Figure 1 – With Delco Cover INSTALLATION 1) First, be sure that you have the correct model DR110 for your vehicle (Positive or Negative Earth, 6, 12, or 24 volts, A-circuit or B-circuit correct current limit to match your dynamo). Although DR110 is protected...

5) Wire Connections: The connectors are labeled D (Dynamo Armature), F (Field Coil), and B (Battery). Attach the wires to the DR110, and mount the DR110 using the three stainless steel machine screws provided. 6) The DR110 is grounded to the chassis via the brass mounting spacers.

5) Note on Mounting: Mechanical regulators are typically mounted on rubber bushings to provide some isolation from vibration and shock, but since DR110 is immune to vibration and shock, the regulator can be rigidly mounted. DR110 Instruction Manual...
TESTING & CALIBRATION The DR110 voltage and current limits are set at the factory to match your dynamo, and normally, no adjustment is required. You may however, wish to confirm that everything is working properly, or change the settings to accommodate your needs.

We normally set the voltage at 14.3V at 25°C for 12v dynamos, and 7.2v for 6v dynamos, which is safe for all batteries. Since there are many types and models of batteries, you may wish to consult the battery specs for the optimum charging voltage. DR110 Instruction Manual Pg. 5...

Therefore, it is best to perform the test with the regulator at ambient temperature. Current Limit Test: 1) With the two B wires disconnected from the DR110, and connected together, connect a 0-50A ammeter between the B terminal of the regulator and the two B wires connected together.

In the DR110, the output voltage of the generator is compared to a precision voltage reference. When the generator output exceeds this reference, the current to the field coils is cut off.

Your generator only needs to be polarized if it is new, has been rebuilt, or you have changed ground polarity. A generator that has already been working does not need to be polarized. Also, the Clover Systems regulator does not need to be polarized, as there are no magnetic components.
