Product Details
Universal Ignition Mate Tester by OptiMate®. Ignition system trouble shooting tool, compare two different signals on 1 cylinder. The compact dual-display peak-voltage ignition tester that makes trouble-shooting all types of spark ignition systems easier, surer, quicker. Ignition signals are fast, high voltage, pulses of energy that can damage even a good digital multimeter whereas the IgnitionMate has been specially designed to measure and dynamically display both primary and secondary ignition signals on bright LED bargraph displays.

Features
- The application of this versatile tool is based on two basic points:
- Different types of ignition systems (AC-CDI, DC-CDI, transistor, magneto, coil & ‘points’) have the same basic components with signals measured being generally similar in nature and magnitude.
- No disassembling of ignition components are required. (This avoids accidentally introducing, or correcting, poor contacts in the system, which may further confuse and delay resolution of the unidentified problems.)
- Two signals from the same cylinder can be compared simultaneously, including:
- Secondary high tension / peak volts – 10, 20, 40 kV scales – use the caliper to measure high voltage between the ignition coil and the sparkplug.
- SPARK current – measure the consistency of the high voltage spark current signal and find / see misfires.
- Primary low tension / peak volts – 10, 40 or 400Vpk scales – use the RED & BLACK silicon tester cables to measure primary signals between the ICU and the power supply (battery or charge coil), timing pick-up (pulse coil or hall sensor), ignition coil and switches (key, emergency stop, footstand, throttle).
- The power-sports vehicle industry’s most recommended problem-solving ignition trouble-shooting tool. STYLE / INCLUDED : The standard kit includes the instrument with rugged rubberized protective and mounting holster, combination spark cable caliper pick-up with silicon lead, stick-coil adapter, silicon test lead set with insulated crocodile clips and Probulator back probes, 12VDC 6 ½ ft / 200cm power lead, instruction manual & quick reference guide all packed in a custom carry case.

Two signals from the same cylinder can be compared simultaneously, including:
- 2ndary high tension / peak volts – 10, 20, 40 kV scales – use the caliper to measure high voltage between the ignition coil and the sparkplug.
- SPARK current – measure the consistency of the high voltage spark current signal and find / see misfires.
- Primary low tension / peak volts – 10, 40 or 400Vpk scales – use the RED and BLACK silicon tester cables to measure primary signals between the ICU and the power supply (battery or charge coil), timing pick-up (pulse coil or hall sensor), ignition coil and switches (key, emergency stop, footstand, throttle).
Since 1994, OptiMate® high performance battery chargers have been saving batteries other chargers can’t, then improving performance and extending life of AGM, GEL & STD lead-acid and LiFePO4 lithium batteries in power sport / motorcycle, automotive, motorsport, light aircraft and deep cycle applications world-wide. And they save OptiMate owners money – OptiMate’s energy saving, plug-in-anywhere (100-240V) electronics deliver more charge for less. If AC power is a problem, they have SOLAR and DC charging options too!
