Install Battery #1 Temperature Sensor

The optional Battery Temperature Sensor (MC-TS-B) allows your Max Charge MC-614 voltage regulator to monitor your battery 

bank for changes in battery temperature, adjust charging voltages to compensate for battery temperature, and respond to a 

battery over-temperature condition by discontinuing charging. The MC-TS-B sensor includes a 20’ cable, a sensing attachment, 

lug and positive and negative regulator plug-in connectors. To install the MC-TS-B:

1. 

Connect the sensor lug to the battery negative post closest to the center of the battery bank. Extend sensor cable to the 

regulator.

2. 

Connect the temperature sensor to the Bat. #1 Temp. terminals on the regulator. It is essential that the terminals are 
connected to the correct pin. Connect the RED wire to the positive terminal (#8) and the BLACK wire to the negative 
terminal (#7).

Install WHITE Stator-In And Tach-Out Wires

When an electric tachometer is used, the alternator’s stator output will provide the electrical pulse needed to drive the 

tachometer. The MC-614 has been designed to provide regulated tach output when the WHITE stator wire is connected to the 

regulator’s Stator In (#12) terminal and the out feed wire to the electric tachometer is connected to the Tach Out terminal (#13) 

terminal. *Not required for magnetic pick-up Tachs.
Stator output can also be used to detect alternator failure. See Page 10 for details.

When the tachometer is connected via the MC-614, the regulator will ensure that the tachometer will not discontinue supplying 

field current when the batteries are fully charged. When connecting the tachometer to the alternator stator output, it will be 

necessary to determine the number of poles in the alternator in order to properly adjust 

your tachometer. Most Balmar alternators feature 12-pole rotors and stators, though, in 

some cases, the pole count may be 14. See alternator manual for specifics. See your 

tachometer manual for adjustment instructions.

Install Battery #2 Temperature Sensor

Your Max Charge MC-614 voltage regulator can accommodate a secondary battery 

temperature sensor. Used in conjunction with an optional MC-TS- B battery temperature 

sensor, the regulator can monitor temperature at a secondary battery bank and respond 

to a battery over-temperature condition by discontinuing charging.

To install a secondary battery temperature sensor:

1. 

Connect the temperature sensor to the secondary battery bank following the directions provided for the primary battery 

temperature sensor.

2. 

Connect the temperature sensor to the Bat. #2 Temp. terminals on the regulator. It is essential that the terminals are 

connected to the correct pin. Connect the RED wire to the positive terminal (#15) and the BLACK wire to the negative 

terminal (#14).

Data TX and Data RX

Data TX and RX circuits provide a connection point with outside monitoring equipment. At this time, the Data TX and RX circuits 

are only for factory use.

Install Aux. 1 Lamp

The Max Charge MC-614 regulator’s Aux. #1 (#16) terminal provides the ability to use a visual indicator when the regulator is 

operating under the following conditions: Full field (the alternator is working at full power) and Small Engine Mode (the regulator 

is being controlled at 50% field output). When a described condition is detected, the regulator sends the Aux. #1 terminal from 

CAUTION: Reversing the polarity of the terminal connections on any of the alternator or battery 

temperature sensors can result in invalid sensing and potential damage to alternators, regulator 

and/or batteries.
