Siemens Industry, Inc. 
 
Barrier Terminal Strips 
Terminal contacts on the back of the MJ-5 Control Panel 
allow for external control over certain functions such as 
VRC activation and tap changing. These terminals can be 
used to provide an electrical interface to a SCADA system 
for remote control applications and/or other desired control 
functions. 
 
1.3 Mounting on Siemens Regulators 
The MJ-5 Control Panels are mechanically and electrically 
compatible and interchangeable with earlier MJ, IJ and SJ 
series and earlier control units. They can be mounted in the 
existing enclosure by simply swinging the control to be 
replaced outward on its hinges, disconnecting the polarized 
disconnect switch (PDS), then removing the unit and 
inserting the new unit (see Appendix B). 
 
1.4 Mounting on Cooper Regulators 
A retrofit kit is available for mounting the MJ-5 Control 
Panels on Cooper regulators. The kit includes all of the 
necessary hardware and a set of complete instructions for 
mounting and connecting the MJ-5 to the regulator. The 
retrofit is accomplished without the necessity of replacing 
the waterproof housing. See the Retrofitting Cooper 
Regulators Application Note for details. Contact your 
Siemens representative for ordering information. 
 
1.5 Mounting on GE Regulators 
A retrofit kit is available for mounting the MJ-5 Control 
Panel on GE regulators. The kit includes all of the 
necessary hardware and a set of complete instructions for 
mounting and connecting the MJ-5 to the regulator. The 
retrofit is accomplished without the necessity of replacing 
the waterproof housing. See the Retrofitting GE Regulators 
instruction manuals in Appendixes O and P. 
 
Contact your Siemens representative for ordering 
information. 
 
1.6 Mounting on Load Tap Changers 
A retrofit kit is available for mounting the MJ-5 Control 
Panels on LTCs. The kit includes all of the necessary 
hardware and a set of complete instructions for mounting 
and connecting the MJ-5 to the LTC.
