OVERVIEW The inPower™ Flex System of convenience outlets provides a ready source of AC and 5 VDC power for common personal electronic devices often carried by travelers (laptop computers, DVD players, Blackberries, iPods, digital cameras, etc). The user will access the power through modules mounted under seating, under table tops or on other structures. The inPower™ Flex will consist of a receptacle module with dual receptacles for VAC and two 5 VDC power sources provided through USB receptacles. The modules can be connected in series to power many modules from a single source (ie – daisy chain). On Arconas products, they can be mounted on linear seating, under tables or under cluster tables. Unique brackets are provided for each specific application. The North American model ( Part Number 25000) includes a standard 3-pin duplex receptacle to provide 120 VAC. It includes Ground Fault Interruption (GFI) protection to protect users for short circuits to ground. There are three Models designed for 230 VAC. One employs the BS 1363 sockets common in UK (Part Number 25022), Hong Kong and other countries. A second model Part Number 25023) uses the “Schuko” sockets (CEE 7) common to most of Europe and used widely around the world. The Universal version includes two universal sockets that are compatible with nearly all plugs used on 230 VAC systems. The Universal version (Part Number 25001) will also accept North American and Japanese spec plugs but will supply 230 VAC not 120 VAC. Users will need to use 120-230 V rated devices or transformers to reduce the voltage. The primary component of the system is the receptacle module. In addition to the AC and DC power receptacles it includes an integral 5 VDC power supply, a power indicator lights, a circuit breaker to limit the current on the module, a second circuit breaker to limit the current within a daisy chain of modules and the inlet and outlet power connectors. The power cord connects to a wall or floor power socket and jumper cords are used to interconnect the receptacle modules in a daisy chain. The inPower™ Flex system is designed to minimize the tripping of the building circuit breakers. When used as the only load on a building circuit, the daisy chain circuit breakers will trip before the building service breakers. This will minimize the need to access to the electrical closets when an overload occurs. It can be reset from the module that tripped by a user or staff member.

Each module also includes a circuit breaker to limit the current to approximately 600 watts. This prevents the use of high current devices (hair dryers, travel irons, floor cleaning machines, etc.) while allowing the use of all consumer electronics. When a high current device is used, only the one receptacle module shuts down. It can easily be reset by a user or staff member resetting the circuit breaker.

FEATURES ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Daisy Chain Length inPower Flex units can be connected in series to allow multiple units to be powered from a single power source. No more than 5 units can be included in a single series connected daisy chain. Daisy Chain Connections

OPERATION The inPower modules will be installed under table tops or under public seating in places easily reached by the public. The users will plug in their consumer electronic devices using standard power cords or USB cords. Service can be extended from one unit to another using a jumper cable from the daisy chain outlet of one unit to the power inlet of a second unit to a maximum of 5 series connected units. If the receptacle indicator is not illuminated, a user or staff member can reset one or both circuit breakers to restore service. The reset buttons are on the front panel of the receptacle modules. If the GFI indicator is illuminated and no load is present, the user presses the GFI re-set button to restore service (North America only).
