SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The USBT202 Series High Power USB Charging Port is a power accessory that converts 10 to 32 volts of
DC electrical input from a power supply to standard 5 volt power for any electronic product that charges
using a USB connector. The USBT202 provides one or two Universal Serial Bus-A or C (USB-A or USB­C) ports and can be rear mounted or front mounted in a variety of locations throughout a vehicle. The new
“Type-C” USB port design is a smaller port that accommodates the latest consumer electronic devices on
the market. Among other features, the Type-C connector accepts reversible cable plugging with no ‘up’ or
‘down’ requirement for cable orientation. The unit has been rigorously tested, providing confidence and
allowing installation in the cockpit or cabin.

This High Power USB Charging Port is designed as a DCP (Dedicated Charging Port) to industry-standard
protocol per the USB Battery Charging 1.2 Compliance Plan. It also complies with the higher power
requirements of USB Power Delivery 2.0. Newer electronics, such as the Apple iPad®, other tablets and
larger devices can accept or may require 2.1 amps or more to charge and operate. As a high power DCP,
the USBT202 can provide up to 3.0 amps of power to charge USB devices, including the higher demand
products. Most dual USB chargers typically provide 1.0 amp on one port and 2.1 amps on the second
port, but the USBT202 can provide 3.0 amps to both ports simultaneously (for dual port units). The unit
has built-in protections for short circuit, over-current, and low voltage conditions. It is designed to protect
against reverse polarity installation and has temperature monitoring and shutdown capability, allowing the
unit to handle unforeseen conditions safely.

Small, compact and powerful, with plenty of installation flexibility, the USBT202 is an ideal choice as a
highly useful and effective addition to any vehicle.

SECTION 2 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

2.1 COOLING

No external cooling is required. The unit will become warm when in use. This is normal and within
operational parameters. No special mounting considerations are required; however, mounting to a metal
surface can help dissipate any heat generated and extend the life of the product.

2.2 EQUIPMENT LOCATION

The USBT202 High Power USB Charging Port is designed for mounting flexibility, allowing for installation
in the cockpit or in the cabin. It is designed for panel mounting and can be installed in a rectangular
configuration or, with an available installation kit, can be front mounted with a cosmetic cover plate. An
instrument mounting adapter bracket is also available to easily mount the unit in a standard 2.25 inch
round instrument opening that may already exist in the cockpit panel. There are two versions to choose
from which allow the input connector to be located either on the rear of the unit or from the bottom.

The unit can be mounted in any orientation. Clearance should be provided for the mating connector which
may require an additional inch beyond the rear of the unit.

2.3 ROUTING OF CABLES

Avoid sharp bends in cabling and routing near control cables. Avoid close proximity and contact with
vehicle structures, equipment or other obstructions that could chafe wires during operation and cause
undesirable effects.

2.4 LIMITATIONS

The USB Type-C interface is an exciting new connector for electronic devices. Beyond the physical format
of the Type-C connector, it also allows for a variety of interface options when communicating with
compatible devices. This device-to-charger communication is defined within the USB 3.1 Specification and
Power Delivery 2.0 standards. However, manufacturers of consumer electronic devices and/or cables may
