MX Series  59 
3.6.2  Output Terminal Blocks 
The MX30-3, MX30-3Pi, MX45-3 and MX45-3Pi have two output terminal blocks, 
TB1A and TB1B. The MX45-1 only has one output terminal block, TB1B. The 
terminal blocks are large enough to accommodate the recommended wire gauge 
sizes shown in Table 3-2. The terminal blocks are in the lower right corner on 
the front of the unit. The front panel needs to be removed to access these 
terminal blocks. 
CAUTION:  REMOVE ALL INPUT POWER TO THE MX BEFORE REMOVING 
THE FRONT PANEL. 
The correct standard size Allen wrenches for connecting output wiring to TB1A 
and/or TB1B are supplied with each MX in the ship kit.  Look for a brown 
envelope.  If the correct tools cannot be found, contact AMETEK Programmable 
Power customer service at repair.ppd@ametek.com
