Sounds very close to normal for the Alton AC output.


Here is the testing procedure from Alton



QUOTE::This is our testing procedure:


Two static tests (engine off):


[1-1]test continuity between the 2 wires from AC generator. There should be CONTINUITY between those wires.


[1-2]test continuity between one (or the other) wire from the AC generator and the Alton body. There should be NO continuity.


Two dynamic tests (engine running):


[2-1]disconnect the AC generator from regulator. Start engine. Check AC voltage between the 2 wires of AC generator. This voltage should reach 20-22 volts AC as soon as you rev up engine (let's say at a high idling rpm).


[2-2]connect the regulator to the AC generator and anything as it should be. Start engine. Check DC voltage between the 2 terminals of battery. This voltage should reach 13 volts DC as soon as you rev up engine (let's say at a high idling rpm).
