Pichler On Board Glow System 15256
Version with 90° spark plug connector, suitable for all glow plugs (also OS)
Glow Power is a glow plug heater for methanol engines, also called glow. The voltage output is 1.4V when the motor is starting and then stabilizes at 0.8V during the run. The glow plug heating can either be operated via the receiver or manually via the enclosed, separate push button including status lighting.
The Glow Power glow plug heater can be connected and operated in different ways:
1. Directly via the receiver or receiver power supply
2. About the receiver and extra battery
3. Without receiver with pushbutton switch (included), additional battery

- Easy engine start
- Reliable, smooth engine running even at low speeds
- Better throttle response
- Nitromethane content in fuel can be reduced
- Also for multi-cylinder engines (a glow plug heater is required for each glow plug)
