What is the 4th post/terminal for? Does it have to be wired to the ignition?

I had the same question I find this pdf and it help me http://www.google.co.jp/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trekdocs.com%2Fpdf_server.php%3Ffile%3DMultibattery_Isolator_Instructions&ei=y8hXU--QDM6E8gWvxIGwAg&usg=AFQjCNGbSzjvfzQTD38KcHAP-9tfrtGvpA&bvm=bv.65177938,d.dGc

Hello Eric ; The 4th ( the Delcotron )I am guessing-is only for late model GM alternators that use an exciter circuit for the field windings and honestly as a mechanic you may only need it if you have GM chassis in your motor home /camper .I think you can safely ignore that 4th post if what you have is not a GM vehicle . I have not hooked my up yet but it is for my Toyota motor home starting motor /Cabin accessories battery split . Cheers ;Kim

I'm probably not going to be much help but my husband wired it to the truck battery from the camper. I don't remember him saying anything about it being wired to the ignition. Sorry.

Most alternators on new vehicles have an integral electronic voltage regulator that requires the use of the 4-stud battery isolator. The small 4th stud is for connection to a circuit switched by the ignition switch. The newer alternators were first introduced by Delco and are therefore sometimes called `Delcotron-type alternators'. A 4-stud battery isolator can be used with older pattern alternators (in this case the 4th stud will remain unconnected), but a 3-stud battery isolator cannot be used with the Delcotron-type alternator.

Eric - you would only use 3 of the terminals.One terminal receives the power from the alternator and two others feed the batteries.This system works well on my boat.One terminal feeds my starting battery and the other feeds the battery for all the instrumentation.

The ignition is electronic, however it sometimes doesn't want to light on the first try, so I started using a lighter since I have one right there anyway.

I can't say for sure, but I think it would work under the hood, although they suggest to keep it near the tank. I think the most important thing is not to have too much higher than the tank. Keep it mounted low in the engine compartment and it should work ok. Yes, you can wire it to the ignition switch. If you haven't started the vehicle for a while, many weeks, when you turn the key on just wait for a little before turning it to the start position. That way it will pump new gas into the carb and will will start much quicker.

At the left of the back are two jacks. The lower one is for an external speaker. The upper one is a terminal for connecting an optional cable for use with ignition key On/Off function. The important phrase is "optional."

The ignition switch is mounted on one of the base legs. It is battery operated.

Hello, you need two of these wire sets, one of these works for 3 ignition coils, and your vehicle has total 6 coils. Thanks, Tom

you need to hook it up to a power source that comes on when the ignition comes on

This PerTronix 1281 has nothing to do with other ignition wiring on the car. You can bypass it, don't remove it, this ignition system works alone just remove the points , condenser hock it up and run the engine.

You can wire it to the battery or to the hot coming off the ignition switch so the fuse block will only be on when the key is on. It works either way.

I used 2.8mm crimp-on terminal ends to connect mine. That's what you'll find on many dynamo hubs and taillights.

Mine did not, however, if that was what I was going to do with it, this is what I would do. Connect it to the 24v battery under the hood, then run an extension cord through the firewall under the dashboard. Once installed (very easy) you never have to mess with it again, and it won't get lost when you are not using it.

There should be no reason why you can't. Just make sure you attach it to a live terminal if you want it to work while the ignition is off. Good Luck

Three things to check: 1. Do you really want the negative terminal on the left side of the battery? That's where it is on this particular one. 2. Check the battery configuration on your vehicle. The battery needs a different hold-down than the normal rectangular one. 3. Do you want a "post-type" hookup rather than a "screw-in" mount? This one is a "post-type".

Hello. No, it will need to be connected to the Amp remote wire for proper operation. (The ignition power will not work due to the timing sequence) Thank you, -Matt

The accessory power cable needs to be wired to accessory power from the ignition switch. If you want the unit on without the switch on you have to wire the accessory wire directly to a hot wire, like the POS. on the battery. I believe the accessory wire is yellow but check your manual to be sure.

I didn't have a ring terminal either. Black to ground, red to power. A ring terminal would just be an easier way to bolt or screw the ground to the chassis.

no relay. if its 6 volt sys use 6 volt if it has been converted to 12volt use 12volt probably need three terminal only starter wires to large terminal i wires to ignition only adopt electric key ignition to start with key like a car eleminat all push buttons works great on my 12volt 8n remember i is for ignition s is for starter which you want need to use.
