On Board Smart Glow Booster (sj-01)
The current supplied to the glowplug/s is precisely regulated to ensure the optimum ignition temperature and low power consumption, as well as a steady idle and smooth transition from idle to full throttle. The power supplied to the glowplug/s increases gradually as the throttle stick is pulled back further, this reduces glowplug failures and contributes to the smooth transition from idle to power. the unit also removes the need to carry a separare 4.8 to 6.0 volt supply and glowplug connector as it energises the glowplug for starting purposes. this has the added benefit that it is now unnecessary to drill holes in the cowling of a scale model for glowplug access.
The battery pack required for use with a single cylinder engine is 4.8-6.0volt. Capacity of the cells used in the battery should be as required for the model being flown. The typical current drain from the battery is around 1.0Amp, dependant on the type of glowing used.
