WORLD AUTOMION TE072A808 DCRF Device Charge and Recognition Fixture User Manual
Revision History
Overview
The Device Charge & Recognition Fixture (DCRF) is a fixture designed for charging and recognizing compatible wireless devices.
The fixture consists of 6 wireless Qi chargers, 6 NFC readers and LED lights that are interconnected and controlled through a USB HUB and USB Relay and powered via an internal power supply. The fixture is designed so that six devices can be placed into it at any given time.
The DCRF does not have an internal CPU, memory or embedded software of any kind. It must be connected to a computer to be controlled via USB with custom software to achieve customer demands.

Service
The DCRF is designed to be serviced on a module-by-module basis; this to help
keep the fixture in service even if the centering mechanism, NFC reader, or
charger are broken on an individual module. If internal components are broken,
it may require further service and electrical work.

Use Guide
Before Applying Power
Verify wall power is 110 or 220V
Verify the power cable is certified, in good condition, not frayed or torn.
If a power strip is used, ensure it is certified, in good condition, not
frayed or torn.
Verify the USB cable is certified, in good condition, not frayed or torn.
Regular Operation & Device Compatibility
Operation of the fixture with wireless devices for charging & recognition is
to be controlled by an external computer and software to meet customer’s
unique demands.
Coil-Coil Perpendicular Distance
The use of an off-the-shelf wireless charger leads to a minimum and maximum
distance between the coil of the wireless charger and the charging coil of the
device. This range has been tested to work between 11-17 mm. A plate is built
into the fixture of a thickness of 9.2 mm to help bring in scope a variety of
devices. This means that devices must be between 1.8 – 7.8 mm from the mid plate for use in the DCRF.
Coil-Coil Radial Distance
The lateral distance between the charger coil and the device coil must be <4
mm for reliable charging.
This makes the charge zone effectively a 4mm diameter from the charger coil
center.
SAFETY WARNING:
Do not place any conductive materials in a 50 mm diameter zone around the
charger coil center.
Placement of any conductive material in this zone may result in non-functional
charging, over-heating or fire safety risks.
Box Compatibility
If tested and approved by the end customer, some wireless devices may be placed into the fixture while inside of their packaging boxes. The device charging coil must still meet the coil-coil perpendicular and lateral distance requirements and the box must not contain any conductive materials between the device and the charging coil.
Any box in the size range provided below will be centered by the mechanism built into each module. Do not exceed the maximum recommended box size dimensions.
Shipping & Handling
Ensure the fixture is stabilized during shipping or transportation so that it
is not bouncing, shaking or sliding around. Use vendor approved and tested
packaging for any transport.
Always use the handles on the left and right side of the fixture to lift and
transport the fixture. Do not attempt to lift the fixture using just one
handle.
Keep the fixture level when lifting and moving during setup.
Environmental Requirements
-
Indoor use only in air conditioned lab, office, store or warehouse environments.
-
The fixture can be left in standby mode indefinitely but should be Powered OFF at the end of every shift, when it is to be left alone and or unsupervised for prolonged periods of time.
-
Temperature Range:
1. Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
2. Non-operating temperature: −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C) -
Relative Humidity Range: 5% to 95% noncondensing
-
Any and all liquids, hazardous, flammable or not, should be kept at a distance and never allowed to touch or enter the fixture to prevent contamination, corrosion or potential for electrical shorts
-
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes
-
The fixture should be used in an environment with adequate ventilation where no flammable vapor- air or gas air is present. Adequate ventilation is defined as ventilation (natural or artificial) that is sufficient to prevent the accumulation of significant quantities of vapor-air or gas-air mixtures in concentration above 25% of their lower flammable (explosive) limit, LFL (LEL)
Storage
When the fixture is not in use, pack properly and store in a controlled environment.
- Indoor temperature −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C)
- Indoor Relative Humidity Range: 5% to 95% noncondensing
- Do not store in direct sunlight
- Keep away from water, oils and other liquids
- Keep away from areas containing volatile components or corrosive gases
- Store in a dust-free place.
- Avoid subjecting the fixture to regular vibration shocks above 0.5G.
Cleaning
The fixture’s outer surfaces may be cleaned as follows:
- Power OFF the fixture
- Allow fixture to cool down to room temperature (minimum 15 minutes).
- Clean with lint free wipes
- Do not use compressed air or vacuums to clean internally.
- Do not use liquid or sprays of any kind.
Maintenance and Malfunction
This fixture does not require regular maintenance from the technician.
If the operator encounters any malfunction, broken parts or components,
discontinue use immediately, power the fixture off, unplug and notify
management and or engineering staff.
If the operator encounters any unexpected electrical behavior such as
unintended power cycling (on/off), power drops as evidenced by changes to
fixture lighting, fans, sounds, sparking or malodor, discontinue use
immediately, power the fixture off, unplug and notify management and or
engineering staff.
If any other abnormal issues are encountered, discontinue use immediately, power the fixture off, unplug and notify management and or engineering staff.
Service and Repair
Do not remove any panels or covers of the fixture. Technicians or
operators must not remove any protective or enclosure panels on the fixture,
or disassemble any other parts of the fixture.
This fixture is not designed to be serviceable by end users. Component
replacement and / or internal adjustment should only be performed by
authorized service personnel / engineering staff. Service by
Authorized Personnel
The fixture is designed to have swappable modules and can accommodate more
complicated repairs such as component replacements, wiring fixes, etc. The
most basic servicing for the fixture is the module swap.
Module Swap
A module composes of the centering mechanism, NFC reader, and Qi Charger. If any of these components fail, it is best to swap out a whole module and then diagnose which part has an issue and repair if possible.
Swapping a module requires the following steps:
- Unplug back of fixture from power and USB
- Remove back panel screws (4x)
- Unplug NFC reader from USB HUB associated with that slot
- Remove front panel screws (10x)
- Remove module retention screws (2x)
- While removing the module, string NFC reader USB cable through mid plate of fixture and unplug power cable from the Qi charger
- Acquire new module
- Plug in power cable from the Qi charger
- Route NFC USB cable through the back hole
- Plug in NFC USB cable into the correct USB port
- Slide module such that it sits flat in the fixture
- Install both module retention screws (2x)
- Install front panel screws (10x)
- Install back panel screws (4x)
