SPARKER DC-CDI-P2
SPARKER DC-CDI-P2 RACE is a capacitive ignition unit for road motorcycles. The ignition unit can be
programmed via a computer and it is fully tunable as regards ignition timing. It contains an ignition advance
curve/map depending on engine revolutions and throttle position. It also contains peripheries such as: tachometer
output, three multifunction "power outputs", outputs and input for exhaust valve servomotor, two multifunction
inputs. During programming, the ignition unit is connected to a computer via a serial port. A setup application "
DCCDIP2.EXE" is included with the ignition unit. Connection is provided via a 20pin connector.

HARDWARE

Pick-up system.
The ignition unit has two channels and it can be used with almost all pick-up systems. Selected pick-up systems
are set up directly from a drop-down list in the "DCCDIP2race.EXE" application. Other pick-up systems can be
set up using a special procedure in the DCCDIP2.EXE application.
Supply voltage
Supply voltage must be within the range from 8 to 18 V. Within this range, the ignition unit is able to optimally
control all processes. The ignition unit will be switched off if voltage decreases below 8 V or exceeds 18 V.
Supply voltage is connected with the positive pole to outlet no. 13 and with the negative pole to outlets no. 2 and
11.
Throttle position sensor (TPS) input.
The input is designed for standard throttle position sensors used in motorcycles. It can accept voltages from 0 to
5 V. Sensor settings for 0 % and 100 % are included in the "DCCDIP2.EXE" application.
TPS is supplied with voltage + 5 V (outlet no. 17) and SENSE GND (outlet no. 16). Sensor output is connected
to outlet no. 6.
Crankshaft position sensor CKPS input.
An input is ready for standard pickup sensors used on motorbikes as CKPS.
One outlet of the CKPS should be connected to connector (9) and the other one should be connected to SENSE
GND (16). See following the chart. For system with two pick-ups should be one outlet of the second pick-up
connected to connector (20) and the other one should be connected to SENSE GND (16). See following the
chart.
Crankshaft position sensor (pick-up) inputs.
Inputs are prepared for standard pick-up sensors (coil-magnet) used in motorcycles. One outlet of the pick-up is
connected to the connector (outlet no. 9) and the second outlet is connected to SENSE GND (outlet no. 16). In
case of a two-sensor pick-up system, one outlet of the second sensor is connected to the connector (outlet no. 20)
and the second outlet is connected to SENSE GND (outlet no. 16).
Multifunction input 1.
One outlet of the switch or sensor is connected to the connector (outlet no. 19) and the second outlet is connected
to ground. If you activate the switch, a function selected by the "DCCDIP2.EXE" application will be executed.
You can select function NONE, KILL SWITCH, CLUTCH MASTER, RETARD and START LIMITER.
Multifunction input 2.
One outlet of the switch or sensor is connected to the connector (outlet no. 8) and the second outlet is connected
to ground. If you activate the switch, a function selected by the "DCCDIP2.EXE" application will be executed.
You can select function NONE, BLOCKING, CLUTCH MASTER, RETARD and START LIMITER.
Outputs for induction coils IC 1, IC 2.
One outlet of induction coil IC 1 will be connected to the connector (outlet no. 1) and the second outlet will be
connected to
ground!
One outlet of induction coil IC 2 will be connected to the connector (outlet no. 10) and the
second outlet will be connected to
ground!
Warning!!! If you connect the second end of the induction coil to +12 V instead of the ground, the ignition unit
will be destroyed.

I bought an old Honda CX 500 and wanted to add an electronic tach and the ignitech wiring harness did not have a wire in the 15 pin slot. I was wondering if the wiring harness came with one originally or if it was removed by a previous owner?

I believe this is the ignitech model I have but there is no wire in the quick connect block. Am I supposed to wire it in myself or did the previous owner remove it for some reason?
