FUSE REQUIREMENTS 

Due to the small size of the DLS DD series amplifiers, no fuses are incorporated into the panels that normally protect the unit 

from excessive current. Use an in-line fuse holder and fuse for this purpose. 

 

Remember this fuse also protect the vehicle/vessel from a dangerous short circuit. 

 

It is absolutely vital that the main power lead to the amplifier(s) in the system be fused within 18-inches (45cm) of the connection 

to the battery.
