INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.3
All connections at unshielded coils should be made using ring-type
terminalsspeciedfor16AWG(1.5sq.mm) wireand#10(5mm)
stud size. Terminals should either be soldered to the wire or at-
tached with an appropriate staking tool. Protect primary wiring
from physical damage, vibration and temperatures in excess of
200°F. (95°C.).
5.4
For details of the hookup for the analog timing signal, see FIG. 12.
5.5
Be sure the multi-pin harness connectors are fully plugged into the
mating receptacles connected to the CD200 unit.
6.0 SHUTDOWN WIRING
6.1
The CD200 system is shut-off by interrupting the DC power to the
unit; use a switch or relay with contacts rated 24 VDC, 10 amps -
refer to FIG. 3.
6.2
TheCD200canalsobeshutdownbyusingtheG-leadoftheoutput
harness. To shutdown the unit, connect the G-lead of the output
harness to ground. The CD200 will draw about 0.1 ampere from the
power source when shutdown.
7.0 SECONDARY WIRING
7.1
Withunshieldedcoils,sparkplugleadsshouldbefabricatedfrom
7 mm, silicone insulated, ignition cable with suitable terminals and
silicone spark plug boot.
7.2
Keep spark plug leads as short as possible and at least 2 inches (50 mm)
away from any grounded engine part. In deep spark plug wells, use
rigid, insulated extenders projecting out of the well.
7.3
Theuseofaclear,siliconegrease(suchasDowCorningDC-4,G.E.
G-623orGCElectronicsZ5)isrecommendedforallhigh-tension
connections and boots. This material helps seal out moisture and
prevent corrosion from atmospheric sources.
NOTE: Keep the primary
wiring at least 2" (50 mm)
away from the spark plug
leads.
NOTE: The use of resistance
spark plug cable or individual
5,000 ohm resistors (mount-
ed either at the spark plug or
coil) is recommended.
NOTE: Do NOT run the input
power line through a series
of normally closed switches.
NOTE: The CD200 should not
be used to power ignition-
powered panel instruments.
