P1000m5 Switch panel/ wiring question

[Dragon21]

Pretty sure I know the answer to this, but wanted to check. If running this switch panel, do I need to individually fuse each accessory or can I run the entire panel off a 100w disconnect?

It says it has circuit breakers but I'm not seeing them. If it has them no you don't need fuses.

If it has breakers I have no idea where

Fuses then.

Fuses then.

Yea that's what I'm thinking. It's strange they would wire all the switches like that. Gonna have to undo the wiring for that.

Just put the fuse on the output side. It'll break the circuit either way.

The prewireing installed on this is made to work off an ignition controlled relay. There are two positive red wires and two grounds. One of the red positive wires is for the switches and the other for the voltage meter, USB, and the 12V port. They can both run off one relay if its big enough. You would want to run a constant power wire from your battery to the relay with a fuse close to the battery. Then a ignition switched wire to the relay that will tell the relay to power up the panel. The grounds can be attached to the frame together.

So 1 fuse is enough to protect everything on that panel? I feel like each should be protected individually incase of a short.

If any one of them short it should blow the fuse.

It wouldn't hurt to fuse them all but you still want to fuse your power supply as close to the battery as possible.

I have a 100amp disconnect that I run to from the battery. Typically I run from that to a fuse block and fuse each accessory from there
