Section 3 – Operating Procedures
3.1 – Operating Procedures
This section deals with normal procedures, and includes all steps necessary to ensure safe and efficient
operation of the TI200-PFC.
NOTE
!
Unit is not rated for engine starting. It is to be used for ground maintenance
only.
3.2 – General
Correct operation of the TI200-PFC includes both pre-use and operational checks of the unit. Knowledge
of the operating limits, restrictions, performance, unit capabilities and functions is fundamental to correct
and safe operation. The operator shall ensure compliance with the instructions in this manual that affect
operational safety and the warranty of the unit.
3.3 – Operating Limits and Restrictions
The minimum, maximum and normal operating ranges result from careful engineering and evaluation of
test data. These limitations must be adhered to during all phases of operation.
3.4 – Environmental
NOTE
!
If current demand exceeds 200 amps, converter output voltage will drop
below 28.5 Vdc and two or more LED status indicator bars will illuminate. If all
LED status indicator bars illuminate, the converter is supplying 24 Vdc power
output.
3.7 – Environmental
If the unit is exposed to moisture, preventive measures and precautions shall be taken to:
A. Prevent accumulation of moisture on ac and dc connectors/receptacles
B. Minimize moisture entering forward inlet and aft outlet cooling fan vent ports
Unit inlet and outlet vent ports shall be covered from exposure. Unit shall be kept horizontal. It is recommended
that the Tesla™ Protective Rain Cover be fi tted onto the unit to guard it from moisture (see Section 8). The limits
and operational constraints listed below shall apply for the following environmental (weather) conditions:
WARNING
Operating any electrical equipment in the presence of moisture creates
possible safety hazards and/or potential for equipment damage. Every
effort has been made, within the scope of existing technology to prevent
foreseeable safety hazards and make the unit moisture resistant to prevent
damage or failure.
