In order to "excite" the new alternator(s) you have to tap into any fuse that is on with the ignition. At least that's what I just had to do with my DC dual alternators.
I did do it without to see what would happen and the alternator was only reading 12.7 (the battery bank voltage), and after tapping into the IGN1 fuse, it was reading 14.8 (from what I can remember) something in between 14.6 and 14.8.
I'm thinking that voltage tells the alternator that it is on a system and should output voltage.
