Page 10: Section 2 Pre-Installation Considerations
The conditions and tests for TSO approval of the TS28 are minimum performance standards. Those installing the TS28, on or in a specific type or class of aircraft, must determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards. TSO compliant products must receive additional installation approval prior to being operated on each aircraft. -

Page 14: Section 4 Operation
Refer to Section 3.4 for external connection to aircraft controls. 4.2.1 Input bus present If the input bus is present, it will pass through to the output of the TS28 and maintain or charge the backup batteries. When charging, the load on the aircraft system is approximately 0.7 A during fast charge and 0.2 A during trickle charge, falling to zero when... -

Further, the use of modern NiMH technology in the TS28 provides for extremely low self- discharge, producing a long shelf life and on-demand state of charge after periods of non-use. -
Page 16: Maintenance
Additionally, True Blue Power recommends conducting this procedure at any time when the capacity of the unit is in question or after being utilized in an in-flight emergency situation. For more details on the charging and capacity check, see Section 5.2. -
Page 17: Section 5 Conformance
To charge the TS28, apply 28V to pin A and ground to pin B. To discharge the TS28, apply a load on pin C or D referenced to pin B. The TS28 charge current is between 0.80 A to 0.60 A at the start of charge and the current will rise. This rise will have 1 or 2 sharp step downs in current, but the charge is not complete until the unit reaches less than 0.02 A. -
Page 18: Component Maintenance
Calculate capacity using this formula ���������������� = COMPONENT MAINTENANCE The individual components such as the cells, electronics, or hardware that comprise the TS28 EBPS are not user serviceable. However, the battery pack assembly (MCIA p/n 9019931) is field replaceable. See Figure 5.1 below for instructions on removal and replacement. -
Page 19: Storage Information
Rechargeable NiMH batteries should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area. The unit can be stored in the same area as other battery chemistries. The TS28 does not emit or absorb any gas during storage, transportation, or during normal operating conditions. -
Page 20: End Of Life
Avoid over-discharging NiMH batteries, as it can shorten their lifespan. • Do not attempt to charge battery pack (9019931) outside of the TS28 EBPS or damage can occur to the cells. End of life is represented by the inability of the unit to meet the minimum capacity requirement of the aircraft as tested during capacity verification per Section 5.2. -
