Generator IZH Planet 5 wiring diagram

Checking the serviceability of the generator can be done on a motorcycle without disassembling the generator.

To carry out the work you will need a multimeter.

1. Place the motorcycle on the center stand or side stand.

2. Disconnect the battery by removing its fuse.

3. Remove the right cover of the power unit.

4. 6mm

unscrew the nuts securing the five “upper” wires of the generator. In order not to confuse the wires during subsequent assembly, we mark them or tie them with thin wire so that we get a cable.

5. Check the short circuit of the stator windings to ground. To do this, touch the probes of the multimeter to the generator housing and alternately the three terminals of the windings. The ohmmeter should show infinity.

6. Check the stator windings for breaks. To do this, touch the probes of the multimeter in turn to all three terminals of the stator windings. The resistance should be about 8 ohms.

7. Check for a short to ground in the excitation (rotor) winding. To do this, touch the probes to the generator housing and one of the terminals of the brush assembly. The ohmmeter should show infinity.

8. Check the field winding (rotor) for open circuit. To do this, install probes on both brushes. The ohmmeter should not show infinity.

We replace faulty parts.

The road version of the IZH Planet 5 motorcycle differed favorably from other domestic analogues by the use of an oil pump, which made it possible to abandon the scheme for pre-mixing fuel with oil.

In addition, subsequent modifications were distinguished by their contactless ignition system, independent of the battery, and modified kinematics.

This allowed:

To set the motorcycle in motion “from the pusher” - by turning on the ignition, the owner engaged second gear and, using his own efforts, pushing the motorcycle forward, started the engine;
Operation without a battery was possible during daylight hours (a battery was still required for the side lights and headlights to operate).

Generator

IZ Planet 5 generator design:

voltage regulator with rectifier BPV-14-10 - 1;
rotor - 2;
stator with windings - 3;
current collector brushes - 4;
ignition system cam (battery) - 5;
ignition system contact unit - 6.

The generator converts the mechanical energy of a gasoline engine into electrical energy, which charges the battery. Alternating current is generated by 3 windings and fed to a rectifier, which converts it into direct current. An additional coil is used as an exciter.

Photo gallery: IZH Planet 5 generator and its design

Battery

To supply all components, a low-power energy storage device of 12 volts is required, since IZH Planet 5 does not have a starter. The purpose of a lead-acid battery is only to supply voltage to the ignition system and the excitation winding of the generator during startup.

Ignition system

In IZH Planet 5, the ignition coil converts low-voltage voltage into high-voltage and transmits it to the spark plug. That, in turn, is responsible for the spark that detonates the fuel. To ensure that detonation occurs only in the desired piston position, there is an ignition chopper.

From the factory, this model is equipped with a classic ignition system, which requires periodic cleaning of the breaker contacts and adjusting the gap between them.

Installing a contactless SG on a motorcycle gives:

timely powerful sparking;
reduction of vibration levels;
reduction in fuel consumption.

Control devices

The following control devices are installed on the motorcycle:

tachometer, on which there are indicator lights for the headlights and turns;
speedometer showing total and daily mileage;
power engine temperature indicator;
voltmeter.

Headlight and dashboard lamps

Conventional incandescent lamps are installed as lighting equipment and to illuminate the dashboard. Switching elements are responsible for supplying electricity from the battery to the lamps.

The headlight circuit includes lamps:

headlight (35 watt);
parking light headlights (4 W);
control - blue light (2 watts);
rear brake light (15 W).

Switching elements

Switching elements are various types of switches that close or open an electrical circuit. They can be activated using keys on the dashboard (for example, turn signals) or by sensors.

In IZH Planet 5, the switching elements include:

turn switches;
signal key;
switches for low/high beam headlights;
neutral sensor;
egnition lock;
foot and hand brake sensors.

Electrical equipment of motorcycles IZH 7.107-01

The electrical diagram is given in Appendix 6. The electrical equipment of the motorcycle includes:

control device - rectifier-voltage regulator;

ignition devices - ignition coil, sensor, switch and spark plug;

lighting and signaling devices - headlight, tail light, direction indicator lights, sound signal (for a motorcycle with a side trailer, additional front marker light and rear light);

control and monitoring devices - ignition switch, warning lamps, turn signal switch, lighting mode switch, horn switch, turn signal switch, lighting mode switch, high beam alarm switch, emergency engine switch, brake light switch front and rear wheel brakes.

5.4.1. Motorcycle generator IZH 7.107-01

The generator (Fig. 30) is single-phase alternating current with excitation from permanent magnets.

The generator rotor is installed on the cone of the right semi-axis of the engine crankshaft, the stator is installed in the generator cover or on a base fixed to the engine crankcase. The stator has two separate windings: charging and power. The charging winding is connected directly to the switch and serves to power the engine ignition system; the power winding, through a rectifier-regulator, provides power to lighting devices, an alarm system and charging the battery.

Rice. 30. Generator and ignition sensor:

1 - rotor; 2 - stator; 3 - ignition sensor

The ignition system is powered by alternating current; other consumers are powered by a rectifier-voltage regulator by direct current.

The generator does not have sliding contacts or rubbing parts; its maintenance is reduced to monitoring the condition of electrical insulation, wire connections and the reliability of fastening of the rotor and stator.

The serviceability of the generator set (generator-rectifier - voltage regulator) is checked using a DC voltmeter with a scale division of 0.1 V. The voltmeter is connected to the “+” terminal of the rectifier-voltage regulator and to ground. At medium engine speeds with the battery connected and the headlights on high beam, the voltage should be 13.7...14.7 V. A deviation of the voltage from the specified values indicates a malfunction of the rectifier-voltage regulator or generator.

Remove the generator from the engine in the following order:

remove the generator cover with the stator, remove the four screws securing the stator and the screw of the bracket securing the wires to the generator cover, disconnect the stator from the generator cover;

Unscrew the rotor mounting bolt, using the screw from the device for squeezing out the chain link axis as a puller (screw it into the rotor shaft), remove the rotor.

If the stator is installed on a base fixed to the crankcase, unscrew the four screws securing the stator to the base and remove the stator with the harness.

Install the generator in reverse order.

5.4.2. Motorcycle battery IZH 7.107-01

The battery is the power source when the engine is not running. The “-” terminal of the battery is connected to the “ground” of the motorcycle. Reverse connection of the terminals is unacceptable, as it leads to failure of electronic devices, other electrical equipment components and the battery itself.

The activation, operation and maintenance of the battery are described in the attached operating instructions for the battery.

A capacitor with a capacity of 2200 microfarads is connected in parallel to the battery, designed to smooth out the ripples of the rectified voltage and ensure normal operation of the motorcycle's electrical energy consumers when the battery fails or is missing.

5.4.3. Rectifier-voltage regulator for motorcycles IZH 7.107-01

The rectifier-voltage regulator (Fig. 31) or voltage regulator is designed to rectify the alternating current of the generator, maintain the voltage of the generator within specified limits and ensure reliable operation of the entire electrical equipment system, the connection of which to the system is different (see electrical diagram in the appendix 7).

Rice. 31. Diagram of the rectifier-voltage regulator BPV 21-15

To avoid disruption of the thermal operating conditions of the rectifier-regulator, it is necessary to periodically (at least once every six months) clean it with a brush from dust and other contaminants. It is not allowed to clean with metal objects or break the factory seal during the warranty period of the motorcycle.

5.4.4. Ignition installation for motorcycles IZH 7.107-01

The initial ignition timing angle is determined by the relative position of the ignition sensor and the generator rotor and is not subject to adjustment during operation. When the engine is running, the ignition system automatically changes the ignition timing depending on the crankshaft speed.

5.4.5. Electronic switch for motorcycles IZH 7.107-01

The electronic switch is designed to accumulate the energy produced by the generator and transfer it to the ignition coil.

The switch is housed in a hermetically sealed plastic case, which prevents moisture from entering. It requires no maintenance and cannot be repaired.

5.4.6. Motorcycle ignition sensor IZH 7.107-01

The ignition sensor (Fig. 30) is designed to create a control pulse for the ignition switch. During operation it does not require maintenance and cannot be repaired.

5.4.7. Motorcycle ignition coil IZH 7.107-01

The ignition coil (Fig. 32) is designed to convert the energy accumulated in the commutator into a high-voltage pulse supplied to the spark plug. During operation, it is necessary to clean the coil from dust and other contaminants.

Cannot be repaired.

Rice. 32. Ignition coil

5.4.8. Spark plug for motorcycles IZH 7.107-01

After 2500-3500 km, check the condition of the spark plug; if carbon deposits form and become oily, rinse the spark plug in clean gasoline and dry it.

Check the gap between the spark plug electrodes with a feeler gauge. When adjusting the gap, carefully bend the side electrode. Install the spark plug into the socket with a sealing ring.

5.4.9. Spark plug tip for motorcycles IZH 7.107-01

The spark plug tip (Fig. 33) connects the spark plug to the high-voltage wire of the ignition coil and ensures that radio interference is reduced to acceptable standards. During operation, it is recommended to periodically check the reliability of the fastening of the wires in the tip and in the ignition coil, blow through the tip to remove dust between the screen and the body, and wipe the tip inside. The wire must be screwed into the lug until it stops.

Rice. 33. Candle tip:

1 - body; 2 - resistor; 3 - wire; 4 - screen

5.4.10. Motorcycle headlight IZH 7.107-01

The headlight has two lamps: a main light with two filaments (low and high beam) and a parking light. To better utilize the light quality and reduce glare, the headlight must be adjusted. Before adjustment, place the motorcycle on a horizontal platform perpendicular to the Screen at a distance of 10 m. The load on the motorcycle during adjustment is the driver. The adjustment should be made with the low beam on in accordance with the screen markings (Fig. 34), while the longitudinal vertical plane of symmetry of the motorcycle should intersect with the screen along line AB.

Rice. 34. Headlight adjustment

5.4.11. Brake light switches for motorcycles IZH 7.107-01

The brake light switches for the front and rear wheels are used to turn on the light signal when the motorcycle is braking. Adjust the moment when the signal is turned on in the event of a change in the position of the rear wheel brake lever by moving switch 1 (Fig. 35) with its fastening loosened. The brake light must come on before the wheel begins to brake.

The front wheel brake light switch is installed in the front wheel brake lever bracket and does not require adjustment.

Rice. 35. Adjusting the brake light switch:

1 — brake light switch; 2 - screw; 3 - nut; 4 - spring; 5 - traction

5.4.12. Motorcycle sound signal IZH 7.107-01

The sound signal does not require maintenance. The sound strength can be adjusted using an adjusting screw located on the body.

Switching also includes the Izh electronic turn signal relay. Its malfunction is visible by the absence of interruption or no voltage supply to the turn signals.

As can be seen from all of the above, the wiring on Izh Planet is without any special secrets or complex elements, all its parts are easily diagnosed and repairs should not cause difficulties.

Now we advise you to watch the video, which shows in detail and clearly the assembly of the Izh Planet 5 circuit.

“Planet-Sport” is the first Izhevsk motorcycle with 12-volt electrical equipment, which meets all modern (as of 1982) requirements for this system.

Maintenance

The owner can independently perform some maintenance procedures:

check the motorcycle generator if the battery loses charge;
set the gap between the breaker contacts;
adjust the quality of the sound signal.

The need to inspect and adjust the wiring arises if:

the motorcycle moves in the rain for a long time, as this causes oxidation of the contacts;
a motorcyclist rides in an area with a lot of vegetation that damages wiring;
The driver rides in snow in winter, which can stick to electrical wiring parts and damage them.

Self-check of the Planet 5 motorcycle generator in case of loss of charge

The cause of loss of charge in the IZH Planet 5 battery is most often a breakdown of the generator.

To check it yourself you need:

multimeter device;
straight screwdriver.

Step-by-step instruction

The following steps must be followed:

Disconnect the wires from the battery and remove the generator cover.
Disconnect the top 5 wires from the generator, first unscrewing their fastenings. In order not to mix up the wires during assembly, it is worth marking them.
Measure the winding resistance using a multimeter in ohmmeter mode. To do this, you need to touch the body with one probe, and the other should be connected in turn to the 3 wires of the winding. There should be no short circuits, as indicated by the inscription on the multimeter screen.
Test the resistance between the stator contacts: you need to touch them one by one with the multimeter probes. The value on the screen should be 8 ohms.

The presence of a short circuit in the 3rd stage or a discrepancy in the indicators in the 4th will indicate problems with the generator.

How to correctly set the gap between the contacts of the breaker?

In order to set the gap between the breaker contacts, you will need:

straight screwdriver;
wrench 10;
candle key;
probe 0.4 mm thick (+/– 0.05 mm).

Next, you need to follow the steps sequentially:

Place the motorcycle on a stand and place the gearbox in neutral.
Remove the right crankcase cover and unscrew the spark plug.
Using a 10mm wrench, grab the generator rotor mounting bolt and turn the crankshaft to a position where the contacts are as far apart as possible.
Loosen the screw securing the contact.
Place the probe between the contacts and adjust the tightening of the eccentric screw until the probe passes the contacts with little resistance.
Tighten the contact fixing screw.

Detailed wiring diagram for IZ Jupiter 5 - problems and their solutions

There is no need to have special stands and equipment for repairs. A minimum knowledge of electrical engineering and a simple avometer (tester) is enough; even often you can get by with just a test lamp.

We will tell you in more detail about the main electrical wiring components and possible malfunctions. The Izh Planet wiring diagram makes it easy to find a broken wire or damaged insulation (for example, a bad contact always gets hot).

But pay special attention to the fact that the electrical circuit is designed not only for 12 volts, there is also a high-voltage cable (connecting the coil and the spark plug), which cannot be checked with a regular ohmmeter.

In this case, we look to see if there is a spark at the coil output and at the output at the spark plug contact. Let's take a closer look at the main wiring components of the Izh Planet.

Differences from the second Planet

For many modern citizens, the information that domestic motorcycle manufacturers worked tirelessly to improve their models in an era of total shortages may come as a surprise.

Note! The fact takes place, moreover, it is supported by official documents, in particular 1970N04P16-17 - this is the outgoing number of the factory newsletter, which described the changes made.

In the photo - official materials of the Izhmash Design Bureau

The new generation motorcycle received:

Direction indicator lights are a first in domestic practice;
Semiconductor relay for controlling direction indicators (installed in the headlight);
New size of wheels and tires (3.50x18 versus previous - 3.25x19);
New brand increased capacity battery (old one on IZH Planet 2 - ZMT-6);
And, of course, more engine power. The power unit now developed 18 hp.

Modifications

But the creator engineers did not stop there and, having released the five-millionth car from the production line, presented a modification of the IZH Planet 3-01.

Mirror and safety arches are the distinctive features of the new modification

Among the innovations it should be noted:

Rear passenger footrests;
Roll bars;
Rearview mirror;
New steering wheel design.

For reference: The buyer paid for the changes out of his own pocket. In particular, the price for IZH Planet 3-01 was 750 rubles, the version with a stroller was 1140, and the “rural version” was even more expensive. Fortunately, care instructions were included with purchase, which made maintenance easier.

In the presented video you can watch the repair of an old motorcycle, which received a new life in capable hands. According to the author of the video, complete restoration cost him the equivalent of $130. Moreover, he did most of the work with his own hands.

Wiring Problems

Practice shows that if the motorcycle was stored in a dry garage and was not subjected to dubious alterations, then the Jupiter 5 wiring diagram lasts a very long time. From time to time you need to change some consumables, such as lamps and ignition coils, but otherwise it functions quite stably. However, this is not always the case and problems do occur, for example:

wire breaks;
electrical circuit short-circuit;
failure of their individual branches of the circuit;
weak light from incandescent lamps;
incorrect operation of indicators;
misfire;
reduction in engine power;
complete failure of the system.

The problems described above can arise both due to natural wear and tear of wiring elements, and after incompetent intervention in the circuit. There is no universal solution to the problem in this case, and in order to find out what caused the breakdown, you should be patient and have some basic knowledge of the technical part of the motorcycle. First of all, you should get a multimeter or assemble a primitive network indicator using a 12-volt light bulb to “ring” the wiring for breaks. Having found a circuit node that is not working correctly or a wiring break, it will need to be eliminated, the network’s functionality re-checked, and so on, until operation is completely restored.

Ignition system

From the factory, this model is equipped with a classic ignition system, which requires periodic cleaning of the breaker contacts and adjusting the gap between them.

Installing a contactless SG on a motorcycle gives:

timely powerful sparking;
reduction of vibration levels;
reduction in fuel consumption.

Control devices

The following control devices are installed on the motorcycle:

tachometer, on which there are indicator lights for the headlights and turns;
speedometer showing total and daily mileage;
power engine temperature indicator;
voltmeter.

Ignition system

The ignition chopper is used to ignite a spark at a certain point in the piston stroke. In early modifications of the electrical wiring of Izh Planet 5, contact was mounted, later electronic.

The main malfunctions of this unit:

Burning of breaker contacts is determined visually.
Failure of a sensor or switch elements - the easiest way to detect it is to use the method of installing a known-good unit. The lubrication system sensor valve is also checked using the same method.
An incorrectly set ignition timing is visible from the fuzzy operation of the engine. It can be eliminated by adjustment using special probes.

The ignition coil increases the voltage to several kilovolts so that the discharge can ignite a spark at the spark plug electrodes. The secondary winding is made of a fairly thin wire; most often it burns out. Although a breakdown between the turns or onto the housing is also possible. The same troubles can (but less often) happen to the primary circuit. Everything is revealed using resistance measurements.

How to improve the standard electrical system?

As we have already said, standard wiring does not cause any particular complaints due to its solidity, ability to withstand oxides and rust at the joints, without losing functionality. That is why complete replacement of wiring is a questionable procedure, but upgrading individual parts makes sense. By individual parts, we mean such functional elements as head lights, indicators, turn and stop lamps, ignition system, generator. Let's talk about each of the elements separately.

Converting the electrical circuit to work without a battery

Unlike cars that have a closed engine and electrical wiring, parts of the IZH Planet 3 motorcycle are more susceptible to external factors than others:

Rain and snow;
Direct sunlight;
Mechanical damage from bushes.

The factory instructions provide:

The need to constantly check the electrolyte level in banks, because when the motorcycle tilts, it inevitably leaks out;
The need to constantly check the electrolyte density. This forces motorcycle owners to have a hydrometer, distilled water and hydrochloric acid on hand to restore the required density with their own hands.

Installation of BSZ

Contactless ignition system - this element has become so popular that it rightfully occupies the place of the most popular improvement to the standard ignition circuit. From the factory, the IZ Jupiter 5 wiring model is equipped with a contact ignition system. It is unable to hold the ignition angle advance settings for a long time, has failures in operation and low accuracy. The disadvantages of this system can be listed for a very long time, so owners switch to electronic ignition, thereby increasing power, reducing consumption and getting a flat torque and power curve.

Maintenance

The owner can independently perform some maintenance procedures:

check the motorcycle generator if the battery loses charge;
set the gap between the breaker contacts;
adjust the quality of the sound signal.

The need to inspect and adjust the wiring arises if:

the motorcycle moves in the rain for a long time, as this causes oxidation of the contacts;
a motorcyclist rides in an area with a lot of vegetation that damages wiring;
The driver rides in snow in winter, which can stick to electrical wiring parts and damage them.
