Duncan Aviation Offers JET PS835 Emergency Power Supply Replacement with Special Introductory Pricing

July 1, 2010

LINCOLN, NEB — JET PS835 power supplies have been an industry standard for emergency batteries across many different airframes since the mid to late 70's. Problems with unit age, repair costs, parts availability and airworthiness requirements are becoming more challenging for operators.

"They're becoming unreliable, expensive to overhaul and harder to maintain," says Karl Detweiler, Accessory Product Development Manager at Duncan Aviation-Lincoln. "Older PS823 units aren't supported anymore. Replacements are hard to find and they're expensive."

Securaplane Technologies' XL244D emergency power supply provides an option to operators seeking an alternative. The unit is a new technology, DO160 certified unit that replaces the PS835 series and PS855 emergency power supplies in many applications that don't use an inverter.

Special introductory pricing is available through Duncan Aviation while supplies last, saving operators over $1,100 on the purchase price, and is giving an additional $500 credit on exchanges for the PS835 power supply. Securaplane and Duncan Aviation will also furnish an 8110-3 for installation in a specific aircraft at no charge.

"The approved data from this engineering document makes it easier to install the battery and complete a 337," says Karl. "This makes a return to service easier."

Duncan Aviation is a Securaplane dealer and a full, authorized service center for warranty and repairs. It is the only authorized service provider outside of Securaplane that can support repair of Securaplane's emergency power supplies.

"We are still supporting the PS835," says Karl. "That's not going to go away as long as parts are available. If it's economical to repair these units, we will. If it's not, we can offer an operator options."

The new XL244D comes with a full 36 month warranty on the battery packs and a 5 year warranty on the electronics. It is also PMA'd for installation in Beechcraft 1900 aircraft.
