If there is ONE twin coil:
=> This CDI works.
See: CDI compatibility
Pickup
It’s made of a coil of wire wrapped around a magnet.
When a ferrous part passes by the magnet, the magnetic field is modified and a voltage pulse is created in the coil generating a sine wave.
DCCDIv12 has:
– 1 input for inductive pickup (VR/pickup coil) with 1 signal per crank revolution. (Pickup must puts out 3 to 100Vac)
– 1 input for Digital sensor (Hall Effect Sensor, Optical sensors even breakerpoints).
– This CDI works with ONE pulse per rev (1 reluctor only like “A” or “B” below)
– This CDI DOES NOT work with multi-pulses pickup (ie 2 reluctors on flywheel: “C” or “D”).
– This CDI DOES NOT work with a missing tooth flywheel. (“G”)
Pickup Polarity
When the bar/magnet on the stator passes in front of the pickup, the pickup generates two pulses of OPPOSITE polarity.
A pickup has 2 wires.
– If you ground wire number 1, wire number 2 will put out a Positive pulse first when the rising edge comes, then a Negative pulse when the falling edge leaves. I call it PN.
– If you ground wire number 2, wire number 1 will put out a Negative pulse first, then a Positive pulse. I call it NP.
This ignition box works best with Positive first pickup. (VR-PN)
If the polarity is Negative then Positive(NP) then the leads are backward, if possible, just swap the wires to change the pickup polarity !
Watchout! If the pickup is internally grounded and output ONLY one wire, you won’t be able to change the polarity, the pickup output is either PN or NP. You can still use this ignition.
Check the polarity of the pickup: Negative going then Positive/NP or the opposite PN/Positive going then Negative with a Needle galvanometer (in milliAmp position) while kicking.
Pickup Position
“Pickup Position” is the number of degrees between the very first pulse from the pickup and TDC
To be able to provide the largest advance timing (Example 36° @ 4500rpm) the pickup MUST send a trigger signal BEFORE the piston reaches 36° before top dead center (BTDC).
The “Pickup Position” on the Yam XT600 is 50°. Many Yamahas have a “Pickup Position” of 72 degrees.
This “Pickup Position” depends on:
– Where the pickup is mechanically located with respect to TDC?
– Where is the flywheel’s bar located?
– How long is the flywheel’s bar?
“Pickup Position” AKA “Max Advance” = “Base Advance” + “Flywheel’s bar Length”
“Base Advance” value sometime appears is User Manuel.
Length of the flywheel’s bar can be measured this way.
You may measure the “Pickup Position” using a protractor.
or with a caliper and some math.
Pickup Voltage
The higher the RPM, the more voltage it must produce
Formula : Minimum Pickup voltage = RPM/1000 + 3
Example : At 6000rpm the VR pickup must put out : 6000/1000 = 6 + 3 = 9Vpp (Volts peak to peak)
Hall Effect Sensor, Points
– Points, reluctors, Hall sensors, optical sensors can also be used as long as they give only 1 pulse per revolution.
– When a magnet passes in front of the sensor, the output voltage goes low and the ignition will detect the RISING edge meaning the trigger moment will be when the magnet LEAVE the sensor.
– Work with NPN Models : Hamlin 55100, Allegro A1101-A1104, Allegro old 3141-3144, Honeywell 1GT101DC, SS495, SS49E etc…
Ignition timing
Windows software: Interactive_Graph.exe
(Extract this software to where it has read/write permission, i.e. in your Document folder)
Tip: No need to use all 13 points if the curve is straightforward.
Just use the first 2 or 3 timing pairs ! The ignition box will process that faster.
Rev Limiter
The last RPM value that has been entered is the “rev limit” that stop all sparks.
Wiring
Pin 4 is the black mark
HowTo setup
To program the ignition, please Print and follow this procedure: Setup Ignition box.pdf
The 12pins connector has a marker trace on pin4 which is Ground.
1) Connect a Black wire from connector pin4 to the black plug of a 12v battery (minus).
2) Wire a bridge between connector pins 4 and 6 (ground and kill input).
3) Connect a Red wire from connector pin5 to the +12v of the battery (+, red plug) to power up the ignition.
4) Led blinks 5 times while a WiFi Access Point named “Transmic_ign” show up on you laptop/smartphone.
(If a password is asked, use “password”)
Diagnose with LED.
As soon as a pickup signal is detected, led blinks in rhythm.
If the Maximum RPM is reached, the led turns off. If minimum RPM is reached, led turns off.
– If the box starts in SETUP Mode : Led blinks 5 times before flashing once every 5 seconds.
When data arrives via WIFI, led briefly flashes.
Test the whole unit
Remove all connections except the coil and the power line: See video
COIL
CDI ignitions need a CAPACITIVE coil type (AKA Transformer type) for CDI (Not a INDUCTIVE coil for TCI)
Ignition coils are different from TCI to CDI systems.
A CDI ignition can work with a TCI coil but the spark energy will be halved ! Why CDI coils don’t work with TCI ignitions?
– CDI coils have low inductance (L=0.1 to 0.7mH) and primary resistance of around 0.3 to 0.8ohm
– TCI coils have higher inductance (L=4 to 15mH) and primary resistance of around 1 to 5ohm
CDI coils: IMFsoft, Ignitech, FireCore, FuelTech, PW, M&W, Suzuki coil, Kawazaki coil, PVL double coil, Honda double coil,
