1-3. DESCRIPTION
This manual contains the complete operating instructions and proce­dures for the TI4100GPU-24 (Turbo Start 4100) ground power unit. The Turbo Start 4100 is intended to provide DC electrical ground power for aircraft flight line and maintenance ground support operations. The unit is designed to provide 24 volt DC electrical power output for aircraft engine starting and 24 or 28.5 volts DC electrical sup­port for ground maintenance, avionics/electrical trouble shooting and testing. The observance of procedures, limitations and performance criteria is essential to ensure peak operating efficiency and to maximize operational capabilities and life of the Turbo Start 4100 ground power unit.

CHAPTER 2
UNIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SECTION I. UNIT
2-1. GENERAL
The TI4100GPU-24 (Turbo Start 4100) (Figure 2-1 and 2-2) is a compact, por­table and highly versatile 24/28.5 VDC electrical ground power unit. The unit incorporates a 208-240 single phase VAC to 28.5 VDC converter, a 24 volt unique (dry) power cell and an internal intelligent 208 to 240 volt AC charger to recharge the power cells. These built-in features give the Turbo Start 4100 self-sufficiency and mobility for short-term operations without AC electrical power or long term operations with AC electrical power. Short term operations rely solely on power cell output and the fast recharge rates that the unit’s internal charger provides from any standard 208-240 single phase VAC electrical outlet. Longer term operations incorporate the continu­ous 100 amp output of the 208-240 VAC to 28.5 VDC converter, or a combination of converter and power cell output to provide 24 VDC output. The following are the unit’s four (4) main operational support capabilities:
a. 24 VDC 1500 amp peak power output for engine starting or constant (one hour) rated power output (without a 208-240 VAC power source) for short term trouble shooting and flexible flight line support ground power.
b. 24 VDC constant (one hour) rated power output or variable high load de­mand output (less than one hour) with a 208-240 single phase VAC power source for extended maintenance (hangar) and routine flight line maintenance, ground support power.
c. 28.5 VDC continuous rated (AC to DC converter) power output with a 208­240 VAC power source for hangar and routine flight line maintenance support, and avionics bench testing.
d. Rapid recharge of the unit’s power cells from any 208-240 VAC common power source. This feature eliminates the need for special recharge equip­ment and dedicated maintenance support man-hours.

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 TI4100GPU­24 (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. Com­pliance with these limitations and restrictions will ensure that own­ers/operators obtain maximum continued capability from the Turbo Start 4100 ground power unit.
SECTION II. OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND SAFETY LIMITS
3-3. POWER CELL RECHARGE LIMITS
Any time the unit’s power cells are discharged the unit shall be recharged within 24 hours to prevent performance degradation and en­sure maximum life.
CAUTION
This unit is set up to recharge off of 208-240 Single Phase 50/60 Hz
VAC Power. Any other type of AC power may cause damage to the unit.
Unit’s power cells may be damaged if recharged by NiCad or Lead Acid-
type battery chargers. Power cells should only be charged by either
the TURBO START internal charger and the AC power cord furnished with
the equipment, or when connected aircraft external DC power recep-
tacle.
3-1
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. The AC power cord provided with the unit is the mechanism that ensures the specified AC power source is properly supplied to the unit (see para­graph 3-5). Use no others
INTERNAL CHARGER: NO LIMIT AC power cord can remain connected when power cells are fully charged. When the power cells are fully charged the unit’s intelligent charger will go to a standby mode, monitor the power cells state of charge, and only charge the power cells to ensure they stay at maximum capacity.
INTERNAL AC TO DC CONVERTER: LIMITED (see paragraph 3-6, 3-8 and 3-10). AC power cord does not have to be disconnected when con­verter power output is no longer required. Once DC power demand is terminated the unit’s intelligent charger will remain on line to ensure power cells are charged to maximum capacity.
CAUTION

3-5 AC POWER CORD LIMITS
The AC power cord governs which AC power source the unit is set to operate from. The Turbo Start 4100 is supplied with a single cus­tomer specified AC power cord.
