Electrical Connection of the FAM 

 

 DANGER 

Electric shock 

Danger of fatal injury 

 

  Any work involving the electrical system may 

only be done by a properly trained, certified 
electrician.

 

 

The voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate must coincide with the 
voltage supply present. 

If a plug is present on the FAM or if a plug is mounted, then the FAM is to be 
operated from a correspondingly fused socket. 

The rotating field of the connection socket must be clockwise. If this is not the case, 
then the phases can be rotated in the 16A / 32 A connection plug with the aid of the 
phase changing switch in the plug. For the 63A version, the two phases must be 
switched on the terminal block S0 (e.g. L1 and L2). 

 

A phase sequence relay checks the correct phase sequence after switch-on. In the 
event of an incorrect phase sequence, error message no. 29 is shown on the control 
panel.
