Series Overview
Key specifications shared across the FCM series.
The bottom inlet includes a one-way valve to reduce backflow from the discharge pipe. Water moves upward between the motor case and water jacket for cooling, and a semi-open impeller with a wide internal gap helps reduce clogging by mud and sand.

Configurations
Available 50 Hz / 60 Hz electrical configurations for each model.
The current English catalog publishes one 50 Hz record for each exact code. 60 Hz is available as a customization; the table shows published catalog records only and does not invent unpublished frequency rows.

FCM FAQ
Low-water operation and source boundaries.
Why are FCM and FCME models on one page?
Published data defines one FCM Contents item and presents both as FCM(E) hydraulic selections. The same section provides dimensions for FCM480, FCME480, FCM800 and FCME800.
What does the bottom check valve do?
Published data states that the one-way valve in the bottom inlet helps prevent water in the discharge pipe from flowing back after the pump stops.
How low can the FCM series drain?
Published data identifies a 1 mm continuous running water level. Confirm site conditions and the approved installation before selecting the pump for residue drainage.
What does the E version add?
Published data identifies FCME as the intelligent submersible drainage-pump version and directs readers to the FBME summary for its intelligent characteristics.
Can FCM be supplied for 60 Hz?
Yes. 60 Hz is customizable. The current English catalog publishes four 50 Hz records for the exact codes on this page; confirm the approved 60 Hz curve and electrical scope when ordering a customized frequency.
Why is FCM-P excluded?
FCM-P is a separate Contents item on pages 17-18 and has its own current catalog series field, so its models are not included on this page.
