ESM Ignition System

Proprietary ignition diagnostic capability to determine spark plug wear, with

settable limits
Dual ignition levels for ease of starting and longer plug life
Knock sensors for each cylinder (instead of every other cylinder)
Monitor every combustion event
Self calibrating
Adjusts timing based on severity
of knock

Maximizes spark plug life

Superior engine protection for
varying fuels

Initial ESP Setup

ESM is programmed at the factory based on

information from the engine order
The following inputs should be verified on-site
1. Load inertia (based on driven equipment)
2. Fuel WKI
3. AFR rich/lean limits
4. Perform manual calibration of throttle
actuator
