Procedure C - Isolate Regulator
Disconnect leads from regulator terminals F1 and F2. Connect a 12 volt automotive type battery
across exciter leads F1 (+) and F2 (-). Operate generator at half of the rated speed. Then slowly
increase rpm.
* If voltage at regulator terminals 20 and 22 is 0 to 15 volts (AC), shutdown the generator and:
a. Check exciter stator L1 continuity.
b. Check rotating rectifiers CR1-6 (rotating rectifier block).
c. Check surge suppression diodes CR7-8 (varistors).
d. Check main rotor L3 continuity.
e. Check exciter rotor L2 continuity.
f. Check continuity of main stator L4 sensing wires 20, 22 and 24.

NOTE: For more information, see SR4 Generator Service Manual, Form No. SENR3985.
* If balanced AC voltage between regulator terminals 20-22-24 and not balanced between terminals
26-28-30 that increases with rpm:
Stop the engine. Disconnect wires 12 and 13 that go to the PM exciter. Check the PM exciter wires
for a balanced resistance between 12-13, 11-12 and 11-13. Each resistance measured must be in
the range of .2 to .75 ohms. The three resistance measurements must also be within ± 10% of each
other.
* If balanced AC voltage between regulator terminals 20-22-24 and between terminals 26-28-30 that
increases with rpm:
Go to Procedure D.
Procedure D - Isolate Attachments
Reconnect leads to regulator terminals F1 and F2. Disconnect all attachments such as manual
voltage control, remote voltage control, droop transformer, etc.
NOTE: If remote mounted voltage adjustment is disconnected, connect jumper across terminals 4
and 7.
Check all connections to regulator and the regulator fuses.
* If generator output voltage is normal:
Check attachments.
* If voltage at regulator terminals 20 and 22 is 0 to 15 volts:
a. Replace regulator.
b. Bench test the regulator; see Bench Test.
