GPU 12 / 24V GA - Starter unit
Produced in partnership with Powervamp, the 12/24V GA Pack is a tough, budget-priced, dual voltage aircraft start unit designed for the private owner and general aviation operator. It uses the same high quality, high-discharge batteries as used in our premium aviation product range. Ideal for smaller turbine aircraft and helicopter operators, all piston aircraft, or where the starting of 24V trucks and 12V vehicles is also a requirement.
Typical applications:
- Protect the on-board batteries
- Several starts per day
- Take off reliably
The powerful dry-cell batteries are isolated via the internal 500A key switch allowing the aircraft start unit to be cleared for air-transportation. An externally mounted 750A fuse offers protection against excessive use or a dead short across the output cables.
The impact resistant polyethylene case allows the start unit to sit in snow or flooded sites up to 300mm (12in) deep without water ingress. The 12/24V GA Pack is supplied with an external 10A charger and two lead sets for both aircraft and automotive applications.
The solid state LED display shows battery status when the pack is switched on. An audible reverse polarity alarm warns against incorrect connection.
Optional accessories include longer lead sets and an on board charging kit (OBCK) to allow the pack to be charged via any automotive 12V DC vehicle cigarette/auxiliary socket.
