Series 1 EMS Coil Dwell  
 
Open the coil dwell template in AEM Pro by clicking on the ignition drop down menu and 
going to Ignition>advanced ignition>coil dwell setup>coil dwell.  Enter the values shown 
below in Table 2 into the Dwell vs Batt Volts Table.  The Dwell vs R PM Table should 
remain constant at a value of 100.  Enter a value of 30 into the Coil Dwell Factor option.   
See Figure 14  below.

ECU Trigger   
 
The Four Channel Coil Driver included in this kit requires a 5V logic level trigger signal 
that is configured to fire the coil on its falling edge.  See Figure 15  below.  
 
 
EMS Jumper Settings  
   
The  default factory  jumper settings on the AEM EMS units wil l need to be changed in 
order to work with the new signal requirements for the EPM and Igniter.   The jumpers 
are on the EMS circuit boards, making it necessary to remove the circuit boards from 
the EMS enclosure.  Remove the four screws from the front faceplate of the EMS 
enclosure  and remove the faceplate .  See Figure 16 below.  Figure 15.  Falling Edge Trigger Signal

Remove the four mounting screws on the bottom of the EMS enclosure.  See Figure 1 7 
below.  
 
 
 
 
 
Slide the circuit boards out of the enclosure as shown below in Figure 18 .

Remove the four screws and spacers that hold the two circuit boards together.   The 
screws are threaded into round nuts on the bottom of the boards.  See Figures 19 and 
20  below.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With the four screws and spacers removed, the circuit boards can be separated.  Hold 
the circuit boards as shown below in Figure 21.

Separating the circuit boards requires some patience and caution.  It works well to think 
of the circuit board assembly as a hardcover book, with eac h circuit board being a 
cover.  Begin to separate the circuit boards, similar to opening a book.  Close the circuit 
boards and open again.  This may take several tries.  The connector between the circuit 
boards will loosen up a little each time the circuit  boards are opened and closed.  See 
Figure  22 below.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With the circuit boards separated,  locate the JPT and JPC jumpers.  The JPT and JPC 
jumpers each have three pins.  A “jumper” is placed over two of the pins, connecting the 
two pins together.  The pins are numbered one, two and three.  Pin one is designated 
by a “1” on the circuit board.   See Figures 23 and  24 below  for examples of jumper 
positions.

Place the jumpers in the positions listed in Table 3 .  Only the jumpers li sted below 
should be moved for this installation.

The EMS is ready to be reassembled after setting the jumpers.   When reconnecting the 
circuit boards, be sure all the pins are lined up correctly before fully inserting the 
connector.  With the pins correctly lined up, hold the EMS as shown below in Figure 25 .

Once reassembled, install the EMS and reconnect the battery cables.  Model specific 
EMS  instructions  are included with each EMS kit and are available online in the 
“Instructions and Manual” section of the  AEM Performance  Electronics Foru m at  
http://fo rum.aempower.com/forum/index.php?board=90.0.   NOTE: THE STEPS 
OUTLINED IN THE EMS INSTRUCTION MANUAL MUST BE FOLLOWED WHEN 
INSTALLING THE EMS.  
 
NOTE:  IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TIMING BE CONFIRMED ON EACH CYLINDER 
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE!  
 
Syncin g the EMS  Timing 
 
NOTE: THE  EMS TIMING MUST BE SYNCED BEFORE TUNING  
Start the engine and make whatever adjustments may be needed to sustain a safe and 
reasonably smooth idle. Verify the ignition timing: Select  Wizards>>Ignition Timing 
Sync  from the  pull -do wn menu.  Click  the ‘ Lock Ignition Timing’ checkbox  and set the 
timing to a safe and convenient value (for instance, 10 degrees BTDC), see Figure 26  
below.  Use a timing light and compare the physical timing numbers to the timing value 
you selected. Use the  Sync Adjustment Increase/Decrease  buttons to make the 
physical reading match the timing number you selected.

FACTORY TACHOMETER Setup  
 
Normally the distributor provides the input signal for the tachometer , but with the  Honda 
COP kit installed your car will  no longer  be  using a distributor. The tachometers signal 
wire is now left connected to nothing. There is however a simple fix  for this provided by 
the Series 2 EMS. The Series 2 EMS provides a signal output for the tachometer.   
Connect the signal input from your tachometer to the appropriate pin for the EMS you 
are using.  Pin locations for the 30- 6040, 30-6050, and 30- 6060 Series 2 EMS units are 
shown below in Table 6. The ground and power wires of your tachometer will  still 
remain connected as they were before.

Ensure that  the tacho signal that will be generated by your EMS is set up correctly.  
Open the c alibration you are using in AEMTuner and view the “Tacho- Speedo” tab. 
Make sure the “Tacho Options”  table matches  the settings shown below in Table 7  and 
that the Tacho table looks like Figure 30 below.
