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 FR210CS
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.
5 Units | 3 Units | 1 Units |
---|---|---|
9-10 hours | 6-7 hours | 2-3 hours |
A white
LED will flash to indicate the power bank is recharging. As the unit charges
the additional LED(s) will remain on until all four LEDs are on constantly.
Setting Up FR210DS
IMPORTANT
Setting up
-
Position and screw the Docking Station (FR210DS) into place on the underside of the workstatior 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.
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 Powe’ Bank will spring out/forward slightly. Note
some force may be required when pressing push release button in.
IMPORTANT- Maximum Outputs
The maximum available output of FR210DS with 1 Power Bank (FR210PB) docked is
150W between all output ports. Maximum output is increased to 300W with 2 or
more Power Banks (FR210PB) docked. (350W for 1-2 minutes continues to operate
sit to stand desk)
As FR210DS operates each LED will go out systematically until the docked power
bank(s) are depleted.
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 |
Using FR210PB
IMPORTANT- Unboxing
FR210PB will first need to be charged via
FR210DS or FR210CS when first urpackaged.
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
total capacity of FR210PB can be increased to drastically increase runtimes.
This is useful for high powered laptops. Simply slide the second unit into
place. You will hear an audible click sound when the units are securely
connected.
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.
User Maintenance Instructions
Important — Cleaning
When cleaning FR210PB, FR210CS & FR210DS do not spray cleaner directly onto
unit. Spray onto cloth and wipe down the unit. Only spray enough cleaner that
the cloth is just damp to the touch. When cleaning FR210CS or FR210DS
disconnect from mains power before wiping down. Do not spray cleaner directly
onto unit. Spray onto cloth and wipe down the unit. Only spray enough cleaner
that the cloth is just damp to the touch.
Moving & Storage Instructions
