Using the small cable ties provided, make good the cable routing and tie together any excess loose cable. In
particular, make sure low voltage wiring cannot touch the large HT output wire (that goes to the plugs), as arcing
may occur which will damage the unit.
Testing
If all is correct, switch on the ignition and start the engine. It should fire up, and run under your new electronic
installation. If it does not, MAKE SURE THAT you have not swapped points and coils over between cylinders! If power
is going to the unit correctly, the LED should be lit.
If your system does not run correctly, please download our Ignition Systems Diagnostic Guide from our website at
www.gammatronix.com
Take the vehicle on a short journey close to home to test the installation is sound and working correctly.
A note on Conventional Ignition Systems
Conventional ignition systems are simple designs, dating back over 100 years. They create a spark by simply
connecting and disconnecting a source of DC current to the primary (via the points) to create a high voltage pulse on
the coil secondary. If you turn on the ignition without starting and running the engine, you have an approx 50/50
chance that the points are either open or closed. If closed, the coil will be fed with a constant (not pulsed) source
of current which will cause it, and the electronic ignition, to heat up excessively if left in this state for more than a
minute or two. It is good practice never to leave the ignition on without the engine actually running.
Safety, end of life, and warranty statement
Be aware that ignition systems produce thousands of volts to create the spark. Take care when fitting this unit and do
not touch the coils or connections with the engine operating. This unit is an installable component and not a complete
system in its own right and therefore requires installation into an existing vehicle ignition system. The installation, use
and suitability in a given application is the responsibility of the installer. Any damages or consequences are limited to
the replacement of the unit under the 12 month guarantee or original purchase price. Do not allow the unit to become
damaged, wet, dismantled, or make modifications to the enclosure or internal parts. Do not use the unit outside of its
operating voltage specification (according to model). At end-of-life this product should be taken to suitable recycling
