End plates

A left-hand and a right-hand end plate are
required as a mechanical termination of the
terminal. These end plates fulfil the following
functions:
•
They comply with protection class IP65.
•
They contain connections/holes for the pro-
tective earth cable.
•
They contain holes for fitting on walls and to
the hat rail clamping unit.
The right-hand end plate of the ISO valve
terminal is sufficiently grounded via the screw
connections and pre-fitted spring contacts of the
sub-bases.
There are different types of right-hand end plate
for valve terminals of type 03 (MIDI/MAXI). All
are supplied with pre-fitted earth cables.
CAUTION
The right-hand end plate of valve terminal type
03 must be grounded via the earth cable
before it is fitted. This is to avoid high voltages
on the metal surface in the case of a fault.
