Health & Safety:

Read the Health & Safety section

1. Remove the rear door as described in Getting Started.

2. You will find power strips for your AC adaptors in the back; plug your AC adaptor into a plug socket and load the AC adaptor block onto the relevant shelf.

   

3. Some AC adaptors can be described as ‘in-plug’ where they plug directly into a socket and the charging lead goes directly to the device, and others can be described as ‘in-line’ where they have a mains lead between the power socket and the AC adaptor and then a charging lead going to the device.

   • For ‘in-plug’ AC adaptors simply pass the charging lead onto a shelf. 

   • If you are using ‘in-line’ AC adaptors you have the choice to pass the mains onto the shelf and place the adaptor on the shelf with your devices or to leave the AC adaptor in the rear compartment and just pass the charging lead onto the shelf.
4. We provide both cable ties and cable clips to help with cable management and we recommend that the charging lead is secured to the shelf in a suitable position in order to prevent it ‘working’ its way off the shelf.

USB-C Smart Charging

Please ensure the cabinet is unplugged when you are connecting USB-C charging leads in the ChargeLite™ 

1. Remove the rear door as described in Getting Started

2. You will find the USB-C power bank(s) installed vertically in the back (If you have a ChargeLite™ 32, there are two USB-C power banks installed in a layered position. 

   

3. There will be USB-C to USB-C charging leads provided in boxes inside the rear service area of the unit. Remove the cables from the packaging.

   

4. Unpack the cable clips

   

5. Install the white cable clips into the bays by pushing them into the holes provided at the front of the shelves. different positions are available at the sides and centre of the locker bays. 

6. Plug the straight USB-C connectors into the the power banks, leaving the right angled connectors available to connect the devices too. 

   • Be careful to plug in the charging leads in order starting from the top. The ports on the power bank are numbered and correspond with the charge status displays on the front of the unit. 
   • If your trolley has two power banks installed, start with the innermost power bank. This will have ports for bays 1-16. The outermost power bank has ports for bays 17-32

   

7. Thread the cables through the mounting bracket onto the shelves. Then thread them through the white clips you placed previously

   • These clips hold the cables in place and stop the leads from being pushed off the shelf. 

     

8. Plug the devices in. Check that the LED display turns on when the device is plugged in. 
   • There is a charge status indicator bar with a series of LED lights located above the door(s) of the ChargeLite™. The LED's on this bar should turn on and display the following:
     • The LED is turned off when no device is plugged in/charging
     • The LED is red when the device is charging
     • The LED is green when the device is fully charged or near full charge. 
   • The USB-C charging cables also have LEDs at the ends of the USB-C connectors
     • The LED on the USB-C charge cable is red when the device is charging
     • The LED on the charge cable is blue when the device is fully charged

Power Management Cassette

The power management cassette in the top of your ChargeLite™ Trolley may get warm when it is handling a significant electrical load for a period of time and this, in turn, may make the top of the locker feel warm to the touch.
This is completely normal and will cool down when the power demand reduces.

Thermal Trip

In the United Kingdom the detachable mains lead carries a fuse for the protection of users.
In the event that your ChargeLite™ Trolley has been installed with no wall plug the power management cassette also has a resettable thermal trip. This trip acts in much the same way as a fuse to protect users and it can be re-set. The thermal trip is mounted on the back edge of the power management cassette in the top of the side compartment.
When the trip has operated there will be no power to the sockets and the centre button of the trip will be extend by approximately 12mm.

In the event of a trip:

1. First switch off the power supply and then check if the reason for the tripping is apparent and If possible correct the issue.
2. Allow at least 60 seconds after it has tripped and do not reset the trip with the mains power switched on.
3. Press the centre of the button back into the trip. When re-set the button will stay pressed in when you release your finger.
4. Restore power to the power cassette and check that the trip remains set.
5. If the trip operates again you should first switch off the mains and then switch off or unplug everything in the locker sockets.
6. Re-set the trip (items 2 and 3 above)
7. Restore power to the power cassette and check that the trip remains set.
8. Then, one by one, re-plug everything into the locker sockets, switch on and check that the trip remains set.
   If the trip will not re-set or it continues to trip, there may still be a fault somewhere or the trip may have developed a fault. Please contact Support on 0800 130 3456 or support@lapsafe.com

Moving Your trolley

Your ChargeLite™ trolley should always be moved with care and should only be moved by two competent adults or authorised persons.

Before Moving The Trolley:

The following checks and actions should be carried out, irrespective of the distance travelled:

• Check that the power has been turned off at the wall socket.
• Carefully disconnect the mains power lead from the back of the trolley and from the wall socket placing the power lead in the cable tidy located on the rear door of the trolley.
• Check that any network cable (Cat5) has been disconnected from the back of the trolley.
• Ensure that all of the trolley doors are securely closed and locked, and that all keys have been removed.
• Disengage wheel brakes using the foot operated pedals before moving the trolley.
• Special care should be taken on inclines.

At the new location:

• Ensure that all wheel brakes are applied using foot operated pedals
• Never position the trolley in front of any fire exit or fire escape routes
• Never position the trolley in the view of any windows for security

Timer

ChargeLite Trolleys now have a plug in timer included as standard. This allows you to set active usage periods for the trolley, and not use excess power when not in use. You can locate this on the top AC adapter block. Please remove this, plug the timer into the wall and then plug the trolley charging lead into the timer.

 

View the timer user manual here

On initial delivery of your laptop trolley, the LCD display on the timer may not be illuminated. This is because the timer needs time to charge before use. It is recommended to charge the timer for 14 hours after the initial installation to charge the memory back-up battery. 

Note: On older models, the timer was offered as an additional option. 

On older ChargeLite™ trolleys, the timer can be found located behind an oval plate on the rear of the unit.

Care & Maintenance

DO:

• Lock your trolley when not in use
• Keep your keys in a safe place and not in the same room as the trolley
• Read the Health and Safety guidelines in the user guide and share this information with all users
• Activate your warranty
• Unplug charging leads before taking laptops out of the trolley

DO NOT:

• Do not move the trolley without disconnecting the mains power
• Do not move the trolley with the mains lead trailing, use the cable tidy
• Do not leave keys in the doors locks when moving the trolley
• Do not remove doors
• Do not leave trolleys in the view of a window for security
• Do not try to modify the trolley in anyway without contacting LapSafe® first to check that it is safe to do so. If you have any queries, please contact us through any means below in the Useful Links section. 

Cleaning

DO:

• Your ChargeLite™ Trolley has a powder coat finish which is very durable and can be wiped clean using a mildly soapy cloth.
• To remove more stubborn marks or perhaps an adhesive residue you can use a gentle solvent such as white spirit or a mild solvent-based cleaner.

DO NOT:

• Do not soak any areas of the trolley
• Do not get the power cassette or the trolley sockets wet
• Do not soak any area with solvent
• Do not use solvent cleaners on the locks

Disconnecting your Unit from the Mains Supply

Your ChargeLite™ unit is connected to the mains supply via a mains lead. There is an IEC connector at one end (plugs into the unit), and a 13amp mains plug at the other (plugs into the wall mains outlet).

Before carrying out any cleaning, accessing the service area, or moving a mobile unit from one location to the next, disconnect the mains power.

13 amp Mains Plug (Switched)

Switch OFF the outlet and remove the plug from the socket. If access to the service area is required, you can only gain access by removing the IEC plug to ensure the unit is not plugged in. 

Cleaning of fans

Depending on the model, your ChargeLite™ unit may have thermostatically controlled fan(s) in the rear panel. Under normal operating temperatures, the fan is off. The fan will come on when the unit exceeds a pre-set temperature and continue to run until the temperature lowers below its lower set point. If the temperature rises, the unit will shut down automatically and sound an audible alarm. 
Over time, dust and debris can partially block the fan and ventilation holes, preventing maximum airflow and causing the unit not to cool as expected.

Therefore, it is recommended that the fan blades and ventilation holes be checked and cleaned at least once every three months or if you suspect an increase in normal running temperature or if the unit shuts down.

To clean the fan and ventilation holes, carefully agitate the dust with a suitable dry brush and extract the loose particles with a vacuum cleaner. Additionally, the ventilation holes can be wiped with a "damp" (not wet) cloth. Do not use a damp (or wet) cloth on the fan housing, as the primary charging electrics are behind.

Health and Safety

The ChargeLite™ Range manufactured by LapSafe® have been thoroughly tested and certified by an authorised and INDEPENDENT notified testing house before sale.
 

Full CE and UKCA  compliance, which includes the requirements of LVD and EMC directives, is a STANDARD FEATURE of any solution manufactured by LapSafe®, as are many more built in safety features.

CE and UKCA Marking can be found on the product serial number plate, usually at the lower rear of the cabinet.

A CE and UKCA Declaration of Conformity Certificate is issued and can be found at the foot of this document. 

Please be advised of the following safety advice:
At no time is the rear service door of the trolley to be opened by anyone other than an authorised person.
 

At no time should anyone attempt to physically lift the trolley, as this could cause injury to the persons concerned and even damage to the trolley, which will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. Should the movement of the trolley require this type of action, you are advised to seek advice from the authorised person. In such circumstances, the matter should be referred to LapSafe® for consultation and advice.

• Always apply the wheel brakes when the trolley is either parked or not in use.
• Disconnect the mains supply and stow the mains cable into either the cable management provided or on top of the unit before moving.
• Always ensure that the main power lead does not present a trip hazard when connected to the mains.
• Always ensure that the main power lead is fully extended when connected to the mains.
• The trolley should only be moved on horizontal surfaces.
• Always ensure that the trolley NEVER impedes full and free pedestrian access to all fire routes, fire exits and normal access routes.
• NEVER allow unauthorised access to the service doors at the rear of the unit.

The information above is not exhaustive. Contact LapSafe® should you have any concerns.
