PHLOX II Ignition Control System 3
Figure 1: Example of configuration for 6-cylinder engine
In order to reduce spark plug wear, PHLOX II systems offer 32 levels of ignition energy in
a range of 25 to 280 mJ. Depending on application, the energy level can be set or adjusted
as a function of speed, load or on-board spark diagnostics. Optionally, and depending on
pick-up configuration, the detected misfiring level can automatically adapt the energy level
to needs of the engine and help extend usable spark plug life, while assuring optimum en-
gine performance. Its flexibility and I/O possibilities allow easy integration into any gas
engine management system and guarantee economical and tailored solutions for OEMs,
packagers and retrofit customers.
