Troubleshooting & FAQ
9. Why does the cooling fan run continuously when the MPU is plugged into ac power?
Why does the cooling fan slow down?
The cooling fan speed varies to regulate the temperature of the internal circuitry when plugged into an ac power source.
10. Can one person transport it?
Micro Power Units are designed to be handled by one person. The TI206 MPU-24 provides a rugged nylon strap attached to
the top of the unit that helps easily transport and place into aircrafts. See Section 5.6 for more information.
11. Is the TI206 MPU-24 in the government purchasing system?
Yes. Tesla Industries is an approved vendor/supplier – our cage code is OVWE2. Most Tesla™ products are class IX, have a
NSN (National Stock Number) designation and can be acquired through the DLA (Defense Logistics Agency).
12. How long does this unit stay charged?
Unit should never be allowed to discharge fully. In-field use, it receives a dc back charge directly from a running engine.
When not in use, unit should be plugged into ac power (outlet) all the time. Tesla systems will retain 80% of their capacity
after one year of storage.
13. How do I get my TI206 MPU-24 serviced?
Contact Tesla™. We can be reached at (302) 324-8910. Ask for customer service. You can also email us at
[email protected]. Once we receive the unit at our facility, we will examine it. Systems that are protected under warranty
will be repaired at no charge. If the warranty has expired, you will receive a quote for necessary repairs prior to work being
done. Our turnaround time is 48 hours once repairs are authorized.
14. Can I make my own repairs to unit?
During the warranty period, the unit can only be repaired by Tesla™ Industries for the warranty to remain in effect.
Regardless, we strongly recommend allowing Tesla™ to repair any unit as we will analyze the complete system and re-
calibrate it.
15. What type of maintenance does the TI206 MPU-24 require?
Although the systems are maintenance free, please keep units plugged in while not in use. This will greatly extend the life
of the cells. Also, keep the vent areas clean and free of debris. Keep units in a well ventilated area while charging. Keep the
unit in a protected environment when not in use (maintenance facility, shed).
16. What is included with my TI206 MPU-24?
Customers receive an ac line cord for their home country and a full three year warranty.
17. Are there any HAZMAT issues or disposability problems?
There are none. Tesla will reclaim all battery cells for disposability purposes. Contact Tesla™ if you have questions.
