I have the PlanePower alternator, which has a lead for an alternator-out light. I have this connected to a lamp on my panel. My question is, under what conditions does it activate? I am beggining to test my electrical system with a couple of 6V flashlight batteries in series. When I hook this battery up and turn on the BATT switch, my alternator-out light illuminates. When I then turn on the ALT switch, the alternator-out light remains illuminated. Is this to be expected? Does the light illuminate based on the output voltate of the alternator (which would be zero when the engine is not running, I guess) or is it determined by activation/deactivation of the alternator field (which should be on when I turn-on the ALT switch) ?
