THE IGNITION ICU-L ver. 2.0
Ignition makes enable or disable battery test possible. Battery test is very useful
when Li-Pol or Li-Ion battery are used. During the test a series of flashes are
generated and voltage is measured. When test passed correctly, battery has energy
for minimal 10 minutes of flight.
- battery test is enabled (default settings – programming pins are closed by enc-
losed jumper),
- battery test is disabled when jumper is removed and programming pins are open,
- battery test is enabled when jumper is plugged and programming pins are closed.
Enable or disable battery test when the ignition is off.
ENABLING OR DISABLING BATTERY
FIRST STEP:
- connect enclosed LED to the ignition
(red or red/black wire to left).
- keep clear of the propeller,
- connect battery with the ignition box.
If you want to change the type of silencer, do first all of two steps and then continue to the next page with title
PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE. In the other case follow the next sequence.
- move propeller to open exhaust channel on engine (bottom center),
- put your hands outside propeller radius, otherwise you risk serious injury,
- hold on your airplane, switch on ignition,
- if battery test is enabled then ignition starts battery test. During this test the series of sparks are generated for cca 2 sec and LED is blinking,
- if battery test is disabled then LED is blinks for cca 2 sec,
- if LED turns off, you can fly, otherwise battery is low.

BASIC FEATURES:
– two preprogrammed preignition curves for (“short” – default setting
and “long” silencer),
– sleep mode after 90 sec of engine inactivity,
– with or without battery test (for Li-Ion or Li-Pol battery),
– battery level signalization (it will not work if battery voltage is lower
than 6,5 V and battery test feature is enabled),
– ignition goes off if engine runs counter clockwise.

DESCRIPTION:
Ignition ICU-L makes possible the selection of preignition curve („short“ or „long“ exhaust stroke). The Setting you can do by supplied shorting jum-
per. The setting is permanent stored in memory of ignition even if supply voltage is off after that. You needn’t to do the setting once more after next
switch-on. The next property is light switch-on or switch-off the battery test. That one namely is suitable for Lilon and LiPol battery.
BATTERY TEST
ENABLED:
- close programming pins with
enclosed jumper.
BATTERY TEST
DISABLED:
- open programming pins
(remove jumper).
- screw on pickup on engine,
- attach the plastic protection to the high
voltage cable,
- connect boot to plug,
- mount ring tongue terminal on the cable
from boot (ring faston) under a nut holding
the engine to the motor mount,
- fasten ignition to airplane.
