RT-Backup

Introducing the RT-Backup: Reliable power on-the-go

The RT-Backup is a robust, lightweight, and portable power solution designed for aviation needs. It serves as a 28V DC power source and voltage regulator, ensuring reliable power for up to 30 minutes for up to two Rotortuner products. This unit is perfect for maintaining a stable 28V DC supply even when aircraft voltage fluctuates.

Description

Key features

Seamless power supply

During aircraft operations and testing, fluctuations in the 28V supply can occur, especially during engine tests. The RT-Backup compensates for these variations by switching to its internal lithium batteries, providing a stable and dependable power source.

Stand-alone functionality

Eliminate the need for large ground power units or aircraft batteries with the RT-Backup. It can independently power Rotortuners, making it an ideal tool for efficient maintenance and testing.

Advanced Lithium battery technology

Featuring lithium batteries, the RT-Backup offers long service life, excellent performance in low temperatures, and quick recharging. The built-in charging circuitry operates from a range of 12V DC to 29V DC, activating automatically when a suitable power source is available.

User-friendly design

The RT-Backup can be operated vertically or laid down on its rear surface. It includes rubber feet for stability and twin mounting lugs for secure attachment using 30mm web strapping.
