Abstract
A generator control device disposed in a generator has a signal terminal to be connected to an outside control unit. The control device is composed of a voltage regulating circuit, a first circuit for controlling the regulating circuit according to a potential change of the signal terminal and a second circuit for changing potential level of the signal terminal according to a generator condition. The generator condition signal is transmitted through a signal wire to the outside control unit, and a switch-on signal of the ignition switch is sent to the control device through the signal wire from the outside control unit.
