Secon 1 – General informaon
1.0 General informaon about Motoplat VC-11R alternator tester:
The Motoplat VC-11R is an alternator tester that allows you to check and test an alternator that is mounted
on the latest cars, such as: BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen and Audi.
This alternators are controlled by:
COM (LIN / Start-Stop) PSA / Mercedes Benz / Chrysler / Volks Wagen /
BMW / Audi / Skoda /Seat / Honda / Toyota /
Porsche / Renault / Fiat / Volvo / Ford / Landrover
COM (BSS 1,2,3) BMW / Rolls Royce / Renault / Mini / Audi / Volks
Wagen / Mercedes Benz (old types)
PWM Ford Group / Mazda / Landrover / GM / Scania
PD Drive Mazda
RLO Toyota (sense)
CHyundai / Kia / Nissan (from 2005) / Honda
DFM (Posive / Negave / 24 Volt) Mercedes Benz / Volkswagen / Audi / PSA / Honda
/ Toyota
Aer selecng the right mode, the VC-11R alternator tester only takes a few seconds to automacally iden-
fy the type of regulator used on the alternator that needs to be tested (Lin_1, Lin_2, BSS_1,2,3).
If connected, the monitor will also display informaon about the DFM signal while the tester is checking
the PWM.
Inial seng of the VC-11R voltage is 14.5V, but it can be changed by pressing the buons ‘15.5V’, ‘13.5V’,
‘12.5V’ or the ‘OFF’ buon. This duplicates the actual situaon in the car during charging.
The DFM signal is displayed in percentage (%), which allows you to evaluate the performance during charg-
ing at a specic moment.

Secon 2 – Installaon
2.0 Connect Motoplat VC-11R tester to power source:
The Motoplat VC-11R works in combinaon with the car
electronics. That is why it is necessary to connect the VC-
11R to the car baery by using the cables +B and GND.
• Aach the red +B cable to the 12V socket of the car
baery.
• Aach the black GND cable to the Ground of the car
baery.
(Note: The VC-11R needs to be connected to the same
power source as the alternator!)

2.1 Connect the Motoplat VC-11R tester to the alternator:
COM
• Disconnect the alternator plug cable of the car.
• Connect the plug cable to the VC-11R by using the
green output cable.
• Connect the VC-11R to the alternator’s plug connecon
by using the red input cable
When the VC-11R tester is connected correctly, it will turn
on automacally.
2.2 Connect the Motoplat VC-11R tester to the alternator:
Ford / Opel
• Disconnect the alternator plug cable of the car.
• Connect the plug cable to the VC-11R by using the blue
and yellow output cable
• Connect the VC-11R to the alternator’s plug connecon
by using the black input cable
When the VC-11R tester is connected correctly, it will turn
on automacally.

In some cases when tesng BSS protocols, aer the VC-11R idenes the protocol it starts to „lose” the
idencaon and tries to idenfy it again and again. When this happens, you have to press 13,5 and 15,5
buons simultaneously, what puts the tester into manual mode, allowing you to connue the test.
It happens because the signal contains not only data for alternators, but also some „useless” informaon
that can interfere with the tester.

4.7 DFM Explanaon
DF(M) stands for Digital Field Monitor.
Every alternator brand has a dierent abbreviaon for the DF(M) connecon, for example: FR(Field Return),
DF(Digital Field) , DFM(See above), M(Monitor), LI(Load Indicator).
They all funcon in the same way.
Funcon:
About the DFM connecon there is a posive and negave measurement and both work with a block pulse.
When the alternator load increases the block pulse depending on the car applicaon becomes wider or
smaller. This is measured in % also called PWM(Pulse Width Modulaon).
The car ECU then knows what the load is at a specic moment during charging.
If the load is too high the car ECU can shut down some car accessories and or increase the idle speed.
