Page 9: Ignition Voltage
Features and selection of spark plugs 3.3 Ignition voltage Kistler spark plugs are designed for a maximum ignition voltage of 40 kV (Type 6113C) and 45 kV (Type 6115C and 6118C). This value can be exceeded depending on the electrode gap and ignition energy. It is therefore important to maintain the electrode gap defined by Kistler. - Page 10 Measuring spark plugs, Type 6113C..., 6115C..., 6118C...

For this reason, Kistler recommends checking the electrode gap periodically every 50 h and adjusting it to the minimum. -
Page 13: Ceramic Diameter "D" And Insulator Length "K
Special attention should be paid to make sure that there is no air gap between the insulator and the ignition coil. Kistler uses isolators of size 7,7 mm with built-in diameter adaption made from glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP), size 9 mm or 10,5 mm. -

This can cause the measuring spark plug to become stuck. As a general rule, Kistler therefore recommends mounting and removing the measuring spark plugs only when the engine has cooled down completely. -
Page 15: Installation
Commissioning 4.2 Installation Please pay attention to the following when mounting the measuring spark plug: The contact surfaces on the spark plug and the cylinder head, as well as the thread of the measuring spark plug and the mounting bore in the cylinder head must be clean. The cable and the ignition coil must also be clean, dry and free of oil. -

Page 18: Using An Ignition Cable Extension
When using measuring spark plugs with CUP connection it is necessary to replace these by the SAE nut of the extension cable (if required, Kistler may provide longer SAE connection nuts). Then, the CUP connection can mounted at the end of the cable to the spark plug replica and the ignition coil can be adapted. -
Page 19: Removal
Commissioning 4.7 Removal First, remove the sensor cable from the amplifier and disconnect it from the BNC coupling (for PiezoSmart versions only). Then, remove the ignition coil / spark plug terminal from the measuring spark plug. After that is done, guide the sensor cable through the mounting tool and engage it with the measuring spark plug. -

5. The ceramic isolator must be cleaned – in case of a damage, the isolator can be replaced by Kistler (Chapter 5.4). 6. Test the electrode spacing with a feeler gauge and adjust if necessary (Fig. - Page 21 Maintenance Fig. 14: Checking the electrode spacing with a Fig. 15: Adjust the electrode spacing using tool feeler gauge Type 1253A Fig. 16: Adjusting the electrode spacing using a Fig. 17: Adjust the electrode spacing by care- vise – carefully clamp the electrode fully applying a vertical force Fig.

4. Take the new cable out of its packaging (See the data sheet of the spark plug for the right part number). Clean the terminal contacts with the Kistler Type 1003 cleaning spray and then dry using compressed air spray. Once this has been done, the cable can be mounted and then tightened (hand-tight). -
Page 23: Replacing The Pressure Sensor
If the pressure sensor needs replacing, the measuring spark plug must be sent to a Kistler Service Center. 5.4 Replacing the insulator The ceramic insulator can be replaced if damaged. After it has been replaced, the seal tightness of the measuring spark plug needs to be checked. -
