What are the DC toggle switches for?
• The HKS uses a DC CDI. It must have 12 V positive supplied for starting. Once running, the integral alternator will power the ignition if battery fails. Regardless, the ignition switching circuit must be closed for operation and open for shut down. So, a high quality switch is required. A conventional aircraft switch with Off, Left, Right, Both, Start, will not work, because these open the circuit for “on” and close it for “off”. Consequently, high quality DC toggle switches are required. In order to have a keyed system, Green Sky generally recommends a conventional Old style automotive key switch with Accessory, Off, On, Start, positions. This can easily be wired as a keyed master / start switch. With the reg rec and ignition lead wired to the IGN terminal, 12V+ is supplied for ignition via the battery when the key is turned to on or start position and via the integral alternator regardless of key position.
