Features and Operations
Introduction
This chapter covers the fundamentals of Igniter Tester operation. It shows how to use the 4314Ki front
and rear panels, how to make connections, and describes the display sections and messages. Before using
the instrument to make measurements, it is important to familiarize yourself with each section of the
front and rear panel of the 4314Ki.
Front Panel
The front panel of the 4314Ki can be broken down into 4 parts. In Figure 1 you can see the regions
indicated by their name.

Power Switch
Battery Mode: When the front panel power switch is placed in the OFF/CHARGE position, all power is
removed from the output terminals, and the battery pack is connected to the charging circuit. When the
switch is placed in the ON position, the battery pack is disconnected from the charging circuit. The
possibility of a common mode voltage between the device under test and AC Power ground is therefore
eliminated. The switch also functions as a low battery indicator. When battery level is within operational
limits, the switch will illuminate in blue. Once the battery voltage level drops below the minimum
operational limit, the switch will change to red.
Continuous Power Mode: The switch is simple used to turn the 4314Ki on and off.
