Connection of additional glow plug
All glow plugs have 10 be connected to GlowControl 5* as seen at the sketch
(ie. cylinder 1-3 to yellow cable, 4-5 plus the additional glow plug to the blue
cable).
For the extra glow plug you will find an angular bracket in the supply range.
Please mount the bracket on a heat resistant surface (no wood) and connect it
electrically with a ground cable (min. I mm2) to the motor block.
In case the extra plug is VIsible after installation you have also an optical
monitor for the glow function.
Counectiou of glow plug cable and ground cable
(if in supply range included)
The glow plug cable GI)(~ should be connected to the glow plug as shown in
the sketch. It will be fixed with a locker screw. Because of thermal reasons
please leave a small gap of 0,5 - I mm (app. 0,04") between plug and cable
connector.
The ground cable GC is connected to the engine chassis according to the
-sketch below, To ensure a safe electrical connection please lise a s,'rrated
washer between engine and cable connector.

Handling of the Jumper
Please handle the jumper with care. Pull and stick them by use of fingers or tweezers. Pick them only at the foreseen tlat end. Keep the unused jumper safe. Definition of glow range
The glow range is calculated by the micro controller from different values, The basic information are the programmed values, GlowControl computes from this the glow range. It starts at the programmed value and ends in idle position plus app.50% of trim range. The "autoboost" functIon can be active also out of glow range. hitzebestandiger
