TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS (See illustrations): 
 
“POS” Terminal - Output terminal connects to the 
positive (+) battery terminal. 
 
 
“R” Terminal - Relay terminal carries half systems voltage and
may be used for certain types of control relays, charge indicators, 
tachometers or similar devices. The current draw should not 
exceed four (4) amperes. Notice! Do not install the remote 
sense lead to this terminal. 
 
“I” Terminal - Indicator lamp/Ignition terminal carries full system 
voltage. Current draw should not exceed one (1) ampere. It is 
recommended current is not drawn from this terminal. 
 
Ground Screw 
– Ground lead ensures alternator is grounded. A
Ground lead is strongly recommended for optimum performance. 
 
“Remote Sense” Terminal - Monitors batteries system voltage at 
the batteries or the common distribution point. The sense terminal 
on the 33SI, 34SI & 35SI & 36SI is the fourth terminal and is 
identified with a “remote sense” label on the back cover plate. 
 
If installing a remote sense alternator in a vehicle that does not
have a sense line, connect a lead, with a 5 ampere fused 
link, from the voltage sense terminal to the positive (+) battery 
terminal or the common distribution point at the starter solenoid 
battery (+) terminal. See diagram below. 
If installing a non-remote sense alternator in a vehicle that has
a remote sense line, disconnect and secure the wire from the 
battery. Notice! Be careful not to ground the leads open end and if 
it has a fuse it should be deactivated. 
Only connect the remote sense line to the remote sense
terminal.
The “R” Terminal is Not the Remote Sense Terminal!
 
NOTE: Output voltage can be lowered, if necessary, on 
34SI, 35SI & 36SI alternators by installing a jumper wire 
between the remote sense and battery (+) terminals when a 
remote sense line is not used. Use an 18 AWG minimum 
wire size terminated with ring terminals to fit. Securely crimp 
and solder the connections

ADDING A REMOTE SENSE LINE
Delco Remy strongly recommends taking advantage 
of remote sense technology. 
 
Remote Sense technology allows for a more 
complete battery charge and can result in extended 
battery life. 
 
ITEMS NEEDED
-
5 Amp Inline Fuse (Sealed)
 
- 
16 or 14 Gauge wire (depending on length)
-
Ring terminals to fit Remote Sense terminal and 
Battery Positive terminal. 
-
Convoluted tubing anywhere wire passes metal.
 
NOTE: The fuse and convoluted tubing is to protect the 
vehicle from the wire rubbing through to ground. 
 
- 
RELAY PIN TERMINAL MATING CONNECTOR - OBTAIN FROM 
DELPHI OR OTHER APPROVED SOURCE IF REQUIRED.
