CHARGING CIRCUIT ALTERNATOR WITH MONOFUNCTION REGULATOR
Checking the alternator output.
Connect as shown in the diagram opposite, using an ammeter (A), a voltmeter (V),
and a rheostat
(R)or a Volt/Ammeter/Rheostat combination.
Referring to the vehicle’s equipment specification
(see table opposite), adjust the
engine speed and rheostat charge to obtain
U = 13.5 V.
Reminder:The excitation energising current will flow through the warning lamp;
check that the warning lamp comes on when the ignition is switched on. It shouldgo out when the engine has started
(accelerate slightly).
Checking the voltage regulator.
Set the rheostat to zero and disconnect all the electrical consumers.
Display
3000alternator rpm. If U alternator is > 14.7 V, the regulator is faulty.
Note:These tests should be performed with the engine hot and the battery fully
charged.
Method of reading the alternator speed.
Fit a reflecting shim on the pulley of the alternator.
Adjust a stroboscope to the frequency equivalent to the control speed.
(e.g. 2000 rpm = 2000/60 = 83 Hz).
Adjust the engine speed so that the shim appears fixed.

Changing the filtering/drying cartridge
Refitting.
Remove the new cartridge from its packaging.
Do not expose the cartridge, the filter and seals to pollutants.
Lightly oil the seals
(compressor oil).
Remove tool [5] from the reservoir (6).
Insert the new cartridge (5)into the reservoir (6).
Refit the safety circlip (4), using tool [6].
Make sure that the circlip (4)is correctly positioned in its location.
WARNING: Not more than 5 minutes should elapse between the removal of
the cartridge (6) from its packaging and its being fitted.
Refit:
The plastic cap (3), using tool [5] Tighten to 1,2 ±0,1 m.daN.

Compressor lubricant
ESSENTIAL: The compressor lubricant is extremely hygroscopic; always use FRESH oil.
Checking the compressor oil level
There are three specific cases:
1/
Repairs to a system without leaks.2/Slow leak.3/Fast leak.
1/ Repairing a system without leaks.
a)Using draining/recovery equipment not fitted with an oil decanter.
Drain the system as slowly as possible via the LOW PRESSUREvalve, so as not to lose any oil.
No more oil should be added when filling the system with
R 134.a fluid.
b) Using draining/filling equipment fitted with an oil decanter. Drain the R 134.afluid from the system in accordance with the instructions in the equipment handbook.
Measure the amount of oil recovered.
Add the same amount of
NEWoil when filling the system with R 134.afluid.
c) Replacing a compressor. Remove the old compressor, drain it and measure the oil quantity.
Drain the new compressor (supplied full), so that the same amount of NEWoil is left in the compressor as was in the old compressor.
No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.afluid.

Checking the compressor oil level (Continued)
2/ Slow leak.
Slow leaks do not lead to oil loss, therefore the same procedure should be followed as if there was no leak at all.
3/ Fast leak.
This type of leak causes both oil loss as well as allowing air to enter the system.
It is therefore necessary to:
Replace the dehydrator.
Drain as much oil as possible
(when replacing the faulty component).
Either before or during filling of the system with
R 134.afluid, introduce 80 ccof NEWoil into the system.
