Page 8: Important Safety Inforamtion
Cautions identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the equipment. Handling Precautions WARNING Though the TS6 has short circuit protection, caution should always be used when working with battery powered products. It is recommended to wear safety glasses, fire retardant smocks, and use insulated tools when servicing the EBPS. - Page 9 Always use appropriate Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection while working with the TS6. There are no limitations in storing or using this TS6 in the vicinity of other battery chemistries. The TS6 does not emit or absorb any gas during storage, transportation or during normal operating conditions.

Page 10: Section 2 Pre-Installation Considerations
The TS6 EBPS is designed to mount in a pressurized and temperature-controlled environment. Although not required, optimum performance and life can be achieved by mounting the TS6 in a temperature-controlled section of the aircraft that does not require operation below -8°C. The unit is designed to withstand high levels of condensing humidity. -
Page 11: Modification
MODIFICATION This product has a nameplate that identifies the manufacturer, part number, description, certification(s) and technical specifications of the unit. It also includes the “MOD” or modification number representing notable changes in the hardware design of the unit. Modification (MOD) 0 is the initial release of the product and is identified on the nameplate by the lack of marking on the MOD numbers 1 through 9 (i.e. -
Page 12: Section 3 Installation
These instructions represent a typical installation and are not specific to any aircraft. PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION Unpacking: Carefully remove the TS6 battery from the shipping container. The shipping container and packing are designed specifically for the transit of NiMH batteries and approved by international transportation agencies. - Page 13 Use of PTFE, ETFE, TFE, Teflon or Tefzel insulated wire is recommended for aircraft use. Recommended wire sizes and types are identified in Table 3.1 below. Wire Size and Type Wire Gauge Wire Type Connector Pins 18-22 AWG Stranded Copper 9-pin Table 3.1 Wire Size and Type...

Page 17: Section 4 Operation
During normal aircraft operation, the TS6 EBPS will utilize the aircraft’s primary power bus to recharge or maintain existing charge at full capacity. The TS6 will pass the 28V input voltage through to the output via an internal diode. - Page 18 State of Charge (PIN 4) The State of Charge signal represents an estimated SOC for the internal cells with 0-10V representing 0-100% SOC respectively. This signal is active when aircraft power is available making the unit active, and while the unit is still active following a loss of input. Dispatch (PIN 5) The Dispatch signal asserts GND when the SOC is above 80%.

Page 20: Section 5 Conformance
SECTION 5 CONFORMANCE DISPATCH VERIFICATION AND IN-FLIGHT MONITORING The TS6 serves to provide power to an MD23 or other critical equipment upon loss of aircraft power. Typical installation will include monitoring through the MD23 application-specific user interface. For general installation without MD23, see the appropriate aircraft flight manual. -
Page 21: Storage Information
In normal use, the TS6 utilizes the aircraft power to maintain the proper charge voltage and sustain the battery cells at peak capacity. Although the chemistry of the cells used in the TS6 maintain an extremely low relative self-discharge rate, all batteries will slowly self-discharge if left unused for long periods. -
