DESCRIPTION

The

regulator
consists

essentially
of

in

egrated
circuits

incorporating
tran

sistors

These
transistors
int

errupt
and

admit

current
flow

to
the
alternator

rotor

coil
thus

maintaining
its

output

voltage
at
a
constant
value
Unlike
in
a

mechanical

type
regulator
an
electron

ic

relay
employing
transistors
is
uti

lized
These
transistors

are
enclosed
in

a

brush

assembly
inside

alternator

Should

any

problem
with
the

relay

arise
it

should
be

replaced
together

with
the

brush

assembly
In
the

charge

warning
lamp
circuit
a
diode
is
at

tached
to
the
stator
coil
to

monitor

generating
voltage
at
the
stator

so
that

when
the

monitored

voltage
and

charging
voltage
are

equal
during
re

charging
the

charge

warning
lamp
is

turned
off

Accordingly
a

proceed

as
follows

Remove
IC

regulator
and

brushes
as

an

assembly
as
outlined
in
