Страница 3: ...500X provides a very compact automatic flashing or battery flashing source to any Power Tronics voltage regulating system quickly easily and safely When the generator is first energized the voltage regulator typically begins it s buildup mode where it brings the generator up to a given point before it goes into it s regulation mode Sometimes however the generator may have extremely low residual AC...

Страница 4: ... To determine the proper connection for your generator you need to know the residual AC voltage of your generator and which type of generator you have To determine the residual AC voltage of your generator run engine with the voltage regulator turned off and measure the voltage produced at the AC input terminals of the voltage regulator then refer to the selection chart below When you have determi...
