  • Page 20: Normal Functional Test Procedures

    This section involves “normal function” test proce dures, and includes steps necessary to ensure that the TI206 MPU-24 is operating within specified para meters prior to use. A digital multimeter (an example is shown in Figure 3.9.1) capable of measuring dc and ac voltage and resistance will be required to perform some of the tests.

    Section 4 – Post Operation 4.1 – General Although the TI206 MPU-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.
  • Page 26 The TI206 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 TI206 MPU-24’s internal charger and the AC power cord furnished with the equipment, or when connected to aircraft’s external DC power receptacle.
  • Page 27: Section 5 - Unit Care And Maintenance

    Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Extremely Damp Environments Be sure to disconnect ac power from the ac source if the TI206 MPU-24 has come into contact with water. If the AC Input Circuit Breaker has tripped due to water infiltration, allow the unit to dry out before attempting to reset circuit breaker.

    2. Do the cells have memory? The cells have no memory. The user can plug the TI206 MPU-24 into ac for charging regardless of the unit’s current state of charge. The intelligent charger will keep a fully charged battery by trickle charging. Keeping a fully charged TI206 MPU-24 plugged into AC when not in use will prolong the life of the batteries.
  • Page 30 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.
  • Page 31 Reset breaker by pressing red button. Reconnect ac and dc connections to the unit. (Plug in ac line cord on unit.) The unit should power up automatically. If the breaker continues to trip, return the unit to Tesla™ Industries for repair. TI206 MPU-24...
