Fuses:
Blade fuse comes in three sizes: Mini,
Standard and Maxi. Fuse color determines
amperage ratings. A blown fuse indicates an
over-current condition has occurred. Typically
the conductor strip in the center of the fuse is
broken, but not always, and is best verified by
use of a 12 Volt DC test light. Located atop
the blade style fuse housing are two exposed
terminals. The fuse is good if the test light
illuminates at both terminals. This may require
the circuit be activated for power to be present
at the fuse. The fuse is bad if the test light
illuminates at only one terminal.
There are three types of Circuit Breakers:
Type 1 is an automatic reset type circuit
breaker. This type of breaker may cause
component damage under a short circuit
condition. It will not damage the circuit, the
installation or present a safety risk
Type 2 is an automatic reset type circuit
breaker. Under a short circuit condition, this
type of breaker will not cause component
damage or damage to the circuit, the
installation or present a
safety risk.
Type 3 is a manual
reset circuit breaker.
This type of breaker
will open under a short
circuit condition and
must be manually reset.
BATTERIES - HOUSE
House batteries are designed for use with
12 Volt DC operated lights, appliances and
inverters.
House Battery Types:
Liquid Lead Acid (LLA)
Deep Cycle Batteries:
Deep cycle batteries are a type of Liquid
Lead Acid (LLA) battery. Deep cycle batteries
are best suited for use with 12 Volt operated
lights, appliances and inverter/converters.
Deep cycle batteries are designed to have a
majority of their capacity used before being
recharged.
NOTE
Tap water contains minerals which can
alter chemistry and ruin the battery.
Use only distilled water when refilling
the LLA battery.
Battery Slide-Out Tray (Optional)
The slide-out battery tray is secured in place
by a locking mechanism at the front of the
tray. To slide the tray out, pull up on the two
handles to unlock then pull tray out until it
