Atwood original detector had 1 amp fuse in line with the unit - does that 1 amp fuse need to be replaced or is it built into the safety alert?

Only if the fuse is is burnt (The device will not work otherwise) this can be usually seen by a visual check of the actual fuse. otherwise an Ohm meter will have to be used across each lead to check for continuity. If you are replacing the detector my advise is to use all new from the box

be sure to check 5 amp fuse on board check fuse with ohm meter out of socket have seen bad fuse

I would go to fuse panel an pull off the lighter fuse if it was me...there should be a pin that in the kit that does this....

The fuse is wired in-line.. Rated at 15 amps.. It goes into two horns (wired in parallel to each other). The horns face downwards to be less pervious to water.. I also soldered all the wires.. And made sure the wiring was well insulated..

I don't know anything about fuses, but ours are set up with different breakers. Our you sure you have fuses? Haven't seen those in 30 years. Breakers should be fine.

No, you have to order one. If you have more than 3 detectors, it's cheaper to order a 5 pack. You're going to have to do some soldering to attach the existing unit load resistor to a wire so that it reaches the proper terminal on the other side of the unit. Lousy design by GE.

Anderson - there is a fuse that can be seen in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASYoEiOf5x4Could be a simple fix.

I would think that APC might prevent it, as it controls the amount of amperage/electricity going to your sub. On the other hand if you sub has any internal issues it might blow the fuse as well. Did any other items get damaged or blown at the same time, if not then I would think your APC is ok and your sub is the issue.. Call APC 1-800 tech advice and pose the ?

The fuse is only for protection there is another problem that cause the fuse to blown , Technician must see the unit

I didn't install any additional fuses. I'm guessing the ground wire is there to protect the battery connection. It was easy for me to do it, so I did.

I am not sure what model of First Alert my old one were and I have since recycled them. My old and new models have the identical quick connect plug. I did not have to do anything but replace the base mounting ring and plug in the new unit.

If your metal detector has a 1/4 inch plug yes. If it does not, a 1/4in to 1/8in adapter is all you need to fix it!

The single beam sensor has a relay output rated at 1 amp 30 volt max. Hence if you need to set off an alarm when the beam is broke you need to supply the alarm and connect it to the relay terminals.

As far as I know, the fuse is to protect the wire running from the battery. Without a fuse, the wire could be overloaded, heat up and possible catch on fire. A fuse is not very expensive, definilty worth it for your safety. The fuse needs to be rated for the gauge wire that you are going to use. I have 0 gauge wire running from the battery with a 250 amp fuse. The fuse needs to be on the positive wire within 18 inches from the battery.

The fuse provided is for your convenience. You can use whatever values of fuses suit your application. Remove from your fuse box whichever fuse you plan to replace with this add-a-circuit. Plug the add-a-circuit into the fuse box, then plug the fuse you removed into the add-a-circuit, making sure you're plugging the old fuse into the correct socket of the add-a-circuit. For me, it was the fuse socket on the bottom of the two sockets but make sure you check this with a multimeter or other circuit continuity checker. Even a simple battery and LED wired up would work. Good luck!

My box has a circuit breaker. I added a 50amp in-line fuse with a battery disconnect switch.

I dont have this exact unit, but one like it, and it was connected to a breaker panel. I solved the fuse problem by replacing them all with 15A fuzes since the breaker panel was easier to access.
