6.5 Outdoor installation
If you install the motor outdoors, provide the motor 
with a suitable cover and open the drain holes to 
avoid condensation on the electronic components. 
See figures 4 and 5.
The cover must be sufficiently large to ensure that 
the motor is not exposed to direct sunlight, rain or 
snow. Grundfos does not supply covers. We 
therefore recommend that you have a cover built for 
the specific application. In areas with high humidity, 
we recommend that you connect the motor 
permanently to the mains supply and activate the 
built-in standstill heating function. See section 
10.19 ""Standstill heating"".

Grundfos)
6.6 Drain holes
If you install the motor in moist surroundings or areas 
with high humidity, the bottom drain hole must be 
open. The enclosure class of the motor will then be 
lower. This helps prevent condensation in the motor 
as the motor becomes self-venting, and it allows 
water and humid air to escape.
The motor has a plugged drain hole on the drive 
side. You can turn the flange 90 ° to both sides or 
180 °.

7. Electrical installation
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be 
replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's 
service partner or a similarly qualified person.
The user or the installer is responsible for the 
installation of correct earthing and protection 
according to local regulations. All operations must be 
carried out by a qualified electrician.
7.1 Protection against electric shock, 
indirect contact
Protective-earth conductors must always have a 
yellow and green (PE) or yellow, green and blue 
(PEN) colour marking.
7.1.1 Protection against mains voltage transients
The motor is protected against mains voltage 
transients in accordance with EN 61800-3.
7.1.2 Motor protection
The motor requires no external motor protection. The 
motor incorporates thermal protection against slow 
overloading and blocking.
7.1.3 External switch
We recommend that you connect the motor to an 
external switch.
Connect the switch via the terminals 2 (DI1) and 6 
(GND). See fig. 10 (FM 100), fig. 11 (FM 200) or fig. 
12 (FM 300).
Enable the ""External stop"" function. See section 
10.7 "Digital inputs".
When fitting a cover to the motor, observe 
the guideline in section 6.4 Ensuring motor 
cooling.

DANGER
Electric shock
- Death or serious personal injury
- Switch off the power supply to the motor 
and to the signal relays. Wait at least 5 
minutes before you make any 
connections in the terminal box. Make 
sure that the power supply cannot be 
accidentally switched on.
DANGER
Electric shock
- Death or serious personal injury
- Check that the supply voltage and 
frequency correspond to the values 
stated on the nameplate.
WARNING
Electric shock
- Death or serious personal injury
- Connect the motor to protective earth 
and provide protection against indirect 
contact in accordance with local 
regulations.
