INDIVIDUAL TEST (Alternator Test)
If the BCT-460NAV
determines that more loads
are needed to fully test the
alternator, it will ask the
user to turn on the loads
such as the headlights
and fans. If the loads are
OK the the unit skips this
screen and proceeds to the
governor speed portion of
the test.
The BCT-460NAV
will instruct the user
to hold the engine
RPM at 1000 and
wait for the voltage
to stabilize. The
user then can press
the button when the
voltage is stable
The BCT-460NAV will instruct
the user to rev the engine to
governor speed and hold it there.
While the engine is at
governor speed the unit
will look for low and high
regulation and measure
the output current and the
ripple.
When the test is
complete the BCT-
460NAV will instruct
the user to return to
idle. If loads were
requested to turn
on, this screen will
remind the user to
turn them off.
