Charging system - Regulator polarizing question

Both of my SD's are now not charging. They both have had new regulators put in them, with no difference. One was a Hella, the other a Bosch. Now the Hella unit had an installation sheet that mentioned having to polarize the regualtor first, with no other instruction on how to do that.

I believ this involves shorting the B and D terminals on the regulator, but the regulator is internal so I don't think this can be done. I also heard this can be done by shorting the field to battery. With the internal regulator and the plug-in harness, I don't know where to access any of these.

Anybody know? Has anybody had to polarize a regulator before?
