DESCRIPTION OF THE GIS IGNITION SYSTEM
7/7
WARNING
The reset button (in the GIS hardware) should not under any circumstances be pressed when the engine is in
operation. Pressing the reset button cuts of ignition, which could lead to detonations in the exhaust and/or inlet
manifolds. Said detonations could both cause damage to the engine and serious injury to anyone standing near
the engine.

2. FITTING THE IGNITION MODULE
Depending on the engine type and the application, the ignition module can be installed in three different positions:
-
Installed on a bracket on the engine with shock-absorbing systems to minimise the negative effect of
vibrations.
-
Installed on the nerve of the profile of the engine frame. Shock-absorbing systems are also used in this
case to minimise the negative effect of vibrations.
-
Installed in the GCS-E panel with those engines fitted with said panel.
For further detail on the installation of the ignition module, refer to IM-G-C-33-006, GIS ignition module installation
manual.
