Hello,

 

Awhile back I mentioned my Slickstart unit that needed a 10amp fuse to operate whereas the factory recommended fuse is 5 amp and current draw from other users is much less.

 

The unit is installed on a LOM engine and was unused when I bought it locally, the previous owner bought it for a project that never happened. Other LOM users have reported no problems.

 

I sent the unit back to the Champion Aerospace and they reported that the unit was manufactured in 1997 and that they tested it numerous times and found nothing wrong.

 

I enquired how they test it and this is what they replied

 

“Mike,  The ATP is a computer test of internal circuitry and output energy and tests all the internals, none of these parts should deteriorate with age.”

 

Could someone with more insight please advise if I should accept this or should I ask them to test it under “real” conditions

 

Thanks

 

Mike

   Slick has been building these things for decades.

   Don't know about their design and test policies

   but the goal of an ATP is to confirm performance

   to specs. Without seeing their test documentation,

   we cannot know if it falls short of being 'real'

   but I'd bet it's a rigorous test.
