during the hold, then flash WHITE (release Button), then automatically re-start with a color-burst
(WHITE then RED or GREEN) that signals the new DIR setting. Changing DIR will restore
factory default TC, MIN, and MAX settings. Return to Setup Step 3.
2) (Firmware prior to V52) Return to E-MAG for firmware update.
After Setup, correct DIR setting is further confirmed by:
1) Engine (prop) movement to the region before TC will produce MIN and MAX (BLUE/WITE)
LED signals and tone sounds at 20 and 25-degrees (reference tones). If instead, they appear in
the 20 to 25-degree region after TC.
– DIR is set for the wrong direction. Correct by changing
ignition DIR.
2) The Pull-Thru test (highly recommended) will fire plugs only when engine is pulled thru in the
programmed direction (DIR). Plugs will not fire if the engine is pulled in the wrong program
direction. Correct by changing ignition DIR and repeat setup.
Note 2: TIP if installing alone. It may be difficult to press/hold the Config Button and, at the same
time, reach the power switch. Disconnect the Control Plug, then turn bus power ON, then
press/hold the button while you re-connect the Control Plug (i.e., turn bus power ON).
Note 3: While checking MIN and MAX setpoints you will notice the ignition sounding a tone signal
at the 20 and 25-degree positions. They are provided as a positioning aid only. They are fixed and
do not move if you change MIN or MAX setpoints.
Installation and Operation
Cockpit Controls
1) Circuit breaker or fuse (one per ignition).
2) Ignition kill switch can be either:
a) Rotary switch OFF/R/L/Both/Start.
b) Toggle switch UP/ON and DOWN/OFF.
3) Ignition power test switch
(Note 1)
is for testing ignition internal alternator
– see Ignition Checks
:
a) Ramp Checks - a basic ignition alternator check.
a) Cut-Out test
– a stress test for ignition alternator and overall system to determine the low
speed operating boundary. Should be done after installation, annual check, and after major
maintenance.
4) Mode Switch FIX/VAR:
a) Required on all boosted engines.
b) It is
optional
on non-boosted engines - see wiring diagram at end of manual.
Note 1: The internal alternator power test circuits can be configured several ways and is largely a
matter of builder preference. That said, the two controls involved (kill switch and power test switch)
