8. Locate the “BAT” terminal at the rear of the alternator. Disconnect ALL the wires (including the voltage regulator sensing wire if present) from the BAT terminal of the alternator. Reconnect these same wires to the #1 terminal of the Isolator. Lengthen the wires if necessary. NOTE: Disconnecting or cutting these wires in a location other than at the alternator may result in improper functioning of the charging system. (See Figure B.)

ELECTRICAL TEST PROCEDURES 1. NOTE: Connect the negative test lead to the negative (–) terminal on the battery. Testing With The Engine Not Running: The #1 terminal of the Isolator should read vehicle battery voltage. The #2 terminal should read auxiliary battery voltage. The “A” terminal may read from zero to 13 volts. Testing With The Engine Running And Alternator Charging: The #1 and #2 should read regulator setting or less, typically from 13.8 to 14.5 volts. The “A” terminal voltage shoul
