ARCO Zeus IE (Internal/External) Alternator
ARCO Zeus IE (Internal/External) alternators are designed and recommended for
use with our Zeus high energy Bluetooth alternator regulator, the Zeus IE
Alternator utilizes both an Internal regulator and a field wire connection. If
battery loads are relatively small and your engine is running frequently, the
alternator’s internal regulator may be sufficient to support your electrical
needs without external regulation. If your vessel utilizes larger battery
banks or the engine’s duty cycle is less frequent, the Zeus IE Alternator
combines and works seamlessly with ARCO Zeus high energy Bluetooth alternator
regulator.
Note The waterproof male connector with pins is included in a bag
within the alternator box. This can be pinned out to connect your system
wiring to the alternator for a waterproof connection.
*If you are not sufficiently experienced with charging system upgrades, we recommend consulting with a certified technician prior to installation.
