A fuse
MUST
be in each position in use.
ANY ATTEMPT
TO BYPASS OR SHORT ACROSS THE FUSES
IS DANGEROUS AND VOIDS THE RIGRUNNER
WARRANTY
. Since the maximum available automotive
fuse is 40 amps, the RIGrunner will be protected as long
as any value ATC/ATO fuse is installed. Choose the correct
fuse for your equipment. Standard ATC/ATO automotive
blade fuses are used. These fuses are available in 10
values ranging from 1 amp to 40 amps.
The DC input should have a fuse that is appropriate for the
power supply or battery rating. If using a low power or QRP
equipment, consider using a lower value fuse than the 25
amp value supplied. Ideally all of the outlets should have
a fuse that is the next higher value above the maximum
current draw of the unit on that fuse. If using a power cord
with a fuse, match that value or go one or two values higher.
Sizing each fuse for each unit is desirable, but not absolutely
necessary. Having a higher value than the minimum will
offer less protection for that unit, too low a value and the
fuse will blow out prematurely.
Note that each fuse position has a LED blown fuse indicator
that will conveniently light up if an output fuse is blown.
There must be power to the RIGrunner and a load on the
circuit that has the blown fuse for the blown fuse LED to
light.
