POWERVERTER Pro
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 detect the charge
status of the device 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 range has been
completely re-designed for 2016 to
include a standard design that can
be used in regular as well as slim-line
installations. Aesthetically the design
has been improved with a dark grey
body and contrasting light grey ring as
well as an attractive and more obvious
LED indicator. This helps to draw
attention to the unit and encourages
use. Part numbers are: PVPro-S for
a single output and PVPro-D for a
doubleoutput.
The front fitting system has also been
improved with a round bezel with
tamperproof covering ring to hide the
screws, yet will still allow the unit to be
replaced quickly and easily should this
be required. Part numbers are: PVPro-
SFf (single output) and PVPro-DFf
(double output).
Electronically, the design now includes
automatic short circuit detection, so in
the event of tampering or compromise,
the unit will automatically shut down,
then re-start again once the fault has
been removed.
A charger only version is also available
for permanent, behind the scenes
installations without customer interface.
Part number is: PV-USB2. The range is
completed with our ‘Pod’. This is ideal
for retrofit installations and is designed
to fit underneath the seat in front. This
system can also be bought as a
complete assembly including; PVPro
USB charger, pod and 1.2m of fused
cable. Please order part numbers;
PVPro-S-Assy (single) and PVPro-D-
Assy (double).
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.

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.
