EZI/STD CHARGING UNIT –
INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
This bulletin discusses the installation procedure for the EZI/STD Charging
Unit – Individual wireless charging transmitter.
OVERVIEW
The EZI/STD Charging Unit – Individual dual-mode transmitter is compliant
with PMA and WPC Qi standards.
The transmitter is tuned for best performance through!
8 mm (0.315") of non-conductive solid surface. Instructions for optimum
placement and installation are in this bulletin. Due to the precise routing
required the installation should be done in the fabrication shop prior to sheet
installation.
The EZI/STD Charging Unit – Individual package consists of the transmitter,
power cord and transformer. PMA-compliant charging rings are available
separately in packs of three: one ring each of micro USB, Apple 30-pin and
Apple Lightning® PMA compatible receivers.
The transmitter has a micro USB port for updating the firmware if necessary.
A. PREPLANNING
A.1. Box Contents
The box will come with the transmitter and the power supply (not pictured
here).
A.3. Placement
There are several considerations regarding proper placement of the transmitter:
• Avoid putting in proximity to locations where the device being charged
may get wet, exposed to excessive heat or any other conditions which
may damage the device being charged. !
• Do not install next to heat sources (such as stoves) or where heat sources
are commonly used (toasters, hot plates, etc.). !
• Stay away from edges where charging devices can be easily knocked off
the surface. !
Work with the customer to determine convenient locations. Page 1 of 4 !
EZI/STD CHARGING UNIT – INSTALLATION
The transmitter requires a rectangular space of 82 mm x!
92 mm (3.23"x 3.60") below the surface counter. Allow an extra 25 mm (1")
distance to any support structure. No metal should be between the transmitter
and the surface. The transmitter also requires 36 mm (1 7/16") vertical clearance
measured from the top surface (24 mm (0.94") from bottom surface). Avoid
placement above heat- or moisture-generating appliances such as dishwashers,
warming drawers, wine refrigerators, etc. Verify cabinet/support measurements
before cutting the top. There should be a support strip between the transmitter
and any cutouts or the edge of the top.
The transmitter does generate some heat and ideally is installed such that it
shares airspace with the cabinet interior.
If placing above a drawer, make sure there is sufficient clearance, including
drawer contents.
Install so that the transmitter will be accessible by the customer. If there is a
warranty replacement the customer will need to be able to remove and replace
the transmitter. Make sure the power and micro USB ports will be accessible
after installation. Plan for power cable routing and mounting of the transformer.
The power supply has a 1.2 m (47") DC cable, 111 mm x 51 mm x 36 mm (4.4"
x 2.0" x 1.4") transformer and 1.2 m (47") AC cable. A four-unit power supply
is available separately.
If more than one transmitter is installed they should be at least 150 mm (6")
from each other.
A.4. Marking Charging Location
Discuss the options for marking the charging spot with the customer. Some may
prefer a permanent mark, either a highly visible mark or a subtle mark that
blends with the background. A highly visible mark may be preferred in
environments where multiple users will be using the device and aren’t familiar
with the area. Subtle or temporary markings may be more appropriate where
there are a limited number of users that will become familiar with the location
over time.
Marking options include laser engraving or inlays for permanent marks, and
stickers for temporary marks. Laser engraving will leave a slight depression and
may be more difficult to clean. For high visibility markings choose a
contrasting color. In commercial environments this may incorporate corporate
color logos. For subtle markings a complementary color should be used.
Translucent White Joint Adhesive or Joint Adhesive is often a good choice for
subtle inlays. For particulate colors matching one of the particulates may work
well. The uniform shape of the mark will help it stand out when viewed at close
distances, but it will blend into the background at greater distances.
A.5. Additional Materials and Equipment
In addition to the transmitter, fabrication will require 100% silicone adhesive,
denatured alcohol and a clean cloth. Using a CNC with a flat-tipped end mill bit
is highly recommended for accurately cutting the cavity.
Some form of cable management (conduit, clips, etc.) will be necessary.
B. VERIFY TRANSMITTER OPERATION
B.1. Important Testing Guidance
Verify the transmitter is operational before installing by plugging it in. A green
LED should blink once.
DO NOT TEST BY PLACING A RECEIVER IN CONTACT WITH THE
TRANSMITTER.
The transmitter is optimized for the installation distance, bringing the
transmitter and receiver in direct contact may damage the devices. Always
test with something nonmetallic of 8 mm (0.315") thickness in between the
transmitter and receiver.
B.2. Firmware Updates
When there is a firmware update, Neosen Energy will make the update available
for download. The transmitter is updated by connecting the device to a
computer using a USB 2.0 Micro Type-B to USB Standard Type-A cable.
C. SHEET PREPARATION
C.1. Optional Inlay/Laser Engraving
Charging location marking methods that require fabrication should be
performed before milling the pocket for the transmitter. Standard techniques for
engraving or creating inlays may be used to identify the charging location. If
the customer does not desire a permanent indicator a temporary sticker may be
used and may be applied when fabrication is complete.
C.2. Milling Pocket
The wireless power transmitter is optimized for a surface thickness of 8 mm
(0.315"). A CNC is highly recommended for pocket milling as the distance is
registered from the face of the sheet, whereas a hand router distance is
registered off the back of the sheet, which may induce more variability in
remaining sheet thickness.
The pocket should be milled as a circle of 63.5 mm (2.5") with remaining
material thickness of 8 mm (0.315"). Use a flat-tipped end mill bit with a 3 mm
(0.118") radius on the tip for a uniform surface in the cavity.
Make sure that once the transmitter is installed there will be clearance for
attaching the power plug and that there is access to the micro USB port for
potential firmware updates.
D. TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION
D.1. Adhering transmitter to sheet
Remove all dust and shavings. Clean the sheet
and flange of the transmitter with a clean cloth
dampened with denatured alcohol1. Verify the
desired orientation of the transmitter so that the
power and USB ports will be accessible after
installation. The flange will sit slightly above
the surface when the coil is in contact with the
cavity surface.
The transmitter is attached to the sheet with a 100% silicone adhesive. Place
dabs of silicone at each of the four corners. Clear or translucent adhesive is
recommended, white is shown here for visibility. Avoid highly contrasting
colors, particularly dark adhesive with more translucent, lighter- colored sheets.
There needs to be enough silicone to fill the gap between the flange and the
surface. Keep the silicone away
from the coil. If for some reason
the transmitter will be replaced,
removal will be easier if the
adhesive is only on the flange and
not in the cavity. If desired, small
amounts of hot melt adhesive
may be placed along opposite
sides to hold the transmitter in
place while the silicone adhesive
cures. The hot melt can be
applied at the edges of the flange
after the transmitter is placed in
the pocket. The transmitter may
be held in place with tape or a
weight while the silicone cures.
Hot melt adhesive is for temporary bonding only. It is not suitable for long
term mounting.
D.2. Wiring
The transmitter is supplied with a power cord consisting of DC and AC wiring
connected with a transformer. In many cases an AC power outlet may need to
be installed in the cabinetry where the transmitter is to be installed. Local codes
must be followed and the AC outlet often must be installed by a licensed
electrician.
E. LED INDICATOR
The LED will indicate the current transmitter status.
F. TRANSPORTATION
The greatest risk of physical damage to the transmitter will be between
transmitter installation and fabricated top installation in the facility. Protect the
transmitter during storage and transportation. One option for protecting the
transmitter is to cut a cavity large enough to contain the transmitter in a piece of
stiff foam. This foam can then be taped over the transmitter for protection.
