4.2 – Engine Starting Power 

Operators should always ensure the unit is charged above 80% prior to ground support engine starting.  

However, circumstances may exist during use where unit recharge is not readily available and immediate 

external engine starting power is required.  The following provides minimum states of charge necessary to 

provide ample power for an efficient engine start under specific current load demands.

Section 3 – Operating Procedures

3.1 – Operating Procedures 

This section covers normal procedures and steps necessary to ensure safe and effi cient operation of the 

unit. 

NOTE

!

When not in use, the unit should always remain plugged into a suitable ac 

power source to ensure operational readiness at all times.

NOTE

!

If current demand exceeds 25 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, both the converter and power cells are 

supplying 24 Vdc power output.

3.2 – General 

The user should be well-versed in both pre-use and functional checks for correct operations of this unit. 

Knowledge of the operating limits, restrictions, performance, unit capabilities and functions aids in correct 

and safe operations. Compliance with the instructions in this manual affect operational safety as well as 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 – Performance

Refer to Section 7, PERFORMANCE DATA to determine the capability of the unit.  Consideration must be given 

to changes in performance resulting from variations in ambient temperature, mode of operation, state of 

charge (with or without ac power), and aircraft dc bus system ineffi ciency (voltage drops).

3.5 – Engine Starting Power 

The unit should always be charged above 80% prior to ground support engine starting.  However, circumstances 

may exist during use where unit recharge is not readily available and immediate external engine starting 

power is required.  The following provides minimum states of charge necessary to provide ample power for 

an effi cient engine start under specifi c current load demands.

Section 4 – Operation Procedures

If current demand exceeds 10 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, both the converter and power cells are 

supplying 24 Vdc power output.
