Very important!
Resistor spark plugs must be used, because they produce less electromagnetic disturbances.
Very important!
PDCI is protected against static discharge, but too high static charge can damage PDCI.
Be careful when using programmer on the dyno, because static charge can build up on the bike and
static discharge can damage PDCI unit, or programmer. Make ground connection between dyno and
bike frame to prevent static discharge.
Danger of electric shock!
Avoid connecting PDCI to 12 V power supply before connecting to ignition coil. High voltage is
generated and touching free wires can cause electric shock, or damage the unit.

Compensation helps that advance angles in ignition map are accurate.
How to check, if compensation is correct?
First you have to set flat ignition curve. Then measure with stroboscope lamp, if mark at flywheel
moves when changing revs. If mark moves, then compensation delay must be changed.
Default value is 30 us and is correct for most applications.

Change nr. of pulses per rev with pressing + , or - and press ENTER .
20. Set STOP SWITCH MODE
Stop switch can be set as 'low stop', or as 'high stop'.

Enter Set Ign. menu and move to Stop SW Mode with pressing + , or - and press ENTER .
Change stop switch mode with pressing + , or - and press ENTER .
21. 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 consists of positive and negative pulse. Positive pulse must be first and
is generated by leading edge of trigger lobe ... negative pulse must be second and is generated by
trailing edge of trigger lobe.
If trigger signal is opposite (first negative and second positive), then wires from the pickup needs to
be switched ... that changes polarity of signal from pickup.
Positive pulse defines static angle position and negative pulse defines idle running timing position.

12
When trigger mode 1 is selected, then only positive signal is detected and ignition timing is
calculated for all revs as programmed with ignition map.
When trigger mode 2 is selected, then both signals are detected. Rpm setting of first ignition point
defines switching point between programmed ignition map and idle running timing position.
- Ignition timing is defined with trailing edge of trigger lobe at revs lower then first ignition point
(idle advance ... see drawing above).
- Ignition timing is defined with programmed map at revs higher then first ignition point.
Example: if first ignition point is programmed at 1500 rpm, then below 1500 rpm ignition timing is
defined with trailing edge of trigger lobe (idle advance ... see drawing above) and above 1500 rmp
ignition timing is defined by programmed ignition map.
Trigger mode 1 when reading from single edge.
Trigger mode 2 when reading from both edges.
Trigger mode 1 is suitable when no danger of kickback at starting. Smaller displacement engines
are less prone to kickback, also multi cylinder and high revving engines are less prone to kickback.
Trigger mode 2 is recommended for single cylinder engines with larger displacement and MX
motocross engines.
Trigger mode 2 enables fixed ignition advance at starting. Starting advance is defined by trailing
edge of trigger lobe. Ignition advance stay fixed from starting to programmed RPM at first ignition
point.

32. MEASURING STATIC ANGLE
Measuring correct static angle is very important. Wrong static angle will cause inaccurate ignition
advance. If static angle is programmed larger than mechanical static angle then ignition advance will
be smaller than programmed, or vice versa.
The most accurate procedure of measuring static angle is with dial gauge and strobe light.

15
Procedure applies to single and multiple cylinder engines. If you have a multi cylinder engine with
multple pickups it is recommended (but not required) that you perform this procedure on each
cylinder/pickup pair for most accurate timing.
Necessary tools:
- strobe light
- dial gauge
Follow the procedure:
Measure approximate static angle with a degree wheel, just to have starting point...look at the
drawing below.
Counterclockwise rotation:
Clockwise rotation:
。 program CDI with measured approximate static angle
。program CDI with flat ignition curve...16 deg advance is suitable for most engines.
。 find information about engine stroke and conrod length
。 convert programmed flat ignition advance angle to millimetres
Example:
α =16 deg (ignition advance)
L=110 mm (conrod length)
R=54/2=27 mm (engine stroke divided by 2)
T=1,3 mm (calculated ignition advance in mm)
Equation for calculating from degrees to millimetres:
a = ignition advancein degrees
T= ignition advance in mm
R= engine stroke divided by 2 in mm

16
L = conrod length in mm
Downloadable spreadsheet is available on request.
。remove sparkplug from cylinder head and mount dial gauge in cylinder.
。find TDC (Top Dead Centre)
。rotate engine backwards (opposite from running engine rotation) to calculated advance
in millimetres (in example above it is 1,3 mm) and make marks on rotor and stator
。remove dial gauge and install sparkplug back in cylinder head
。start engine and run at constant speed of 3000 rpm to 4000 rpm
。use a strobe light to check alignment of marks on rotor and stator
。adjust static angle with programmer to align marks on the rotor and stator
Result of above procedure is very accurate static angle.
Important!
。Static angle is reference point for CDI to calculate delay for programmed ignition
advance.
。Static angle has to be greater then maximum ignition advance!
。Example - If maximum advance in ignition map is 30 deg, then static angle has to
be at least 31 deg.
。Very large static angles are not a good solution, because it decreases
electronic ignition advance stability (do not use static angle greater then 45 deg if not necessary).
If you find when testing with your strobe light that your timing marks are off by 10, or more
degrees it may be neccessary to reverse the wiring from the reluctor pickup to the ignition and test
again. Reluctor pickups have polarity but it is rarely marked on the pickups so must be determined
by the trial and error method. Incorrect wiring polarity will cause the reluctor pickup to send the
trigger signal on the trailing edge of the rotor instead of the required leading edge of the rotor.
33. MONITORING
Connect programmer to PDCI 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, selected ignition curve,
TPS position...depends on setting in the menu.
Information!
You can connect, or disconnect PDCI 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!
