R620 *Only use specified fuses in PD. The only fuses permitted for use in the PD are automotive blade fuses with the following values:

A. for the PDP, ATM style fuses with values matching the value printed on the device’s corresponding fuse holder,

B. for all PDs ATC/ATO style fuses with values 10A or lower, and

C. for the PDH, ATM style fuses with values 15A or lower with the exception of a single 20A fuse for powering a PCM or PH.

Note that these fuses must be pressed very firmly to seat properly. Improper seating can cause a device to reboot upon impact.

R619 *Only use specified circuit breakers in a PD. The only circuit breakers permitted for use in the PD are:

R615 *Power roboRIO as specified. The roboRIO power input must be connected directly to a non-switched pair of protected output terminals of a PD with a 10A fuse or circuit breaker installed. No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker or fuse supplying this circuit.

R621 *Protect circuits with appropriate circuit breakers. Each branch circuit must be protected by 1 and only 1 circuit breaker or fuse on the PD per Table 8‑3. No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker or fuse supplying this circuit with the exception of devices downstream of a permitted motor power adapter board placed between the PD and a motor controller (WCP-1380, WCP-1903, WCP-1904, RF-4003, RF-4004, RF-4005).

R610 *1 breaker/fuse per circuit. All circuits, with the exceptions of those listed in R615 and R617, must connect to, and have power sourced solely by, a single protected connector pair of the PD. Circuits must not connect to the main power input of the PD.
