Warning! 

Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the product.

 

 

Warning! The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation location, 
anchoring method, mounting hardware and electrical installation are the 
responsibility of the installer. All local safety regulations and legal requirements 
must be observed when installing and connecting the PDE Junction Box. 
Installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only.  

Contact your Martin supplier for assistance if you have any questions about how to install this 
product safely. 

Product location 

The PDE Junction Box is fully IP65 rated and may be used indoors or in a temporary outdoor 
location. 

Observe the following limitations in selecting a location:  

x

 

Respect the limitations listed under Safety information’ on page 5. 

 

Mounting the junction box 

The junction box may be mounted directly to a surface using the holes provided on the side 
flanges, or a rigging clamp (such as the Super Lightweight Half Coupler Rigging Clamp black: 
P/N 91602018, listed in the accessories) may be attached to the rear side using an M10 bolt, 
maximum depth into box 22mm. 

 

(this picture shows the Passive Junction Box but the Active Junction Box is similar) 

 

x

 

If the Junction Box is rigged to a truss or mounted where it could cause injury by falling, 
a safety cable bond must be fitted to it using the 6 mm safety bond attachment points 
on the side flanges. The safety cable must comply with EN/IEC 60598-2-17:2018 
Section 17.7.4 or BGV C1 / DGUV 17, and must be capable of bearing a static 
suspended load at least six times (or more if required by locally applicable regulations) 
the weight that it secures.
