Programming Easy Start Function and Pre-Ignition Curve

Warnings

Always do a range check with the engine running before the first flight. Use the ignition only in dry conditions. Use recommended number and type of cells for each ignition 
type. This product is specified for RC engines only. Do not remove the resister cover if the ignition is on.

WArNING: DANGEr OF ELECTrIC SHOCk (vOLTAGE OvEr 0,000v).

WArNING: 

The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by not following the manual and/or use with anything other than RC engines.

WArNING: 

Because of possible interference, ignition and accumulators should be placed at least 25 cm from the receiver.

CAUTION:

 Use a standard servo with a current draw of less than 1.5A to operate the choke. Servos with a current draw greater than 1.5A, such as micro servos, digital servos 

and high-torque servos, consume more current than the ignition system's circuitry is designed to provide. If the servo you've connected quivers or won't work at all, its current 
draw is probably too high.

Short Silencer Choke Settings 

(e.g., Pitts Style)

1)  Using the throttle stick, close the choke 

until it closes completely. Wait until the LED 
blinks once, indicating the ignition has 
memorized the “closed choke” position.

2)  Using the throttle stick, open the choke 

valve until it is all the way open. Wait until 
the LED blinks once indicating the ignition 
unit has memorized the “choke  
open” position. 

3)  Move the choke to the closed position 

and hold there for an additional 5 
seconds, and the LED will blink rap-
idly, indicating that the Short Silencer 
Preignition program has been set.

4)  Disconnect the receiver.

Long Silencer Choke Settings 

(e.g., Canister or Tuned Pipe)

1)  Using the throttle stick, close the choke 

until it closes completely. Wait until the LED 
blinks once, indicating the ignition has 
memorized the “closed choke” position.

2)  Using the throttle stick, open the choke 

valve until it is all the way open. Wait 
until the LED blinks once indicat-
ing the ignition unit has memorized 
the “choke open” position. 

3)  Leave the choke open for an additional 

5 seconds, and the LED will blink slowly, 
indicating that the Long Silencer Pre-
ignition program has been set.

4)  Disconnect the receiver.

C onnect the auto-choke servo to 

the ignition box (black or brown to 
“–” pin).
