HITACHI Regulator: Testing: Relay: I-Mark

  1. Connect voltmeter between negative terminal and ground and increase engine speed gradually. Voltmeter reading should be 4.0-5.8 volts. If cut-in voltage is too high, adjust by bending coil arm "A" down. Bend up if voltage is too low, See Fig 1.
  2. If adjustment of core arm does not correct cut-in voltage, proceed with point gap adjustment. Disconnect battery. Check armature core gap with armature depressed until moving point is in contact with "B" side point.
  3. Adjust core gap to 0.012" (0.30 mm) by bending point arm "B". Release armature and adjust gap between "B" side point and moving point to 0.016 - 0.047" (0.40 - 1.2 mm) by bending point arm "C". After point adjustment, recheck cut-in voltage. If not within 4.0-5.8 volts, repeat cut-in voltage adjustment.
