IGNITER OPERATION
(1) When the signal rotor revolves a projection inside the signal rotor alternately moves away from and faces
towards the core detector inside the igniter.
(2) When the projection is separated from the core, an oscillating electrical circuit begins to oscillate, and when it
faces, magnetic flux issuing from the core moves across the inside of the signal rotor, so when loss increases,
oscillation ceases.
(3) This oscillation introduces power to the oscillation detector circuit, and after output is amplified it drives the
power transistor. During oscillation (when the projection and core are apart) electricity flowing through the
ignition coil and when oscillation stops (when the projection and core are facing) the electric current is inter-
rupted.
(4) The electrical detection circuit, in preventing excessive electrical flow to the power transistor, protects the
transistor.
