Basic Programming

Programming The Belt Load Manager

The MC-612-DUAL 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

extraordinary load created by a battery load that’s too large for the alternator’s capacity. The Belt Load Manager is ac-

cessed 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:
1. Turn on the regulator. This may be accomplished by turning the ignition switch at the panel to the ON position. If the

regulator’s BROWN ignition wire is connected to an oil pressure switch, it may be necessary to start the engine to

activate the regulator.

2. If the battery type program has been adjusted, TOUCH / HOLD when entry into the Belt Load Manager is indicated by

the bEL display on the regulator’s LED.

3. If you don’t wish to adjust the battery programming, TOUCH / HOLD the RED dot when the regulator is activated.

RELEASE when the Pro display is indicated. The regulator will indicate bA, for battery type, and will cycle to bEL.

4. TOUCH / HOLD. The regulator display will indicate b-0 (indicating that the Belt Load Manager is off). Continue to

HOLD. The regulator display continue to scroll through seven settings. Each setting decreases the field potential by

approximately seven percent.

5. RELEASE when the display indicates your desired level of field reduction. The display will cycle to bEL. You can re-

activate to change your selection, or wait until the regulator cycles to the next programming mode.

6. The display will cycle to Ab2, indicating the selection mode where the user can toggle between a secondary alternator

temperature sensor or a secondary battery temperature sensor on terminals #16 and #17.

Programming For Secondary Alternator OR Regulator Temperature Sensor

The regulator allows the user to select between the use or a second battery temperature sensor, or a second alternator

temperature sensor, depending on the application and preference. To adjust the regulator for secondary sensor type:
1.  TOUCH / HOLD when entry into the temperature sensor selector is indicated by the Ab2 display on the LED.
2.  The regulator display will indicate codes AL2 (for alt. temp. sensor #2) or b2 (for bat. temp. sensor #2).
3.  RELEASE when the display indicates your desired temperature sensor type. The display will cycle to Ab2. You can

re-activate to change your selection, or wait until the regulator cycles to the next programming mode.

4. The display will cycle to dSP, indicating the selection mode for short (Sd) or long (Ld) regulator displays.

Programming For Short Or Long Display Mode

You can choose the amount of information displayed on the regulator. The information displayed on the short or long dis-

play is detailed on Page 8 of the manual. To adjust the regulator for short or long display:
1.  TOUCH / HOLD when entry into the short/long display selector is indicated by dSP on the regulator’s LED.
2.  The regulator display will indicate codes Sd (for short display) or Ld (for long display).
3.  RELEASE when the display indicates your desired display mode. The display will cycle to dSP. You can re-activate to

change your selection, or wait until the regulator cycles to the next programming mode.
