Connecting the FAM
All hoses on the FAM must be sufficiently conductive to properly
discharge electrostatic charge buildup.
If hoses are used, the ohmic resistance between the fittings—in this
case between the FAM and the tank—may not exceed a limit value
depending on the respective hose type.

The hose connection must ensure a highly conductive transition
between the hose and FAM tube, as well as between the hose and
tank tube.
If this is not the case, all conducting parts (such as the metal mouth
piece at the end of the hose) are to be grounded separately.
Connecting conductive hoses with fittings to hose tubes requires
marking and checking per DIN EN 12 115.
Connect the ground clamp of the FAM to a suitable grounding source
nearby. The grounding lead is 3 m long.
