I have gone with the Z-12 architecture. B&C 60 Amp main and 20amp standby as 

well as the necessary controllers as per Bobs architecture.



How does one test this setup??  I have heard that should I pull the field 

breaker on the main alternator( with the engine running), the standby unit 

will come into play.



Must I leave the 60amp off line until the engine is switched off, before re 

setting??

    You need to order the Standby Regulator to go

    with the SD-20. This regulator gets set for about 1 volt

    below normal alternator output voltage (13.2)  See



http://www.bandc.biz/Bc217.pdf



    After you start the engine, leave the main alternator off

    and the SD-20 should pick up the load and the "sb alt loaded"

    light will come on showing it's on line. Bus voltage should

    be about 13.2 at the point. Turn the main alternator on,

    the light should go out and the bus voltage rises to 14.2.
