TVS Apache RTR 200 electrical system is divided in to four basic systems (circuits) named:
IGNITION SYSTEM
The ignition system of Apache RTR 200 consists of magneto assembly, regulator cum rectifier unit (RR unit), fuse
15A, battery, ignition lock, engine kill switch, TCI unit, ignition coil and a spark plug. (Fig. 5.6)
The output from the pulsar coil of magneto assembly is directly connected to the TCI unit. The DC output from the
battery is connected to the engine kill switch through a 15 amps fuse and through the ignition lock. The output of the
engine kill switch is connected to the TCI unit, ignition coil, relay starter and the self start switch.

LIGHTING SYSTEM
The lighting system consists of magneto assembly, regulator cum rectifier unit (RR unit), battery, ignition lock, fuse
10A (head lamp), TCI unit and control switches. The working of lighting system of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V are as
follows. (Fig. 5.17)
A DC output from the battery is connected to a 10A fuse (head lamp) through the ignition lock. The output of the 10A
fuse is connected to the TCI unit. When the ignition lock is turned ‘ON’, one more DC output from the lock is
supplied to TCI unit, switch lighting, switch beam control and the pass-by switch.
When the switch lighting knob is slid to the ‘PO’ position, the output DC current from the switch is supplied to the
position lamps and the tail lamp.
5-7
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TVS APACHE RTR 200 SERVICE MANUAL
Similarly, when the switch lighting knob is slid to the ‘HL’ (head lamp ‘ON’) position, the output DC current from the
switch is supplied to the TCI unit along with the position lamps and the tail lamp. Upon receiving the input from the
switch lighting the TCI unit checks for the input from the pulsar coil to determine the engine running condition (head
lamp works only for 10 seconds when the engine is in ‘OFF’ condition) and the switch beam control to determine the
head lamp beam (‘High’ or ‘Low’).
If the beam control switch is in ‘High’ position, the TCI unit will not get any input signal from switch beam control and
supplies the power to the head lamp ‘High beam’ and the head lamp high beam glows. If the beam control switch is
in ‘Low’ position, the TCI gets an input signal from the switch and supplies power to the head lamp ‘Low beam’ and
the head lamp low beam glows.
When the pass-by switch is pressed, a DC signal is sent to the TCI unit. Now, the TCI unit checks for the input from
the switch lighting to determine the head lamp condition (‘ON’ or ‘OFF’). If the head lamp is in ‘OFF’ condition the
TCI unit supplies the power to the head lamp ‘high beam’ and makes it to glow. If the head lamp is in ‘ON’ and
glowing in ‘low beam’, the TCI unit cuts ‘OFF’ the power supply to the ‘low beam’ and supplies to the ’high beam’
(toggles). If the head lamp is glowing in ‘high beam’ the TCI unit does it in vice-versa. If the pass-by switch is pressed
when the engine is not running, the head lamp glows only with 50% illumination.
If the head lamp is turned ‘ON, when the engine is not running, the TCI unit checks for the input from switch beam
control to determine the head lamp beam (‘High’ or ‘Low’). Based on the switch beam controls position the head
lamp glows for 10 seconds with only 50% intensity. If the self start switch is pressed within this 10 seconds the
head lamp goes ‘OFF’ and gets ‘ON’ after the engine starting with 100% intensity. If the vehicle is kept in engine
idling condition for more than 20 seconds with the head lamp ‘ON’, the head lamp reduces the illumination by 50%
and gains it back to 100% once the vehicle is moved or the throttle is opened.

(main fuse) and the control switches. A DC output from the battery is directly connected to the speedometer
through a 15A fuse for the memory and other functions of speedometer. Another DC output from the battery is
connected to the ignition lock through the same 15A fuse. When the ignition lock is turned ‘ON’ the DC output from
the ignition lock is supplied to the position lamps, smart phone charger, brake lamp switches front and rear, horns,

A negative input from the common earth junction is directly connected to the position lamps. On switching ‘ON’ the
ignition lock the lamps glows directly. Similarly, the smart phone charger also gets the negative input from the
common earth junction and it will be ready for charging the smart phones.
When the brake lamp switch front or rear is operated (brake applied), the DC current from either of the switch is
supplied to the brake lamp. A negative earth connection from the common earth junction is connected to the lamp
and hence the lamp glows. Similarly, when the horn button is pressed, the negative input from the common junction
is connected to the horns. Since the horns are connected to the ignition lock’s DC output directly, on pressing the
switch the horns blows.
A DC output from the ignition lock is connected to the speedometer assembly for its operation. A input signal from
the gear position sensor is connected to the speedometer and the TCI unit for gear position sensing. A neutral
indication signal is connected to the TCI unit from the speedometer for electric start operation. The fuel level
indicator in the speedometer gets an input signal in the from of variable resistance from the fuel sender unit. Based
on these signals the fuel level indicator shows the fuel level indication.
An input voltage and a negative supply are given to the speed sensor from the speedometer. The output signal from
the speed sensor is connected to the speedometer. Based on these signals the speed indication is shown.
Speedometer shows engine rpm based on the engine speed signal received from the TCI unit.
A DC output from the ignition lock is connected to the electronic flasher unit. The output from the flasher unit is
connected to the switch turn signal. When the switch is slid to the ‘right’ or ‘left’ the respective front and rear turn
signal lamps glows along with the turn signal indicator on the speedometer .

Electric starter system consists of battery, ignition lock, engine kill switch, electric starter switch, neutral switch,
clutch switch, speedometer assembly, TCI unit, relay starter motor and the starter motor assembly. (Fig. 5.40)
A DC output from the battery is connected to the ignition lock through a 15A fuse. When the ignition lock is turned
‘ON’, this DC output is connected to the TCI unit, electric starter switch and relay starter motor through the engine
kill switch.
A DC output from the battery is directly connected to the relay starter motor and the output of the relay is connected
to the starter motor through thick wires. A negative is connected to the starter motor from the common earth
junction. When the relay energies, the battery output is supplied to the starter motor and the motor works.
Based on the resistance input from the gear position sensor, the neutral position is sensed by the speedometer and
the speedometer supplies a negative input to the TCI unit for activating the electric start circuit. A negative output
from the clutch switch is supplied to the TCI unit when the switch is operated. In the absence of neutral indication
from the speedometer, this negative input is taken by the TCI unit for activating the self start circuit.
While pressing the electric starter switch, the DC supply from the electric starter switch flows to the TCI unit. On
receipt of this DC input signal, the TCI unit checks the availability of negative input either from the speedometer or
from the clutch switch. If any one of these input is available, the TCI unit connects a negative supply to the relay
starter motor and energies the relay. Even though all the above conditions are met by the TCI unit, if the engine is in
running condition (if there is a pulsar coil input to the TCI unit), the TCI unit cuts ‘OFF’ the negative supply to the
starter relay to avoid the cranking of motor during engine running condition and protects the motor from damage.
If the electric start switch is pressed continuously either in neutral or in clutch applied condition, the TCI unit
energies the starter relay for 3 seconds and switches ‘OFF’ it automatically and energies again after 3 seconds for
battery saving.
