In certain instances, shorten the motor cable to comply with EN 55011 A1 and EN 55011 B.
Copper (60/75°C) conductors recommended.
Aluminium conductors
Aluminium conductors are not recommended. Terminals can accept aluminium conductors but
the conductor surface has to be clean and the oxidation must be removed and sealed by neutral
acid free Vaseline grease before the conductor is connected.
Furthermore, the terminal screw must be retightened after two days due to the softness of the aluminium. It
is crucial to keep the connection a gas tight joint, otherwise the aluminium surface will oxidize again.

All digital inputs are galvanically isolated from the supply voltage (PELV) and other high-voltage terminals.
1) Terminals 27 and 29 can also be programmed as output.
2) Except safe stop input Terminal 37.
3) Terminal 37 is only available in FC 302. It can only be used as safe stop input. Terminal 37 is suitable
for category 3 installations according to EN 954-1 (safe stop according to category 0 EN 60204-1) as
required by the EU Machinery Directive 98/37/EC. Terminal 37 and the Safe Stop function are designed in
conformance with EN 60204-1, EN 50178, EN 61800-2, EN 61800-3, and EN 954-1. For correct and safe use
of the Safe Stop function follow the related information and instructions in the Design Guide.
