The units are designed to take the heavy abuse that occurs with frequent transportation by road or air and their flush sides and buttressed full-length handles prevent snagging in confined spaces. A heavy-duty push/pull isolator switch with replaceable copper contacts ensures maximum power transfer with minimum voltage drop. The lockable ‘R’ clip ensures the aircraft start unit is cleared for air transportation. These aircraft start units are designed to be carried on board for emergency power or turbine starting and are fitted with dual 12V DC automatic 3-stage internal chargers for maximum cell longevity. Suitable for starting all APUs and medium size free turbines. GPU 1700 TWIN AND GPU 2400 TWIN In use worldwide, the GPU 1700 Twin and GPU 2400 Twin packs are recognized by relief agencies operating in extreme environments as the best portable aircraft start units for DC aircraft and helicopters requiring a 24V DC or external 24/48V DC parallel/series start. The twin units provide 64 Ah (GPU 1700 Twin) or 86 Ah (GPU 2400 Twin) for increased starting capability. With the use of an optional second Nato plug lead set, they can be deployed individually or used where an aircraft requires a parallel start, and will also start all APUs and large free turbines.
