With the PUSH TO TEST switch depressed and the MEASUREMENT
switch in the PEAK VOLTS mode, the ACCUTEK III will allow the
operator to set the output voltage being delivered to ignition coils,
instruments, high voltage test etc. The output voltage selected must
never exceed the input voltage specified by the manufacturer of the item
being tested. To supply the power to the item being tested, the
ACCUTEK III “TEST” switch must be moved to the TRANSFER or
ENERGY position and then depressing the PUSH TO TEST switch
output would be taken from HV-TEST (positive) and COMMON (neg-
ative).
NOTE: Output from the ACCUTEK III will be disabled if incoming pulses
are detected or if a low impedance load is not present across the HV-TEST
and COMMON outputs. The ACCUTEK III must be turned off and back on
to re-establish output capabilities. This feature has been included to provide
additional safety to the operator.
Section 10
TRANSFER
MULTI-STRIKE IGNITION SYSTEMS MUST
BE OPERATED IN SINGLE STRIKE MODE WHEN
TESTING WITH THE ACCUTEK III.
The ACCUTEK III has the ability to display a reading of how long (in
microseconds) the primary voltage pulse being supplied to the ignition
coil remained over 40 volts. Assuming identical (functional) ignition
coils are used in the ignition system under test, the ignition source
should see each ignition coil as an identical load and the ACCUTEK III
should display similar readings for each primary circuit being tested. If
there is a problem with any primary circuit of the ignition system,
TRANSFER readings to that circuit will not be consistent with readings
obtained from the other operational primary circuits. Steps to determine
which component is at fault must be taken.
Performing Transfer Test
10.1
Place the TEST switch to the COIL/IGN position and the
MEASUREMENT switch in the TRANSFER position.
