OVERVIEW
The voltage rectifier / regulator is responsible for
converting AC voltage to DC voltage and controls the DC
output.
NOTICE
If the temperature of the regulator / rectifier exceeds
194°F (90°C), the unit will turn itself off to cool down.
The unit will turn on at approximately 167°F (75°C). If
voltage output is equal to or less than static battery
voltage, verify the housing cooling fins are clean, free
from debris and that adequate airflow is present.
