INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: CHARGING
ROBOT AND OCU3 CHARGING
Your kit includes two chargers, one for the OCU and one for the robot. The robot and OCU3 both use USB Type C
connectivity for recharging. This enables them to charge from a variety of USB-based power sources. Charge rates will vary
based upon the charging source and cable used. For maximum charge rates, use a USB Type C charger that supports Power
Delivery 2.0 (or higher) capable of providing 9V @ 2A (18W) with the Throwbot® 2 robot and 15V @ 3A (45W) for the OCU3.
The included chargers and cables are rated for 9V @ 2A (18W). The Throwbot 2 robot and OCU3 do not support other
charging systems like Quick-Charge.
There is a charge indicator located on the front face of the robot and bottom of the OCU3 which is used to display the robot’s
state of charge. When charging with the device off, the background will ash. When the robot or OCU3 is operational and
charging, the charge indicator will have a solid black background. When the robot is operational, the state of charge is also
visible as an icon located in the lower left hand corner of the video stream, the OCU3 will have an icon in the lower right hand
corner of the video stream. The table below outlines the current state of charge for the robot or OCU3.
NOTE: When not charging or using
?? Tactical Interchange System ??,
ensure that the dust covers are in
place on the Throwbot(R) 2 Robot
and OCU3.
NOTE: Some generic chargers
and cables advertise more capability
than they actually provide. This could
result in damage to your equipment.
If you have questions about chargers
and charge cables, please contact
[e-mail] for a
list of tested and approved chargers
and cables or to purchase one from
