Press ENTER and the ‘”Spark Rate Control” Parameter Screen will appear.
The Spark Rate Control is used when it is desirable to set a maximum number of sparks
the control will allow, rather than have the control determine the optimum number of
sparks. For Spark Rate Control to operate properly, the Phase Back must be set to at
least 10%. If the operating mode is to be changed, simply press the 0 or 1 key
corresponding to the new mode (the old value will be overwritten) and press ENTER. If
the present operating mode is acceptable, simply press ENTER without making any
changes.
The Spark Rate Parameter Screen now appears. The acceptable range for the Spark
Rate is presented to the right o
f the word “Range”. In this example the range is from 2 to
200 sparks per minute.
The present operating value for the Spark Rate is presented to the right of the word
“ENTER.” In this example the present operating value is 24 sparks per minute.
If the operating value is to be changed, simply press the numeric keys corresponding to
the new value (the old value will be overwritten) and present ENTER. If the present
operating value is acceptable, simply press ENTER without making any changes. The
spark rate value will remain at the chosen value regardless of whether the Spark Rate
Control is enabled or disabled.
Press the DOWN or UP keys to view more prompt screens or press ESC to return the
