Section 4 – Post Operation
4.1 – General
Although the TI5100 GPU-24 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
Connect AC Power Cord to Unit
Ensure 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.
NOTE
!
The TI5100 GPU-24 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 TI5100 GPU-24 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.
