    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    Using it in place of the polarity box would also be a logical location for the vanner. It has IPX and ANSI/IEC specs for weather, rain, pressure wash and immersion exposures. IMO it is at least as water-proof as the polarity box is. Putting it in place of the polarity box would also be fairly...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    How much room do you have under the passenger dash? I got an extremely good deal on the converter I shoe-horned under my dash. But a Victron orion 70A 24-12 would fit to the kick panel very easy in most cases Under the dash is the best IMO as it can be connected up easily with a few short...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    Victron energy also makes good stuff. This is not an equalizer so would only take 24 from the battery/alt and create 12 for the truck loads. I was looking at one of these for my truck, until I got a good deal on a vanner equalizer. They can be paralleled for 140A, have an adjustable output...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    Google cooper bussman converter, or vanner converter. Both their websites have hookup diagrams, but is not very complicated. You connect 24v from the alt to your series connected pair of batteries. You connect the 24v load lines to the ground and 24v at the batteries. The converter has 3...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    Poor quality, poor service when something went wrong. As for the concept, I think it is simply a pair of alternators tied together. If the alts used are not readilly available, you are back in the position of having a rare bird under the hood and no spare parts… I am not specifically familiar...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    Hav heard nothing but problems with those, but have no personal experience…. Myself I will go with a straight 24v and converter, both widely used commercially in truck and bus fleets and readily available…. Sorry it was a bad alt chassis…. It being brushless it is probably diodes on the rotor...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    That second terminal on the reg is a F- terminal. It samples right where the field winding connects to the regulator. The field receives 24v on one endand the regulator switches/pulses it to ground on the other end to build and regulate the field which causes the generator to create power...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    That link is to the 1506 alternator. The 3030 reg is a part of the 1506 and covered in that troubleshooting guide. It has tests to determine if it is alt or regulator…

    Do you have the Neihoff manual? Goto the neihoff website here to download it. There are troubleshooting procedures in there. https://ceniehoff.com/Documents/Ctrl_Hyperlink/TG18_uid252021124312.pdf There are 2 screw terminals ON THE REGULATOR. The first question I always ask, is with the...
