
station (FR210CS). The power bank will be recharged via the 12pin connector
the end of each unit. The Charging Station can hold and charge up to five
power banks (FR210PB) simultaneously.
Refer to the below table for charging times in relation to number of units
charging.
IMPORTANT
Setting up
-
Position and screw the Docking Station (FR210DS) into place on the underside of the workstation using 4qty 4G screw. There are 4 screw fixing locations on the underside of the Docking Station.
-
Connect compatible CMS products to the output ports on the rear of the unit.
Note: if you are using DC OUT 2 make sure the correct voltage is selected before plugging in compatible devices.
Using FR210DS
Slide the Power Bank (FR210PB) into the Docking Station (FR210DS) as shown.
You will hear an audible clicking sound when locked in. The power button on
the docking station may need to be pressed to power on the unit. All 4 LED’s
will illuminate when on to display charge level of docked power banks.
Multiple Power Banks can be stacked to
increase runtime as shown below.
IMPORTANT- Maximum Outputs
To disengage Power Bank(s) either press the push button release at the front
of the unit you wish to disengage or use the key and turn in a clockwise
direction. When released the Power Bank will spring out/forward slightly. Note
some force may be required when pressing push release button in.
The docking station (FR210DS) is capable of recharging the docked power bank(s) (FR210PB) via the 20V/7.5A DC IN JACK. The Recharge times will be slower compared to using the charging station (FR210CS). Note that when recharging all output ports will be disabled.
Refer to the below table for recharging times in relation to the number of docked power banks.
1 Unit Docked | 2 Units Docked | 3 Units Docked |
---|---|---|
3-4 hours | 6-7 hours | 8-9 hours |
IMPORTANT— Unboxing FR210PB will first need to be charged via FR210DS or FR210CS when first unpackaged. Refer ‘Using FR210CS’
The power bank (FR210PB) can recharge any USB C or USB A compatible device(s).
Simply plug in the device and the power bank will auto detect that a device
has been plugged in and power on. Four white LED’s will illuminate to indicate
the power banks charge level.
The power button can also be pressed to turn on the power bank and display
charge level. To turn off the power bank long press the power button for 10
seconds, the 4 LED’s will cycle through 3 times before turning off. As FR210PB
charges your device each LED will go out systematically until the power bank
is depleted.
The power bank connected to the devise(s) will become the main unit and will display charge level via 4 LED’s. The second unit will become the slave and LED’s will remain off.
IMPORTANT – Slave Unit If the slave unit power button is pressed in this setup the charge level displayed via 4 LED’s may not be correct.

Unit run time is low| The capacity left is low| Re-charge the power bank.
The working current of devices is larger.| Battery degradation over time/usage
Battery is close to end of life| Battery degradation over time/usage
Unit is Unresponsive| The Unit software is frozen/unresponsive| Press and hold
RESET button for 10 seconds (Rest Button located on the underside of the
unit).
FR210CS
Power Available LED not on| The unit may not be plugged in correctly| Check
that the unit is plugged in correctly and power point is active
FR210DS
4 LED’s Fast Flashing| The Over-current protection is
activated, for USB A or USB C port is
