The TI47UH1 MPU-24’s power cells may be damaged if recharged by NiCad or Lead Acid-type battery chargers. Power cells should only be charged by either the TI47UH1 MPU-24’s internal charger and the ac power cord furnished with the equipment, or when connected to aircraft’s external dc power receptacle.
Do not cut, crush, or drag the input or output power cables when handling the unit. Always inspect cables prior to use. If no damage is evident, proceed to the next step. If damage is evident, contact Tesla™ Customer Service. Do not attempt to use any other type of power cables other than the Tesla™ cables included with the unit.
Ensure proper packaging when returning the MPU. Transport the unit only in a sturdy shipping crate or Tesla™ Shipping Case. It is important to enclose the Repair Request Form. Seal the crate on all sides and return it to Tesla™ at the address listed below. Please contact Tesla™ Customer Service at (302) 324-8910 with any questions or concerns.
5. Will a Tesla™ Turbo Start™ spool up a turbine engine? Nothing will start a turbine engine faster or safer than the right Tesla™ Turbo Start™. Not only will it eliminate hot starts, but it will extend the life of your starter, your engine and your battery while reducing maintenance. The Turbo Start™ senses the impedance from the starter/generator.
