The Altalyzer device is used to check the proper operation of alternators equipped with electronically controlled voltage regulators. In alternators of this type, the value of the charging voltage is not constant, but varies depending on external factors such as engine speed, the number of power consumers on, etc. The voltage value at any given time is determined by the engine controller by sending the appropriate information to the alternator.
In order to check the correct operation of a charging system operating on the basis of an alternator with an electronic voltage regulator, a device is needed that allows simulation of control signals, thus replacing the engine controller in this regard. Such a device is the Altalyzer. With its help, you can freely set the value of the alternator charging voltage, which allows you to check the correctness of its operation regardless of the prevailing external conditions.
