Gary,

I have been using this switch and have no problems with it.  I bought a
couple to have on hand should one fail in the future.  I only have 17
hours on my plane, but it has worked great during that time.  When I
pull the throttle back to idle before shutting down, I get the alarm.

Hi folks,
I bought one of these nice regulators, 14v, back in 1999 for my Stag-Ez.
Started flying last year, logged 50 hrs. No problems till last week, when I
had the
bad idea, while flying, to switch off the alternator field, to make sure the
origin of the (slight) whining I heard on my headsts was caused by
alternator (35 Ah
Van's rebuilt unit).
Yes, the whining was caused by the alternator, but since the first time
I reset the field, the following problem appeared: field's breaker popping
out from time to time at the beginning, then more and more often.
I was watching the voltage reading on my JPI: never exceeded 4.3 V.
Collateral problem: for about ten seconds after breaker's resetting the oil
temp reading was jumping full scale and then came back down slowly.
Could it be I managed to damage the regulator? Or the alternator? Why then?
Thank you for any clue you can pass to help me diagnose and solve my
problem.
