Still struggling with my setup…:CRY:
Can anyone tell me the difference between a D4TZ10316A and a C5AF-10316-A Regulator? I got told I need to change my Regulator to a D4TZ10316A to match the Alternator which is a Thunderbird C3SF-10300-A Version…..:eek: But at the end they are all doing the same (Field Relay; Voltage Limiter)?? The point I’m struggling at the moment is the following: Is it correct that the Alternator provides 12V on the Neutral Terminal as soon the Output Terminal gets 12V+ connected?:confused: |
Alf,
The D4TZ regulator is an electronic version, the C3SF is mechanical. Generally you can substitute an electronic unit for a mechanical. You can remove the cover of the electronic and replace with the mechanical to gain a closer to original appearance. There are several reproduction regulators that have the tall cover with the "IASF" stamped into them that have electronic guts. |
Hi Mark IV
My main question is DO I NEED TO REPLACE the mechanical C5AF-10316-A Regulator with an electronic D4TZ10316A Regulator to work with my Thunderbird C3SF-10300-A Alternator.... I would say NO and the guy told me rubbish. As I was hoping to get an answer on my "Neutral Terminal" question (as on post 82) and I got only the information that my wiring and the regulator are incorrect. |

Thanks :) |
After looking some great videos from MOSS on Youtube and googling I think (hope) I fund the issue!:rolleyes:
I need to adjust the field relay on the regulator to stop closing the contact immediately after the battery is connected to the alternator. It needs only to close after the alternator is running and producing power! I found a value of > 6V measured on the S contact of the regulator. (But I hope someone can confirm this Volt value) |
ALF,
You should pick up one of these manuals, great information and wiring diagrams..... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F382760249638 |
Hi John
Many thanks for the recommendation. I'm in contact with the seller to get the shipment to Europe enabled.;) |
The manual is on the way!
Now I need to wait some weeks and after that I'll know the Volt value the Field Relay has to be set. :) |
