Each USB-C port supports PD / PPS / QC4 profiles as specified. The USB-A port supports QC 3.0.

The charger's smart power distribution automatically allocates available power across connected devices, up to the 200W combined limit.

Connecting Adapto 200 to Power

  1. Place the charger on a stable, dry and well-ventilated surface.
  2. Connect the supplied power cable to the AC input socket on the charger.
  3. Connect the other end to a suitable AC wall outlet.
  4. The OLED display turns on and shows the charger status.
  5. Connect your devices using compatible USB charging cables.

The input rating is 110–240V AC, 50/60Hz, 3.6A.

Charging a Device

  1. Identify the required output port.
  2. Connect a compatible charging cable to the port.
  3. Connect the other end to the phone, tablet, laptop or other device.
  4. Check the OLED display for the port's live wattage.
  5. Allow the charger to automatically allocate power according to the connected device and the available total output.

For best results, use a charging cable rated for the power level and charging protocol required by the device.

Charging Multiple Devices

Adapto 200 supports up to five connected devices at the same time using four USB-C ports and one USB-A port.

  1. Connect each device to an available port.
  2. Check the OLED display to see the wattage being delivered by each port.
  3. Check the total output shown on the display.
  4. If a device charges more slowly after additional devices are connected, the charger may have redistributed the available power.

Dual-Laptop Charging

The product listing specifically describes dual-laptop charging at 100W + 100W through USB-C2 and USB-C3, within the 200W total output limit.

Use compatible laptops and USB-C cables that support the required power delivery.

Understanding the OLED Display

The real-time OLED display provides information about charger operation.

The supplied product sheet illustrates these display views:

Display ViewInformation
Standby ModeCharger standby status
Total Wattage DisplayCombined output power being used
Port Wattage DisplayPower being delivered through each USB output
Charging-Time CalculationCharging time information
Temperature Control DisplayAI temperature-control / ECO-COOL status

The touch sensor is used to change the display view. Use the touch control to cycle through the available display screens.

The displayed wattage can change as devices connect, disconnect or change their charging demand.

Understanding Power Distribution

The charger has a 200W combined output limit. Power distribution changes according to the occupied ports and connected devices.

The product sheet lists the following example combinations:

Connected PortsPower Distribution Printed on Product Sheet
C1 + C265W + 35W
C3 + C465W + 35W
C1 + C2 + C3/C465W + 35W + 100W
C1 + C2 + C3 + C465W + 35W + 65W + 35W
C2 + C3100W + 100W
C3 + USB-A65W + 30W
C4 + USB-A15W + 10W
C1/C2 + USB-A100W + 30W

Power-table note: The printed combination table contains some entries that are not fully clear or appear inconsistent with the individual port ratings and 200W total. Treat the OLED display's live port readings and total output as the operating reference. Do not assume that every listed combination is guaranteed for every device or cable.
