Basic Programming
Programming The Belt Load Manager
The ARS-5 provides the ability to manage regulator field potential, making it possible to govern the horsepower loads
placed on the drive belt(s) by the alternator. The Belt Load Manager can also be used to protect the alternator from extraor-
dinary load created by a battery load that’s too large for the alternator’s capacity. The Belt Load Manager is accessed in
the basic programming mode, directly after the battery type programming mode. The Belt Load Manager can be accessed
at the same time the battery program is set, or by itself. To program the Belt Load Manager
When activating the programming mode, keep in mind that the regulator will scroll through the basic programming mode
three times before saving and returning to the operational mode. To adjust the regulator for your battery type:
Turn on the regulator. This may be accomplished by turning the ignition switch at the panel to the ON position. If the
1.
regulator’s BROWN ignition wire is connected to an oil pressure switch, it may be necessary to start the engine to
activate the regulator.
If the battery type program has been adjusted, TOUCH / HOLD when entry into the Belt Load Manager is indicated by
2.
the bEL display on the regulator’s LED.
If you don’t wish to adjust the battery programming, TOUCH / HOLD the RED dot when the regulator is activated.
3.
RELEASE when the Pro display is indicated. The regulator will indicate bA, for battery type, and will cycle to bEL.
TOUCH / HOLD. The regulator display will indicate b-0 (indicating that the Belt Load Manager is off). Continue to
4.
HOLD. The regulator display continue to scroll through nine settings. Each setting decreases the field potential by
approximately five percent.
RELEASE when the display indicates your desired level of field reduction. The display will cycle to bEL. You can re-
5.
activate to change your selection, or wait until the regulator cycles to the next programming mode.
The display will cycle to dSP, indicating the selection mode where the user can toggle between a short or long dis-
