INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION OF THIS KIT.
NOTE: IF AIRCRAFT DOES NOT HAVE A CIRCUIT BREAKER OR CURRENT
LIMITING DEVICE IN THE GENERATOR’S OUTPUT AND
REGULATOR’S INPUT CIRCUIT THEY MUST BE INSTALLED.
Part 1, Installation of Alternator and Regulator
1. Disconnect aircraft battery.
2. Remove Generator and voltage regulator.
3. Install Alternator per drawing on page 3. Tension the belt and torque the AN5H-5A adjusting bolts to 200
in/lb and safety wire with 0.032” diameter safety wire. Torque the AN7-42A mounting bolts to 425 in/lb.
4. Ensure that internal jumper #1 and internal jumper #2 of the R1224 regulator are set for 12V
operation (See regulator instructions for location of jumpers).
5. If original output circuit breaker is rated at less than 70-amps and you wish to be able to utilize the
increased capacity of the alternator, remove the breaker and replace with suitable breaker up to 70amp
maximum size. Ensure wire size from alternator output terminal to output circuit breaker and from
output circuit breaker to bus is rated for more than the size of breaker installed per AC43.13-1B.
Note: If aircraft has been equipped with an Amp Meter, ensure that it is of adequate size to handle
the increased output capability before increasing the output wire and breaker.

6. Wire the system as follows:
a. For regulator wiring instructions view the regulator installation instructions.
b. Connect the GRND terminal of the regulator to the common aircraft ground.
c.
Leave the ground jumper installed on the F2 terminal of the alternator.
d. Connect the existing generator output wire to the alternator’s 6mm OUTPUT TERMINAL (or install
a new wire in accordance with AC43.13-1B) using a MS25171-2S terminal nipple for insulation (Not
Supplied). Torque to 50 in/lb.
e. Use the original generator field wire or install a new wire, minimum 18AWG, from the alternator F1
terminal to the FLD terminal of the regulator. Torque the alternator’s F1 terminal nut to 20 in/lb.
f.
Install, in view of the pilot, placard ALP-1001 (ALT FIELD) adjacent to the field switch for the
alternator.
g. Ensure that the FIELD switch/breaker is connected to the aircraft positive bus.
h. If the aircraft has a “Generator Inoperative” indicator lamp, it may be used in this step. If the lamp is
not currently installed or is not compatible use the supplied lamp P/n 14-1010 Alternator
Inoperative Lamp (14 Volt) and install it in pilots clear field of view.
i.
Install, in view of the pilot, placard ALP-1006 (ALT INOP) adjacent to the indicator for the
alternator. Also run a new wire, minimum 18AWG, from the AUX terminal of the alternator to the
AUX terminal of the regulator.
7. Adjust and Test the system:
a. Set FIELD switch to OFF.
b. Turn on MASTER switch and start the engine. With FIELD switch in OFF position ensure that ALT
INOP indicator is illuminated.
c.
Turn on the FIELD switch. Check proper charging indication. Check ALT INOP indicator is off.
Check aircraft maintenance manual for proper bus voltage (typically 14.0V ± 0.3V). Adjust the
regulator to the desired bus voltage at 1200 engine RPM.
d. Recheck and inspect the entire installation. Complete FAA form 337, make log book entry, update
aircraft equipment list, and weight and balance.

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE APPLYING
POWER TO UNIT
1. Remove existing regulator and solid-state over-voltage module (if installed).
2. Install R1224/R1224B Regulator in same location as regulator being replaced. If
mounting holes do not align add mounting holes as required using acceptable methods,
techniques and practices.
3. Connect GRND terminal to aircraft ground. It is critical that the regulator ground is
connected to airframe ground. Without this ground, the regulator and its internal
overvoltage protection cannot function.
4. Connect the FLD terminal to the FIELD (brush) terminal of the alternator.
5. Connect the ENABLE terminal to the regulator/field power source (the wire from the
cockpit ALTERNATOR FIELD switch which is fed from a 7.5 max amp breaker). Note:
In order for the over voltage protection circuit to operate the enable terminal must be
connected to an operational circuit breaker. (In the event of an over-voltage condition the
over-voltage protection circuit will cause the circuit breaker to trip removing all power
from the regulating circuit.) Do not install R1224/R1224B in any aircraft that has an
automatic resetting circuit breaker in the enable line.
6. If the regulator being replaced has a connection to the AUX terminal on the alternator,
connect this wire to the AUX terminal. If not, install a jumper wire between AUX and
ENABLE. Note: No connection to AUX terminal is necessary if an alternator out lamp is
not installed.
7. If the installer wishes to sense voltage at a source other than ENABLE terminal: remove
jumper between ENABLE terminal and SENSE terminal. Connect SENSE terminal to
desired location.
For superceded versions of the R1224/R1224B (Rev B & previous) indicated by silver
label, step 7 does not apply and no sense terminal exists. Wiring of a ‘Sense’ terminal on
these regulators will result in damage to the regulator
8. If an ALTERNATOR out lamp is installed in the aircraft and is to be actuated by the
R1224/R1224B regulator Connect the negative wire of the lamp to the LAMP terminal of
the R1224/R1224B regulator.
9. Remove the regulator cover and ensure that the internal jumper #1 and jumper #2
are set to the proper voltage for the aircraft system. Refer to the picture on page 1.
10. With the engine running and the alternator switch turned on, using a small screwdriver,
set the regulator’s voltage adjustment so that the buss voltage, as measured at the
ENABLE terminal is the desired value. Refer to aircraft maintenance manual or battery
manufacturer’s data for proper voltage setting.
11. Reinstall the R1224/R1224B cover.
Multi-Engine
1. For both regulators, perform steps 1-11 of the Single Engine procedure above.
2. Choose one regulator as the MASTER. It can be either. Connect the OUT terminal of
the MASTER Regulator to the IN terminal of the other Regulator.
NOTE: Both regulators must be the same part number. Adjustments to the voltage setting of
each regulator may be made by turning the other alternator switch off.
Page 3 of 3
Instructions For Continued Airworthiness
It is recommended that the operation of the Plane Power, Ltd. Voltage Regulator
be checked every 100 hour inspection or every annual inspection which ever comes first.
If the regulator is operating at the required voltage level, no adjustment is necessary. If
the voltage level does not meet the Aircraft Manufacturer’s requirement, adjust the
voltage per instructions.
Each 100 hour inspection, the regulator and its’ associated wiring should be
checked for secure electrical connections and physical connection to the airframe.
To maintain the inherent protection from HIRF and lightning, as well as over
voltage protection of the aircraft electrical system, ensure the ground connection between
terminal 1 (GRND) and airframe ground is less than 0.1 OHM.
No special tools are required.
