12/24Vdc USB cHARGERS
for mobiles and tablets – the safe
alternative for on boardPower
The widespread use of smartphones and computer tablets has created an increasing
need for user accessible, on the move charging systems. The PowerVerter USB
Chargers can be easily installed onto any vehicle and allow both drivers and
passengers to readily access power to charge any device connected via a USB lead.
This type of system has the distinct advantage of largely negating the need for
mains electricity on vehicles. The 5Volt DC power is much safer than mains, so
installation is quick and simple. Passengers can access the charging facility directly
and power their equipment simply through the USB charging lead which is supplied
with all such products.
All versions in the range can be connected directly to both 12Vdc and 24Vdc
systems without adjustment. The advanced electronic design will also automatically
detect if the device is an Apple or Android configuration and alter the charging
process accordingly. This ensures that whatever device is connected, be it Apple,
Android, iPad, phone or tablet, it will always be charged as fully as time and
capacity allow.
the range
The PowerVerter USB chargers are
available with either single or double
outputs. The USB1 design is ideal for
installation in dashboards, facia displays
or underneath bus seats and is retained
from behind with the threaded securing
ring provided. The USB2 provides the
same performance but is designed to be
stored out of the way with other wiring.
The USB3 design offers a slimline
alternative and requires only 20mm rear
space. This version is ideal for
installation into seat backs, armrests or
wherever space is an issue. Where rear
access is limited, a front fixing retaining
plate is supplied as an alternative. A
protective installation pod is also
available. This will accept both single
and double USB chargers and is ideal
for under seat installations on buses and
coaches as well as retrofit applications
where the vehicle is already in service.
warranty
Like all products, the USB chargers are
manufactured using rugged
components to provide years of service
in demanding commercial environments.
Due to the limitations of public use, the
guarantee on these products is limited
to three years.
CommerCial
installations
The PowerVerter USB chargers offer
an advanced design that effectively
counteracts the voltage drop common
when output currents vary as different
devices charge at different rates.
This avoids the common problem
of the phone or tablet indicating it
is charging when in fact very little
current is being supplied. They also
have an exceptionally low quiescent
current of less that 2mA meaning that
multiple devices can safely be installed
throughout buses and coaches without
materially discharging the battery.
They have been designed to meet the
rigorous standards required for on
board commercial vehicle applications
including BS EN50498 and ISO 7637-
2 and are both CE and E marked.
The casings are made from V0 rated
(self-extinguishing) high impact
polycarbonate and the electronic
assembly is predominantly by computer
controlled SMT for maximum reliability.
All versions have a subtle blue LED light
to highlight their location on the vehicle.
