An individual fuse or breaker is required to be installed within 20cm of the both the start

battery and house battery bank.

A DC isolator or fuse is also recommended for the solar input.

All devices must be rated for DC voltage and current.

The solar input fuse or breaker must be able to withstand the short circuit current rating

stated on the solar panel array.

All wiring must conform or exceed the recommendations stated in this manual (page 17).
