TURNERSVILLE, NJ — CDM has been named exclusive global distributor of ABS’s (Aviation Battery Systems, LLC) Start - Stick. Portable and lightweight, the NATO-spec StartStick GPU military ground pow- er unit is uniquely engi- neered to streamline the jump-start process, mini- mize soldiers’ exposure when outside vehicles, while eliminating the need for a second vehicle while slave-starting a disabled vehicle. StartStick’s distinc-

tive engineering together with its exclusive design, target mobility, reliability, as well as ease-of-use. The unit is uniquely opera-
ble by only one person, whereas traditional jump starts involve 4- or-more personnel to accomplish the process. Compatible with any military ground vehicle, tailored kits are available which meet HUMVEE, MRAP, MI Abrams tank, plus bulldozer power re- quirements. The GPU notably provides 3,000 to 4,000 starts be- fore requiring overhaul, which significantly outperforms con- ventional lead-acid batteries. StartStick moreover optimizes depot efficiency as its employ- ment eliminates the need for heavy battery carts.

of battery charging and status. Startstick’s technical specifica- tions include a 19.4 Ah capacity as well as 26.4V nominal voltage. Maximum current (pulse) is
1,600A or 400A (cont.). Approx - imate discharge time is 60 min- utes, while charge time after one start is 30 to 40 min. Depending on variables, users can expect approximately 20 starts and 1,000 charge cycles. Contact: CDM, Inc., 130

be tested before it is used in pro- duction. In verification mode, the technician can touch the probe to connector pins in any order and confirm that the correct pin is highlighted on the screen. If a physical pin causes the wrong graphical pin to light up, the er- ror is visible immediately and can be corrected before any prod- uct is tested. The software also provides
safeguards against structural mapping problems. Duplicate as- signments can be flagged, and mistakes caused by unintended connections can be detected before they become part of the produc- tion test database. These guard - rails help catch the most common fixture setup errors at the point where they are easiest to fix.
Clearer Fault Reports The value of a correct fixture
map becomes clear during every- day testing. When a custom fix- ture is properly mapped, fault re- ports can refer to the actual con-

multiple cable variants across several custom fixtures, saved map files also support consisten- cy. Once a cable is learned and associated with the correct fix- ture map, that map can be re- stored automatically whenever the cable is loaded for future testing. This helps prevent mis- matches between the fixture be- ing used and the software map being applied. Custom fixture testing does
not have to mean slower setup, more manual documentation or a higher risk of operator error. With probe-driven mapping and built-in verification, manufactur- ers can move the burden from human attention to automated confirmation. The result is faster setup, cleaner documentation, more reliable test results and fault reports that mean exactly what they say. Contact: CAMI Research,
