Voltage regulator wiring need help (2 Viewers)

[stuckinnz]

Hi Guys I need to clear up a few questions, but first is the back ground.
I had a spare Toyota Alternator in the shed, internet search tells me its a Toyota crown limosine Alt. I also had a spare voltage regulator brand new kicking around, so instead of replacing the origanal Alt I made a couple of brackets and I now have twin altenators twin battery's(both stand alone with the possability of hooking them up in case of emergency)




the regulator is an ELECMAN DNC 12-2 with the following wiring:
red on white to Lamp.............I know this one
white on black to ignition ......... easy
black to ground.......... ok
blue to condensor........ have to find one of those
black on white to field ?????????
white to battery ???????
yellow to neutral
ok so the first 4 are easy but my questions are:

yellow to neutral- Is this the negative side of the alt output?
black on white to field- Is this the positive in to the alt(exciter wire)?
white to battery I not sure of this one. The B post on the alt goes to the battery no? through fuses ect. all the current can't flow through this little cable.

Any help would be much appreciated, I want to go wheeling tomorrow 15hrs

You only really need 3 VR wires to run an alternator.
1. Key on power to the VR.
2. Field wire from the VR to the F terminal of the alternator.
3. The VR ground (sometimes a wire, sometimes the metal case of the VR)
4. It is a good idea to have a ground wire between the VR ground and alternator case, so make it 4 wires.

The B+ post wire goes to the battery. It is good practice for this wire to have a fusible link.

Thanks for that but is the field the + volts into the alt?
I think I'll use the lamp as well mainly as I have a really cool old lamp unit of some old brit car
