Unpacking the FMM
Before delivery, the FMM is inspected for leaks and proper functioning at the
factory, then carefully packed for shipment.
When receiving and unpacking the module, check it for damage in transit.
Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner.
Storing the FMM
Store the FMM in a clean, dry place, in the original packing if possible. Do not
remove the packing until you are ready to install the unit.
Always store the FMM in a horizontal or vertical position on the block, without
its original packaging.

Decoding the model code label

FMM Features
The FMM-A-S is used as a robust and stationary system for the online
measurement of solid particle contamination in hydraulic and lubricant fluids
(e.g. as an indication of wear, dirt entering from outside).
The FMM-A-S features all of the requisite connectors/adapters, enabling it to
be easily connected to existing hydraulic circuits with an operating pressure
range of 15 to 300 bar. Due to the adjustable current regulator, adaptation to
the hydraulic conditions can be carried out with ease.
Advantages offered by the FMM-A-S:
• Cost-effective solution
• Early warning in the case of critical machine states
• Continuous fluid monitoring
• Condition-based maintenance planning
