Motorcycle Toolchest Catalog 2006 08-0193 Motion Pro (08-0193)Ignitionmate Motion Pro Makes ignition system troubleshooting easier, quicker and more precise The IgnitionMate is a simple but highly effective ignition system diagnostic tool. It works by measuring the maximum value of a voltage spike produced by an ignition system to provide a true diagnosis as compared to resistance values used by RMS multimeters. Recognizing that peak voltage is far more accurate measure, many OEMs have replaced resistance values of components with standard peak voltage outputs in their shop manuals. No disassembling of ignition components is required (avoids accidentally introducing, or correcting poor contacts in the system, which may further confuse and delay resolution of the unidentified problems) Uses 12 volt vehicle battery or its own internal 6AA battery source Auto off protects internal batteries against accidental discharge Complete kit includes impact-resistant rubber guard, travel/storage case, and detailed instructions Two year limited warranty The IgnitionMate measures three different ignition signals Select the ORANGE 10, 40 or 400Vpk scales and use the RED BLACK probes to measure primary signals between the ICU and the power supply (battery or charge coil), timing pick-up (pulse coil or hall sensor), ignition coil and switches (key, emergency stop, footstand, throttle). Select the YELLOW 10, 20, 40 kV scales and use the inductive pick-up to measure high voltage between the ignition coil and the sparkplug. Use the switch to determine the polarity of the high voltage signal. Normally single output coils have negative signals and dual output coils have negative and positive signals. Select the RED SPARK scale to measure the consistency of the high voltage signal and to determine misfires. The signal strength can be varied for display purposes. The left-hand YELLOW 20kV scale is provided to allow comparison between secondary and primary voltage as measured on the righthand ORANGE scales. Dual bar graph, high intensity LED displays allows simultaneous measurement of two different ignition signals. This allows you to narrow down between which two points the problem lies. Easy-to-use combination peak voltage and spark energy inductive pick-up clamps around sparkplug cable to measure voltages of up to 40kV and consistency of the spark current or energy. A stick-coil adapter is provided to allow measurement of secondary voltages on stick-coils. Spark energy monitoring allows misfire detection: a jumping spark energy signal indicates a misfire. A stable spark energy signal indicates a good ignition system and fuel mixture (An erratic signal might be caused by a lean fuel mixture). Note: The instrument is compact enough to mount on a motorcycle tank for on road misfire detection. Primary voltage and pick up coil sensor measurement with silicon tester cables (resistant to damage from hot engines or exhausts) and removable insulated crocodile clips or special scoop probes (also known as back probes; allows easy connection (without damage) to in line cable connectors).
