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.
