IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
60 amp Alternator Wiring Change!
If you have purchased a 60amp alternator or a Firewall Forward Kit containing this
alternator from Van?s Aircraft since Jan 1st, 2006, please note/accomplish the following
wiring change. Our supplier began shipping new (rather than rebuilt) units as of the
first of the year. These new units utilize a slightly different regulator that requires a
different wiring configuration than what is called out in the paperwork supplied with
the alternators and the Firewall Forward drawings. The change is simple but important!
will normally correlate to the green wire on the plug. The other two terminals (red and
blue wires) are not to be used. Please see the attached diagram.
If you alternator is currently wired to the old configuration, all you need to do is remove
the connection for the red wire. Older alternators will also function correctly with only the
green wire connected.

the alternators and the Firewall Forward drawings. The change is simple but important!
There is a three terminal plug on the back of the alternator. When viewed from the back
with the two parallel terminals down, only the lower left terminal should be used. This will normally correlate to the green wire on the plug. The other two terminals (red and
blue wires) are not to be used. Please see the attached diagram.
If you alternator is currently wired to the old configuration, all you need to do is remove
the connection for the red wire. Older alternators will also function correctly with only the
green wire connected.
If you have questions about this change, please email or call Van?s Technical Support
for assistance.Sincerely,
