INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: If possible, keep the
original shipping container.
If future transportation or
storage of the ignition is
necessary, this container will
provide the optimum protection.
2.0 CD200 UNIT
2.1
Select a location for the CD200 unit that will be at least 24 inches
(600 mm) away from the ignition coils and spark plug leads. In ad-
dition, the mounting location must be relatively cool, preferably
onebenettingfromtheenginefanstream(ifany);theoutsidecase
temperature of the CD200 unit should not exceed 185°F. (85°C.) in
continuous operation.
2.2
Secure the CD200 unit to a suitable mounting bracket with four 1/4
inch (6 mm) screws. Refer to FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 for CD200 unit dimen-
sions.
3.0 PICKUP SENSOR – CAMSHAFT DISC
3.1
A disc with the appropriate hole pattern must be prepared for
mounting at CAMSHAFT speed. The disc must be of magnetic ma-
terial and 4.0" (100 mm) diameter or larger. FIG. 4 details the hole
spacing depending on the number of engine cylinders. Note the di-
rection of rotation of the disc. The angular spacing is extremely im-
portant as this establishes the basic timing accuracy of the system.
3.2
Locate a suitable mounting position for the pickup sensor in order
to sense the holes in the rotating disc. Secure the pickup to a rigid
bracket or surface. See FIG. 4 for the dimensions of the 3/4"-16 pick-
up sensors.
3.3
Set the engine with no. 1 cylinder in the most advanced timing posi-
tion. Noting the direction of rotation, set the drilled disc opposite
the pickup in the position shown in FIG. 4.
3.4
Adjust the tightening nut holding the pickup sensor to maintain an
airgapasspeciedbelow:
•
For magnetic pickups 791015-1 and 791016-2, the gap shall be
set to .020" ± .005" (0.50 mm ± 0.12 mm).
•
For magnetic pickups 791035-2 and 791041-3 (12 mm thread),
the gap shall be set to .014" ± .004" (0.35 mm ± 0.10 mm).
The center of the pickup face must line up with the center of each
drilled hole as the disc rotates.
3.5
Plug the 2-pin pickup connector fully into the mating connector of
the CD200 wiring harness.
NOTE: Keep the pickup
sensor wires at least 2"
(50 mm) away from the coil
primary wires and at least
8" (200 mm) away from the
spark plug leads.
NOTE: Some MAN engines
have a 12 mm thread port;
use Altronic pickup 791035-2
or 791041-3.
