• IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER & OPERATING LIMITATIONS: Audio Authority® authorizes this device for use ONLY by aviation professionals, such as licensed pilots and maintenance technicians, knowledgeable about their aircraft electrical system and batteries. Aircraft electrical systems vary widely. Many aircraft electrical systems have been altered in the field from the original OEM configuration and these changes are often poorly documented in the aircraft records. The operational concepts, recommendations, and instructions presented here are necessarily general and make assumptions that do not apply to every aircraft, and may not be correct for your particular aircraft. Incorrect use of this device has the potential to damage the GPU and/or aircraft components. It is the operator’s responsibility to read completely and fully understand the manual, plus those sections of the Aircraft Flight Manual and Maintenance Manual that pertain to their aircraft’s electrical system design, to determine the appropriate use of this, or any, external power source. If you cannot do this, do not use this product. Instead, consult the airframe manufacturer or a technician familiar with your specific aircraft type and configuration before connecting a GPU to your aircraft.

Applications

• Powered preflight and battery top-off
• Battery charging and conditioning with BatteryMINDer charging system
• Cockpit procedures training NavData updates
• Cabin environmental systems
• General maintenance

Mfg Q&A

• Q: Can I use the 2835A to start an aircraft engine?

• A: The 2870A GPU is adequate for piston engine start ASSIST ONLY. Its capacity is inadequate for turbine engine start assist and should be used for airframe systems power only. Do not attempt turbine engine starts with the GPU connected to aircraft. See the User Manual for details.

• Q: Can I leave the BatteryMINDer connected for long periods of time?

• A: Yes, the BatteryMINDer is designed to remain connected and will not overcharge or damage your battery.

• Q: Does my GPU have Active Load Monitoring?

• A: This feature was introduced in January, 2015. All GPUs produced since then have the feature, and older GPUs can be upgraded at the factory for a fee. Details.

• Q: I have a Concorde battery - can I get a BatteryMINDer optimized for Concorde?

• A: Yes, you can change the charging profile on your 2835A-B1 to the Concorde specific setting. Call us for instructions.

• Q: Does the GPU with BatteryMINDer work outside North America?

• A: The GPU itself may be used with almost any voltage, but the internal BatteryMINDer is only compatible with a 100-127V AC power source. In countries with other voltage standards, a compatible BatteryMINDer must be purchased and used separately.
