Place the ignition coil on the conductive surface. Supply a
suitable spark gap for the ignition coil to fire (approximately
0.5”). Be sure to connect the ground side of the spark gap and
ignition coil negative terminal to the conductive surface.
KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY AWAY
FROM THE IGNITION COIL WHEN YOU
ARE FIRING THE IGNITION COIL.
ALLOWING AN UNSHIELDED COIL TO FIRE AN
EXCESSIVELY LARGE GAP COULD SHOCK YOU AND
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE IGNITION TESTER.
4.24
Place the TEST switch to the COIL/IGN position and place
the MEASUREMENT switch to the PEAK VOLTS position.
4.25
Turn the ACCUTEK III on and depress PUSH TO TEST
switch.
4.26
Set voltage to be delivered to the ignition coil by adjusting
the VOLT SET potentiometer.
DO NOT EXCEED IGNITION COIL
MANUFACTURER’S INPUT VOLTAGE
4.27
Connect the leads from the HV-TEST and COMMON out-
puts of the ACCUTEK III to the primary side of the ignition
coil while observing proper polarity.
4.28
Place the MEASUREMENT switch to the TRANSFER posi-
tion and depress the PUSH TO TEST switch.
The ignition coil should now be firing at 1.0 times per second across
the spark gap. The LCD will be displaying (in microseconds) how
long the ACCUTEK III is delivering energy to the ignition coil. This
LCD reading should be noted and compared against similar ignition
coils.
