A2-346 regulator is flat-temperature compensated.
A2-346 28 V regulator can be used with or with-
out A9-4036 temperature-voltage sense/J1939
harness from the vehicle.
• When A9-4036 temperature-voltage sense/
J1939 harness is not connected, regulator will
operate in fixed voltage setting determined
by the select switch position on the bottom of
the regulator. See column 2 in Table 2.
• When A9-4036 temperature-voltage sense/
J1939 harness is connected, regulator will
automatically optimize the charge voltage for
battery type based on temperature. See col-
umn 3 in Table 2 and select switch position
based on battery type.
Regulator is factory-set to Position 1. To change, remove regu-
lator, turn regulator over, and select appropriate switch
position (see NOTICE above and Table 2). Re-install regulator
on alternator. Torque screws to 8.5 Nm/75 lb in.

and are factory-set at lowest setting to accommodate 8D
batteries. For other batteries:
a. Remove regulator from housing and change position on
voltage selector switch. See Table 1.
b. Re-install regulator on drive end housing, and torque
mounting screws to 8.5 Nm/75 lb. in.
