3.6 – Temperature Speci cations

Cold/Hot Soaked Temperature

The ambient temperature that a unit is exposed to for one (1) hour or more 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.

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

NOTE

!

The unit is equipped with a temperature switch that 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

Operating Procedures

Low Power Demand

Low power demand is a requirement of less than 20 amps for the 12 Vdc output and 25 amps for the 24 Vdc
output. While power demands remain under these current levels, converter outputs will remain at 14.25 Vdc
and 28.5 Vdc and only one green LED on the Capacity Meters will illuminate.

High Power Demand

High power demand is a requirement of 20 amps or more for the 12 Vdc output and 25 amps for the 24 Vdc
output. When current demands go above these levels, the converter output voltages will drop and two or
more LED Capacity Meter bars will illuminate. At ap prox imately 20 amps of current demand for the 12 Vdc
output, the converter output voltage will be regulated to 12 Vdc. For the 24 Vdc output, approximately 40
amps of current will cause the converter to regulate the voltage to 24 Vdc. In both cases, the last red LED
on the Capacity Meter will illuminate.

!

NOTE

When all LED status indicator bars illuminate, both the converter and power
cells are supplying 24 Vdc power output for current demands above 25 amps
(or 20 amps for 12 Vdc).

Engine Starting

!

Prior to engine start, ensure power cell charge is sufcient to provide an efcient engine start. Check dc

Section 6 – Troubleshooting and FAQ

6.1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why should I buy a Tesla™ Turbo Start™ System?

Tesla™ Turbo Start™ is a multi-functional system that are ideal for support of 24 Vdc vehicles and aircraft and their
electronics/avionics on the bench. Tesla™ manufactures various systems of different sizes and capacities that are man­portable, maintenance free and provide pure, dc power in a completely safe package. Designed for Military applications,
these systems are equally valuable in maintenance support at the main facility or in remote locations. They are easily
transported and air-portable. They will also provide 28.5 Vdc when the system is connected to the appropriate ac source.

2. How does a Turbo Start™ work?

The Turbo Start™ combines state of the art power conversion electronics with our proprietary “dry cell” batteries. The
system’s electronics incorporate an intelligent charging system for the cells. The cells are ideal for this application as they
are non-spillable, absorbed electrolyte dry cells that are sealed, maintenance free and safe for air transport.

3. How is Turbo Start™ used in Aviation Support?

There are many ways a Turbo Start™ will bene t your operation. By using it for pre- ight testing, you will avoid depleting

the aircraft’s battery. You can start the aircraft’s engine with the Turbo Start™ as well. In the hangar, when connected to
ac power, the Turbo Start™ will provide 28.5 Vdc for avionics testing and will also recondition and recharge the aircraft’s

battery. Another bene t is the ability to  y with the Turbo Start™ aboard your aircraft. You may take the Turbo Start™

anywhere you travel, ensuring that you will always have power.

4. How much power will my Turbo Start™ provide?

Depending on the system, the Turbo Start™ will provide anywhere from 1500 to 3500 peak starting amps, 25 to 400
continuous amps dc and 23 to 96 hours of rechargeable power. See our website (www.teslaind.com) to determine the
proper Turbo Start™ for your needs.

5. Will a Tesla™ Turbo Start™ spool up a turbine engine?

Nothing will start a turbine engine faster or safer than the right Tesla™ Turbo Start™. Not only will it eliminate hot starts, but
it will extend the life of your starter, your engine and your battery while reducing maintenance. The Turbo Start™ senses the
impedance from the starter/generator. It then provides the exact power required throughout the start-up curve.

6. How many engine starts will my Turbo Start™ provide until it is depleted?

The Turbo Start™ back-charges, almost instantly, once the vehicle / aircraft is started and the generator is on line. This

“power  ywheel” feature enables the Turbo Start™ to recharge itself right from the vehicle it started in less than 30

seconds. You can go down the line in your motor pool and start every 24V vehicle, without limit!

7. How do you prolong the life of the Turbo Start’s cells?

All you need to do is plug the unit in to the appropriate ac power outlet the system requires. AC power will recharge the
system and keep the cells healthy. Users who regularly plug the system in can expect to get 5-7 years from their cells before
they need to be replaced. Tesla™ cells do not have a memory like cell phone batteries. There is no need to fully discharge
them. The recharging system will not overcharge the unit or produce excess heat.

8. Is it waterproof?

Water-resistant but not waterproof (See Environmental Section).

Section 7 – Performance Data

7.1 – Purpose

This section provides performance data for the unit. Continual reference to this information will enable the user
to obtain maximum performance, utilization and service life from the unit. Although maximum performance
is not always required, regular referral to this section is recommended for the following reasons:

To generate knowledge of unit’s performance margins to enable the operator to make sound judgment when A.
unexpected conditions or alternate operational requirements are encountered.

To enable the user to readily recognize situations requiring maximum performance.B.

To gain experience in accurately estimating the effects of variables for which data is not presented.C.

To help the operator determine if a vehicle or an aircraft system malfunction exists by comparing actual D.
performance with expected performance.

!

NOTE

The information provided in this section is primarily intended for operational
planning and is most useful when planning operations under unfamiliar
conditions or environmental extremes. The data may also be used to
establish local operating procedures and to ensure unit’s operational life is
maximized.

7.2 – General

The data presented covers the maximum range of conditions and performance that can reasonably be
expected. In each area of performance, the effects of temperature and dc electrical load demand relating to
the ground power support requirements are presented. Wherever practical, data is presented conservatively.
However, NO GENERAL CONSERVATISM HAS BEEN APPLIED. All performance data presented is within the
applicable limits of the unit

7.3 – Data Basis

The type of data used is indicated at the bottom of each performance chart under DATA BASIS. The applicable
report and date of the data are also given. The data provided generally are based on one of three categories:

Derived From Actual Controlled Testing: Controlled test data obtained on a similar unit type.A.

Calculated Data: Data based on tests, but not on a similar unit type placed under a controlled test.B.

Estimated Data: Data based on estimates using rules of physics, mathematics, and electrical engineering C.

principles and concepts, but not veri ed by tests.

7.4 – Speci c Conditions

The data presented are accurate only for speci c conditions listed under the title of each chart or graph.

Variables for which data are not presented, but which may affect that phase of performance, are discussed
in associated text. Where data is available or reasonable estimates can be made the amount that each
variable affect performance will be given.

7.5 – General Conditions

In addition to the speci c conditions, the following general conditions are applicable to the performance data.

Variation in Aircraft: Power demand differences between individual aircraft of the same make and model A.

are known to exist due to variations in dc electrical system ef ciency. These differences, however, are
considered insigni cant and are not individually accounted for.

Ground Support and Aircraft Instrument Variations: The data shown in the performance charts do not B.
account for instrument tolerance differences or inaccuracies.
