10.3.4 Running a Self Test
Operational safety!
If you conduct a self test, ensure that the following conditions are met in
order to avoid equipment damage or personal injury:
– The MIC500 ignition controller may not be located in a potentially
explosive area.
– The gas supply must be switched off.
– There may not be any residual gas in the combustion chamber.
Explosion hazard!
Reinsert the RS232 interface cover after each usage and tighten it with a
tightening torque of 1 Nm (0.7 lb-ft).
To check the order of the wiring and the connection between the ignition controller outputs
down to the spark plugs, you can run a self test.
To start the self test:
1. Turn on the supply voltage for the ignition controller.
2. Connect the computer or the hand-held programmer via the RS232 interface (serial
interface/COM) to the ignition controller.
3. Launch the Ignition Control configuration software on the computer or switch the hand-held
programmer on using the ON/OFF key.
4. Start the self test from the computer by pressing [Shift]+[S], or from the hand-held
programmer by pressing [S].
All pre-selected outputs will be fired consecutively in 1/10-second intervals.
