GxT Ferret 54 ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC CENTER - Manual (Page 17)

STROBE TIMING
The Timing Light will flash when a spark
signal and power from the Diagnostic Center
leads are present and the Strobe Timing test
is selected. Flash delay is adjusted with the
fingertip control buttons on the handle. The
digital display shows advance angle of the
flash, or RPM, depending on the position of
the switch on the rear of the light. Both
readings appear on the Control Module
screen. MAGNETIC TIMING
As an alternative to using the timing light,
some engines provide for the use of a
magnetic probe for timing readings. This Top
Dead Center (TDC) signal detector is for
those who want the convenience of metered
measurements. You may use one of the
standard offset angles provided, or you may
enter a custom angle. To time diesel engines,
a diesel injection detector is necessary to
provide a cylinder #1 reference.
Plug the TDC Detector into the Control
Module's magnetic timing port, and connect
the magnetic probe to the detector. Then
insert the magnetic probe into the engine
bracket.
