Install Dash Lamp
The Max Charge Dash Lamp (#17) terminal provides the ability to activate a visual or
audible indicator when the regulator monitors the following conditions: Low system
voltage, high system voltage, high alternator temperature, high battery temperature
(temperature conditions are only indicated when appropriate temperature sensors are
connected) and no voltage on stator, indicating that the alternator has failed. When
a described condition is detected, the regulator sends the Dash Lamp terminal from
neutral to ground. To utilize the Dash Lamp function:
1.
Connect a small LED or incandescent lamp, or an (piezo) alert
(maximum current
flow is 500 mA) to a positive voltage source.
2.
Connect the negative terminal on the lamp or audible alert to the Dash
Lamp
terminal on the regulator.
3.
When connected, the lamp should flash at regulator start-up to indicate
active status.
Install SmartLink™ Adapter
If you wish to connect the MC-618 to a SmartLink™ network, this is done via the SmartLink™ Adapter, part # SG2-0404 It is
included in the MC-618H kit, but not if you purchased the regulator without a harness. The two fast-on connectors shown here to
the left are connected to pin 10 and 11 on the regulator. Of the two Deutsch-style connectors on the right side, only one is used
in a single MC-618 installation. In all instances, it is connected to an existing SmartLink™ device using a SmartLink™ cable
(SG2-0400, not included) between that device and the adapter.
NOTE:
For more SmartLink™ installation instructions, see the SG200 Manual
NOTE:
A Color Display CANNOT be plugged directly into the SmartLink™ adapter cable without a SmartShunt on
the network. The SmartShunt is needed to power the Network. The display will not function without this power.
