OPERATION AFTER START PROCESS
Once the engine has been started, the belt driven alternator (10) generates a current. The output
generated by the alternator is a square wave pulse voltage through the "P" terminal and the frequency of
the pulse voltage is proportional to the rotation of the alternator. The starter controller (7) monitors the
frequency of the output current. Once the frequency equivalent to 500 rpm is sensed the connection
between "S" and "E" terminals and the connection between "B" and "PP" terminals are opened. As a result
the rotation of the starter (9) is stopped. Once the engine is running, the starter (9) will not operate even if
the starter switch (5) is moved to the start position, preventing possible damage to the starter (9).
