enabling or Disabling battery Test
This ignition makes it possible to enable or disable the battery test. The battery test is very useful when Li-Po or Li-Ion batteries are
used. During the test, a series of flashes are generated and voltage is measured. When the battery passes the test, that means it will
run for a minimum of 10 minutes in flight.
If you want to change the type of silencer, do the first two steps and then continue to PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE. Otherwise, follow
these steps:
BATTERY TEST ENABLED:
- close programming pins with
enclosed jumper
BATTERY TEST DISABLED:
- open programming pins
(remove jumper)
Starting Sequence
- Move propeller to put the piston at bottom dead center of its travel
- Keep your hands outside of the propeller radius to avoid serious injury
- Hold the airplane and switch on ignition
- If battery test is enabled, the ignition starts battery test; during this test, a series of sparks are
generated for about 2 seconds and LED is blinking
- If battery test is disabled, then LED blinks for about 2 seconds
- If LED turns off, you can fly; otherwise battery is low
FIRST STeP
- Screw on pickup on engine
- Attach the plastic protection to the high
voltage cable
- Connect boot to plug
- Mount ground terminal on the high-voltage
cable bolt holding the engine to the motor
mount
- Mount the ignition to airplane
SeconD STeP
- Connect enclosed LED to the ignition (red or
red/black wire to left)
START
- Keep clear of the propeller
- Connect battery with the ignition box
- Battery test is disabled when jumper is removed and programming
pins are open (this is the default condition of the engine as
shipped from Evolution)
- Battery test is enabled when jumper is plugged and programming
pins are closed
cAuTIon:
With the battery test enabled the engine can
unintentionally start during the testing process. Be sure to restrain
the aircraft prior to turning the ignition on when using the battery
test feature.
- Enable or disable battery test when the ignition is off
