  • Page 18: Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions Can the device be damaged due to improper connection? The device is resistant to connection errors from typical applications and voltage ranges. Can the device damage connected units? The device cannot directly damage any connected units, however the range of voltage sent to the alternator is very broad and includes prohibited values (over 15V), which can result in electrical system errors if the alternator is tested without removing it from the vehicle.
  • Page 19 Frequently Asked Questions Why does an alternator with a COM interface start working only after I change the required voltage for the first time? This is due to the alternator voltage regulator function. This type of behaviour is standard and confirms the alternator is working properly.
