Automotive timing light
Testing of a car battery on loading (e.g. NOTE: If the battery voltage is less than 9V, strongly recommend asking a professional technician to check the car battery again.Ģ. Connect the black clip to the negative battery terminal (-) and the red, green clips to the positive battery terminal (+). Press the tact switch to light the VOLT indicator.Ĭ. Disconnect the ignition by pulling the plug off terminal 1 (1,D,RUP,-) on the ignition coil.ī. Testing of battery voltage under starting current load.Ī. The voltmeter can be used to check the battery voltage and the supply voltage to various electronic devices, e.g. Should any deviations be found, mark appropriate adjustments? Compare the RPM reading with the figure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Start the engine and read the RPM from the display. Connect the red clip to the positive battery terminal (+) and the black clip to the negative battery terminal (-). Connect the inductive pick-up to the first cylinder.ģ.
Press the tact switch to light the RPM indicator.Ģ.
The engine speed must be known in order to:ġ. Тhe tachometer is used to measure the engine speed. When testing and tuning with the timing light, be sure DO NOT touch any leads between the instrument and the vehicle. With an electronic ignition system dangerous voltage can occur throughout the system, not only at an individual unit such as the coil or distributor, but also at the cable harness, on pin-and-socket connectors, or connections to testing instruments etc. While working on an electronic ignition system, be sure DO NOT touch any live parts once the ignition is on and the engine is running. Important: Always switch off the ignition before doing the followings. In the owner's manual, and do-it-yourself reference books and data sheets you will find much helpful information on testing and tuning your vehicle. Incorrect adjustment of ignition timing can damage the vehicle. The correct firing point is specified by the vehicle manufacturer. As a certain time elapses between ignition and the flame spreading over the entire combustion chamber, ignition must occur before reach the top dead centre. This is the time when the greatest combustion pressure is exerted on the piston and therefore also the greatest force is acting on the piston. The flame spreads from the point of ignition throughout the entire combustion chamber. At the firing point the spark plug ignites the fuel-air mixture forced into the cylinder by the piston. Correct timing has a positive influence on the performance and life time of an engine.Ģ. A timing light is used to check the timing on spark ignition engines. Connect the Inductive pick-up to No.1 SPARK PLUGġ. The vehicle chassis must be connected to the battery Negative terminal.ģ. Connect Battery Clips to the vehicle battery, Red to Positive terminal and Black to Negative terminal. Connect the Inductive pick-up lead with the Main cable.Ģ. This Timing Light works on most 12V petrol engine vehicles.Ĭonnection of the Timing Light with a petrol vehicle:ġ. L Bright xenon flash tube provides concentrated light for easy visibility of timing mark. L Detachable heavy duty inductive pick-up clamps lead and diesel sensor for easy operation and replacement. L Work on all 12V and 24V diesel and gasoline engines. Inductive Pick-up Lead: to clamp onto #1 spark plug of ignition engine system
Sensor Lead with converter box: to produce a signal to trigger the timing lightĦ. Sensor Connector (white): to connect with Diesel sensor lead or Inductive pickup leadĥ. Test Clip (green): for RPM, Dwell, Voltage testsĬ. Battery Clips (red & black): to supply the Timing Light powered from the vehicle batteryī. Piezo Clamp: The Piezo Clamp equipped with a sensing element enables to detect the fuel pressure pulse in the injector fuel pipe while fuel is injected into the cylinder and the Piezo Clamp is clamped on the #1 Injector fuel pipe.Ī. Adjustable Nuts: to adjust the tightness of the Piezo Clamp onto the injector pipeģ. And the bright xenon flash tube provides concentrated light for easy visibility of timing mark.Ģ. The detachable heavy duty inductive pick-up clamps lead and diesel sensor are for easy operation and replacement. It is equipped with high impact ABS housing, tach, dwell, and volt tester. This device works on all 12V and 24V diesel and gasoline engines. Diesel and Gasoline Timing Light - DA-3100D
