During engine starts, engine shut-downs and during some aircraft test procedures, the aircraft 28V supply may become intermittent, unreliable or simply not available. RT-Backup has been designed to automatically and seamlessly compensate for these aircraft voltage fluctuations to provide a stable and reliable power source by instantly switching to its internal batteries.
As a standalone 28V DC supply, RT-Backup can be used to power Rotortuners without the need to connect large ground power units or use aircraft batteries.
RT-Backup incorporates lithum battery technology to acheive a long in-service life, excellent low temperature performance and a short recharging time.
The RT Backup has its own built-in charging circuitry operating from supply voltages between 11V DC to 32V DC. RT-Backup will automatically activate the charging circuit upon availability of a suitable supply such as the aircraft or Rotortuner 28V AC Adaptor Pn.007920. LED displays on the front panel indicate the charging status and remaining battery capacity.
The unit is designed to be operated either standing vertically or laying down on its rear surface. Rubber feet are provided for both mounting options along with twin mounting lugs to restrain the unit using 30mm web strapping.
