HITTO Inductive Xenon Timing Light (HTL-1023 / 10HTL1023)
The HITTO Inductive Xenon Timing Light (Model HTL-1023) is a vital diagnostic and adjustment tool used by automotive mechanics and enthusiasts to precisely measure and set the ignition timing on gasoline engines. By ensuring the spark occurs at the exact moment specified by the engine manufacturer, this tool helps to regain lost engine power and maximize fuel efficiency.
Key Features and Specifications
-
Inductive Pick-up: The tool utilizes a detachable, heavy-duty inductive pick-up clamp. This clamp is placed directly over the Number 1 cylinder spark plug wire. This design allows the light to detect the voltage pulse each time the spark plug fires without making a direct electrical connection.
-
Bright Xenon Flash Tube: It is equipped with a Xenon flash tube (bulb) that produces a super bright, highly concentrated light (strobe). This powerful flash makes the timing marks on the engine's pulley or flywheel highly visible, even in normal daylight or shop lighting conditions.
-
Wide Compatibility: The unit is designed to work on all 12-volt gasoline ignition systems, including vehicles with conventional, electronic, or computer-controlled ignition systems.
-
Durable Construction: Features a high-impact, impact-resistant ABS plastic housing with an ergonomically designed pistol-grip handle for comfort and ease of use.
-
Safety Features: Includes reverse polarity protection and may feature a neon double check indicator to confirm proper hookup and detect a faulty flash tube.
-
Performance Range: Capable of operating across a wide speed range, typically up to 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM).
Applications
The timing light is used to ensure the engine's timing is set to the manufacturer's specifications (degrees Before Top Dead Center or BTDC). This is achieved by aiming the flashing light at the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley or flywheel while the engine is running, making the marks appear frozen (stroboscopic effect).
