Ignition installation in the model

The most important rule covering battery ignition systems first:

Never ever switch the system on without the spark plug cap being on the spark

plug!

Keep all parts of the battery ignition as far as possible from the receiver, mini-

mum distance being 15 cm.

The microprocessor Ignition is protected with a tough metal case and the electronics

inside are encapsulated to protect against vibration. In spite of this it is not a good idea

to simply mount the ignition box onto the firewall with a couple of cable ties.

Please fit the cables very carefully into your model, especially the high tension cable,

as this will not contain the 21,000 volts if it is damaged due to scuffing against the

cowl inner surface. If the screening flex is damaged due to scuffing when threaded

through a GRP cowl opening, it will not be long before the inner insulation is damaged

also. Then the HT will short out to the screening flex and this may cause massive radio

interference and will of course lead to an ignition cutout.

Mechanical damage caused to the HT cable is not covered by the guarantee!

Switch

Use only knife edge contact switches such as our switch order no. #2024 or the Graupner

receiver cable with charger socket order no. 3046. Toggle switches with roller contacts

are not suitable as these are intended for 240 V. Used on low voltage, oxidation can

occur, this increases the contact resistance and will lead to ignition failure.

Take care with plugging together the JR-plugs and sockets by noting that the colours

should line up on opposite sides. It is possible with a little extra effort to push these

together with reverse polarity. No damage will be done but the ignition will of course

be dead. I tape these plugs and sockets with insulation tape for additional safety.

We recommend to secure the connection additionally witch tape!
