  114 Series

 
The 114 series is the underlying platform for both our Continental and Lycoming (and like) ignitions serving in the Experimental category.   Lyc114 cropS.JPG (37895 bytes)

Series 114 Refinements:

  • New sensor magnet mount - New design and manufacturing process for position sensor magnet mount.
  • Firmware - The routine for setting, storing, and loading timing information has been completely rewritten to assist recovery functions following gray power and system reset events.  [This feature was first introduced in firmware version 27 for installation in series 113 ignitions.]
  • Sensor Alignment Alert - If the processor detects a position sensor misalignment (typically an installation anomaly), it will block further operation until proper alignment is restored.  The block also activates an LED alert signal.  
  • Internal Power Transition - P models will transition to internal power as soon as engine speed permits (typically around 1500 rpm), at which point the internal alternator becomes the "primary" power sources and the aircraft buss becomes the "back-up". 
  • Finned Nose  - Fins have been added to the nose section that (in conjunction with blast tubes) further improve cooling, and permits sealing of the electronics case.  
  • Spark Plug Alerts - Circuit board hardware is added to report (via EICAD v4 to be released soon) the ignition coil discharge rate.  
    • A rapid discharge rate indicates a spark plug or plug lead is fouled (shorted).
    • A slow discharge rate indicates a spark plug or plug lead is open (broken).
