Subject SOP to check the AVR R120 and R121

A. Product Affected:-
 Alternators with AVR R120 and R121

B. Issue

 Voltage Issues and Fuse Failure.


 Post receipt of failed part at HO (AVR), it has been observed in majority cases the replaced AVR has
been found OK.

C. Service Information

 Before replacement of AVR at field, kindly ensure to follow the check points provided in the SOP. This
SOP will be helpful in identifying the failure of AVR and avoid unnecessary replacement at field.

Procedure

For R120 and R121

Ensure the Fuse healthiness before


check.
 Remove the green cover.
 Check the fuse and replace if
blown or missing.
