Voltage regulator adjustment


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I searched and while I can find many references to adjusting my voltage regulator, I haven't found any instructions to do so. Pictured is my voltage regulator, an Electrodelta vr415f out of my 74 F model. I see two pots for adjustment but am not sure which does which. Hoping someone more knowledgeable can fill me in.

I have a 1977 J (actually a 1976) which has a VR415F.  Is there any way to adjust this that doesn't involve running the airplane full blast while I hang upside down under the panel?

The VR415 regulator is not meant to be adjusted in the field, it is a solid state regulator. the only adjustment info you will find in the manuals covers the older regulators.

I was able to adjust it per the service manual.  I removed the right seat for easier access.  Tied down/chocked, started plane, voltmeter on buss, 13.5 volts @ 2000 RPM.  Adjusted to 14.2 volts @ 2000 RPM and 14.3 @ full throttle.

It solved my strobe issue, my radio issue, and my battery issue.
