Before installing ignition - look at the vacant ignition drive socket while turning
prop in normal direction. For purposes of checking rotation (DIR) in Step 3 below:
CW rotation indicates you have a RED engine.
CCW rotation indicates you have a GREEN engine.
Note which type you have
– red or green engine.
1)
Mount Ignition
: Insert the ignition(s) at any convenient orientation and tighten
mounting clamps to 17 ft/lb. Verify bus power and kill switches are both OFF,
then connect the Control Plug.
2)
DIR Color-Burst:
Power ON and watch for the LED Color-Burst code (first 1/2 second).
WHITE will be followed by either RED or GREEN. RED engines will want a White/RED burst.
GREEN engines want a White/GREEN burst.
(see Setup)
a) If the Color-Burst code matches your engine - proceed to Step 3.
b) If Color-Burst code does not match your engine - change DIR
– see Note 1 below.
3)
TC Setpoint:
Move engine to TC with built-in TC Locator as follows:
(If using other method to
locate TC, do so now and skip to Step 4 below
.
(see Setup for full description)
a) Remove spark plugs and move engine to #1 piston - bottom of stroke. Install Piston Stop
tool.
b) Verify bus power and Kill Switches are OFF. Press/hold the Config Button, while you turn
bus power ON. Continue the hold for six seconds until LED turns BLUE - then release. LED
will start blinking BLUE/GREEN to confirm
you’re in TC Locator mode, where the following
processes are enabled.
i) Rotate engine to gently arrive at first piston stop
– quick-press Button.
ii) Reverse engine movement to gently arrive at the second stop
– quick-press Button
.
iii) Remove Piston Stop tool and continue movement in the second stop direction to reach
TC, signaled by RED LED with tone.
c) Press/hold Button for six seconds, until LED turns WHITE
– release button. TC is now
stored. Ignition will re-boot in normal mode and settle at YELLOW LED with tone (i.e. TC
position).
4)
Check or Change MIN and MAX
: Move prop to MIN and MAX positions to confirm or adjust as
appropriate
(see Setpoints and Setup)
:
a) MIN (BLUE LED) matches engine manufacturers recommended magneto firing angle.
Default MIN is in the 20 to 22-degree range
.
b) MAX (WHITE LED) marks the maximum cruise firing angle.
Default MAX is 9-degrees
before MIN.
5)
Basic Setup is complete
. Finish installing plugs and plug wires, MAP plumbing, blast tube
cooling, and do the Pull-Thru test.
See details for each later in the manual.
Note 1: Change DIR
1) (Firmware V52 and after) Position engine so ignition is at the currently stored TC (YELLOW
LED with tone), then press and hold Button for 6 or more seconds. The LED will flash red
