Installation of the Ignition Controller

The installation of the MIC4 ignition controller is implemented on a fixed bracket, e. g. on a wall near the engine, for the Light Duty or Heavy Duty Version. Install the Panel Mount Version in a suitable control cabinet. Use the included rubber vibration dampers and the ground strap for all three versions. The installation location of the controller must be selected so that the distance to the pickups installed on the engine ensures a reliable signal transmission to the ignition controller, and so that there is adequate space for maintenance and repair work. The mechanical specifications must always be complied with (refer to Mechanical Data). The ground strap serves to ground the ignition controller and must be used accordingly. Ensure a flawless electrical connection for this purpose.

Installation locations where strong vibrations or extreme ambient temperatures are present are not permissible and result in the warranty being voided. The permissible temperature ranges are:

 

Risk of destruction!

The device must not be installed directly on or at the engine, as vibration and heat may cause damage to electronic components. This also applies if vibration dampers are used.
