THEORY OF OPERATION Continued
ENGINE STARTING SYSTEM Continued
The DC battery system provides 24 Vdc for engine starting and TQG control circuits. The two 12 Vdc batteries are charged
by the engine alternator. The DC AMMETER on the EMCP indicates alternator charging rate. Charge rate is shown from
25 amperes to +50 amperes, in 5 ampere increments. Normal operating indication depends on the state of charge in the
batteries. A low charge, such as exists immediately after engine starting, will cause a high reading. The battery system
includes a manually operated Battery Disconnect Switch to isolate the batteries from the engine. The Battery Disconnect
Switch can be used to remove DC power from the TQG. Battery condition is also shown on the EMCP lower display
ENGINE METER function. The batteries connect directly to the 24 Vdc NATO slave receptacle.
