Enabling or Disabling Battery Test
This ignition makes it possible to enable or disable the battery test. The battery test is very useful when Li-Po or Li-Ion batteries are used.
During the test, a series of flashes are generated and voltage is measured. When the battery passes the test, that means it will run for a
minimum of 10 minutes in flight.
If you want to change the type of silencer, do the first two steps and then continue to PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE. Otherwise, follow these
steps:
BATTERY TEST ENABLED:
- close programming pins with
enclosed jumper
BATTERY TEST DISABLED:
- open programming pins
(remove jumper)
Starting Sequence
- Move propeller to put the piston at bottom dead center of its travel
- Keep your hands outside of the propeller radius to avoid serious injury
- Hold the airplane and switch on ignition
- If battery test is enabled, the ignition starts battery test; during this test, a series of sparks are
generated for about 2 seconds and LED is blinking
- If battery test is disabled, then LED blinks for about 2 seconds
- If LED turns off, you can fly; otherwise battery is low
FIRST STEP
- Screw pickup on engine
- Attach the plastic protection to the high-
voltage cable
- Connect boot to plug
- Mount ground terminal on the high-voltage
cable bolt holding the engine to the motor
mount
- Mount the ignition to the airplane
SEConD STEP
- Connect enclosed LED to the ignition (red or
red/black wire to left)
START
- Keep clear of the propeller
- Connect battery with the ignition box
- Battery test is disabled when jumper is removed and programming
pins are open (this is the default condition of the engine as
shipped from Evolution)
- Battery test is enabled when jumper is plugged in and
programming pins are closed
WARInInG: The ignition system performs a self test when turning
on the ignitions switch. During the self test the spark plugs are
energized for a single spark. DO NOT HAVE THE ENGINE POSITIONED
ON COMPRESSION STROKE WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION
SWITCH. It is possible for combustion to occur and the prop to start
rotating when turning the ignition switch on. Be sure to restrain the
aircraft prior to turning the ignition on when using the battery test
feature.
- Enable or disable battery test when the ignition is off
