In the past, each time we've run into this issue with the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251 it's always been an issue with the ground connection. I recommend checking to ensure that your ground connection is properly fixed to the chassis of your Gladiator to ensure a proper connection.
There is also the chance that your G-Force controller needs to be adjusted to prevent it from activating when stationary and blowing the fuse. I've attached a little snippet from the manual below to walk you through this.
If your fuse keeps blowing then let me know and we can troubleshoot further.
