VPX users know J12 pin 11 is designed to be used for the alternator field wire and can be set from 1 to 5 amps and tied to a switch. Since I run an EFI system I wanted to keep anything connected to the electrical system that operates the engine off the VPX. That seems to be a pretty standard recommendation from the EFI producers and seems logical.
I would like to use J12 pin 11 for something else besides the field power. (I ran out of circuits) The issue is the VPX schematic will show as the alternator either On or Off. (See pics) I can label the switch properly but that will not change what the schematic depiction says. Since I know what the true meaning of "Alternator On or Off" (Controls my instrument lights) it's not a deal breaker jut would be nice not to have it look this way. Anyone know if I can change the label or better yet eliminate the Alternator box on the screen?
