Delcotron Type CS Charging System

DESCRIPTION
The CS generator uses a new type of regulator which has a built in fault detection. The CS generator does not have a diode trio or test hole.

OPERATION
This generator uses only two connections, battery positive and an "L" terminal to the charge indicator bulb. Use of "P", "F" and "S" terminals is optional. The "P" terminal is connected to the stator and may be connected to a tachometer or other device. The "F" terminal is connected internally to field positive and is used in service diagnostics. The "S" terminal may be connected externally to a voltage source, such as battery voltage.
