because power is disconnected during the removal process. The terminology is sometimes called 'hot-swap'. A power limited switch can be installed, or split pen. (the solenoid pin can control the power management).ĥ. The connectors are not powered at all times. Increases the reliability of the connectors.Ĥ. Connection is made before power is supplied.ģ. It removes ignition sources such as sparks when connected or disconnected from receptacle.Ģ. The shorter smaller positive pin, does a few things:ġ. It also allows the power to be disconnected prior to the larger power pins clearing the connector. It allows the device to be plugged in, the power connections made, and then the power turned on as the connector is inserted. There are two larger pins that carry DC power and one shorter pin. Why the third pin is shorter in length than the other two and is its Purpose. The purpose of the 3 pin ground power unit connector in aircraft ? This does what you want with no extra Engineering for things you don't want.ĪN2551 The purpose of the 3 pin ground power unit connector I'm a bit fuzzy about keeping a solenoid alive continuously that is designed or selected to be hooked up for a brief period of time.ħ) So what you simply want to do is get the battery minder for your battery system and have the tiny plug brought out to an easy to access spot. Trying to use the external plug with a solenoid adds to the challenge. It is specific to the type and manufacturer of the batteries being used. the battery minder people have made a system that can handle two batteries like a LB has. I put this in the ideas that are too complex to be useable box.

or three in a LB.ģ) If the charger senses the battery to be full and shuts off, what happens next?Ĥ) the solenoid that is keeping the system alive starts draining the battery you are trying to keep charging.ĥ) the external plug is a good way to jumpstart the engine with a weak battery, but not much more than that.Ħ) solenoids have a tendency to wear out. But, now your system may be charging two batteries at the same time. If anyone here is interested in a like new Robotow Mooney, PM me and I’ll put you in touch with the owner.Generally you could, but it probably won't work using the external plug.ġ) The safety solenoid needs to be kept alive, it requires power.Ģ) an external battery can do this. If I didn't already have a tug, I would probably buy the Robo or the Sidewinder. It is easier to connect to the nose wheel and not as “jerky” as the Robotow but smells like a weed eater. The Robotow however can be folded down to fit in the baggage area and taken with me. I personally (maybe because I’m accustomed to it) still prefer my gas Powertow EZ. I’ve used it twice now and it is fairly easy to operate and does a great job getting the plane up the incline leading to my hangar. My hangar neighbor let me have his Robotow to try for a few weeks. I would go that route even given the price difference. I got rid of the Robotow and now just have the sidewinder. The traction of the Sidewinder is better, even in snow. The Sidewinder seems to have more power, can be folded and carried in the plane, and is well made. I have owned and used both the Robotow and the Sidewinder. Preserve your hamstrings and spine, buy a Robotow. Sounds simple but had someone hit the start button with the Robotow still in t-row. The handle is such you can not see if it has been left on the plane. I would also recommend you put something on the handle that is visible from windshield when it is in place on the airplane. Robotow works fine even when tanks are full. When front tire is wet, a little extra force down on the wheen with the Robotow ensures it won't slip.

With very little effort, this baby pushes my plane into position. Allows me to move my plane in and out of a tight hanger space with confidence I'm not going to bust anything off. Couple things I learned to maximize the effectiveness of the Robotow.keep your tire pressure at max psi and a wet front tire = Robotow no like that much. You can also buy aftermarket replacement rechargable battery for less than 1/2 the price if the Robotow factory issue.
