INTRODUCTION
The actual instruction describes the technique of voltage regulator diagnostics (hereinafter
“the voltage regulator”) with tester RTP9007S (hereinafter “the tester”) to detect faults in
alternator and voltage regulator performance.

WARNING! The actual instruction does not provide a description of all the diagnostic
aspects. If you lack knowledge or experience, we recommend you to take training at the
equipment manufacturing facility.

WARNING! Company MSG Equipment shall not be held liable for any damage to the tester
resulted from its improper use.

The tester performs the following operations:

1. Performance evaluation of automotive alternators with electromagnetic excitation and
nominal voltage of 12/24V. An alternator can be tested either directly in a car or on the test
bench that provides its drive.
2. Performance evaluation of voltage regulators with electromagnetic excitation and nominal
voltage of 12/24V separately from alternators. The diagnostics of alternators and voltage
regulators is carried out on the following parameters:
- Setting accuracy of stabilizing voltage;
- Assessment of control lamp performance;
- FR (load on alternator).
For COM regulators (additionally):
- ID;
- Protocol;
- Data exchange rate;
- Type of LIN protocol;
- Self-diagnostics errors.

3 INTENDED USAGE
1. Use the tester as intended (see Section 1 of User Manual).
2. The tester is designed for indoor use. Be aware of the following operating constraints:
2.1. Observe the environmental conditions for the equipment operation specified in Section 2
of User Manual. Do not use the device when the air temperature is negative or the humidity is
high (over 75%). Do not turn on the tester immediately after moving it from a cold room (or
from outdoors) into a warm one as its components may be covered with a condensate. Keep
it off at room temperature for at least 30 min.
2.2. Avoid leaving the device in direct sunlight.
2.3. Keep away from heating devices, microwaves, and other temperature-raising equipment.
2.4. Avoid dropping the tester or spilling technical liquids on it.
2.5. Any interference with the electric diagram of the device is strictly prohibited.
2.6. Make sure the crocodile clips are completely insulated before connecting them to the
alternator/voltage regulator terminals.
2.7. Avoid the crocodile clips short circuit between themselves or to any conductive parts of a
vehicle, including its body.
2.8. Do not put the tester on the vehicle battery or other elements of the underhood space.

 English

Operation manual

2.9. Do not use the device with a faulty power unit.

2.10. Turn off the tester when it is not in operation.
In case of failure, contact the technical support service or sales representative.

3.1 Safety regulations

The operation of the tester requires technical proficiency of the operator, he must be authorized
to operate certain types of test benches (devices) and receive safety training.

4 VOLTAGE REGULATOR TESTING

Generally, most voltage regulators are tested as follows:
1) Connection of a voltage regulator to the tester;
2) Selection of the type and nominal voltage of the tested voltage regulator;
3) Assessment of the control lamp operability: when speed is about 0 rpm, the battery indicator
must light up (red). As the speed increases up to 800-1200 rpm, the indicator must go out.
4) Assessment of the „S” terminal operability;
5) Assessment of the voltage regulator capability to adjust to the preset stabilizing voltage. Use
a cursor (Fig.10, n.1) to set the voltage.

WARNING! The test mode (Fig.6) should correspond to the type of the tested voltage
regulator.
Connect both cable MS-33502 and a power unit equipped with «Quick Charge 2.0» to the tester
through USB Type-C port to launch the diagnostic procedure.

WARNING! If the connected power unit doesn’t feature «Quick Charge 2.0», the tester can
test 12V voltage regulators only.

WARNING! Operation of some TM Bosch voltage regulators requires a heavy current, the
tester cannot deliver. Voltage regulators of this type cannot be tested.

4.1 Voltage regulator connection

Assessment of the voltage regulator operability requires a proper connection of the diagnostic
cable to the voltage regulator.
Use the voltage regulator OEM number to search the terminal markings against the database
(Fig.16).

15
English

tester RTP9007S

Figure 16 - Voltage regulator search against the database and search results
Connect the diagnostic cable to the voltage regulator as shown on the diagram.

WARNING! To avoid damage (failure) to the voltage regulator, extra care should be taken
when connecting the cable clips to the contacts in the terminals. Use either a well-insulated clip
(Fig.17) or a proper adapter cable (Fig.5).

Figure 17 - Connection of cable clips to the contacts in the terminals

When the connection is made, press «OK» - the tester will automatically switch over to the test
mode appropriate for the tested voltage regulator. Then, proceed to the voltage regulator
testing (the process is described below).

 English

Operation manual

If the information on the markings of the voltage regulator terminals cannot be found in the
database, research online. Appendix 3 is yet another source of information. There you can find
connection diagrams of the most common voltage regulator types. Use the diagram with
terminal markings found online and the examples below to connect the diagnostic cable.
Figure 18 shows a diagram (an example) for connection of voltage regulator ARE1054.

Figure 18 - Voltage regulator ARE1054

Identify the type of the voltage regulator by the terminal contacts shown in Fig.18 and use
information set out in Appendices 1, 2 of the actual Instruction. Shown here are terminals DFM
and L(RVC) (can also be marked as L(PWM)). By terminal L (RVC) we identify this voltage regulator
as RVC type.

Then, using Appendix 1, we determine which clips (connectors) of the diagnostic cable must be
connected to the voltage regulator. A diagram of voltage regulator ARE1054 connection to the
tester is shown both in Table 2 and Figure 19.

Connection of voltage regulator ARE6076 has a specific feature. There is only one terminal shown
in Figure 20 – terminal F, to which we connect cable F1. The other green cable (F2) must be
connected to terminal B+, since one of the brushes is permanently connected to B+ while the
excitation winding is controlled through the brush connected to the alternator negative terminal
(A-circuit type).
