Curve 66% - ignition curve for 66% TPS
Curve 100% - ignition curve for 100% TPS
Exit - exit submenu
Important!
To avoid wrong processing, don't make unreasonable curve course.
Every time you make any changes to ignition curve, it is automatically saved to number #0.
Later you can save it to any other number #1 or #2.

6. Set ADVANCE
With this setting is possible to advance or retard whole ignition curve. When setting is
positive then ignition curve is advanced and when setting is negative than ignition curve is
retarded. With Advance 0.0deg, ignition curve is unchanged.
Enter menu and move to Advance with pressing + or - and then press enter .

Power Jet OFF RPM - revs for deactivating power jet
Power Jet ON TPS (if TPS enabled) - throttle position for activating power jet
Power Jet OFF TPS (if TPS enabled) - throttle position for deactivating power jet
Exit - exit submenu
Example:
Power jet ON (RPM) = 8000rpm
Power jet OFF (RPM) = 10000rpm
Power jet ON (TPS) = 70%TPS
power jet OFF (TPS) = 90%TPS
Power jet is switched on when revs are between 8000-10000rpm and throttle position is
between 70-90%, otherwise power jet is switched off.
7.1. INVERT POLARITY
Operation of Power Jet can be inverted, or not.

More information's about static angle you can find in section 19.
12. Set COMPENSATION
It is compensation of signal delay from pickup to spark plugs. You can check this delay with
stroboscope lamp. Without this compensation, ignition advance angle decreasing with rising
revs.
This compensation helps that advance angles in ignition curve are real (more accurate).
How to check, if compensation is correct:
First you must set flat ignition curve. Then measure with stroboscope lamp, if mark at
flywheel moving when changing revs. If mark moving, then you must change compensation
delay.
Change Compensation:
Enter menu and move to Compensation with pressing + or - and then press enter .
Now you can change compensation delay with pressing + or - and then press enter .
13. TPS
Enabling, or disabling Throttle Position Sensor.
Enter Set Ign. menu and move to TPS with pressing + or - and then press enter .
Now you can enable or disable TPS with pressing + or - and then press enter .
14. Set TPS close [0%]
For correct operation, TPS close position must be calibrated!
Enter menu and move to TPS close [0%] with pressing + or - and then press enter .
Leave throttle at close position and confirm calibrating with pressing enter , or exit
calibration with pressing - . Displayed number should be between 0 and 500.

- 7 -
15. Set TPS open [100%]
For correct operation, TPS open position must be calibrated!
Enter menu and move to TPS open [100%] with pressing + or - and then press enter .
Move throttle to maximum open position and confirm calibrating with pressing enter , or exit
calibration with pressing -. Displayed number should be between 500 and 1010.
16. IGNITION MAP SWITCH
Enabling, or disabling ignition map switch for changing ignition curves while riding.
Enter menu and move to Ign. Map SW with pressing + or - and then press enter .
Now you can enable, or disable external switch with pressing + or - and then press enter .
17. Set PULSES PER REV
It is number of pulses per rev from pickup coil and is important for correct rev reading. Set 1
for single cylinder engines. Set 2 for all twins with wasted spark ignition system.
Enter Set Ign. menu and move to Pulses Per Rev with pressing + , or - and then press
enter.
Change nr. of pulses per rev with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
18. Set TRIGGER MODE
Enter Set Ign. menu and move to Trigger Mode with pressing + , or - and then press
enter.
Change Trigger Mode with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Trigger signal from pickup consist of positive and negative pulse. Positive pulse must be first
and is generated by leading edge of trigger bar...negative pulse must be second and is
generated by trailing edge of trigger bar.
If trigger signal is opposite (first negative and second positive), then wires from the pickup
need to be switched...that changes polarity of signal from pickup.
Positive pulse defines static angle position and negative pulse defines idle running timing
position.

- 8 -
When "only [+] signal" is checked, then only positive signal is detected and ignition timing
is calculated with all revs as programmed with ignition map.
When "[+] and [-] signal" is checked, then both signals are detected. Revs of first ignition
point define switching point between, programmed ignition map and idle running timing
position.
- Ignition timing is defined with trailing edge of trigger bar, at revs lower then first ignition
point (idle advance...se drawing above).
- Ignition timing is defined with programmed map, at revs higher then first ignition point.
Example: if first ignition point is programmed at 1500rpm, then below 1500rpm, ignition
timing is defined with trailing edge of trigger bar (idle advance...se drawing above) and above
1500rmp, ignition timing is defined by programmed ignition map.
Set "only [+] signal" when using custom, or modified trigger rotor, or upgrade from static
ignition timing CDI.
Set "[+] and [-] signal" when using original trigger rotors, or flywheels. First ignition point
should be programmed somewhere between 1000-2000rpm.
19. MECHANICAL SETTINGS (Static Angle)
Static Angle is ignition advance angle, set with stator (generator).
Measure this angle with dial gauge. This measured Static Angle is your maximum advance
angle you can set with PCDI.
Example:
Measured Static Angle = 39.2deg (this angle you must enter in PCDI)
Calculating mm to deg or vice versa:

20. MONITORING
Connect programmer to PCDI and wait few seconds for activation of programmer. Fist
information displayed on the programmer is firmware version.
With programmer you can watch revs, calculated advance ignition angle and TPS position.
Information!
You can connect or disconnect PCDI unit from programmer any time you want, without any
harm. It is not important, if motor running or not and if power supply is connected or not.
Important!
Do not use too much force when connecting or disconnecting programmer unit!
