Active pickups

Check when using active pickups that the auxiliary supply voltage is configured for your application.

 

Index/Reset Position
Enter the distance between the first event after the set index/ reset marking and top dead center. With the button Adjust, you can enter the measured firing angle for a given nominal value. The system calculates the difference from these values, which is added to or subtracted from the index/reset position.

Aux. Pickup Supply Voltage
Select the supply voltage with which the active pickup is to be operated. 8 V or 15 V are possible. When an auxiliary supply voltage of 15 V is required, the supply voltage of the ignition controller has to be at least 16 V.

 

Shared auxiliary supply voltage

Devices of the MIC100 series do not have a separate auxiliary supply voltage for the analog current input. For devices requiring such a voltage, the auxiliary supply voltage of the pickup can also be used for the current input.
