19.0 UNDERSTANDING THE HOME SCREEN
19.1 A series of home screens are used to describe the current status of the ignition
system. The LCD display always reverts back to one of the home screens after
a keypad operation is completed or times out. The home screen is designed to
display the most critical operating parameters on one screen.
19.2 The READY message is displayed when the ignition is ready for the engine to
crank for starting.
19.3 Once the engine begins turning, the SYNCING message is displayed while the
ignition system verifies signals from the engine pickups.
After the ignition system has synchronized with the engine, the system displays
TRYING. This message means that the system has begun firing.
19.4 The FIRING message is displayed after one channel of each Output Module has
fired at least once. When this is displayed, the fire-confirm signal is also closed.
Additional data is provided on this screen to describe the selected mode of
operation for the ignition. The spark mode (#1-8) is described beneath the status.
19.5 The STALLED message is displayed when a loss of rotation is detected after the
ignition is firing and neither a SHUTDOWN or FAULT has occurred. This signifies
that the engine has stopped without any detected cause from the ignition system.
