Fuse Requirements
WARNING - For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected to a fused circuit on
the vehicle. If the supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the pos-
itive lead within 5 inches of the battery’s positive (+) terminal. Use VM3055FUSE (or equivalent) to install
the fuse as shown below:
•For all voltages, use the 3A fuse from the kit or a slow blow fuse that has a DC voltage rating greater
than the vehicle input voltage.
Note: For North America, a UL Listed fuse is to be used.
