John Hervey's unit uses only the light wire, not both the light and
sense as Steve Rubano posted in an email a couple of years ago. (He was
referring to the CS144 though). According to page 2 of the CS130 repair
instructions at <http://www.alternatorparts.com/cs130_sbpage1.htm>
http://www.alternatorparts.com/cs130_sbpage1.htm :
"Unlike other charging systems which have three wires connected to the
alternator, the CS-121 and CS-130 may be used with only two wires
connected to the alternator. The output wire to the battery positive,
and an "L" terminal wire connected to the charge indicator bulb, or to
the resistor, or to both. A basic wiring circuit is shown (Figure 3).
"The use of the "P", "F", and "S" terminals is optional. The "P"
terminal is connected to the stator, and may be connected externally to
a tachometer or other device. The "F" terminal is connected internally
to field positive, and may be used as a fault indicator. The "S"
terminal may be connected externally to a voltage, such as battery
voltage, to sense the voltage to be controlled. For complete circuit,
reference must be made to the vehicle manufacturer's wiring diagrams."
So... if desired, the S terminal could simply be connected to the
battery post on the back of the alt, or any other ignition-on hot wire,
or directly to the bat. But, if you don't use that wire, it reverts to
internal sense, so it wouldn't really matter.

How do the wires on the back hook up to them?
