Compatibility
Duplicator is USB 2.0 compliant. Works with USB 3.0 devices at 480Mb/s.
Works with the following devices:
- USB Flash media drive
- USB External hard disk
- Addonics Pocket Ultra DigiDrive (including PCMCIA storage devices or 
flash 
  storage with the Addonics adapters)
- Addonics Pocket eSATA/USB DigiDrive
- Addonics Pocket Micro SATA UDD
- Addonics Diamond or Ruby ExDrive, with or without Cipher feature, using \
  the Addonics USB 3.0 to eSATAp Adapter
- Any of the above USB storage devices used with the Addonics CipherUSB
NOTE: Using an external power supply with storage devices that support 
external power is strongly recommended.
Using the Duplicator with Adapters not supplied by Addonics is not 
supported or recommended.
Duplicating source media encrypted using the Addonics Cipher family of 
products can be done without using the Cipher hardware – which will r\
esult 
in encrypted duplicates. This requires the Setup option Copy Area to be set 
to “Whole Media.”
The Duplicator can copy media formatted as FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2 or 
ext3 with the Setup option Copy Area  set to “System and Files.” Copying 
NTFS media this way requires target media that is larger in capacity tha\
n the 
source.
Quick Start
1. Insert the source device into the source slot, and any target devices\
 
    desired.
2. Turn on the unit.
3. After a self-diagnostic, the unit will scan all ports and start on the C\
opy 
    function.
4. Press OK to begin.
5. The Duplicator can operate in Asynchronous mode if it is able to contain 
all of the source data in internal memory – about 200MB. Otherwise it\
 will 
    operate in Direct mode.

For Direct mode:
 Once the Duplicator has analyzed the source device, it will scan for 
suitable target devices. While examining connected targets, the ports g\
reen 
LED will blink. If the device is suitable, the green LED will glow. If the device 
is unsuitable, the red LED will glow. The Display will show how many targets 
are ready.
  Press OK once all of the targets are ready to begin copying. The 
green LEDs will blink to indicate activity. Once copying is complete for a 
target, the green LED will glow to indicate copy succeeded or the red LE\
D 
will glow to indicate the copy failed.
For Asynchronous mode (default):
  Once the Duplicator has analyzed the source device, it will scan for 
suitable target devices. While examining a target device, the green LED \
will 
blink. If a target device is suitable, the green LED will continue to bl\
ink and 
the copy process will begin immediately. When a target is finished, the green 
LED will glow to indicate the copy succeeded, or the red LED will glow t\
o 
indicate the copy failed.
  Once a target devices port LED is glowing green or red, the device 
may be removed and another inserted in its place. The new device will be 
examined and copying will proceed. The LCD Display will show an ongoing 
tally of devices that passed and failed the copy process.
Duplicator Functions
The Duplicator menu has three sections: Main Menu, and Utility and Setup\
 
which are accessed as Main Menu Items 6 and 7.
Main Menu
1. Copy
Performs the Copy process as described in the Quick Start section. When \
the Copy function is on the menu display, it also shows the current setting for 
the Copy Area function in the Setup Menu: (Data) for the “System and Files”\
 
setting, or (Whole) for the “Whole Media” setting. For details, \
see 7.2. Copy 
Area.
2. Compare
Performs a full comparison between the target devices and the source 
device.

3. Copy+Compare
Performs both the Copy and Compare functions in a single step. Between 
the two functions the devices are all powered down for a duration set by\
 the 
Power Off Time Between Copy+Compare function in the Setup menu. 
Copy+Compare does not display the Copy Area setting.
4. Capacity Check
Performs a basic test on target devices to determine if they are functio\
ning 
properly. Does not report the status of the source device. Displays pass and 
fail counts, and number of drives remaining to test under “Capacity”\
 when in 
progress. When complete, each target port will show a green or red LED 
glowing to indicate which devices pass or fail. Using the arrow keys wil\
l 
show the status or capacity of each device.
Capacity Check does work in Asynchronous mode, so once its been 
activated, target devices can be removed when finished and more target 
devices can be inserted.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
5. Information
The Information function is actually a sub-menu with two functions:
5.1. USB Info.
Pressing OK for USB info will begin with a port number (beginning with \
[1], 
which is the SOURCE port). Use the arrow buttons to move between ports.\
 
As each port is selected, the unit will read a device if present, and re\
port on 
the capacity and file system found on that port.
5.2. System Info.
Displays the type of duplicator (by source and target count, for exampl\
e 1-7) 
and the firmware version.
Utility Menu
6.1. Do Format
Formats the target media using the following sub-options:
6.1.1. Auto Format
The Duplicator will format the media using the following rules:
If the media is formatted using one partition of either FAT16 or FAT32, the 
unit will simply reformat the media the same way.
If the media is not formatted using a FAT file system, it will be formatted as 
FAT16 if the capacity is under 2GB, or FAT32 if greater than 2TB.
6.1.2. FAT Format
The Duplicator will format the media as FAT16.
6.1.3. FAT32 Format
The Duplicator will format the media as FAT32.
Having chosen one of the three sub-options, press OK once more to confir\
m 
the choice or ESC to cancel.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.

6.2. Measure Speed
Estimates the read and write speed of the target media. After selecting this 
function, the port number in use will appear on the LCD, beginning with \
Port 
2 (the first target). Press the arrow buttons to switch between target\
s. Once a 
target is detected, the test will continue to run without accepting any \
more 
input until it is complete, then provide a short report on the read and \
write 
speed for the media found.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
6.3. Media Check
Performs a full examination of all space on target media using the follo\
wing 
sub-options:
6.3.1. H3 Safe
Performs a read-only examination of media, without harming any data.
6.3.2. H5 R/W
Performs a destructive read-write examination of media.
6.3.3. Setup Range
This option determines how much of the media is examined by the Media 
Check, expressed as a percentage. This percentage is shown in the Media 
Check menu for the Safe and R/W options. Default setting is 100%.
6.3.4. Set Error Limit
This option determines how much of the tested media may show an error 
before a media is counted as a FAIL. Expressed as a percentage of the 
tested area. The Default setting is 0.
Media Check uses Asynchronous Mode, meaning devices may be removed 
once tested and new media may be inserted after the process begins.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
6.4. Quick Erase
Erases all content on all target media, leaving the file system intact. \
Quick 
Erase only works on FAT16 or FAT32 file systems. Media formatted using 
other file systems will fail, leaving the data intact. Works in Asynchronous 
Mode, meaning media may be removed once erased and more may be 
inserted later.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
6.5. Full Erase
Erases all content on target media completely by overwriting all blocks \
with 
zeros, leaving the media unformatted when complete. Works in Asynchro-
nous Mode, meaning media may be removed once erased and more may be 
inserted later.
NOTE: NEVER remove a device while the LED is blinking.
6.6. DoD Erase
Performs a 3-pass sanitization of all media blocks compliant with DoD 
5220.22-M standards.
6.7. System Update
Performs a firmware update to the unit. Update procedure details to be 
released with the update itself. Briefly, insert a media into the device contain -
ing the binary firmware image, then press OK. When the process is comple\
te, 
turn the unit completely off, wait five seconds, then turn the unit back on.

6.8. Calc. Checksum
Calculates a checksum value for the  Copy Area function defined in the 
Setup Menu.
NOTE: This function is not to be used to validate copies. Media that have 
identical content and structure may still have different checksums. Testing 
media devices for accurate duplication should only be done using the 
Compare function.
Setup Menu
7.1. Startup Menu
Defines the function that will appear by default after power-on testing \
is 
completed. Any of the Main Menu functions may be selected.
Default is 1. Copy.
7.2. Copy Area
Determines the method for copying from the source device to the target 
devices: “Whole Media” copies the entire device, sector-by-sector \
– without 
any regard to the contents. “System and Files” copies only the con\
tents of 
file systems understood by the firmware: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2 or ext3. 
File systems not recognized by the firmware will be copied using the “\
Whole 
Media” method.
Default is “System and Files.”
7.3. Button Beep
Enables or disables the unit sounding a “beep” noise when buttons \
are 
pressed.
7.4. Asyn Hold Time
During operations that use Asynchronous Mode, this setting determines the 
delay after all media have been removed before confirming that an operat\
ion 
is complete. Once that delay has been expired, the operation will halt a\
nd 
the display will request confirmation to exit the function. Press OK to \
confirm 
the exit, ESC to resume the function.
Settings are “Turn OFF” to disable this feature, meaning Asynchronous 
functions will continue indefinitely until ESC is pressed, or a selectio\
n of 
delay in seconds or minutes.
Default is “Turn OFF.”
7.5. Target Tolerance
Used to define the acceptable difference in capacity during the copy func -
tion, using one of three settings:
No Limit: Target capacity will not be considered before proceeding.
100% Same: Target capacity will be considered suitable only if the capacity 
is identical to the source.
Allow tolerance: Selecting this option offers two additional choices: Set UP 
Limit allows either “No Limit” or a percentage greater than the so\
urce 
capacity. Set LOW Limit allows either “No Limit” or a percentage less than\
 
the source capacity.
The Target Tolerance menu item displays the current setting in parentheses. 
Default is “No Limit.”
NOTE: The size of the file system on the source is always duplicated with all \
contents. Target devices greater than or less than the source capacity will 
not reflect any changes to correct the difference.

7.9. Language
Sets the language used by the firmwares LCD display. Choices are 
English or Japanese.
Default is English.
7.10. Working Mode
Determines the approximate rate at which the Duplicator will attempt to \
copy media. Faster settings may shorten copy time but result in higher 
failure rates, slower settings will cause the process to take longer but\
 will 
improve the reliability of the copy.
Default is “Normal Mode.” Choices are: Slowest, Slower, Normal, Faster, 
Fastest.
7.11. Set HDD Mode
When enabled, all target devices will be required to be equal to or grea\
ter 
than the capacity of the source, overriding “LOW Limit” tolerance \
settings 
(see 7.5. Target Tolerance).
7.12. Restore Default
Returns all settings to their factory default values.
