Engine Start
Setting the Engine Start parameters provides ARINC and discrete signal that indicates that
the required amount of energy and peak current, given the existing environmental conditions
and state of the battery, is available to complete a full engine start. This indication is useful to
avoid a potential ‘hot start’ with a turbine engine due to the battery depleting before
completing the start sequence. Coordinate with the manufacturer to determine the proper
Engine Start parameter values based on specific engine start characteristics.
o
The first Engine Start parameter is Start Energy required. An Engine Start
parameter of 0Wh bypasses evaluating the energy for an engine start.
o
The second Engine Start parameter is Engine Start Peak Current required. An
Engine Start Peak Current parameter of 0A bypasses evaluating the maximum
current required for an engine start.
The Engine Start parameters are not required to be programmed; they are both set to 0
(disabled) as the initial factory default.
Event Log
The True Blue Power Advanced Lithium-ion Battery is designed with software features
providing downloadable event logging capability which captures fault and failure events as
well as high current discharges typically occurring during engine starts. The event log can
capture approximately 74,000 time stamped events available for downloading to a USB 2.0
compatible flash drive. If the number of events exceeds the maximum number of events, then
older events are overwritten. Downloading events can only be done while the battery is not in
flight and is in Control Mode (see Section 4.3.2).
To download the event log onto a USB flash drive, follow instructions in Section 5.3.4.
Contact True Blue Power for further details with respect to the event log.
