LUMENITION

Lumenition Ignition Systems Replace contact breaker points and some OE Electronic Ignition Systems and eliminate the problems associated with contact points which can lead to: •   Poor starting •   Loss of performance •   High Fuel consumption Installation is as easy as fitting contact points with no permanent modifications and carried out in less than an hour. Contact points can therefore be re-fitted if originality becomes important. Once fitted, it will never require any further maintenance for optimum timing. How it Works Instead of having a mechanical contact set, Lumenitions Systems use three basic components; An Optical Switch (mounted in the distributor) An infra red light beam is detected by a silicon phototransistor. This beam is interrupted by a revolving chopper fixed to the distributor cam and has one blade for each cylinder. It is unaffected by light, dirt and dampness. The optical switch is fixed to the same plate as were the points, so that speed and vacuum advance remain unchanged. The Power Module This receives the electronic pulses from the optional switch and using an internal High power Darlington transistor charges the coil. The Exact positioning of the chopper determines spark timing, and dwell time is determined either by the width of the chopper or internally to give variable dwell performance. A Distributor fitting Kit In order to mount the optical switch in exactly the right position in the distributor, specifically engineered mounting plates and brackets have been developed to ensure perfect installations and in vast majority of cases without any permanent modifications. Installation is also possible without any special tools. Two Systems Exist The Optronic System This is for strightforward points replacement using the existing coil offering excellent all round performance and is ideal for all road and classic cars as well as boats. The Performance System This system is more suited to high speed engines and is ideal for all performance drivers, particularly race and rally applications. 3 simple steps to trouble free happy motoring Determine the make and model of distributor fitted to your engine. Decide Optronic or Performance ignition. Order appropriate Fitting Kit and Power Module Comprises of OEM spec, ignition module and optical switch, wiring and mounting screws. Features of the Optronic System •   Contactless operation. •   High power output transistor gives fast and accurate switching of coil. •   Fixed dwell gives higher performance from existing coil under all conditions •   Fully compatible with the Lumenitions engine rev limiters for complete engine protection.

Distributor Fitting Kits Required for Optronic and Performance Ignition Lumenition have engineered a complete range of distributor fitting kits that contain all the necessary choppers, adapters, screws, grommets etc. to ensure an OEM standard installation is achieved. A full application list is available.   Most makes of distributor are covered e.g. Lucas. Bosch, Ford, Ducelliiier, Mitsubishi, MotorCraft, Mallory, Nippon Denso, Hitachi, LADA, SEV, Marchal, A.C. Delco, Magneti Marelli etc.

Performance Ignition Systems The performance ignition takes you beyond the standard system and as its name suggests, is specifically for the performance driver who appreciates the importance of the ignition system and demands more Comprises •   High performance power module & optical switch •   High energy ignitions coil. electronically matched to power module All necessary mounting brackets, screws, waterproof connectors, assembly, ignition wire, cable tidy, adapters and rubber boots and plug tools. Feature of Performance Ignitions •   Microcircuits control of the coil currents - gives optimum performance across speed and voltage range, ensuring constant maximum spark energy at coil. •   Variable dwell angle - optimise energy use to prevent low speed coil overheat. •   Automatic switch off - prevent electrical damage in the event of ignition begin left on but with instant switch on when engine is again turned over. •   Fully compatible with the Lumenition engine rev limiters for complete protection.
