TRW Lumenition Electronic Ignition System Conversion Kit n October 8, 1975 II.. System Description The TRW/Lumenition Electronic Ignition System is a breakerless ignftton system kit intended to replace the breaker points within the distributor. It consists of a control rotor, a position sensor, and a transistor switchingunit;> This device utilizes the ignition coil supplied with the vehicle. The control rotor (chopper) isvplaced over the cam of the distributor and bas windows cut for four, six or eight cylinder engine — applications. The position sensor operates in conjunction with the control —rotor and consists of a light emitting diode and an'infrafed defiecfior; . The—signals derived—by the position sensor—are fed to a. power unit which > Camplifies the signal and accomplishes transistor switching ofthe primary voltage to the ignition coil.> {Reference Appendix A and B) .

Drachand, Chief Vehicle Compliance Air Resources Board Laboratory 9528 Telstar Avenue Ei Monte, California 91713 RE: TRW/Lumenition Breakerless Ignition System Conversion Kit Dear Mr. Drachand: On September 26, 1975, Mr. R.J. Kenny pointed out to our Hr. Mc Cue that our kit no. 626—036 (Ford 6—cy1.) exceeded the ARB criteria for timing variation when centrifugal advance data is added to the vacuum advance data. We are presently analyzing this situation to determine the problem, if there is a problem. Meanwhile, in order not to hold up approval on the other models, we will temporarily withdraw our application for kit no. 626—036. We‘will resubmit 626—036 along with other kits at a later date. This leaves under application, per my—letter of August 15, 1975, and my letter of September 12, 1975, to Mr. Kenny with corrected data, the follow— . ing kits: 626—021 4—Cylinder Bosch 626—023 6—Cylinder Bosch 626—028 V8 Bosch 626—027 4—Cylinder VW (Bosch) Industrial 626—006 V8 Delco (GM and AMC) Can I assume that when our app11cat1on is approved, it will allow an 0.E {e.g. BMW) to sell vehicles in California equipped w1th the appropr1ate Lumenition installation?

Drachand, Cfiief Vehicle Cempliance Air Resources Board Laboratory 9528 Telstar Avenue E1 Monte, California 91713 RE: yourLETTEROf J(1E 5, 1975———TRN LUMENITION BREAKERLESS IGNITION SY COHVERSIONKIT — Dear Hr. Drachand: The answers to your questions are as follows: (1)~ Test data requested is shown on the attached data sheefs 1 — 16. (2) Attached is revised Exhibft III, Part 1, showing part numbers as requested. — (3) The Lumenition system is not compatible with after—market or 0.E.M. C—D ignition systems, and we do not recommend interfacing the. two kinds of devices. The Lumention system is designed to replace the breaker points with a permanent, non—adjustable photo—optic trigger, which still uses the Kettering principle for energy storage. This means that the O.E.M. coil sees the same kind of signal it would receive if the points were still in place. If a vehicle has an existing C—D system, we reconmend replacing it with the Lumenition sys tem and a standard coil and standard spark plugs. The Lumenition system is not compat1b1e with dual point distributors where one set of points is used to retard timing for emission control. . As a result, we do not have kits for such vehicles. (5) To our knowledge, the only vehic]es we retrofit with unequal .cam angles are pre—1968 Type 1. 2 and 3Vu1k,wagcns Ac;ord1ng to Volkswagen of America, the number 3 spark plug firing was retarded 3° to overcome an overheating problem with that cylinder. VW of America recormends to its! dealers. to replace worn pre—1968 distributors with new dis— tributors. which have equal cam angles. To overcome the overheating problem, Lhey racominend retarding the spark 3° from original manu— facturer‘s specifications.

CGENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE LUMENITION®SYSTEM Lumenition® is a breakerleés, optically triggered electronic _subsystem for controlling the ignition of a spark ignited internal combustion engine. As presently manufactured it is a retrofit package, making use of the OEM distributor by direct substitution for the breaker points, It is designed to use the OEM coil, but high performance requirements are met _ by the use of a special coil in conjunéfion with the electronic package. _ It operates as follows: Infrared radiation from a light emitting diode is focused on the junction of a phototransistor; a slotted sheet metal or plastic disc affixed to the distributor shaft interrupts the beam, producing \ an on—off signal for spark control. The opto—electronic trigger signal (basically a measure of crankshaft positién) is amplified and used to control a power semiconductor which < actualiy sfiit_ches the coil primary currefif and so controls the spark’ene_rgy. Since both the initi.ation z;nd interruption of the coil current are controlled ' 'By the optically generated sigfial, spairk tirn-ing is only a function of crankshaft position. The performance, then, is vei‘y much the same as a properiy . adjusted breaker point system, but the absence of any moving parts in rubbing contact makes the initial timing adjustments permanent.

TESTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRW/LUMENITION IGNITION SYSTEM (NEGATIVE GROUND ONLY) F the—system is operating we do not recommend routine tesfing. ectronics do not deteriorate and therefore only the spark plugs, rotor arm, distributor d spark plug leads require checking, service, or replacement. n the event that the system is not functioning first check all conmnections. In partifcular, erify that a good ground connectfon exists all the way to the battery. Iif in doubt, emporarily jumper battery negative terminal to ground terminal of power unit. he system comprises three main components: POWER AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY — TRIGGER ASSEMBLY (LENSED UNIT} cHoprer ) TO TEST COMPLETE SYSTEM ‘T) Remove the spark coil High Tension (H.T.) lead from the distributor and hold it 1/4" from grounded frame. On cranking the engine sparking should occur between the lead and frame. 3 TO TEST THE POWER AMPLIFIER ASSEMBEY 1)° Unp]ug the dlstrlbutor at the 3—pin connector. 2) Remove the H,T Coil lead at the distributor and hold it 1/4" to 1/2" from a good ground. 3) .Turn on the ignition switch. ‘) Ey means of a small piece of wire shaped like a hair pin connect the b?u;e wire to the ‘"black wire on the heat sink side of the 3—pin connector. When breaking this connection sparks should occur between the H.T. lead and ground. 5) —If there is a very weak spark check the colil. If there is no sfiark suspect a power amplifier fault. 6) Before testing trigger, verify that correct voltages exist at power amplifier. terminals. _With connector disconnected, the following voltages should exist with ignition on: 3—pin connector between black (~) and red (+]) leads 7V + IJV . 3—pin connector between black (~) and blue (+) leads 0. EV + 0. 3V vehicle frame to battery ground: less than O.1V vehicle frame to blue ring terminal: 12 + 2V vehicle frame to red ring terminal: 12 +2V (battery voltage} vehicle frame to black ring terminal (ground)} less than O0.1V TESTING THE TRIGGER ASSEMBLY (LENSED UNIT) This test is only valid with a good Power Amplifier Assembly. With the TRW/Lumenition system completely wired up, including the 3—pin connector, and the ignition switch on, connect the positive lead of Voltmeter carefully to the blue lead at the back of the 3~ pin connector, and connect the negative lead of the Voltmeter to the black ring terminal. With an uninterrupted beam of light between lenses the meter should read 0.1 to 0.2 volts. With an interrupted beam of light the meter should read 0.6 to 0.9 volts (use finger to .’nterrupt light beam). Before suspecting Lensed Unit ensure good Voltmeter con»nections. NOTE: The light beam is invisible to the human eye? FORM 6315
