| Subject: | Alternator and regulator connections |
Happy Holidays everyone!
Time for me to emerge from my lurking mode to enlist some help.
I have a Kelly Aerospace ALY 8520 alternator, with two field connections.
The regulator is an Echlin unit, 5 MSA 6, a locally built automotive unit
with 5 wires:
warn lite
ign
reg sense --not sure what this is for
neg
field.
Now despite trawling the web, and being electrically challenged, I am
unable to figure out how to connect this setup.
Regards the warn lite...would there be 12v emanating from the regulator so
that a lite with one terminal grounded would then light up?
I would really appreciate some help or suggestions!

I am pleased to report that the Emag ignition
system sold to our own Jared Yates was the
successful bidder at $712. A PayPal voucher for
that amount has been forwarded to Matt.
Thanks to all those who participated . . .

Here are some educated guesses:
Reg Sense: Connect to main power bus through a fuse. Do not connect to IGN terminal.
Warn Lite: Use the trial and error method. The lamp will limit the current so
hopefully no harm will be done if polarity is wrong. I suggest first connecting
the lamp to the main power bus through a fuse. It should light up when the
engine is not running. If not, then try connecting the lamp to ground.

Joe has it nailed . . .
With respect to TWO field terminals on
alternator. Ground ONE and run the other to
the F terminal on regulator. These terminals
are not polarity sensitive.
