Section 4 – Post Operation

4.1 – General 

Although the TI1000 GPU-24 UAV has been ruggedized and made weather resistant within the scope of unit’s 

intended use, it is essential that good general care be taken to maintain unit in good operating condition and 

to maximize unit’s operational life.

4.2 – After Use

Unit should be protected from environmental elements and man made hazards.  Ideally unit should be secured 

in a building or shed. Most importantly, unit shall be fully covered if stored while exposed to environmental 

elements.

4.3 – Power Cell Recharge

NOTE

!

The TI1000 GPU-24 UAV incorporates a backcharge feature that enables 

the unit to be recharged from the vehicle once the engine is started and 

the starter/generator is running. This feature will enable you to start 

multiple vehicles without reconnecting to ac power if the GPU is allowed to 

backcharge for approximately 30 seconds. 

NOTE

!

Plug the TI1000 GPU-24 UAV into ac power to keep the cells charged 

whenever it is not in use, even if it is at Full Charge.  The unit will not 

overcharge or overheat.

Connect AC Power Cord to Unit

NOTE

!

Check Input Voltage Selector Switch for proper setting.

Ensure 120 or 240 Vac power cord is properly connected to an approved ac power supply.  After approximately 

5-8 seconds, ensure unit’s LED status indicator illuminates indicating power cell state of charge and cooling 

fan is operating.
Any time the unit’s power cells are fully discharged the unit shall be recharged within 24 hours to prevent 

performance degradation and ensure maximum life.
