CHARGING CIRCUIT - ALTERNATOR WITH MONO-FUNCTION REGULATOR
ALL TYPES
CHECKING THE ALTERNATOR OUTPUT
Output under 13.5 VCurrent (A) /
Alternator speed
Connect as shown in the diagram opposite, using an ammeter (A), a
voltmeter (V) and a rheostat (R), or a Voltmeter/Ammeter/Rheostat
combination.
Adjust the engine speed (table opposite) and rheostat charge accor-
ding to the vehicle's equipment specification in order to obtain U = 13.5 V.
