Retrying to a single list each time; first attempt at multiple lists
seems to have failed.

Just saw a post on the VAF forum that Matt had a stroke yesterday. The
post quoted his facebook page:
/Matt Update: He is responding to comments being made by squeezing
Katie's hand and he was able to answer his age by using his one hand.
All early indicators are that he is doing ok.
Katie sends her thanks for the prayers and that they are definitely helping.
/
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, and remember that he won't
be able to deal with list maintenance issues for some time.
I'm trying to send this to the RV, aeroelectric, and kolb lists. If
you're a member of additional lists, it might be good to pass it on.
Charlie

Guys thanks for all the replies!
So I connected everything as postulated by Joe and Bob, and I am seeing
14.2 volts on the Bus, which I believe to be correct.
The only thing is that the warn lite connection shows +12v when the master
is turned on, and it does not extinguish when the voltage stabilizes and
the amp meter is showing a good charge.
Any more ideas?
Happy New Year, one and all!

As a general rule, alternator failure lights
built into regulators are of limited value
and should never take the place of ACTIVE
NOTIFICATION of low bus voltage. I presume
you have this function in place with
other hardware. I never hook up the built-in
lights.

Bob thanks,
I have the EFIS alarm so will ignore the warning lite connection.
