Clearance must be allowed below the Control Panel for the cable connections and fuse access.
The Control Panel should be installed in a suitable location to allow maintenance but also to protect the unit
from mechanical damage or tampering.
Where the effects of fire could result in the failure or incorrect operation of the fire curtain barriers for the
appropriate fire resistance of the compartment, all electrical wiring, the drive mechanism, the control
equipment, etc. shall be rated to 300 °C or located such that it is not exposed to temperatures above its

5.1.1 Connection Cover Mounting (Optional)
If provided, the MK5 Connection Cover is to be mounted directly underneath the MK5 Control Panel so it is
flush up against it. Additional clearance will be required below the MK5 Control Panel to accommodate this.
The Connection Cover needs to be positioned to the far left on the MK5 Control Panel so that the cut out of
the enclosure fits around the foot of the MK5 to retain full access to the fuses on the right.
The Connection Cover comes with 4 Qty
fixing holes located inside the body of the
enclosure, the same fixings used on the MK5
Control Panel are to be used.
There are a total of 15 Qty knock out points
located around the sides and bottom of the
enclosure. These can be fitted with the
standard 20mm diameter cable glands.
Once the enclosure has been mounted and
all the cables secured, the lid can then be slid
over the top to sit underneath the MK5
Control Panel lid and be secured using the 2
Qty fixing holes.
Note: Please ensure there is suitable clearance on the right-hand side to maintain easy
access to the 3 Qty fuse holders.
5.1.2 BMS Interface Mounting (Optional)
If supplied, the MK5 BMS Interface unit will need to be mounted locally to the MK5 Control Panel. Two of
these Interfaces will be required for full BMS (Curtain status and Battery status).
The Interface unit will need to be installed
by using the 4 Qty 4mm diameter fixing
points inside the enclosure. M3 fixings are
to be used to install.
