Replacing Fuses
A 10 Amp battery fuse and a 3 Amp power-supply fuse are provided to protect the Elite-RS Panel against circuit
overloads. During the life of the product it may be necessary to replace one or both of the fuses to restore operation to
the Elite-RS Panel.
Replace a fuse only after replacing the components responsible for causing the fuse failure. Fuse failure is not a
condition caused by the fuse. Diagnose and replace components in the fuse-circuit before replacing the fuse and oper-
ating the Elite-RS Panel.
10 Amp Battery Fuse
Replace the 10 Amp battery-fuse by removing the fuse, the battery wiring and the standby-batteries.
Specify kit VF1548-00 to replace the red-cable containing the 10 Amp fuse or specify battery-lead-kit VF1514-00 to
replace the red-cable containing the 10 Amp fuse, the jumper-cable and the black-cable.
Replace the 3 Amp Power-Supply Fuse by removing it from the housing contained on the circuit board of the
power supply. Install the replacement fuse in the housing and then test the power supply to determine that it operates.
