Getting Started
Introduction
The Racks are designed to allow storage and charging of up to 60 mobile devices in a convenient and
semi-mobile rack. The Racks can be configured with a PPU module (not available in the US or Germany)
that protects both the users and the equipment from a range of electrical faults and incidents. The Racks
can also accommodate a network switch to allow for high-speed communication to the mobile devices.
NOTE: The product colors shown in this guide are used to clearly distinguish different elements only and
do not reflect the actual product colors.

Getting Started
Power Protection Unit (EU Only)
The PPU can be a vital element in ensuring the health of both users and the devices stored in the Rack.
The PPU is fitted with three distinct devices, namely a Residual Current Device (RCD), a Surge Arrestor
(SA) and an Inrush Current Limiter (ICL).
The RCD protects users of the Rack against electrical faults such as shorts caused by damaged cables.
etc. It does this by monitoring the incoming current and comparing it against the outgoing current. Any
imbalance greater than 30mA causes the RCD to “Trip” and cut the power to the Rack within 300 ms.
The Surge Arrestor is a device that quenches or dampens high voltage spikes that may be present on the
incoming Mains power supply. This can include lightning strikes or electrical “noise” generated by nearby
equipment such as heavy machinery. The SA includes several devices that combine to provide a
comprehensive protection device. As the SA is designed to absorb unwanted energy, it is subjected to
wear and tear which is displayed on the device as a change in color (see Troubleshooting on page 12 for
details about maintenance schedules and activities). The display starts out as green and slowly changes to
red as the internal components wear out.
The Inrush Current Limiter is designed to protect the incoming Mains supply from excessive current draw
which can occur when a large number of power supplies are switched on at the same time. In the case of
Rack Model 2, there could be up to thirteen power supplies. The ICL controls this by inserting a large
wattage resistor into the circuit for 0.5 seconds, thereafter the resistor is bypassed using a relay. By
slowing down the inrush current, this device prevents unwanted tripping of the building’s electrical
protection devices.
Warnings
Figure 2 PPU with Flap Raised
WARNING: Strictly adhere to the following warnings:
• HIGH TOUCH CURRENT EARTH CONNECTION IS ESSENTIAL BEFORE CONNECTING SUPPLY.
• HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT EARTH CONNECTION IS ESSENTIAL BEFORE CONNECTING
SUPPLY.
• This product is class I and requires an Earth connection. The supplied Mains lead must be used or if
replaced it must be of the same or higher rating and must have three conductors, Live, Neutral and
Earth.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the metal prongs of the plug when installing or removing the
plug to or from the Mains outlet.
• Failure to properly ground this equipment can cause electrocution or serious shock, particularly when
used near other metal objects such as plumbing or structural metal work such as mezzanine floor
supports.
• If the power cable is worn, cut or damaged in any way it must be replaced immediately to avoid shock
or fire hazard.
5
Page 10
• Before any installation or maintenance operations, ensure that the equipment has been turned off and
fully isolated. This may be achieved by switching off the Mains and then disconnecting the Mains plug
from the Mains outlet.
• Check that the installed power supplies do not exceed the stated maximum rating.
• Ensure that the rack is installed inside a building. The Rack must not be installed outdoors or in a
location where it is subject to weather conditions.
• The rack must be used with its operating specification, see Technical Specifications on page 11.
Recycling
All metal Rack components are 100% recyclable.
All packaging components are recyclable. The pallet and transit brackets can be retained should the rack
need to be moved. They can also be returned to the factory for re-use or recycle.
Please refer to local recycling facilities for plastic and rubber components.
Installing Rack
Getting Started
Rack Installation Location Considerations
Identify a suitable location for Rack installation. The location must include the following criteria:
• The floor must be level and flat.
• The Rack must be within range of a suitable power outlet, typically within 2 m (6 ft).
• The Rack must not be exposed to the elements. It must be installed in a building that is protected
from moisture and excessive temperatures, both high and low.
• Considerations based on the bottom of the Rack.
• If the feet are chosen, then these must be adjusted to ensure that the rack is vertical. Use a Level
to make sure that the rack is level.
• If the wheels are chosen, then the braked wheels must be placed into their locked position. To do
this, press the brake foot pedal until it clicks into place on both braked wheels.
Figure 3 Brake Foot Pedal
• If neither wheels nor feet are chosen, having a flat and level floor surface is especially important.

Installing the Power Supply Units
Installing the power supply units (PSU's) can be achieved with the shelves in position.
Figure 4 Rack Shelf Parts
For Rack Model 2, it is easier to install the shelves with one side of shelves removed to gain access to the
other side, as it is a doubled sided rack.
The process of installing the PSU’s can also be achieved with the shelves removed from the rack (only if
the shelves are not going to be networked). See PSU Installation on page 9 for instructions.
Adjusting Shelves
To adjust the shelf angle, remove the two off M5 nut and bolts from each side of the shelf pivot and adjust
the shelf to the required angle. The shelf can be adjusted from horizontal down to vertical in 10° steps.
Once the correct angle is achieved, replace and tighten the nut and bolts.
Removing Shelves
To remove a shelf:
1. Undo the Nyloc nut holding the earth bond wire (also called Ground wire) in place on the back of each
shelf. This is located on the rear of the shelf back plate on the end furthest from the power strip.
NOTE: Earth bonding is an optional feature that is only fitted where local regulations stipulate.
Figure 5 Earth Bond Strap
2. Remove the four large screws holding the shelf to the Rack. Repeat this process for the remaining
shelves on the same side. The rack should now only have one side populated with shelves.

Page 12
Network Installation
Installing the Network
If the cradles are to be networked (if not, proceed to PSU Installation on page 9), install them as follows:
1. Install the patch leads.
2. Remove the cable trunking lid and place to one side.
3. The network cable management tray is already fitted if the rack was ordered with this accessory. If not,
then fit it now in either of the two 1U locations at the top of the rack. The position of this plate
determines if the patch leads are managed above or below the Switch (based on preference).
The Network Switch is not provided as part of the Rack, but the top of the Rack is designed to take any
standard, 1U high, 19 in. rack mounted switch.
4. Plug the required number of patch leads into the switch and route them through the management plate
beneath (or above) the switch. The management plate has several pairs of small slots, these are to
allow the cables to be bunched and tied in place with cable ties.
The patch leads usually come in units of a meter or sometimes fractions of a meter. A variety of lengths
is required if every shelf is to be networked.
5. Feed the bunched cable from the management plate into the side of the trunking. If necessary, some of
the tabs of the trunking can be snapped or cut off to create a larger aperture through which to feed the
patch leads.
6. Taking the shortest lead first, feed it along the base of the topmost shelf (just below where the PSU is
mounted and next to where the excess DC power lead is stored) and out through the Network Cable
Aperture in the shelf backplate (see Figure 4 on page 7). To allow for easy installation of the cradle, a
length of approximately 100 mm should protrude through the aperture. Make sure that the excess cable
can easily be pushed back through the aperture once the cradle is connected.
Continue this process working down the rack. If the Rack is a Model 2, ensure you allow for the cables
that go to the shelves that have been removed. Use the patch leads already installed as a guide to how
much cable to leave free for each shelf.
7. Once all patch leads are installed, replace the trunking lid making sure all of the fingers snap back into
position.

PSU Installation
PSU Installation
Installing the DC Power Cable
To install the DC power cable:
1. Use the space beneath the PSU tray to store the excess cable. Allow enough cable at each end to
mate with the DC output side of the PSU and the DC input socket on the cradle.
2. Use the DC Cable Aperture hole in the shelf backplate (see Figure 4 on page 7) to pass the DC cable
through to mate with the cradle.
3. Place the PSU into the tray behind the front plate with the Mains connector nearest the power strip.
4. Connect the DC cable to the PSU ensuring the connector latches into place.
5. Plug the Mains lead into the AC input on the PSU and the other end into the power strip.
6. Repeat this process for all PSU’s on one side of the rack.
7. Once the first side of the rack is complete, the incoming Mains cable can be plugged in. Using the
appropriate regional specific Mains cable for the Rack’s location, plug it into the power strip (the
connector is approximately halfway up the power strip, near the LED indicator).
If the Rack is fitted with a PPU (Power Protection Unit), plug the Mains cable into the free plug coming
out of the PPU.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT plug the other end of the Mains lead into the wall socket yet.
Fitting the Mains cable now makes it easier to install and to work out the best path to route the cable to
the wall socket.
Fitting the Cradles
To fit the cradles:
1. Begin with the topmost cradle to ensure that the shelf beneath it is clear and allows for maximum
access to the underside of the shelf being worked on.
2. If the cradle is networked, plug the patch lead into the appropriate socket in the center of the cradle at
the rear. Note the polarity of the connector and the click of the latch when the plug is pushed home.
3. Plug the DC cable into the socket on the left-hand side (when viewed from the front) of the cradle, again
at the rear. This too is polarized and produces a click when the connector is pushed fully home.

Page 14
PSU Installation
NOTE: Do NOT force the connector, if it does not fit correctly then check the orientation and the pin
configuration.
4. Once the cables are plugged in, gently position the cradle onto the shelf, fitting the large aperture of the
keyhole slots over the fixed shoulder screws. Slide the cradle towards the front of the shelf until the
shoulder screws come to rest at the narrow end of the keyhole slots.
5. Fix the cradles in place using two M4 mm x 12 mm screws. These should only be tightened sufficiently
to grip the cradle and prevent it from moving.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT over-tighten the screws to prevent distorting the cradle and potentially damaging
the threaded inserts.
6. Once all the cradles are in place, the Mains connector can be plugged into a wall socket and switched
on.
• If the Rack does not have a PPU fitted, the cradles should immediately be active and a device
placed into any cradle slot to charge.
• If the rack is fitted with a PPU, then it might not immediately power the cradles on. If so, check that
the RCD is in the On position. The RCD can be found on the left-hand side of the PPU, lift the flap of
the PPU to expose the three components of the PPU. Lifting the flap of the PPU is safe as the live
terminals are behind the face plate. When the RCD is switched On, a small click sounds which is the
Inrush Current Limiter switching over to direct connection from its initial current limiting connection.
• If the cradles do not power on, see Troubleshooting on page 12.
• If the Rack still does not work, then a qualified electrician should inspect the wall socket and
electrical supply.
