2. Your PDS-C4 at a glance

The PDS-C4 has been designed primarily for desktop use, being highly compact and quiet. It

provides 60W of charging power to each of its 4 x USB 2.0 Type-C ports, allowing mobile

devices to be charged quickly, safely and reliably. All ports can be controlled using Cambrionix

software to allow charging and/or data transfer while monitoring important port and device

information.

The PDS-C4 can charge attached USB devices without using a local computer and our intelligent

charging algorithm allows almost any device to be charged at its optimum rate (up to 3A). The

firmware can be up-dated to allow new charging profiles to be added, ensuring the PDS-C4 can

charge the latest devices. It is ready to charge out-of-the-box and to sync devices when

attached to a host computer.

When a local (host) computer is attached, the host can control operation of the ports using

freely available software. Device charging and synchronisation can be monitored through

Cambrionix’s LiveViewer App, the Application Programming Interface (API) or Command Line

Interface (CLI). Cambrionix’s free monitoring and control software can be downloaded from

www.cambrionix.com/software

4. Getting Started

This manual provides a reference for end-users who are installing for the first time and using

their hub thereafter. As well as a guide for product safety-related information.

The PDS-C4 is intended to be used in an indoor static environment in which the environment

falls within the tested specifications to provide charge, sync and management functionality. For

information on the environment specifications please see the physical specifications section of

this manual.

4.1. Opening your product

quantities of them are correct before opening. This is to avoid retesting and repackaging any

items which are not required.

4.3. Connecting to the mains

Connect the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the hub using the 4-pin DIN plug. Connect the power

cable to the PSU. Making sure you adhere to local safety regulations, connect the power cable

to the 100 – 250 VAC mains power outlet and switch the hub on using the small power switch

located adjacent to the power input connector on the hub. When the device is switched on, a

red LED will be illuminated. The hub is now ready to charge attached devices.

Periodic inspection should be made to power supply cables and any USB cables for any signs of

damage. If any damage is found then replace damaged cord before further use.

4.4. Connecting to Host

Once the power is connected connect the PDS-C4 to your host system using a USB 2.0 Type-C

cable, this is provided with your hub. Using an incorrect host cable may result in the hub and all

subsequent ports not being recognised by your host.

Please note that USB specifications require a minimum 100 mA charge current to be delivered

during data transfer. As indicated in above, if the attached device has a BC1.2 compliant CDP

port, the device can draw up to 3A while transferring data.
