Help: How to use Add-A-Circuit?

**samwY** · 05-31-2008, 04:43 AM

Quick question guys...I'm about to install my Valentine 1.

There are 2 open fuse slots in my Add-A-Circuit fuse.

FUSE A = used for the fuse I am replacing the circuit with.
FUSE B = ??????

As soon as I get an answer I can install it..

Fuse B is for the "new" circuit.

Ahh yes.
The V1 power goes to the blue crimp.
But what do you put in the fuse B slot? Am I supposed to buy a fuse, if so what number should the fuse have on it?

2 amp

Mine came with an assortment of fuses already, but both slots do need a fuse. The V1 draws at most about 0.5amps. The V1 hardwire kit already comes with a 1amp fuse built in-line, so you can use anything not more than the original one in slot A (not to exceed 10amps), but all you need is a 1 amp fuse if you are just powering the V1.

Alright thanks.

What do these numbers mean on the fuses. I see 10, 15, 12, etc.

I need one that has 1 on it?

It's how much amps of current it is rated for before it blows. Technically you can use anything up to 10 maximum since the V1 hardwire has an in-line number 1amp fuse, but use one with a 1 on it for redundant protecting of your investment.

The V1 should have already come with an extra fuse in the same packaging as the hardwire kit.

I don;t have a VI, but it's probably a different kinda fuse, one of those tube ones?

I think most of the those add a fuse kits do give you a few fuses, Just use the lowest in the kit, I think it is a 3 amp. You just double fusing the V1, since the V1 has an inline fuse already.
