INTRODUCTION
The following may damage the unit:
• Supplying over 16V to the power supply jack
• Supplying over 30V to the solar panel jack
• Operating in an environment over 110 degrees F
• Drawing more than 40A on the output jack for more than a short time
• Connecting a battery of the wrong type (as selected by the jumpers) may
damage the battery and/or cause the battery to start on fire or explode
• The Epic does not have internal fuses. It is advisable to have a safety
fuse close the battery (like 50A)
• If the output is connected directly to your equipment (as opposed to
connected to a RIGrunner or PWRguard), then that cable should be
fused
