Gas Engine Ignition Control GS8

Product catalog summary

Overview: The GS8 Ignition Module by Gill Instruments is designed for engines with up to 8 cylinders. It is fully programmable using a Windows® based GUI software, allowing customization for various engine parameters such as the number of cylinders, ignition point based on load, speed, temperature, and fuel type. The module also features dwell time control with automatic supply voltage compensation to manage spark energy and duration.

Key Features: The GS8 is described as powerful, compact, reliable, and cost-effective. It is suitable for normally aspirated, turbo-charged, and lean-burn engines using LPG, natural gas, and bio gas. The module aims to minimize engine emissions and reduce development and setup times, thus lowering costs.
