For the main power cable, a 15A automotive-style fuse will be fine.

If the unit also has a wire for ignition control (coming out of the accessory plug), a 4A fuse will be more than adequate.

shows the ignition sense and how to enable and disable.
Look on the model specific stuff on the home page and there is a spreadsheet detailing the pinouts
