Notes:

Earths (PL612 and PL712) The rail earths may be replaced by a pillar earth, but a bracket shall be fitted at the end of the terminal stack in it's place. Pillar earths will inhibit offset entries.

Entries (PL612, PL615, PL712) Where the quantity of entries has been restricted, this is due to limited space. If multiple entries are required, then the quantity of power terminals shall be reduced accordingly. PL712 - It may be possible for some maximum terminal assemblies to use two M20/O entry positions from the 3 position options i.e. Faces A & C = D1 & A6. Faces B & D = D1 & A7.

Rails (PL612, PL615, PL620 and PL712) 1 Diagonal rail.

Notes:

The junction box shall be fitted with an internal earth terminal/stud that is capable of accepting a conductor equal to that of the largest power terminal.

The IES10 internal/external earth stud shall not foul on any components inside the box.
