Lp(A) 
Natural cooled  1FT703 to 1FT706 
1FT708 to 1FT710 
65 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance 
70 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance 
Forced ventilation  1FT706 to 1FT710  73 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance 
Water cooled  1FT706  
1FT708 to 1FT710 
65 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance 
70 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance 
The motors are certified for a wide range of installation and operating conditions. These 
conditions, such as rigid or vibration-isolated foundation design, influence noise emission, 
sometimes significantly.
