Alternator charging for marine engines
In order for the alternator to start charging, the B+ terminal of the alternator must
have +24 V. For certain engine installations, it may be necessary to use an electronic
battery insulator in order for B+ to receive +24 V. Refer to the illustration for con-
nection of the battery insulator.

Marine engines with split ground system
When double alternators controlled from the engine control unit charge different bat-
tery groups, the battery negative terminals must be connected together. Otherwise, a
fault code is generated.
