Thank you for choosing Schaffner FN 3025/FN 3026 filters to solve your EMC challenges. Please
follow the guidelines below to ensure a satisfying and reliable filter function for many years of
operation.
1. General guidelines
QMount the filter on a clean conductive surface (or DIN-rail) free of paint or lacquer.
QInstall the filter as close as possible to the noise source, using short direct wire connections.
QProtect the filter from liquid, excessive dust and aggressive gases.
QDo not expose the filters to conditions beyond specifications in the datasheet.
2. Installation and electrical connection
FN 3025/FN 3026 are delivered with
closed plastic safety covers and
unfastened terminals. To install the
filter please proceed as follows:
QMount the filter on a metal surface
with four appropriate screws and
washers or snap it onto a TS 35
DIN-rail.
QFirst connect the green/yellow wire
to the earth stud of the filter.
QGently lift the two hinged plastic
covers.
QConnect phase wires with cable
lugs by pushing down and
tightening the screws.
QPlease note the torque
recommendation on top of the
filter.
QPush the covers back into their
locked position to finish the filter
installation.

* Schaffner recommends the use of insulated and UL-recognized ring lugs or fork lugs of the
appropriate size.
** Specification in () relates to earth connector.
Indicated wire sizes are for field wiring; wire size may be reduced for chassis/cabinet wiring, especially
when fixing two wires in one terminal (respect your local cabinet installation standards).
The installation guidelines above need to be obeyed to ensure the expected filter function. All relevant
electrical and mechanical data can be found in the FN 3025/FN 3026 datasheet or the installation
guidelines. For further information please contact your local Schaffner partner.
