Charging without connecting to a host computer

3
When the TS2-16 is switched on and is not
connected to a local host computer it is
automatically configured to charge devices
using its intelligent charging algorithm.
Simply connect the devices to be charged
to any of the available 16 ports using USB2.0-
compliant cables.

Using when connected to a host computer

4.1 Charging

When the Thunderbolt™ Host Port is connected
to a Thunderbolt™ 2 compliant port of a local
computer, the TS2-16 defaults to Sync mode
and charge currents are determined according to
USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) High Speed
USB2.0 specifications.
If the attached device complies with USB-IF
Battery Charging specification BC1.2 and supports
Charging Downstream Port (CDP), the TS2-16
can provide high-speed charging at up to 1.5A.
If the connected device does not comply with
BC1.2, the charge current will be limited to
500mA in compliance with USB specifications.
If higher charge rates are required to sync Apple
products (only), Cambrionix's ChaSync+ programme
allows up to 2.1A to be provided. This programme
can be downloaded from https://cambrionix.com.
Before ChaSync+ can provide 2.4A the MVRAM
settings of the TS2-16 must be changed.
Please contact support@cambrionix.com for
information on how to do this.
ThunderSync2-16 USER GUIDE

2.2 Connecting to the mains

Making sure you adhere to local safety regulations,
connect the mains cable to the mains power outlet
and switch the TS2-16 on using the power switch
located adjacent to the power input connector
on the TS2-16. The TS2-16 is now ready to charge
attached devices.
Once the devices are connected, the algorithm will
detect the highest charge rate allowable for each
attached device. Charging at the optimum rate (up
to 2.4Amps) specified by the manufacturer
will commence once profiling is complete.
Depending on the state of charge of the device
attached, profiling may take tens of seconds.

4.2 Data Transfer

If you wish to transfer data, change applications,
restore or update your mobile device, a data
connection to a local host computer is required.
The TS2-16 works independently to the Operating
System (OS) and data transfer can be performed
to all common mobile operating systems, such as
iOS, Android, Chromebook and Microsoft. In order
to transfer data, connect the host port to your local
(host) computer using a Thunderbolt™ 2 compliant
cable. Any devices connected to the TS2-16 will
now appear as if they were connected to the host
computer's USB port. The TS2-16 is fully compliant
with High Speed USB2.0 and given its 20Gbps
upstream connection can provide full 480Mbps
data transfer speeds through each port
simultaneously.
You can now use the software of your choice
to transfer data to and from your devices. As
indicated in 4.1 above, if the attached device has a
BC1.2 compliant CDP port, the device can draw
up to 1.5A while transferring data.
