The self-powered MOT601 is a Capacitor Discharge (CD)
Ignition System for use on spark-ignited, single cylinder
engines with large flywheels. Engine mounted, very close to
the flywheel, the electronic components are supplied with
power by magnetic charging circuitry.

Features
• Applicable for single cylinder applications with
different flywheel sizes
• Self-powered electromagnetic system, no need
for external power
• High primary energy
• Using crankshaft reference timing
• High accuracy ignition timing
• 2 separate ignition timings (startup and nominal)
• Safety shutdown input
• Supplies panel power

Benefits
• Price effective system and parts
• Mainly maintenance-free system due to
non-moving parts that wear out
• All components available as spare parts and
interchangeable with competitor products
• 1 year warranty
• Available as complete system or single subcomponents.

Mode of Operation
The charging bar (5) with three strong magnets attached
to the flywheel passes the charging generator module(3)
that is attached to the engine in a fixed position at every
revolution of the flywheel. At every revolution the generator
module charges a capacitor in the electronic ignition module(2)
as a result of the magnetic field.

The trigger bar (6) with two magnets, which is likewise attached
to the flywheel, passes a pickup coil (4) that is attached to the
engine in a fixed position at every revolution of the engine.
When the trigger bar passes the pickup coil, the energy stored in
the capacitor is discharged into the attached ignition coil (7).
