FEBRUARY 2016 AviationPros.com 27 PRODUCT PROFILE crews who are already using the system for another piece of equipment will be presented with the same display and icons—this was put into place to limit human error when operating equipment. Pioneering Product Design Because the 2400 Power Coil is designed as an encased unit, it is less susceptible to effects from exposure to the elements, such as sunlight and harsh weather, effectively minimizing maintenance costs. ITW GSE is the only company that offers this unique voltage quality. The voltage control starts at the aircraft plug. Equipped with ITW GSE's patented Plug & Play system, there is automatic compensa- tion for voltage drops along 400 Hz cables. This was designed to ensure—one thing that every airport strives for—on-time departures, as the voltage at the aircraft connector is kept within 115±3V. If the voltage falls out of the required range, the aircraft rejects the ground power unit holding up crews on-ground and on-board. The Plug and Play works within milliseconds, frst ana- lyzing a number of parameters and adjusts the voltage to level out to optimum voltage directly at the aircraft plug. The Plug & Play operates in simple steps accessed through ITW GSE icon based user interface: • The ground power units output cable is connected to the calibration plug and power up the ground power unit • Once the screen has powered up and displays the "ready for use" message, the menu is accessed by pressing the center button for 5 seconds • The arrows are used to scroll through the options and the operator presses the center button again to enter the perime- ter list to get to the compensation type. Compensation type can be adjusted and selected by plug and play • Heading back to the menu and select to identify the output cable • Once cable has been identifed and cali- brated it can be started—operates simply need to remember to remove the output cable from the calibration plug.
