    CHAPTER 3 OPERATING LIMITS AND RESTRICTIONS SECTION I. GENERAL 3-1. PURPOSE Chapter 3 includes all important operating limits and restrictions that must be observed for proper and safe operation of the TI4100GPU- 24 (Turbo Start 4100) ground power unit. 3-2. GENERAL The operating limitations set forth in this chapter are the direct result of design analysis, testing, and operating experience.
  • Page 11 3-4. 208-240 VAC CHARGER AND AC TO DC CONVERTER LIMITS The unit is designed with a single point AC receptacle for external power to operate both the internal charger and converter. The units AC voltage range can be factory set from 208 to 240 VAC SINGLE PHASE 30 AMPS MAX at 50/60 Hz depending upon customer requirements.
  • Page 12 WARNING ********SHOCK HAZARD POTENTIAL********* Failure to use proper grounding can cause a potential shock hazard! In different countries, the 240 VAC 50/60 Hz power cord may require the use of a plug adapter to achieve plug style compatibility for 240 VAC 50/60 Hz operation. Use only adapters with proper ground- ing mechanism.
  • Page 13 3-8. CONTINUOUS OUTPUT RATE, 28.5 VDC CONSTANT OUTPUT 100 amp hours (with AC power connected) NOTE If current demand exceeds 100 amps, converter output voltage will drop below 28.5 VDC and two or more LED status indicator bars will illuminate. If all LED status indicator bars illuminate, both the converter and power cells are supplying 24 VDC power output (see paragraph 3-4 and 4-7.4.).
  • Page 14 CAUTION Unit may be damaged if operated when unit’s cold or heat soaked tem- perature exceed the specified limit. If unit is operated when cold or heat soaked temperature limit is exceeded, a full functional check should be accomplished prior to continued use. NOTE If unit should overheat, an over-temperature sensor will shut down 208-240 VAC functions (charger and converter) until unit cools to...
  • Page 15 WARNING ********SHOCK HAZARD POTENTIAL********* Severe injury, or Death, from electrical shock is possible when per- sonnel and/or Turbo Start 4100 are wet during use and when 208-240 VAC power is being supplied to unit. CAUTION Damage may occur if unit is operated after exposure to moisture (rain, drizzle, fog, sleet or snow) or moisture contamination is sus- pected.
