This is normal due to extremely low battery voltage. The conditions and test required for TSO approval of this article 
are minimum performance standards. It is the responsibility of those desiring to install this article either on or within a 
specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards.

 

The 

article may be installed only if installation of the article is approved by the Administrator. The functions of Volts, Amps, 
and Horse Power were tested to DO-160D and DO-178B, but not TSO’d since no TSO exist for these functions. 
Deviation granted for TSO-C49b to include digital display and sensor. All TSO required probes, transmitters and 
sensors also tested to DO-160D.
