Skin:

Sulfuric Acid: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing completely, including shoes.

If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes.

Lead: Wash immediately with soap and water.

Eyes:

Sulfuric Acid and Lead: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes while lifting lids

Seek immediate medical attention if eyes have been exposed directly to acid.

V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point: N/A Flammable Limits: LEL = 4.1% (Hydrogen Gas)

UEL = 74.2% (Hydrogen Gas)

Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide; foam; dry chemical. Avoid breathing vapors. Use appropriate media for surrounding fire.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:

If batteries are on charge, shut off power. Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Water applied to electrolyte generates
heat and causes it to spatter. Wear acid-resistant clothing, gloves, face and eye protection.
Note that strings of series connected batteries may still pose risk of electric shock even when charging equipment is shut down.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:

Highly flammable hydrogen gas is generated during charging and operation of batteries. To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other
sources of ignition away from batteries. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive terminals of cells and
batteries. Follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and service.

VI. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Spill or Leak Procedures:

Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth, and vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. If possible, carefully
neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves, and face shield. Do not
allow discharge of unneutralized acid to sewer. Acid must be managed in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements.
Consult state environmental agency and/or federal EPA.

VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:

Unless involved in recycling operations, do not breach the casing or empty the contents of the battery.
There may be increasing risk of electric shock from strings of connected batteries.
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. If battery case is broken, avoid contact with internal components.
Keep vent caps on and cover terminals to prevent short circuits. Place cardboard between layers of stacked automotive batteries to avoid damage and short circuits.
Keep away from combustible materials, organic chemicals, reducing substances, metals, strong oxidizers and water. Use banding or stretch wrap to secure items for
shipping.

Storage:

Store batteries in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas with impervious surfaces and adequate containment in the event of spills. Batteries should
also be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather conditions. Separate from incompatible materials. Store and handle only
in areas with adequate water supply and spill control. Avoid damage to containers. Keep away from fire, sparks and heat. Keep away from metallic objects which
could bridge the terminals on a battery and create a dangerous short-circuit.

Charging:

There is a possible risk of electric shock from charging equipment and from strings of series connected batteries, whether or not being charged. Shut-off power to
chargers whenever not in use and before detachment of any circuit connections. Batteries being charged will generate and release flammable hydrogen gas.
Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery vent caps in position. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby.
Wear face and eye protection when near batteries being charged.

This section covers normal procedures and steps necessary to ensure safe and ef cient operation of the

unit.

NOTE

!

When not in use, the unit should always remain plugged into a suitable ac
power source to ensure operational readiness at all times.

NOTE

!

If current demand exceeds 25 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.

3.2 – General

The user should be well-versed in both pre-use and functional checks for correct operations of this unit.
Knowledge of the operating limits, restrictions, performance, unit capabilities and functions aids in correct
and safe operations. Compliance with the instructions in this manual affect operational safety as well as the
warranty of the unit.

3.3 – Operating Limits and Restrictions

The minimum, maximum and normal operating ranges result from careful engineering and evaluation of test
data. These limitations must be adhered to during all phases of operation.

3.4 – Performance

Refer to Section 7, PERFORMANCE DATA to determine the capability of the unit. Consideration must be given
to changes in performance resulting from variations in ambient temperature, mode of operation, state of

charge (with or without ac power), and aircraft dc bus system inef ciency (voltage drops).

If current demand exceeds 10 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.

Operating Procedures

Hot Soaked or Cold Soaked De nition

Simple terms: When a material is exposed to a change in temperature, its temperature will also change.

Some material changes temperature quickly, others slowly. If the ambient temperature changes and is then

held constant, the materials temperature will also change until its temperature stabilizes. Once the material
temperature has stabilized, it is considered “soaked”.

Example: A unit is moved from the cool shade into the hot sun. That unit’s temperature will increase until it
stabilizes. Once stabilized, the unit would be considered “hot soaked”.

NOTE

!

The unit’s temperature switch automatically disables ac power functions

when the internal temperature is above 150°F (65°C). This protects the unit

from overheating and damage. If the unit shuts down, move the unit into a
cooler climate, such as shade or air conditioning when possible. Perform a
full function test prior to use after the unit has been allowed to cool.

3.6 – Temperature Speci cations

Cold/Hot Soaked Temperature

Exposing the unit for one (1) hour or more to the ambient temperature establishes the unit’s cold/hot
soaked stabilization temperature. If the unit’s cold/hot soaked temperature is outside the normal operating
temperature range, the unit must be stabilized prior to operation. For COLD SOAKED tem perature stabilization,
the unit must be placed in an environment with a temperature above +10°C (+41°F) for 3 hours or a

temperature above +20°C (+68°F) for 2 hours. For HOT SOAKED temperature stabilization, the unit must

be placed in an environment with a temperature below +38°C (+100°F) for 1 hour.

Plugging in with AC Power

When the TI1000 GPU-24 UAV is plugged into ac power, the output is 28.5 volts. This voltage allows the
system to recondition and recharge the vehicle’s battery(s). It is also an optimum voltage for powering
avionics and lighting on most aircraft. The GPU’s ac to dc converter produces continuous amps of dc power
depending on the size of the system.

!

NOTE

Check Input Voltage Selector Switch for proper setting.

Connect AC Power Cord To Unit

Ensure 120 or 240 Vac power cord is properly connected to an approved ac power supply. After approximately
5-8 seconds, unit’s LED status indicator will illuminate indicating power cell state of charge. Cooling fan will
operate. Ensure LED status indicator and cooling fan is operational prior to continuing.
