2) 6.4 Volt Li-Fe(A123) Packs:

If you use A123 packs with your ignition system, keep in mind that such a packs can have a maximum voltage of 7.2. As 7.2 V is

higher than the operational input voltage of your ignition system, the use of a voltage regulator (sold separately) is necessary.

3) 7.4 Volt Li-Poly Packs:

If you use 2 cell Li-Pol packs with your ignition system, keep in mind that such a pack can have a maximum voltage of 8V and a

nominal voltage of 7.4 V. As this is higher than the operational input voltage of your ignition system it is essential that you sue

a voltage regulator (sold separately) that will keep the nominal input voltage between 4.8 and 6 V.

Installation

1) Spiral Wrapping

Use the supplied spiral wrap included with your ignition to protect the wires from heat and chang. Wrap the braided Spark

Plug Lead, Hall Sensor Harnesses and Battery Harnesses inside of this wrap.

2) Mounting

Attach your ignition to the rewall or engine box if possible. Wrap the ignition in foam to reduce the eects of engine vibration

on the circuitry. To adhere your ignition system to the model, we recommend that you use zip ties or Velcro. Do not install the

ignition system inside of the fuselage. Keep the ignition system as far away from the receiver as possible and never use the

same power source to run your ignition and receiver jointly.

3) Connecting the Battery

The ignition system utilizes a Futaba style plug, and comes with an additional pigtail to add to your ignition switch if necessary.

Be sure to follow the polarity (Red to Red, Black to Black) when connecting it to your power source. Likewise check that the

polarity is correctly followed when attaching the on/o switch. Wrap your battery with foam and mount it as far away from the

receiver as possible, preferably attach it to the engine box or rewall.

NOTE:

There are no serviceable parts in the ignition system. Opening the case will void the engine warranty.

Troubleshooting your Ignition

Battery

Check the voltage on your battery and make sure it is fresh and fully charged. Insure that the output voltage is 7V or less to the

ignition.

Connections

Check that all connections are correct from the battery, to the switch, to the ignition. Use a volt meter on the switch to ensure the

ignition is getting power and the polarity is correct.

Hall Eﬀects Sensor

Ensure that the orientation of the hall sensor is correct with the orientation of your hub magnet.

ATTENTION!

Never work on the engine with the spark plug installed and the ignition attached to the plug, this could cause the motor to start

unexpectedly. Always wear a glove when starting your engine!! After turning o your ignition, beware that ignition may store a

charge to start re the motor. Always perform a range check with your model at the ight site prior to using.
