2.05 Wiring Interconnections There are three fuse terminals in the solar/relay box, these should all be opened to disconnect the fuses before any wire connections are completed. Open a fuse holder by pulling up on the holder tab as shown below. One is in the left of the solar controller and the other two are on the right as shown below. - Page 7 Each fuse holder contains a spare fuse, the spare fuse can fall out easily, if the spare fuses fall out ensure they are note replaced in the incorrect holder as the fuses have different fuse ratings. Note where cables have an EMC screen or shield this should be terminated correctly in the EMC cable gland Remove the fuse from the + battery clamp lead as shown below and retain in a safe place.
