Centerfielder II
CFII-12/24
Introduction
Designed for use in application requiring balanced charge control from
two alternators and two regulators on twin engines, the Centerfielder
II: CFII-12/24 makes it possible to utilize the combined output of both
alternators to supply optimized charging to a single large battery bank.
By monitoring the ignition and field voltages at port and starboard
regulators, the CFII-12/24 determines when both engines are running,
and directs field current from the master (starboard) regulator to both
alternators. By controlling both alternators with the same field source,
the CFII-12/24 ensures that alternators can work together to ensure
optimal charging at a single large battery bank.

Safety Considerations
1.
Always disconnect your battery banks and
ensure that switches are "OFF" prior to
installing your regulator.
2.
Remove loose-fitting clothing or jewelry,
which could become entangled in your
motor or other machinery prior to installing
regulator.
3.
Wear ANSI-approved safety eye-wear and
protective gear.
4.
DO NOT attempt to modify the regulator.
Modifications could result in damage to
your charging system, and will void your
warranty.

Ensure that the engine has cooled before
initiating installation.
7.
DO NOT attempt regulator installation while
using alcohol or medication that could
impair your judgment or reaction time.
8.
Always use the right tool for the job.
Improper tool use may damage regulator
or your vessel, and could result in personal
injury.
9.
Take time to read the manual. Equipment
damage and possible injuries may result
from an incomplete understanding of the
installation and operation of the MC-612-
DUAL regulator. If you are unfamiliar with
marine electrical systems, consult with a
licensed marine electrician.
