A 24v control voltage is sent down the pilot wire to the far end of the run where it is then connected to earth.
Have you got a 6 pin socket to plug it into?
I tried RS Components as it had their part no on the side, but the one they recommended only had 5-pins (i.e. no pilot pin).

Are you sure?, i come across these plugs and sockets often (with nothing done with the pilot pin though) and as far as i remember the sockets come with the pilot pin in them. i think this is true of the 4 pin (3p + e) ones too. i will check this out tomorrow as we have a few of these sockets scattered about (the 3pne ones) our workshops.
have looked at the rs website for the socket you require and it doesnt show the pilot pin on the ceeform diagram although im sure its there , just not on the diagram.
