CD Ignition Tester
PN T56019 -2 01
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Kawasa ki Ignition Tester PIN T56019-201 is
an electr ical energy measuring dev ice capab le of
measuring the peak energy output of the CD I
igniter, magneto exciter, and p ulser coils .
Ignition energy outp ut puls es occur at a speed of
microsecond duration and cannot be accura tely
measured by a vo ltmeter . The Ka wa sa ki Ign it ion
Tester PI N T56019 -201 is so lid state construct io n
capab le of measuring ene rg y peaks of less than
one mic rosecond in duration .
The Kawasak i Ignit ion Tester PI N T56019-201
performs as a comparator . Th e energy outpu t
values for all CDI Ignition components were de-
rived from tests cond ucted by Kawasaki . Using this
teste r, it can be determ i ned if each ign ition com -
ponent is funct ioning properly . The test res ults can
be compared with the standard values given.
Tester Controls and Accessor ies
1. High-Low Range Switch
The tester has two input ranges selected by a
toggle switch . The Low range is sensitive to AC
or DC voltages from 0.5 to 27 volts . The High
range is sensitive to AC or DC voltages from
approximately 75 to 500 volts .
High Scale Test:
a. Plug the test simulator into a 115 VAC elec-
tric outlet for ten seconds.
b. Place togg le switch of the teste r in the High
position.
c. Remove the simu lator f rom the outlet, and
connect the P and N leads from the tester to
the simulator as indicated on the bottom of th e
simulator.
d. Set the tester dia l to 50, or below. Depress
the button on th e simu lato r. The indica tor lamp
on the tester shou ld light.
Low Scale Test :
a. Place switch in Low posit ion .
b. Set tester dial to 50, or be low .
c. Connect ye ll ow lead to negative terminal of
12 volt battery. Connect red lead to pos it ive
ter mina l. Indicator lamp shou ld light .
If lamp does not light in either the High or Low
sca le tests, check teste r batte ry installation .
Check the clip leads for faulty connect ions . If
no faults can be found, refer to the warranty
state ment for inst r uctions in sending the tester
back to Electro-Specialt ies, Inc . for repair.
2. Indicator Dial and Light
The ignition energy output is refere nced
aga i nst a 0-100 sca le on the tester. The
greater the energy output, the greater the
value ind ication on the sca le. The indication is
in the form of an incandescent lamp that lights
w he n the sca le dial is set at the pos ition co r-
responding to the energy output .
Indicator Dia l Al ignment:
Check indicator dial al ignment by t urning th e
di al to the full clockwise position. The white
mark on the dial must line up w ith t he 100 on
the face. If the mark does not li ne up w ith the
100, loosen the dial setscrew, remove t he dia l,
turn th e indicator dial shaft f ully clockw ise, re-
pl ace the dial, li ning up the ma rk on the dial
wit h the 100, and t ighten the setscrew. Do not
force the dia l to t urn wit hout first loose ning
the setscrew.
Due to manufactu ring tolerances, do not be
conce rned if th e white mark on the dial, when
turned fu ll y in the counterclockwise direction,
does not align exactly wit h the ze ro.
3 . Test Simu lator
The test simulator is used as a so urce of en-
ergy for test i ng the high range of the ignition
t ester . It is charged up by being plugged into a
1 15 VAC out let.
Do not touch the plug p ins on the si mulator
wh ile depressing t he button. A mild shock will
resu lt . For eac h test performed by the simula -
tor, it must be recharged . The tester w ill not be
damaged if the test switch is placed in the Low
position and high voltage output tests are
made.
4 . Load Coi l
The CDI ign ition load co il is used in co nju nc-
tion with the tester and is designed to provide
an o utput load for the CDI igniter un it. The load
co il w ill cause a ma rginal capacitor to ma l-
function, b ut will not effect a good unit.
