| E-MAG is pleased to
introduce our 114 series ignition. It will be the underlying
platform for both our Continental and Lycoming (and like)
engines. While there are a number of noteworthy changes in the
114, we don't want to overstate (or understate) the significance of
this new iteration. The E-MAG platform is very near "final
form" - ready to begin FAA certification. So at this
stage, changes are
oriented more toward refinement than revolution. Bolstering ignition
reliability is the primary goal. |

Series 114 Refinements:
- New sensor magnet mount - New design and manufacturing
process for position sensor magnet mount.
- Firmware - The routine for setting, storing, and loading
timing information has been completely rewritten to assist recovery functions
following gray power and system reset events. [This feature was first introduced in firmware
version 27 for installation in series 113 ignitions.]
- Sensor Alignment Alert - If the processor detects a position sensor
misalignment (typically an installation anomaly), it will block
further operation until proper alignment is restored. The block
also activates an LED alert signal.
- 12/24 Volt Power - Units now work with either 12 or 24 volt
systems and have additional over voltage protection.
- Internal Power Transition - P models will transition to internal power as soon as engine speed permits
(typically around 1500 rpm), at which point the internal alternator
becomes the "primary" power sources and the
aircraft buss becomes the "back-up".
- Finned Nose - Fins have been added to the nose section
that (in conjunction with blast tubes) further improve cooling, and
permits sealing of
the electronics case.
- Spark Plug Alerts - Circuit board hardware is added to report
(via EICAD v4 to be
released soon) the
ignition coil discharge rate.
- A rapid discharge rate indicates a spark plug or plug lead is fouled (shorted).
- A slow discharge rate indicates a spark plug or plug lead is
open (broken).
