9. Shutdown the generator.
10. Reconnect Wire 2 to the Excitation Circuit Breaker.
11. Connect one meter test lead to Wire 11S located in the six
pin connector previously removed from the Voltage Regulator.
Connect the other meter test lead to Wire 44S located in the six
pin connector previously removed from the Voltage Regulator.
See Figure 6-11. Be careful not to damage the pin connectors
with the test leads.
