Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2008 7:05 am Post subject: generic regulator pin out

I am using one LR-3 Regulator and one generic regulator for my z14 duel

alt/duel bat rotary install in my Velocity.  When some cash falls out of the

air I will likely get a second LR-3.  However, 'til then I need some help on

how to connect the generic unit I have.  I assume the field lead connects to

the "F" prong on the generic unit, however, where do the other wires go?  My

unit is marked "F", 1, 2, 3, 4 with an additional prong on the bottom of the

unit.  I assume the bottom prong is a ground (please correct me if I am

wrong).   How do I determine which prongs connect to which prong on the

regulator?  Are these prongs and numbers a understood standard? If not, is

there a way to determining what is what?  No docs were included with the

regulator. I regret if I missed this in Bobs book and/or webpage. TIA.



All the best,



Chris

   There are no industry standards for identifying

   functionality of the pin out for various products

   on the market.  This is one reason why I've

   stuck pretty much to the generic "ford" regulators

   that I wrote about in Z-11, note 21 and illustrated

   in figures Z-11, Z-13/8, Z-19 and these photos:

   It's not that any of these products are "better" than

   other offerings. But if you have a regulator that looks

   like this, I can tell you with some confidence how to

   hook it up. You can buy these regulators for $4 to $20

   from a lot of sources.
