{tab Features}
The General Technologies TA500 multisystem ignition analyzer with its unique technology, enables its user to perform several tasks reliably and quickly. These include diagnostics of non-starts, misfires, damaged or fouled up spark plug wires and/or sparkplugs themselves.
The TA500 works by comparing the spark burn time and spark plug voltage readings between the engine cylinders. As it makes use of inductive pick up technology to measure voltage and current, it works well with systems such as Coil near Plug, Coil on Plug, Distributor-less ignition systems (DIS), conventional distributor ignition coil and magneto ignition systems.
This handheld wireless device is very easy to use as it does not require any special adapters, a scope or cables. Further, it comes with a digital display that is large enough to show readings such as spark burn time, spark plug voltage, RPM and minimum/maximum in real time.
Features of TA500 Smartach COP
- The handheld device is capable of measuring the voltage of spark plugs in the range of 0 to 50,000 Volts.
- It has the ability to measure spark burn time in the range of 0 to 10 ms.
- Its special antenna sensor enables quick testing of not only Coil near Plug and Coil on Plug modules, but also allows it to be easily hooked up to ignition coil and spark plug wires.
- Its special antenna sensor enables quick testing of not only Coil near Plug and Coil on Plug modules, but also allows it to be easily hooked up to ignition coil and spark plug wires.
- It is not necessary to provide ground wire connections.
- The comprehensive user’s manual provides descriptive information about the multiple diagnostic applications that it can handle.
TA500’s Handheld Wireless Tachometer Function
The tachometer functions offered by the TA500 Smartach COP of General Technologies include the following:
- It can be used on both two and four stroke engines having 1 to as many as 12 cylinders with special DIS (waste spark or Distributor-less) mode.
- It is capable of measuring RPMs ranging from 200 to as much as 20,000 and displaying on a four-and-a-half-digits LCD display.
- The device makes use of advanced micro-controller technology and therefore delivers an accuracy of 0.5 percent.
- The device is compatible with Coil near Plug, Coil on plug, waste spark or distributor-less (DIS), magneto, conventional and other spark ignition systems.
{tab How to use}
The simple and easy to use handheld multisystem ignition analyzer TA500 can be put to use as follows:
As an Ignition Analyzer
When you place the capacitive sensor of the antenna over the ignition coil wire, a spark plug or on top of a Coil on Plug module, it displays spark burn time and spark peak voltage.
As a Tachometer
For the device to work as a tachometer, the ignition system type and number of cycles have to be first set. Then the capacitive sensor can be placed on the spark plug wire or Coil on Plug module. The RPM will now be displayed on the LCD screen.
Selectable Display Functions
The users can set the display either to show all the three measurements – spark burn time, spark plug voltage and RPM – simultaneously or one measurement alone in real time with maximum/minimum readings of the selected parameter.
Spark Capture Mode
Maximum/minimum readings capture the spark burn time and spark peak voltage and enable users to test ignition systems and diagnose no-start conditions.
