Compatibility check
This voltage regulator is designed for use with externally regulated alternators with a nominal voltage range of 12-48 volts, with a full operating range of 8-60 volts.
Verification steps
To ensure compatibility, check your alternator's manual or manufacturer specifications for:
-
Nominal voltage: Verify if your alternator's nominal voltage falls within the range of 12-48 volts.
-
External voltage regulator compatibility: Make sure your alternator is designed or modified to work with an external voltage regulator.
-
ECU control: This voltage regulator is designed for use with alternators that are not controlled by the engine's ECU (Electronic Control Unit). In most boats, main alternators are not ECU-controlled. However, RV main alternators are often ECU-controlled, so the Altion is used with secondary alternators in these applications.
If you are unsure about your alternator's compatibility, consult a qualified mechanic or the alternator manufacturer.
