Shutdown Wiring; Secondary Wiring - Altronics CD200 Installation Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.3
All connections at unshielded coils should be made using ring-type
terminals specified for 16 AWG (1.5 sq. mm) wire and #10 (5 mm)
stud size. Terminals should either be soldered to the wire or at-
tached with an appropriate staking tool. Protect primary wiring
from physical damage, vibration and temperatures in excess of
200°F. (95°C.).
5.4
For details of the hookup for the analog timing signal, see
5.5
Be sure the multi-pin harness connectors are fully plugged into the
mating receptacles connected to the CD200 unit.

6.0 SHUTDOWN WIRING

6.
The CD200 system is shut-off by interrupting the DC power to the
unit; use a switch or relay with contacts rated 24 VDC, 10 amps -

refer to
6.2
The CD200 can also be shutdown by using the G-lead of the output
harness. To shutdown the unit, connect the G-lead of the output
harness to ground. The CD200 will draw about 0.1 ampere from the
power source when shutdown.

7.0 SECONDARY WIRING

7.
With unshielded coils, spark plug leads should be fabricated from
7 mm, silicone insulated, ignition cable with suitable terminals and
silicone spark plug boot.
7.2
Keep spark plug leads as short as possible and at least 2 inches (50 mm)
away from any grounded engine part. In deep spark plug wells, use
rigid, insulated extenders projecting out of the well.
7.3
The use of a clear, silicone grease (such as Dow Corning DC-4, G.E.
G-623 or GC Electronics Z5) is recommended for all high-tension
connections and boots. This material helps seal out moisture and
prevent corrosion from atmospheric sources.

leads.
NOTE: Do NOT run the input
power line through a series
of normally closed switches.
NOTE: The CD200 should not
be used to power ignition-
powered panel instruments.
NOTE: The use of resistance
spark plug cable or individual
5,000 ohm resistors (mount-
ed either at the spark plug or
coil) is recommended.
