The M10 model includes an additional piece of busbar that can replace the fuse inside the shunt, providing the flexibility to place the main fuse outside the shunt in a different location. This is particularly useful in larger systems where higher-rated fuses are required.
Two VE.Can RJ45 terminators are included, which are used when connecting to a GX device.
