We use the control signals to send 14ma through
optocouplers on each of the four firing circuit boards
A+ and A are
daisy chained
B+ and B are
daisy chained
(for complementary
outputs)
So, each 14mA control signal passes through two optocouplers in series
11
24V control signals from the comparators, less 3.2V drop across two
series optocoupler LEDs, and with 14mA, requires about 1.5k of
resistance in series with the daisy-chained optocouplers
With 14mA, the LED of each optocoupler has about 1.6V drop
If applied half the time, 24V across a 1.5k resistor would produce
about 0.2W. So, it is a good idea to size up to W resistors.
12
Thus, you use W series resistors between the
comparator chip and the output terminals

#22 wire, use green for ground, red for

Carefully break an 8-pin SIP socket in
half. Do this by clamping on one-half
with your long-nose pliers, and then
bending the other half down with your
fingers. It should be a clean break.
