1.0 DESCRIPTION
1.1
This manual provides installation and operating instructions for the
Altronic CD200 ignition system. It is recommended that the user
read this manual in its entirety before commencing operations.
1.2
The Altronic CD200 ignition system consists of these basic components:
•
CD200 Unit - 791070-x or 791080-x (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2)
•
Magnetic Pickup Sensor (one per system)
•
Input Harness (one per system)
•
Output Harness (one or two per system)
•
Ignition coils (one per cylinder)
1.3
The system requires a battery or a suitable power supply
with a nominal 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc (see FIG. 3). The CD200
unit steps up the DC supply voltage to charge an en-
ergy storage capacitor and contains a microproces-
sor and solid-state switching devices to release the
stored energy to the ignition coils in programmed,
timed sequence according to the application. Holes
(one per cylinder) in a special timing disc signal the
position of the engine crankshaft to the electronic
circuitry in the CD200 unit. One additional hole trails
after the last cylinder hole; this is the index signal that
another revolution has started. Ignition timing may be
varied by means of a manual switch, an analog timing signal
and/or engine RPM.

1.5
As shipped from the factory, the CD200 is in the auto-detect mode
and is set up for a trigger disc running at camshaft speed (see SEC-
TION 9.4). The setup is programmable by the use of the PC compatible
CD200 terminal program (FIGS. 14 & 15) provided on a CD delivered
with the unit. The programming of the unit is done via the RS-485
Modbus compatible communications port.
