Remove the by-pass on the back side of the brush holder between ground and D–
Verbinding aan de achterzijde van de borstelhouder tussen massa en D– verwijderen
By-Pass an der Rückseite des Bürstenhalters zwischen Masse und D– entfernen
Retirer le conduit à l'arrière du support porte-balais entre la terre et la borne D–

Figure A-11: This drawing shows the installation of the Alpha alternator 12/90 in combination with a battery
isolator to charge two battery banks simultaneously
Figure A-12: Here the installation of the Alpha alternator 12/90 in combination with a Mastervolt DC distribution
system is shown. The Mastervolt DC distribution systems are easy-to-install installation kits for central connection
of the DC-sources (such as the alternator and the battery charger), the batteries and the DC loads (such as the
inverter, the anchor winch or the bowthruster). These DC-distribution systems are standard pre-wired for
connection of a battery monitor. See www.mastervolt.com for details.
