GS4 Ignition module for Small Gas Engines - Gill Instruments Limited

The market for smaller gas engines requires an ignition system targeted to its requirements, the Gill Instruments GS4 ignition module provides just that, a cost efficient, yet advanced ignition system.

GS4 is a robust, solid-state electronic module that provides highly accurate and extremely powerful inductive ignition, which when tailored with the Gill range of ignition coils, produces spark durations well in excess of any CDI ignition system.

Applications:

• CHP Engines
• Generator Set Engines
• Compressor Engines
• Commercial Vehicle Engines
• Passenger Vehicle Engines

This power and accuracy enable the GS4 to control normally aspirated or turbo-charged engines, running on natural gas, bio gas, LPG and CNG in either lean burn or stoichiometric air/fuel ratios.

Features Include:

• Fully programmable via easy to use Windows® based GUI software
• Programmable for number of cylinders, up to 4
• Flexible User Security Feature
• Ignition point - fully programmable for load, speed and temperature
• User selectable dwell with automatic supply voltage compensation for total control of spark energy and duration
• Factory configurable for OEM engine timing disc patterns and sensors
• On-board visible status indicator
• Advanced diagnostics accessible via GUI

User-programmable via the Windows® GUI, these igniters provide extensive flexibility. With fully programmable speed mapping and load mapping curves, you can expect to see improved engine efficiency, lower exhaust emissions, reduced engine maintenance and decreased engine operating costs.

The programmed settings in a Gill ignition system can be protected by a user security feature, which ensures that only permitted personnel can amend them. This provides the user with the ability to configure engines for a specific requirement, with the peace of mind that once the engine has left his possession, changes to these settings cannot be made.

With the ability to be factory configured to accept timing information from OEM timing disks and sensors, GS4 reduces engine set-up and development times considerably, helping to ensure that costs are kept to a minimum.
