- monitoring of rev's, ignition angle, via LCD(hand held programmer)

Very important!
Resistor spark plugs must be used, because they produce less electromagnetic disturbances.
Very important!
PPV is protected against static discharge, but too high static charge can damage PPV.
Be careful when using programmer on the dyno, because static charge can build up on the bike and
static discharge can damage PPV unit, or programmer. Make ground connection between dyno and
bike frame to prevent static discharge.

1. HOW TO ENTER MENU
PCDI must be connected to power supply. Connect programmer to PCDI and wait few
seconds for activation of programmer and then press enter. With pressing + ,or - you can
move through menu and select with pressing enter .
Exit menu with selecting Exit.
2. MENU ORGANISATION
Load Ign. Curve - load previously saved ignition curve set (from #1 to #2)
Save Ign. Curve - save new ignition curve set (from #1 to #2)
Ignition Curve - ignition curve parameters submenu

Exit
3. LOAD IGN. CURVE
Enter menu and move to Load Ign. Curve with pressing + ,or - and then press enter .
Select position number of previously saved ignition curve set, with pressing +, or - and then
press enter .
4. SAVE IGN. CURVE
Enter menu and move to Save Ign. Curve with pressing + ,or - and then press enter .
Select position number to which you want to save your ignition curve set, with pressing + , or
- and then press enter .

5. Change IGNITION CURVE
Enter menu and move to Ignition Curve with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Now you are in submenu for setting ignition curve.
Submenu organisation:
Nr. of Points - number of ignition curve points (from 4 to 10)
1) - first ignition curve point
2) - second ignition curve point
... ...
... ...
Exit Curve - 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 #0 position.
Then you can save it to any other position number from #1 to #2.
Curve Example with six curve points:
5.1. Change NUMBER OF IGNITION CURVE POINTS
Move to Nr. of Points with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Select number of ignition points, with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
5.2. Change PARAMETERS OF IGNITION CURVE POINT
Move to point you want to change, with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Change rev point with pressing + , or - (in 100 rpm steps) and then press enter .
Change advance angle with pressing + , or - (in 0.1deg steps) and then press enter .

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 .
Set advance with pressing + , or - (in 0.1deg steps) and then press enter .
7. Set SHIFT LIGHT
Enter menu and move to Shift Light with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Change rev point with pressing + , or - (in 100 rpm steps) and then press enter .
8. Set SHIFT KILL TIME
Enter menu and move to Shift Kill Time with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Change kill time with pressing + , or - (in 10 ms steps) and then press enter .
9. Set REV LIMIT
Enter menu and move to Rev Limit with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Change rev limit with pressing + , or - (in 100 rpm steps) and then press enter .
10. Set STATIC ANGLE
Enter menu and move to Static Angle with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Now you can set static angle with pressing + , or - (in 0.1deg steps) and then press enter .
More information's about static angle you can find in section 15.
11. 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 moves, then you must change compensation
delay.

Change Compensation:
Enter menu and move to Compensation with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
Change compensation delay with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
12. Set IGNITION MAP SW
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 .
Enable, or disable external switch with pressing + , or - and then press enter .
13. 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 .
14. 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.

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.
15. 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:

16. MONITORING
Connect programmer to PCDI and wait few seconds for activation of programmer. Fist
information displayed on the programmer is software version.
With programmer you can watch revs, calculated advance ignition angle and PV valve
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!
