It takes a current of about 20mA.
Status LED cable :
When there is no glowing it monitors the glow battery status :
Solid green : Full or nearly full
Flashing green : More than half
Flashing green / red : Less than half
Flashing red : Will be soon empty
Below 6V the glow battery is switched off to protect the battery of too low voltage.
With glowing
In starting mode : Fast red flashing
In running mode : Solid red
Mounting
The electronics is usually mounted with 2 M3-screws on a stable plate or wall. The
distance between the two holes is 60mm. There should'nt be strong vibrations, dust, water,
fuel or hot air. Avoid more than 50°C ambient temperature.
The adjustment procedure
– Connect all glow plugs to the glow driver
– Take one plug out of the cylinder and connect the plug housing to the engine
– If you have less than 9 glow plugs, then you can also take an additional plug
without to remove one plug of the engine
– Take care that all plugs are dry, because this is the refeference for a dry plug.
A wet plug draws a much higher current and with this wrong reference value a glow plug
could be destroyed in worst case when it is dry again.
– Put the lever stick in the idle position, connect the glow battery and the servo cable
– Switch on the transmitter
– Press the SET button (use the added special tool) during you switch on the receiver
– The status LED flashes once green
– Put the lever stick in the position wher the glowing shall stop (typically half throttle
or 1/3 to 2/3 throttle)
– Press the SET button, status LED flashes green once shortly.
– Put the stick slowly down to idle. Observe the removed glow plug. The glow plug
LEDs should be on
– If the outside glow plug is lighting orange, then stop the lever stick.
– Press the SET button
– The glow plug LEDs are turned off, the procedure is finished
Now you can activate the start mode and start the engine.
If you switch on the receiver next time, all values are stored. There will be no glowing
until you activate it
.
The adjustment procedure should also be done if a glow plug is replaced, because each
plug is a bit different.
The actual voltage of the glow battery does'nt affect the power of heating.
Throttle cut and switching off the glowing :
If you go with trimming or better with the switch THROTTLE CUT more than 20% below
the idle position, the glowing is off. The gas servo should'nt get blocked.
The function THROTTLE CUT is also used to activate the glowing.
