Single-foot and Vortec mount versions Case Ground:

1.  Positive Output Terminal

 - Must be connected via properly-sized cable to 

the battery or batteries being charged. Cable size is determined by alterna

-

tor output and length of cable run. See Page 3 for wiring size chart.

2.  Stator Output Wire (WHITE)

 - Provides an unrectified source of AC voltage 

which can be used as a signal for an electric tachometer.

3. External Field Wire (BLUE)

 - Connects to external voltage regulator via 

wiring harness.

4. Internal Regulator Excite Wire (BROWN)

  -  Provides  switched  source 

of voltage to the alternator’s internal regulator. Only connected when the 

internal regulator is being used. 

5.

 

Internal Regulator Voltage Sense Wire (RED)

 - Provides sensing voltage 

when the internal regulator is used.

6. Temp Sensor 

- Install the ring terminal end of the (Optional) MC-TS-A here. 

Do not bend the heat shrink or ring terminal.

 

CAUTION: Positive Output cable must be properly supported to ensure 

that terminal posts are protected from excessive weight and torque. Failure 

to provide adequate strain relief could result in damage to the

Dual foot (3.15”) mount Isolated Ground:

1. Positive Output Terminal

 - Must be connected via properly-sized cable 

to  the  battery  or  batteries  being  charged.  Cable  size  is  determined  by 

alternator output and length of cable run. See Page 3 for wiring size chart.

2.  Stator Output Wire (WHITE)

 - Provides an unrectified source of AC voltage

  -  Provides  switched  source 

of voltage to the alternator’s internal regulator. Only connected when the 

internal regulator is being used.

Internal Regulator Voltage Sense Wire (RED)

 - Provides sensing voltage 

when the internal regulator is used

6. Dash Lamp Wire (BLUE)

 - Included in the Yanmar-type T-plug. Typically 

not used.

7. 

Negative Terminal (Ground)

 - Must be connected to system ground via 

properly  sized  cable.  Cable  size  is  determined  by  alternator  output  and 

length of cable run. See Page 3 for wiring size chart. Ensure that the ground 

cable is adequately supported to supply strain relief

. The wire exiting the 

alternator and attached to this terminal MUST remain in place for the alter-

nator to function.

8. Temp Sensor 

- Install the ring terminal end of the (Optional) MC-TS-A here. 

Do not bend the heat shrink or ring terminal.

CAUTION: Positive Output and Negative (Ground) cable must be properly 

supported to ensure that terminal posts are protected from excessive 

weight and torque. Failure to provide adequate strain relief could result in
