6.0 MOUNTING FLYWHEEL GEAR/DRILLING FLYWHEEL HOLES 6.1 The Altronic CPU-XL system requires a source of angular position pulses from the engine crankshaft. This can be a flywheel ring gear, a separately provided gear or specially drilled holes in the flywheel. The source of position pulses must meet the following requirements: Must be ferrous material, diameter of 18"...

Logic/Display Module. The CPU-XL ignition always fires in the same order as all other Altronic digital systems. The first firing event is the one following the reset. The firing events are brought out in order of occurrence (1, 2, 3, 4…) on the 20-position terminal strip inside the Junction/...
15.2 The spark plug leads should be fabricated from silicone insulated 7mm cable with suitable terminals and silicone spark plug boots. The use of leads with resistor spark plug boots (Altronic series 59320x-xx) is recommended to minimize interference from emitted RFI on the operation of other nearby electronic equipment. Another option is the use of suppression ignition cables.

These registers also support an Altronic custom function 103 which will return a descriptive label for each specific register. The custom label function can be used to reduce the need for the Modbus master to maintain a current listing of all of the register labels for each unit.
