INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
DEVIATION FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO IMPROPER OP-
WARNING:
ERATION OF THE MACHINE WHICH COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY
TO OPERATORS OR OTHER NEARBY PERSONNEL.
1.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1
The Altronic CPU-95, DC-powered ignition system is a microproces-
sor-based capacitor discharge system designed for application on
natural gas fueled engines. The system features crankshaft-trig-
gered timing accuracy and the capability to vary timing electroni-
cally by several means, including an external 4-20 mA control signal
connected to the optional Display Module. The system is field-pro-
grammable and offers a variety of advanced control methods, emis-
sions reduction, primary and spark diagnostics, self diagnostics,
serial communications and engine protection features. The system
consists of two main parts: an engine mounted Ignition Module and
an optional user interface Display Module.
1.2
Various models of the Ignition Module are available:
791950-8
8-outputs, standard
791950-16
16-outputs, standard
791950-18
18-outputs, standard
791952-18
18-outputs, dual capacitor
791958-16
16-outputs, Varispark™ extended duration
1.3
The optional Display Module has a graphical, back-lit LCD display
that shows the operating status, engine RPM, energy level, single or
double-striking mode, current loop input value and ignition timing.
Additional display screens show set-up and diagnostic information.
1.4
To allow for a simple and economical upgrade of existing Altronic
CPU-90 installations, the CPU-95 utilizes the same ignition box mount-
ing layout, existing Altronic coils, magnetic pickups, Hall-effect
pickup and trigger magnet, pickup cables, primary wiring harness
and junction box(es).
1.5
Power requirement is 24 Vdc, 5 ampere nominal for typical applica-
tions. For Ignition Module 791958-16, use a supply rated for 24 Vdc, 10
amperes.
SEE SECTION 9.2 FOR DETAILS.
WARNING:
DEVIATION FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO IMPROPER
ENGINE OPERATION WHICH COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY TO
OPERATORS OR OTHER NEARBY PERSONNEL.
THE IGNITION SYSTEM MUST BE CONFIGURED PRIOR TO
USE ON AN ENGINE. REFER TO SECTION 9.7 TO VIEW THE
CURRENT CONFIGURATION. REFERENCE FORM CPU-95 PI
FOR INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIBING HOW TO CONFIGURE THE
IGNITION SYSTEM. VERIFY EEPROM PROGRAMMING PRIOR
TO STARTING ENGINE.

  • Page 1 Additional display screens show set-up and diagnostic information. To allow for a simple and economical upgrade of existing Altronic CPU-90 installations, the CPU-95 utilizes the same ignition box mount- ing layout, existing Altronic coils, magnetic pickups, Hall-effect pickup and trigger magnet, pickup cables, primary wiring harness and junction box(es).

    NOTE: The enclosure width When replacing an existing Altronic CPU-90 system, the CPU-95 Igni- tion Module can be mounted in place of the CPU-90 unit; the mount- is 1 inch larger than the ing footprint is identical to facilitate the changeover.
  • Page 3 5.0 MOUNTING FLYWHEEL GEAR/DRILLING FLYWHEEL HOLES The Altronic CPU-95 system requires a source of angular position pulses from the engine crankshaft. This can be a flywheel ring gear, a separately provided gear mounted on the crankshaft or specially drilled holes in the flywheel.
  • Page 4 CPU-95 DIGITAL IGNITION SYSTEM 8.0 MOUNTING THE CYCLE TRIGGER (4-CYCLE ENGINE ONLY) The trigger magnet (260604 or 720002) must be mounted on the en- gine camshaft or other accessory drive operating at camshaft speed. An M8 (8 mm) tapped hole, 0.5 inches (13 mm) deep is required — SEE FIGURE 17 FIGURE 14 for details.
  • Page 5 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the CPU-95 system, voltage and current supplied must be sufficient during all selected modes FIGURE 5 of operation. provides these details regarding the DC pow- er hookup: 1. CURRENT DRAW PER SYSTEM: Formula varies depending on number of outputs used, en- gine cycle and RPM, and use of the multi-strike feature.
