RTP9007S 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.
There is a USB Type-C port in the bottom part of the tester, through which the power is supplied to the tester during the diagnostics of voltage regulators. The USB port serves as well for connection of the tester to a computer either for software updating or for data copying (Fig.3).

(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.
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;...

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.

English tester RTP9007S Figure 22 shows the connection diagram of voltage regulator ARE6149P as an example. Figure 22. Voltage regulator ARE6149P The voltage regulator type is identified by terminal contacts and based on the information set out in Appendices 1, 2. There is only one terminal – LIN, which identifies this voltage regulator as COM type.
Connection of voltage regulator ARE6149P has a specific feature. We connect cable F1 to the only terminal – F. As the actual voltage regulator is B-circuit type, the other cable (F2) must be connected to terminal B-. Consequently, one of the brushes is permanently connected to B- of the alternator, while the excitation winding is controlled through terminal B+.
