Page 24: Connecting Power
2.5 CONNECTING POWER For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected to a fused circuit on the vehicle. This fused circuit requires a 5 Amp maximum time delay (slow blow) high interrupting rating fuse. If the supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the positive lead within 5 inches of the battery positive (+) terminal. - Page 25 For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should not be made at any point after the ignition switch of the vehicle. CAUTION 3. Route the cable the shortest way possible. The input cable from the connection to the battery is rated for a maximum temperature of 105°C (221°F). When routing this cable it should be protected from physical damage and from surfaces, which might exceed this temperature.
