CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES
EXTERNAL
Like all audio components, the
RUBICON
Class A amplifiers must be fused near
the battery. A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18” of the batterv.
This will prevent a fire in the even of a shorted cable.
See the chart below to
determine the correct fuse value.
INTERNAL
The
RUBICON
Class A amplifiers are fused with an automotive-type fuse. In the
even of a blown power supply fuse, replace with the correct value fuse found in
the chart below. Never replace the fuse with a higher value than what is
supplied.
This may result in amplifier damage and will void
the
warranfy!
