Ignition Tools & Test Equipment

Service Engineers today are constantly under pressure to keep the engine downtime as short as possible. For this reason MOTORTECH has designed a wide range of test equipment and tools. Electrical problems can create frustration to those who have to deal with it on a daily base. We try harder every day to design and manufacture what you are looking for!

SparkView High Voltage Indicator up to 50 kV

With the portable indicator SparkView from MOTORTECH, the high voltage demand of spark plugs can be easily and conveniently measured and visualized while the engine is running. In combination with the SparkScan1 high voltage clamp connected to the SparkView or a special measuring cable and the display up to 50 kV, the condition of the ignition system and especially of the spark plugs can be easily determined and the changeover time can be optimally specified.

Regular measurements thus contribute to maximum utilization of the spark plugs as well as reducing maintenance costs and high system availability.

During operation quick and easy check

• of spark plug wear and determination of the optimum time for changing
• of the ignition system (defective ignition coil, ignition cable, failure of one ignition channel, etc.)

SparkScan1 High Voltage Clamp

SparkScan1 is designed for operators who want to monitor their high voltage traces in a simple way. The capacitive high voltage clamp is connected to a Scope Meter. When attached to a conventional ignition cable (7 mm), the clamb measures the high voltage pulse and via scope screen the operator can analyse the ignition trace.

Measuring high voltage peak (kV) and spark duration (μsec) of all cylinders of an engine in a routine manner, will allow preventive maintenance of the equipment.

IPS – Ignition Pickup Simulator

Anyone trying to troubleshoot electronic ignition systems has come to the conclusion that there are so many different things that can create problems. The ignition pickup simulator allows the operator to simulate all pickup signals that are supposed to be generated by the different pickups installed on flywheel and camshaft. This way the ignition can actually be triggered with the appropriate amount of trigger events while the engine is not cranking. The IPS can be programmed for single and multiple pickup signal frequency.

A variety of adaptor harnesses is available to allow use of the IPS with different ignition controller brands and models.

Test Adaptor for MOTORTECH Ignition Controllers

To enable operators and service personnel to check input signals to the ignition controller in a simple way, MOTORTECH offers a Test Adaptor that links between the 35 pole input connector and the propriate harness.

Terminals located around the test box allow easy access to each input signal entering the ignition controller. By use of a commonly used Digital Scope Meter, the following signals can be checked:

• Input voltage
• Analog input signal (4-20mA)
• Pickup signals
• Start/Stop signal
• Go/NoGo signal
• Timing schedule selection switch (A/B)

ScopeLite Timing Light

The self-powered ScopeLite is designed to work with fully shielded ignition systems. A special clamp picks up the small trigger signal through the braid of conventional or MOT-Blues shielded spark plug leads. The signal is processed by the timing light and via LED technology a sequence of flashes is generated. On applications where MOTORTECH ignition coils with diagnostic interface are used, the ScopeLite can be attached directly to the BNC connector of the ignition coil.

Even on applications with integral or standard flange ignition coils, the clamp can be attached to the shielded primary lead. When timing is checked on engines with non-shielded spark plug leads, a selector switch needs to be pushed which then steps down sensitivity. The automatic time based shut-off function saves the 2 built in 9 V batteries in case the operator forgets to turn off power.

Makes it easy and safe for the operator!
