Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

Designed for schools, government, training facilities, and corporate environments, the Tablet Cart (TAB16CS-LS or TAB32CS-LS) provides a safe and easy way to store, transport, charge, and sync iPads®. The cart not only provides a secure storage point, but it also charges and has an optional syncing feature, to keep all users updated on the latest software, programs, and files. Personal computer devices such as the Nook®, Kindle®, e-readers, and many other personal devices that charge through a USB connection can also be charged and synced as long as the syncing computer has compatible syncing software for the devices. Those using wireless environments to transfer data will only need the TAB16C-LS or TAB32C-LS. The Tablet Cart is available in capacities of 16 and 32. The TAB16C-LS and TAB32C-LS will provide charging only, while the TAB16CS-LS and TAB32CS-LS provide charging and syncing capabilities. They accommodate up to 16 or 32 devices. The sync port on the side of the cart (TAB16CS-LS and TAB32CS- LS) allows one computer to be used to update the entire cart of tablets (charge/sync models only). The TAB16CS-LSL and TAB32LS-LSL are the same as the TAB16CS-LS and TAB32CS-LS, but they include a lightning cable.

Hinged shelves open easily to feed power cables through and close tightly with protective foam to keep cords from moving once in place. Plus, locking tambour doors keep contents secure.

2.2 Features

2.2.1 Tablet Cart Body

Venting design on side and rear panels allow for natural convective airflow to aid in cooling when doors are closed and lateral airflow when doors are open.

Includes (2) 5" swivel foot brake casters and (2) 5" rigid casters to provide easy maneuverability throughout a building.

A three-point lock on the rear door limits access to the electrical components and cables so IT configurations remain secure.

The cord winders (located on the handles) and grommets (1-34" in diameter) allow neat and organized cord management when moving the cart. One handle is included with each cart and each side panel features a grommet. Additional handles are available for purchase.

100% of all painted steel components have a powder-coated finish (powder coating is the most environmentally safe coating method available today).

2.2.2 Tray Inserts

Attach to metal shelves and install front to back at a downward angle of no less than 4 degrees within the cart.

Each tray is able to safely store 16 devices and is made from KYDEX (UL94 5VO rated).

2.2.3 Laminate Top

Durable 118" laminated wood top with T-molding enables use of printers, projectors, laptops, and other equipment on top of the cart.

Provides a smooth working and writing surface, unobstructed by handles or metal lip.

2.2.4 Charging and Syncing System Operation

Power is sequentially supplied to each device to provide simultaneous charging after sequencing that supplies a nominal 2.1A +5V DC to each device. Power on sequencing consists of turning on each device one at a time, to prevent a current overload when the charge mode is set, or to prevent a syncing computer USB port jam when the sync mode is set.
