Alternator Temperature Sensor (MC-TS-A)
With the Alternator Temperature Sensor installed, the Max Charge and ARS -4 voltage regulators can monitor the alternator and respond if ambient temperature conditions are detected. Once an over-temperature condition is detected, the regulator will reduce alternator field current to 50%. This will reduce the amperage output and horsepower load on the engine and belts , thus , giving the alternator an opportunity to cool to normal operating temperatures.
At the same time, the regulator will send the Dash Lamp terminal to ground, allowing the operator to identify a potential system problem if a dash warning light or audible alarm are used in conjunction with the Dash Lamp circuit.
