Description:

GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER is the most function-

al glow plug driver, it can supply power through an outside

trigger button or remote control to trigger the glow plug, it is

absolutely a substitute for traditional handhold glow plug, es-

pecially useful for starting up those aircraft models with multi-

cylinder engine, it supports cascade working mode, powered

by receiver or through independent power, it supports any

multi-cylinder engine under cascade working mode.

It can be controlled through an idle designated two gear or

three gear switch. Relevant LED light on the driver will re-

mind user when it detects the glow plug is short-circuit or bro-

ken circuit.

The device applied micro controller to realize its control logic,

by using synchronous rectifier chip and super low resistance

component, its efficiency reaches as high as 95%, as a re-

sult, functions such as manual control, auto control and re-

mote control, half power driving, full power driving etc. are

achieved.

The device is of constant 1.4V output, it can adjust its output

current automatically according to the working status of the

glow plug, to make sure the working temperature is on the

best temperature and still keep normal temperature even the

glow plug is drown in the fuel.

Worry-free for burnt damage from short circuit of glow plug,

as it gets short circuit and overheat protection, it will enter

protection state if the working temperature is too high be-

cause of long time and continuous working, as soon as the

temperature returns to normal, it will continue working.

Typical application

A: Receiver

B: Manual trigger button

C: 4.8V~6V battery pack

D: GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER control board

E：Glow plug, black cable connects the bell of engine, red

cable connects glow plug

Dimension drawing for installation of the trigger but-

ton:

How to install it: drill three holes in place according to

size in the above drawing, two 3mm holes, one 10.5mm

hole, and fix the button onto the cabin by screws.

Glow Plug Driver for General use -------UUpgraded from Two Cylinder Engine R/C Glow Plug Driver Features: ■ 4.5V ~16V self detective ■Constant voltage output:1.
PAGE 2
Appearance of GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER There are 2 LED lights on GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER in total, one LED light is on PCB, and the other is on its button. 1) Introduction for ports There are three ports in total on the PCB of GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER. Port 1 is for control button; Port 2 is for power supply and remote control; Port 3 is for glow plug driver.
PAGE 3
Inside the trigger button, there are a button switch and a red LED from which 3 cables come, black cable B is signal wire, red cable R is a switch signal wire for the trigger button, Yellow cable is signal wire for LED light. There are two operation ways for the button:　short press and long press (more than 2 seconds) which will trigger different working mode respectively.

) 10 kinds of working mode Mode 1, manual trigger: Connection diagram as the following, short press the trigger button, indicator light flashes slowly (on 0.5 second, off 0.5 second), after 5 seconds’ time lag, output 30 seconds in full power, glow plug turned red hot state which is suitable for starting up engine, then power is turned off automatically and enters standby.

Mode 3: manual trigger or remote control trigger This is a typical operation mode of GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER, it is controlled through receiver or manual.
PAGE 6
Mode 5: Remote control constant working mode Under this mode, you need to short connect signal wire B and R to the trigger button, when you pull the three-gear switch (corresponds to the channel on transmitter) to mid gear, GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER will be on half power output, pull the switch to up gear, GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER will be on full power output which will be no limitation from 30 seconds or 5 minutes protection, user should pay attention to the risk of running down the battery, especia

MODE 6: Button trigger cascade working mode Connection diagram as the following, this is a creative trigger way of GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER, through which 1 to N pieces of GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER can work at the same time. Under this working mode, only module 1 needs to connect the trigger button, all the other modules don’t need a trigger button but parallel connected all the remote control cables.
PAGE 8
MODE 7: long press trigger button cascade working mode Connection diagram is as the following, only through one trigger button, 1 to N pieces of GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER module can work together at the same time. Under this working mode, only module 1 needs to connect the trigger button, all the other modules don’t need a trigger button but parallel connected all the remote control cables.
PAGE 9
Mode 8: Remote control cascade trigger mode Under this working mode, we strongly recommend an independent battery for modules of GENERAL USE GLOW PLUG DRIVER, not sharing a battery with receiver.
PAGE 10
Mode 9: Constant output cascade working mode The connection diagram is as the following. Before it is powered, the signal cable B and R on the trigger button of each module need to be short connected, all the cables for remote control need to be connected in parallel, one control switch SW needs to be added.
PAGE 11
Mode 10: remote control constant cascade working mode Connection diagram is as the following: before it is powered, short connect all the B and R on all the trigger button, and all the cables for remote control are connected in parallel, only signal cable and earthed cable are connected with receiver, driver module group and receiver gets its own battery pack for power supply.
