FOUR CHANNEL COIL DRIVER 
30-2840 
 
 
 
The AEM model 30-2840 Four Channel Coil Driver is custom manufactured to AEM’s specifications by HÜCO 
Electronic GmbH in their ISO 9001 facility in Germany. It has been specially designed by AEM for driving the high 
power dwell controlled ignition coils commonly found on performance engines. 
 
 
The 30-2840 Kit contains: 
Four Channel Coil Driver  
Five Pin Mating Connector 
Four Pin Mating Connector 
10 Terminals & Wire seals (one extra of each as a precaution) 
Mounting hardware 
Thermal Grease 
 
 
Mounting 
It is critical that this driver module be mounted to a flat metallic surface and that the supplied thermal grease applied 
between the module and its mounting surface. This is required to allow the heat generated to be conducted away. 
Failure to mount the driver in this manner will cause a premature failure and will void the warranty.  
 
 
Trigger Setup 
Pay special attention when connecting this unit as improper wiring or incorrect ECU configuration can destroy the 
module, your coils or your ECU. If you are not 100% sure of your configuration do not power up the system until you 
are. This module takes a 5V logic level trigger signal (falling edge trigger) which is configured to fire the coil on its 
falling edge and converts it to a switched ground where the ignition coil is grounded when the input signal is high and 
the ignition coil is fired (disconnected) when the input signal falls from 5V to ground.
