ALFACHARGE WIRELESS CHARGERS FOR RAIL

12/24VDC WIRELESS CHARGER MODULE

ALR1 SERIES WIRELESS CHARGER MODULE FOR INTEGRATION INTO VEHICLE EQUIPMENT AND ALR3 PASSENGER-ACCESSIBLE WIRELESS CHARGERS FOR ROLLING STOCK INSTALLATIONS

Wireless charging is increasingly becoming the preferred method of maintaining battery power in mobile devices, with most of the latest designs from major manufacturers including wireless charging as standard.

The ALR1 Series Wireless Charger Module is designed for integration into railway equipment such as passenger seating and table tops. This module is typically housed in apparatus that enables mobile phones to be retained in position on rolling stock during charging.

The charging element is placed within 0.7mm of the casing exterior to allow for maximum performance in a wide range of situations. When designing housing equipment, we recommend keeping the active face of the unit within 5.0mm of the passenger accessible area.

The ALR3-V Wireless Charger is designed for installation into table tops on rolling stock, allowing passengers to charge their devices on the move. The unit is installed through an 80.0mm hole in the table and secured underneath, providing an unobtrusive and functional enhancement of the passenger experience.

Both wireless chargers permit installation at vehicle build stage or as part of a retrofit activity.

The wireless receiver of the charging unit will automatically detect the presence of suitably enabled mobile devices and will typically charge through a case up to 3.0mm thick.

THE RANGE

The Alfacharge range has been designed to meet the rigorous standards required for onboard applications, including EN61373, 550155, 50121-3-2, and is CE marked.

The casings are made from V0-rated (self-extinguishing) high impact polycarbonate, and the PCB is populated by computer-controlled SMT for maximum accuracy and durability.

SAFETY

Wireless chargers require that there is no
metal between the device providing the
charge and the device being charged, as
this metal could heat up to a hazardous
temperature.

The ALR series of wireless chargers use
sophisticated Foreign Object Detection
(FOD) algorithms to detect metal objects
placed between the charger and the device
being charged and prevent the charging
process from starting if metal is detected.

It is the responsibility of the installer to
ensure correct operation of the FOD
functions in the end application of the
product, and that during use, no metal is
expected to be placed between the wireless
charger and the device being charged

WARRANTY

The ALR1 and ALR3 Series of wireless chargers are manufactured using rugged components to provide years of service in demanding commercial environments and are covered by a three-year return-to-base warranty.
