5. Орнотуу жана орнотуу
5.1 Mounting the Ignition Box
Select a mounting location that is away from direct engine heat, excessive vibration, and moisture. The unit should be securely fastened using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit for cooling.
5.2 Зымдарды туташтыруу
Refer to the detailed wiring diagram provided in the separate MSD installation guide for specific connections. Key connections include:
- Күч жана жер: Connect directly to the battery for optimal performance.
- От алдыргыч: Connect to a switched 12V source.
- Катушкалардын туташуулары: Ensure correct polarity to the ignition coil.
- Триггер киргизүү: Connect to the distributor or crank trigger signal.
- MAP Sensor (Optional): For advanced timing control, a MAP sensor can be integrated. An extension cable may be required, as the sensor cable on the unit is short.
All connections should be crimped securely and insulated to prevent shorts and corrosion. Use the provided terminals where applicable.

5.3 PC Connection for Programming
The MSD 6530 connects to a computer via a serial port for programming. Most modern laptops require a USB to serial adapter. Ensure the adapter is compatible and drivers are installed correctly. The Pro-Data+ Software is required for configuration.
6. Иштөө нускамалары
6.1 Pro-Data+ Software Overview
The Pro-Data+ Software provides an interface to customize the ignition box settings. This includes:
- Timing Curves: Create custom ignition timing curves based on RPM and manifold pressure (if MAP sensor is used).
- Rev Limits: Set up to three distinct rev limits for launch, burnout, and maximum RPM.
- Launch Control: Configure launch RPM for consistent starts.
- Shift Light: Program an external shift light output.
Install the Pro-Data+ Software on your Windows-based computer. Connect the serial cable to the ignition box and your computer (via adapter if necessary). Launch the software and establish communication with the unit. Follow the on-screen prompts and software manual for detailed programming steps.
6.2 Орнотууларды тууралоо
Within the Pro-Data+ software, you can graphically adjust timing curves and numerical values for rev limits. Changes made in the software must be uploaded to the ignition box to take effect. This process typically takes 30-45 seconds. It is recommended to save your configuration fileүзгүлтүксүз.
