MEASUREMENT & MONITORING FISCHER FREEDOM ™ SERIES EASY MATING | EASY CLEANING | EASY INTEGRATION Fischer Freedom ™ is rugged – tested and proven The multiple award-winning Fischer LP360™ 7-pin connector in metal is innovative AND reliable: it has undergone stringent and thorough testing and qualification. Fischer Connectors’ solutions are recognized worldwide for their ruggedness and durability. For the first time, discover some of the mechanical and environmental tests that products undergo to prove their compliance with the highest reliability and quality standards through 8 short videos. These videos describe the testing processes conducted in our laboratory, as well as two demonstrations carried out “in the field”. The videos include six standard tests conducted on the Fischer LP360™ 7-pin connector (the first product in the Fischer Freedom™ Series) in the testing laboratory of Fischer Connectors’ headquarters in Saint-Prex, Switzerland. In two field applications, we also show how the connector behaves in water and how easily its plug and receptacle can be cleaned.
