Possible positions for mechanical encoding (1 to 18)

Attention

Terminal Units and Terminal Bases have a mechanical coding which prevents that modules are inserted to wrong places for cases that might result in dangerous parasitic voltages or if modules could be destroyed.

The coding either makes it impossible to insert the module to the wrong place or blocks its electrical function (outputs are not activated).

The following figures show the possible encodings.
