CHARGING CIRCUIT - ALTERNATOR WITH MONO-FUNCTION REGULATOR.
Checking the alternator output
Output under 13.5 V
Intensity (A) / Alternator speed
Connect as shown in the diagram opposite, using an ammeter (A), a volt-
meter (V), and a rheostat (R) or a Volt/Ammeter/Rheostat combination.
Referring to the vehicle’s equipment specification (see table opposite),
adjust the engine speed and rheostat charge to obtain U=13.5V.
