Booma RC Ignition (Iggy) Switch www.boomarc.
Congratulations for choosing the Booma RC Ignition (Iggy) Switch. IGGY is the result of 24 months of design and testing and was designed for giant scale RC enthusiasts by a giant scale RC enthusiast. IGGY is the world’s first 3 stage fail safe ignition switch in a compact, light weight, attractive and affordable package. Before you install IGGY please take the time to read these instructions. A few simple steps will have you successfully using this advanced product in no time at all.
Typical Connection Examples for IGGY.
Lead Connection Examples for IGGY. Battery input To Ignition Connection to Receiver Channel Battery input To Ignition Lets get started Connect IGGY as shown above. IGGY ‘s microprocessor draws it’s power from your receiver and is only in awake state while your receiver is switched on. Switching off power to your receiver will put IGGY to sleep and kill the ignition.
PLEASE NOTE: One of the safety features is that IGGY draws it’s power from your models’ receiver so IGGY is completely inoperable unless connected to your model’s receiver and the receiver is powered up! Iggy also requires one receiver channel to operate and is set to switch at approximately 50% of stick position. It is recommended to connect Iggy to a switch channel on your receiver and adjust the switch until IGGY operates as required.
Turning IGGY ON Booma RC ON OFF IGNITION After connecting IGGY (as shown on page 4) turn on the model’s receiver, IGGY will start to flash slowly. This is an indication that receiver power is being supplied to IGGY. While the Blue LED is flashing. PRESS the Yellow “ON/OFF” button. IGGY’s blue LED will start to flash faster indicating that IGGY is ready to arm the ignition circuit.
Turning IGGY OFF IGGY can disarm your models ignition system using 3 methods. 1) Normal Mode - Switch off via the transmitter. Approximately 0.5 of a second to switch off. Then switch off the receiver power. 2) Flight Buddy Mode - PRESS AND HOLD the Yellow “ON/OFF” button. IGGY will kill the ignition. 3) EMERGENCY Mode (all else fails) switch off the receiver’s power. No matter what mode you use IGGY will be ready to react to your command.

FACTS Why does IGGY turn OFF when I switch to a turn on condition via my transmitter? IGGY is designed to switch on from a pulse width greater that 50%. Reverse the switch condition on your transmitter will set it right. Can I use IGGY as a General Purpose Optically Isolated switch i.e not as an ignition switch? Yes you can, IGGY can be used for any general purpose function as long as the maximum recommended voltage (60V) and current draw (4A or 6A) is observed.
