Overview

In continuous production for more than 20 years and in military use worldwide, this proven aircraft start unit uses a tough, corrosion resistant, all stainless steel case reinforced for harsh operations in remote and saline environments.

Produced in partnership with Powervamp, the GPU 2400 is designed to take the heavy abuse that occurs with frequent transportation by road or air and its flush sides and buttressed full-length handle 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.

This aircraft start unit is designed to be carried on board for emergency power or turbine starting and is fitted with dual 12V DC automatic 3-stage internal chargers for maximum cell longevity. Suitable for starting all APUs and medium size free turbines.

The GPU 2400 is fitted with solid state voltmeter with ‘push to view’ button to monitor battery voltage. Supplied with NATO lead set, charge lead and heavy-duty canvas protective jacket.

  • NOTE: ** Peak amps is a theoretical calculation of the instantaneous current from a momentary dead short across the battery terminals. It is not representative of the power delivered at the aircraft plug which is significantly less, due to cable losses and other factors. It is a figure of no useful value to the operator and is shown only for comparative purposes.**
