review and check off each applicable step in the Installation
Checklist included in Appendix A (page 44) of this manual.

circuit breaker panel before starting the
!
installation. If power is applied during
the installation, fire, electrical shock, or
other serious injury may occur.
WARNING:
Connect the display only to a power
source between 10 and 36VDC. Voltages
!
outside of this range can result in fire or
damage. Ground equipment properly in
order to prevent electric shock or mutual
interference.

Be sure to use only 7 Amp fuses. Using
the incorrect fuse values can result in
!
fire or damage to the display. The 1201
and 1202 both use 7 Amp external fuses.
WARNING:
If the power cord must be shorter, make
sure to keep the external fuses intact.

that supplied, use a heavier gauge wire.
In all cases, make sure to use 7 Amp
external fuses on both positive and
