## Overview

The GTC TA500 Smartach + COP Multisystem Ignition Analyzer is a professional-grade diagnostic tool designed for quick, accurate measurement of spark plug voltage (up to 50,000V), spark burn time (up to 10 ms), and engine RPM (200-20,000) across multiple ignition systems. Featuring advanced microcontroller technology with 0.5% accuracy and a clear 4.5-digit LCD display, it requires no ground wire connections or special adapters, making it an essential, rugged companion for automotive professionals and serious DIYers alike.

## Description

This analyzer measures RPM, spark burn and spark volt in coil-on plug, distributor, magneto and distributor-less or waste spark ignition systems. It is simple to use, requires no special adapters, cables or scope to diagnose problems on all types of ignition systems.

Review: This is a good diagnostic tool, which is easy and quick to use. Even though I have a Picoscope, Vantage Pro, etc, it's nice to be able to quickly check burn time, etc on COP sytems. HOWEVER, GTC has recently introduced a new tool at the same price point that, in my opinion, blows this one away. It's the GTC505 (also available on desertcart), and it has a color display that shows the secondary pattern, as well as other views of the data that make diagnosing even easier. The manufacturer has a good YT video of the unit's functionality on their YT channel (General Technologies Corp.) I recommend watching "GTC505 Demonstration," and you may find a couple more vids about it that are interesting. The only thing I like better about this unit is that the red cover and case seem like they might be more robust if the unit is accidentally dropped to a hard floor. Other than that, I like the well thought out graphical display much better on the new GTC505. If you do much ignition diagnostic work, I think you'll love this unit. Even an active "weekend" DIY might find this device well worthwhile. When I consider all the $$ that I have spent over the last 40 years on ignition scopes and engine analyzers, I am BLOWN AWAY by the capabilities of the GTC505. Note: I paid full price for my TA500 and GTC505, and have never had any contact with GTC. I just think (based on vast professional experience) that these products really rock -- especially at this price. (ASE Master, L1, SAE, etc) Enjoy!
Review: Excelebte producto, justamente lo que estaba buscando para el diagnótico.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you also read the primary ignition system ?**
A: I have not tried but I'm sure you could.  After all it is a coil.  It just isn't c.o.p. it also does the ignition wire's.

**Q: does it have manual in português?**
A: Dear friendYou dont have an portuguesse manual, but you can find an spanish video in youtube, its very simple to operate.best regards

**Q: Will it work on a 06 F150 5.4? ie. will it fit into the tight areas to pick up a signal from the COPs?**
A: Answer here...I am not very familiar with this engine. A 5.4 sounds more like an 8 cylinder motor. The pick up probe is flexible and yet is rigid. It worked well with my Jeep v6 3.7. I don't use it much, but it works well. larry

**Q: does it have manual in português?**
A: No it does not,  English only.
