NOTE: Terminals 20 and 21 are not fitted to the 8600 series controller.
NOTE: It is VERY important that terminal 15 (sensor common) is soundly connected to an
earth point on the ENGINE BLOCK, not within the control panel, and must be a sound electrical
connection to the sensor bodies. This connection MUST NOT be used to provide an earth
connection for other terminals or devices. The simplest way to achieve this is to run a
SEPARATE earth connection from the system earth star point, to terminal 15 directly, and not
use this earth for other connections.
NOTE: If you use PTFE insulating tape on the sensor thread when using earth return
sensors, ensure you do not insulate the entire thread, as this will prevent the sensor body from
being earthed via the engine block.
