GRAUPNER Smart Glow Plugs Booster Owner's manual

Brand: GRAUPNER

Model: Smart Glow Plugs Booster

Type: Owner's manual

• The current supplied to the glow plug/s is precisely regulated to ensure the optimum ignition

temperature and low power consumption, as well as a steady idle and smooth transition from

idle to full throttle. The power supplied to the glow plug/s increases gradually as the throttle

stick is pulled back further, which reduces glow plug failures and contributes to the smooth

transition from idle to full power. The unit also removes the need to carry a separate

1.2 to 2 volt supply and glow plug connector as it energizes the glow plug for starting

purposes. This has the added benefit that it is now unnecessary to drill holes in the cowling

of a scale model for glow plug access.

• The battery pack required to use with a single cylinder engine is 2.4volt (2 cells). Capacity

of the cells used in the battery should be considered for the model being flown. The typical

current drain from the battery is around 1.0Amp and may differ depending on the type of

glow plug used.

• When used with twin engines, or a twin cylinder engine, the glow plugs should be connected

in series as shown below. In this application the glow plug battery pack should be made up

of 3 cells (3.6Volt). Typical current drain in this usage is around 7-800mA.

CONNECTIONS

SPECIFICATION

• The servo lead from the Glow 2 unit should be connected to a “Y” lead which is also used for the

throttle servo and is connected to the throttle output of the receiver. Alternatively, if a programmable

transmitter is being used, the Glow 2 lead can be plugged into a spare receiver output and mixed with

the throttle channel (mixer set to 100%). This removes the need for the “Y” lead.

• The red LED acts as an adjustment aid and also doubles to confirm the correct operation of the system.

It illuminates while the Glow 2 unit provides power to the glow plug.

• The adjustment potentiometer is used to set the position where the Glow 2 unit begins to provide power

to the glow plug, (and the LED lights). The throttle stick should be set to the position where the glow plug

is required to light, and then the potentiometer should be adjusted so that the plug does indeed begin

to light. Pulling the throttle stick back further should result in the glow plug continuing to glow.

If the glow plug lights when the throttle is set to full, the throttle output needs to be reversed.

The LED can be positioned in the cockpit as part of the dashboard, or through the fuselage side.

• When used with an inline twin cylinder engine, a hotter rated glow plug should be used for the front

cylinder to keep the combustion temperature similar.

• Please note that as the glowplug is energised all the time that the throttle stick is in the low position,

the radio equipment in the model should be kept switched off until the model is ready to be started.

If this is not done, the battery in the model will run flat or the glowplug will burn out.
