Safety, Warnings, Disclaimers Safety, Warnings, Disclaimers Powermat Charging Spot 3.1 is designed for installation by Powermat certified installers. Never open or repair the device. It should only be done by an authorized specialist. Do not install the device under an electrical conductive surface.
Charging Spot Schematics 3.2. Installation Configurations Powermat’s Charging Spot 3.1 could be installed in either a surface-mounted or a sub- surface configuration. Due to the required milling accuracy, and necessary permanent spot marking, Powermat does not endorse on-site sub-surface installations.
Drilling guidelines Drilling guidelines 1. Step 1 - mark the spots locations on the table 1. Make sure it’s according to the quantity requested per table 2. Mark all the locations before drilling and make sure all are aligned vertically and horizontally 3.

Charging Spot Installation 5. Magnetic Module Subassembly - Surface Mounted 1. Separate magnetic module sub-assembly (F) from electronics module sub- assembly (G) by pressing the quick release connector lever and pulling gently. Figure 4 Quick- release connector 2. Hold the magnetic module such that the quick-release connector points toward the desired installation orientation of the electronics module and housing.

Charging Spot Installation 4. Add 3-4 dots of silicone on inner bottom lip of the cap (D). This silicone will keep the cap tightly secured to the surface. Figure 6 5. Pass the heat sink mount through the hole from the top of the surface, and press the surface-mounted cap onto the hole, so the cap shoulders sit snug against the surface.

Charging Spot Installation 4. While pressing the coil encasing firmly upwards, tighten the 3 latches firmly into the cavity.
Wiring Wiring 1. Before you start o Wiring should be done as discreetly as possible o It is required to use 16gage DC wires at the minimum o Wires may not ‘jump’ from two surfaces (i.e. counters) if there is a gap between surfaces, wiring should run down the leg of one counter, along the baseboard or underneath the chair rail, and then up the leg of the next counter.

Wiring 2. Charging Spot Wiring 1. Determine wiring path, and identify the jacks you would like to use for your input. 2. Using a narrow flat head screwdriver, push the respective terminal button, and insert the positive wire (red or sometimes white) into the red DC push wire jack terminal, and the negative wire (black) into the grey DC push jack terminal.

This section will deal with wall wiring, AC to DC work and power supplies 1. Powerbox: The Powermat Powerbox comes in two versions, a 120W power supply and an 180W power supply. The Powerbox provides the required power to the Charging Spots. The uniqueness of the Powerbox is that it allows you to maintain your two socket power outlet for other purposes, while providing the necessary DC power –...
