How
it Works
The contactless electronic ignition system
uses an optical trigger to energize the coil. A slotted disc fitted,
revolves between an infra-red light emitting diode and a
photo-transistor. As the slots in the disc alternately expose and cover
the light they activate the photo-transistor which in turn triggers the
circuitry to switch the coil and produce a spark.
At high speeds, the disc system allows up to
three times longer for the coil to charge than is available with a
points system. This ensures a powerful spark even at high speed.
Another important feature of this system is
that there are no contacting moving parts, so wear and tear are
eliminated and the timing stays accurate for an indefinitely long
period.

Compare the Output
Points efficiency is dependent on engine speed.
After 5,000 miles, frictional wear and points erosion impairs timing and
reduces spark energy.
Contactless electronic ignition has no
frictional losses and is switched faster at all speeds for ultimate
efficiency. |
