Alternator Wiring may
Include the Following:
1. to Starter

3. to Start Battery
4. to House Battery
Alternator connected to a larger
battery bank is most efficient.
This diagram is for reference only.
Alternator wiring configuration does
not affect ACR installation.

* These installation diagrams show typical applications only. Your application may differ.
For further information, please go to www.bluesea.com and navigate to
Resources/Application Briefs and Technical Briefs.
* Because the SI-ACR is Dual Sensing, terminals A and B are interchangeable.
ACR function will not be affected by reversal of the starting and house batteries versus
the diagram.
* If the COMBINED indicator LED is flashing, the ACR is in a lockout state, and will
not combine batteries until the lockout condition is removed. Ensure neither battery is
below 9.5V for a 12V system or 19V for a 24V system. Also ensure positive voltage
is not present on the Start Isolation terminal.
* It is recommended that the ACR be connected directly to your battery positive terminals
through appropriately sized fuses. Connecting in a different location such as a battery
switch may affect accuracy because of voltage drop along current carrying conductors.
* If you are not knowledgeable about electrical systems, please consult an electrical
professional for help with installation.
