CVI-4-V3 Electronic Ignition Kit

Description

For Non-certified Aircraft Only

CVI-4-V3 Electronic Ignition System Kit is for for 4-cylinder aircraft engines.
The ignition system is configurable before purchase, and configuration happens in the webshop (see guide).
The kit contains all components needed to replace one magneto:

• 1 CVI-4 Ignition Controller
• 1 CVI-4 Ignition Coil
• 1 Custom-length Ignition Coil harness
• 4 Silicone copper-core ignition leads (7mm) of 125 cm length, that can be cut to desired length and assembled.
  (Write in comments at order checkout if longer cables than 125 cm are needed)
• 1 Custom-length pickup sensor
• 2 Neodymium Trigger-magnets (excluded if bought together with an RS-series product)
• 2 High-quality flip-switches
• 1 Status Signal LED
• 4 Brass spark plug adaptors & washers (M18 to M14) – Optional
• Owners & Users Manual

Prerequisites:

• 12 V Power source able to provide 1.5 A average current, and 8 A peak current (4 ms).

Suggestions to configuration settings by engine type

deHavilland Gipsy Major & Blackburn Cirrus Minor

Low RPM Setpoint:           800 RPM
High RPM Setpoint:        1500 RPM
Low RPM Advance Angle:    15 deg
Mid RPM Advance Angle:     24 deg
High RPM Advance Angle:   33 deg

Continental Engine ranges A-65 through O-200

Lycoming Engines

Consult the operators manual of your engine model.

Configuration similar to fixed magneto

Configuring the ignition system to act like a conventional fixed-advance magneto, provide any arbitrary speeds and repeat the angles, like in the example below.

Low RPM Setpoint:         800 RPM
High RPM Setpoint:       1500 RPM
Low RPM Advance Angle:   26 deg
Mid RPM Advance Angle:   26 deg
High RPM Advance Angle:   26 deg

This will make the CVI-4-V3 act like a fixed magneto with an impulse coupling and a spark advance of 26 degrees when running.
