Notebus (LAP16-17H B)

Notebus +(LAP16-17H EPM)

Notebus -IC(LAP16-17H IC)

The RM moveIT (Bretford LAP16-17H) can be supplied in 3 different versions: Basic (notebus), Electronic Power

Management (notebus +) or Intelligent Charging (notebus -IC).

The unique design then allows the trolley to be easily upgraded, promoting a truly future proof solution.

This is achieved via the removable/replaceable power module which can be simply swapped out by the user,

so as your schools requirements change the power module can be easily upgraded.

All electronic components are housed in this easily removable module, meaning that in the unlikely event that

something goes wrong the user can quickly and easily replace the power module, reducing down time.

The power module is located at the rear of the unit and features a locking door to ensure only authorised access.

To assemble/configure your new storage & recharging cabinet simply follow the steps for the relevant

model you have purchased.

Optional UpgradesData Transfer:

Only the notebus+ (LAP16-17H EPM) and the notebus-IC (LAP16-17H IC) can facilitate data transfer activities, featuring

19” rack mounting brackets; a built-in network lead; external ethernet socket; and power provisions for a network

switch as standard. (Network switch not included)

A Network Loom Kit is available as an optional upgrade with these models, which includes 2 x 8 network lead looms,

all bound & pre-cut to the required lengths. (Network switch not included)

The Network Loom Kit can be added, either at the time of initial purchase or by the user at a later date. If you ordered

the Network Loom Kit at the same time as the cabinet, then the 2 network lead looms will be pre-fitted in the cabinet.

Simply mount a network switch to the 19” rack mount and connect all the leads in to commence data transfer

activities. (Network switch not included) - See page 8 for full details.

FANS:

Fans are required if you intend to use the unit’s data transfer capabilities. To provide the increased ventilation and

cooling needed.

Fans can be added to all 3 models, either at time of initial purchase or by the user at a later date. If you ordered the

optional fans at the same time as the cabinet, then the fans will have been pre-fitted at the factory.

To assemble/configure your new charging trolley, simply follow the steps below...

DO NOT CONNECT TO THE MAINS SUPPLY UNTIL STEPS 1-10 ARE COMPLETE

Ventilation:All vents MUST be kept clear at all times, no posters etc. covering the perforations.Also ensure there is a minimum of 50mm clearance between the back and sides of the cabinetto ensure good air flow.

Fans:If fans are fitted: Whilst charging, if the temperature in the cabinet exceeds 30° the fans willautomatically initiate. The fan guards MUST be kept clear at all times, including allowing aminimum of 75mm clearance between the back of the cabinet and the wall to ensure good airflow. The fans will continue to run until the temperature drops below 30°.However, if the room has a high ambient temperature this may cause the fans to remain on.

Step 1: Step 1: In a clear floor area lay the cabinet on its back and make sure that the areais off limits to all people other than those engaged in fixing the castor plates.BRETFORD ADVISE THIS IS A MINUMUM TWO PERSON OPERATIONThe four hole castor plates need to be bolted to the underside of the cabinet using the bolts,spring washers and flat washers provided. A single flat washer is to be located between thecastor plate and the cabinet base at the 4 threaded fixing points provided. Each of the fixing bolts (4 are requiredto securely mount a single castor plate) complete with a spring washer should then be passed through the locationholes in the castor plate, the flat washer as previously described and finally locate into the fixing points.We recommend that the two locking castors are fitted to the front of the cabinet.Once located by hand all bolts should then be securely tightened using an appropriately sized spanner or socket.Once all 4 castors are fitted carefully return the cabinet to an upright position.It is important that all castor plates are fitted as described above and checked before using the cabinet.

Step 2: Move to the rear of the cabinet, next to the mains socket and on/off switchyou will see an M5 fastener. Take one of the plastic bumpers, a washer and an M5 screwprovide (can be found in the box with the manual) and attach to the cabinet using aposidrive head screwdriver.

Then take the second the plastic bumpers, a washer and an M5 screw provide and attach tothe other M5 fastener located next to the CAT socket to the left.

NOTE: Please ensure that the M5 screws are not over tightened when fixing the plasticbumpers to the trolley.

Step 11: Ensure that thecabinet’s On/Off switch,located at the rear of the cabinet, is in the OFF position.Plug the cabinet’s mains leadinto the IEC socket above theOn/Off switch.

Step 12: IMPORTANT– When connecting to a13amp mains supply socket,ensure the wall socket is aswitched socket and is in the‘off’ position. Then plug thecabinet mains plug into the wall socket and switch on.

Step 13: Switch on the cabinets On/Off switch, locatedat the rear of the cabinet. Thered LED light on the front of thecabinet will illuminate to showthe unit is receiving power.
