Assembling the Station
Prepare the Chassis
A. Remove contents of the carton and separate the major components. Use the
T25H Torx key that is packaged with the manual to remove the security screw
and washer from the center of the tray lid and set them aside to be replaced
at the end of assembly. (AC stations only) Remove the contents from the tray.
B. Extend the sides of the chassis out at right angles and tighten the pre-
installed screws on corner of each side. Each side has one on the top and one
on the bottom (4 screws total). CS-1210 only:
The CS-1210 right panel is detached for shipping. Attach with 2 [B2] screws
and washers.
C. The supplied rubber feet [D4], [E5] can be optionally installed in the four
holes on the bottom side of the station beside the holes used for securing the
station to a horizontal surface.
Secure Chassis to a Wall or Desk (Optional)
D. If the station will be used on a table, desk, or countertop, it may be
optionally secured to the surface by inserting 4 screws appropriate for the
surface type through the bottom side of the chassis.
E. T o mount the station to a wall, use the supplied template as a guide for
your screw location on the wall. Other tools helpful to mounting include a
level, stud finder, and a pencil to mark mounting points over studs in the
wall.
WARNING: Failure to provide adequate structural strength for this
mounting system can result in serious personal injury or damage to equipment.
It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure the structure to which this
mounting system is attached can support five times the combined weight of all
equipment. Reinforce the structure as required before installing. The wall to
which the mount is being attached may have a maximum drywall thickness of 5/8”
(1.6cm). Always ensure that proper hardware is used for the wall surface type.
Never operate this mounting system if it is damaged. Contact JAR Systems for
replacement or repair.
Install the Power Strip (AC stations only)
F. Install the power strip in one of the following positions with [C3] 4
screws and nuts.
- Recommended for smaller devices.
- Recommended for most desktop usage.
- Alter nate position for desktop usage.
- Recommended for most wall-mount usage.
- Alter nate position for wall-mount usage.
G. If necessary, the power strip can be mounted on either the front (position
1) or back (position #2) by reversing the mounting brackets. Loosen the three
screws on each side, rotate the bracket, and replace the screws.
Mount the Tray to the Chassis
H. Pull out the sides of the chassis to the depth needed for your device. If
the sides will not slide out easily, loosen the pre-installed screws on the
sides. Note: To prevent unauthorized removal of devices, do not extend the
sides further than needed to fit the devices.
I. Rest the tray on the tabs near the front of the chassis. Insert 3 [B2]
screws with plastic washers through the chassis and into the tray on each side
of the station.
Install Rubber Bumper (Optional)
J. To protect your devices from hitting the back edge of the chassis, utilize
the supplied rubber bumper.
Install the Top Security Bar (Optional)
K. For security, place the top locking bar at the lowest height that will fit
over the devices. Use 2 [B2] screws on the top two holes on the outside. Open
the tray lid and prop it up by placing a security screw or the Torx wrench in
the side of the station.
Install 1 [A1] screw from the inside of the chassis to prevent removal, on
both sides.
Insert the Dividers into the Tray
L. Remove the pre-installed divider locks from under the shelf. Insert the
dividers into the slots on the shelf. Ensure that all dividers are properly
seated and re-install the divider locks beneath the shelf using 6 [A1] screws.
Install the Front Locking Arms (Optional)
M. For security, install the front locking arms using 2 [A1] screws on each
side. Screws for the locking arms should be installed from the inside of the
chassis to prevent removal.
N. Use the included padlock to secure the station by looping it through the
holes in the arms. Using the padlock in the “upside down” position may be
easier for some users. This step completes the setup for USB-C configurations.
Cable Management (AC stations only)
O. Open the tray lid and prop it up by placing a security screw or the Torx
wrench in the side of the station.
P. Deter mine the length of cable that is needed to reach from the tray to the
devices.
Q. Deter mine the best method of arranging the cables that come with your
device.
AC ADAPTERS FRONT TO BACK: Best for some wider adapters. AC ADAPTERS LEFT TO
RIGHT: Best for some narrower adapters.
TABLET (NO AC ADAPTER): Use
provided clips [F6] beneath shelf to secure cables in groups of 5-6.
TIP: Adapters can often be installed as they come bundled in the box. If the
cables are not bundled at all, twist ties or Velcro ties are helpful. If the
devices have larger AC adapters (5”x 2”x 1.25” or larger) the adapters will
fit snugly in the tray.
In this case it may be best to arrange most of the adapters as far back in the
tray as possible from left to right, flipping about half on their side.
Contact JAR Systems for additional assistance.
R. After AC adapters are arranged in the tray, plug them into the power strip.
For best results, bundle any excess cable length if it is not already.
S. (OPTIONAL) Secure the tray lid shut using the security screw and washer
that were removed in step A and the Torx key to prevent adapters from being
removed or tampered with. This step completes the setup for AC configurations.

stations can be upgraded to Quick-Sense USB-C charging. Contact JAR Systems
