Battery health
Voyager’s firmware monitors and controls critical operations of the battery. If a fault is detected, the firmware
disconnects the battery and communicates its status through the LCD.
▪
If cell temperature exceeds 95° C, Voyager will electronically disconnect and the LCD will display
the yellow backlight and the text,
“OFFLINE OVERTEMP.” Operators should discontinue use
and allow the Voyager to cool. Voyager will reconnect and the LCD will show the state of charge
when cell temperature returns to operational levels.
▪
If current levels exceed Voyager
’s specifications, the battery will electronically disconnect and the
LCD will display a yellow backlight and the text,
“OFFLINE OVERLOAD.” To reset the Voyager,
the operator should power Voyager “off,” wait ten seconds, then power Voyager “on.”
▪
If Voyager requires service, the battery will electronically disconnect and the LCD will display a
red backlight and the text, “SERVICE.” Operators should discontinue use and contact Avion
Power.
Operation
Voyager is mechanically compatible with any aircraft that has a standard NATO power receptacle; it is
designed to meet the starting requirements of many reciprocating, pneumatic, and electronic controlled
(ECU) turbine aircraft engines. Voyager can also provide sufficient power for many ground-based activities.
WARNING
: Un-plug Voyager before takeoff.
CAUTION:
Avion Power provides operating specifications for each Voyager model. It is the operator’s
responsibility to ensure that these specifications are adequate to complete the task for which Voyager
is being used.
CAUTION:
Voyager’s operating temperature range is between -20° C and 60° C. If Voyager has
cooled below -20° C, the operator should warm Voyager before use.
CAUTION:
Inspect Voyager’s terminals to ensure that debris or lubricant has not collected inside the
NATO connector.
CAUTION:
Make sure that a Voyager inserted into an aircraft’s external power receptacle is adequately
secured.
CAUTION:
Voyager’s voltage must be compatible with the aircraft. 26V Voyagers are not compatible
with 12V aircraft. 12V Voyagers are not compatible with 28V aircraft.
CAUTION:
Operators should monitor the state of charge while using Voyager as a ground power unit.
NOTE:
Refer to Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) and Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) for guidance on
external power sources.
