RegulatoR wiRing
The Wakespeed WS100/12 is provided with
a 5-wire harness, which provides wiring
connections required for proper voltage
regulator operation. Wires include Red
(Power), Black (Ground), Blue (Field), Brown
(Ignition) and Orange (Dash Lamp). Wiring
identification and suggested mounting
locations are as follows:
ReD (PoweR) wiRe —
The WS100/12 Power Wire provides DC
current to support regulator functions
and to provide field current to control
alternator excitation (field) output – as well
as providing the regulator with sensing
voltage. The Power Wire must be fused at
10 amps. An ATC-type fuse holder and 10A
ATC fuse are included with the regulator, and
must be installed at the source of power (at the
alternator or battery end of the wiring harness).
Possible connection locations for the RED
Power Wire include:
1. The positive output post of the alternator
(recommended).
2. The positive post of the battery being
charged.
3. If a diode-type battery isolator is
used, the RED power wire must be
installed on the output side of the
isolator, on the post connected to
the larger battery bank.
