<p>I called Jabiru in Australia and found out that the module is a thermal overload switch. I guess it cuts off </p>
<p>alternator current if excessive. Thanks for the info guys !</p>

<p>I wonder of the 0.5 ohm resistor was used to measure current. Doesn't really make sense though. If you were drawing 20 amps (Max for stock regulator) there would be a 10 volt drop across that resistor.</p>

<p>Do you know why one of the wires goes to a .5 ohm shunt and not the other then? I assume that I must connect from the other terminal of the shunt to pin #1 on the regulator and the loose wire to the #3 pin.</p>

<p>I'm positive (pun intended! LOL!) that you're correct, Doug - the two wires are AC output and it doesn't matter which way they are connected to 1 & 3.</p>

<p>If the wires are the same color, I am fairly confident that they are the AC output of the alternator and it won't matter which wire goes to 1. On the diagrams I have, the two wires go to 1 and 3 on the regulator. 2 is tied to ground.</p>
