MOD-1550c Charging Station

1. What are the power requirements for the InCharg Charging Stations?

   All the Charging Stations use a 110W plug(s) for the main power. In most cases it's only one plug. The charging connections are USB ports. There are 8 USB ports on most tables. The larger conference tables have 16 USB ports. When the USB port option is added to standard counters, pedestals, and workstations (MOD-225), they are added in groups of four. 

   Optional 110W outlets can be added to many of the InCharg Charging Solutions. The outlets come standard on the VK-1431 Charging Tower.

   For electrical mapping purposes at tradeshows or events, assume a 2-4 amp power drop per table.

   Should you have any questions reqarding the charging solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

2. How are the InCharg Charging Solutions assembled?

   The InCharg Charging Solutions, tables, towers, counters, etc., are primarily modular, meaning they assemble in 3-5 components. For example, the MOD-1432 Bistro Table has three modular components:  the countertop, post, and base.

   The countertop includes all the electrical and wire management. Other than threading the main 110 W power cord through the post and base, there's no electrical assemble. It's all self-contained. The post attaches to the countertop with knobs using treaded inserts. The base them connects to the post with a allen key bolt. A multi-function allen key tool is supplied with the kit.

   It's really that easy. The LED lights, USB ports, and optional 110W outlets are all pre-wired.

3. What are the benefits to having a charging station in my booth or at my event?

   Smartphones, tablets, and computers are part of our daily lives. And they all require power. Rarely does a day go by that we don't need to plug-in our devices during the day to charge the battery. At trade shows and events, the power drain is even more acute as we check emails, respond to texts, and research possible suppliers.

   We are drawn to booths with casual charging options such as tables, counters, and pedestals. Exhibitors that include attractive charging solutions in their space benefit from that traffic and interaction with attendees. And because charging takes time, it allows suppliers and potential clients the opportunity to explore business opportunities.

   Benefits:

   • Attract and interact with attendees in a casual setting
   • Reinforce branding with countertop and charging station graphics
   • Provide employees with a convenient spot to charge their smartphones or tablets
   • Add casual functional seating for meeting with clients
   • The LED lighting option attracts attendees to your booth or event
   • Ideal for post-show use in your corporate lobby, conference room, or employee lounge
4. What are the graphic branding opportunities for InCharg Charging Solutions?

   The primary graphic branding for InCharg Charging Solutions is a countertop graphic. In most cases, these are adhesive graphics that can be removed. Most companies have a full graphic printed that covers the entire surface, althought smaller adhesive graphics are also available. Some companies have elected to have the sides branded as well.

   In addition to printed graphics, the laminate color often serves as a branding opportunity depending on your corporate color(s). White LED lights will enhance the laminate color on the perimeter.

   Finally, selecting RGB programmable LED lights allows you to choose the specific LED color you want on the perimeter lighting. These are infinity adjustable and come with multiple programs where the lights flash or sequence through a color pattern. There are several videos online that show the sequencing.

5. How do the InCharg Charging Solutions pack?

   It depends, which you probably already guessed. 

   There are some that can be shipped in portable roto-molded cases with wheels, such as:

   • MOD-1442 Bistro Table
   • MOD-1445 Bistro Table
   • MOD-1440 End Table
   • MOD-1435 End Table

   However, most require a larger shipping container because the counters, posts, and bases will not fit into a portable case. These can ship in a jigged wood crate fully assembled, when you need a permanent shipping option or a corrugated tub with padding for a temporary option. In many cases, the InCharg Charging Solution is just one piece of a larger exhibit, which means it can be packed with the display.

   Should you have any questions, please contact us.

    

6. What are my options regarding lighting, electrical outlets, laminate colors, and accessories?

   Let's cover each option separately.

   Lighting

   Many InCharg Charging Solutions have perimeter LED lights. The standard color is white, which will enhance your laminate color. For a nominal upcharge, you can have RGB Programmable LED lights. These allow you to dial a specific color using a remote and even have programming options such as flashing or squencing light displays. If there are other lighting options you might want, let us know. We are happy to customize your charging solution to your specific requirements.

   Electrical Outlets

   110W electrical outlets can be added to many of the charging solutions, depending on the space available. These will be pre-wired just like the USB ports so it's still "plug and play."

   Laminate Colors

   It's really up to you. We don't dicate ony specific laminate, although our typical sources are Nevamar, Pionite, and Wilsonart. Within those companies, there are standard laminates and specialty laminates. Most laminates don't require an upcharge, but there are custom finish and material lamainates that sell at a higher price. If you choose those custom finishes, we will let you know and quote the upcharge. Don't see a laminate color you want? We are happy to source from other vendors.

   Accessories

   The most popular accessory is the MOD-1329 iPad Swivel Mount. These can be added to most charging solutions. Other accessories include LED lightboxes, monitors, and signholders.

   Still have questions? Contact us. We're happy to create a charging solution ideal for your trade show, retail, or event.

Exhibit Weight varies depending on the packaging and the shipping method. Variables include but are not limited to:

• Dimensional Weight vs. Actual Weight: Dimensional weight is defined as crate or case size. On most air shipments, the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight
• Portable Cases vs. Wood Crates or Molded Tubs (where applicable): Exhibit designs that require one wood crate would require multiple portable cases. Selecting one vs. the other affects the total weight (dimensional or actual).
• Freight Carrier: LTL carriers (Less than Truckload) quote freight based on space used. UPS, FedEx, and air freight carriers quote freight based on either the dimensional or the actual weight of the shipment.
• Freight Service Level (number of days): Service levels range from Same Day Delivery to Two Week Delivery.

For more information about exhibit weights and freight options, please contact your local exhibit representative.

Electrical, Cord, and Wire Management varies depending on the display and each exhibitor's requirements. When ordering your trade show display, consider the following electrical/wire management issues and discuss your options with an exhibit professional:

• Inline vs. Island Displays
• Lead Retrieval Devices
• Computer and Monitor Cables
• Demo Equipment
• Overhead Lighting
• Grommets and Grommet Placement in Counters
• Overhead vs. Floor Power Supply
• Flooring and Electrical Wiring
• Options for Hiding Cords and Cables
• Flat vs. Round Electrical Cords
• Multi-Plug Outlets and Extension Cords

By reviewing your wiring options BEFORE you order your display, you'll save TIME and MONEY and ensure your exhibit exceeds your expectations and your installation is trouble-free.
