It mounts inside the drive's floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows or the compact version, giving the operator a local current readout without opening the panel door. ## What the compatibility range tells you The accessory/destination field narrows fitment to Altivar floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or the compact version. That means it is not a panel-mount meter you can retrofit into any enclosure — it is designed for the specific cutout, bezel, and wiring harness of those Altivar cabinets. If your drive is a standard IP20 Altivar 71 or 61 (not the Plus floor-standing variant), this ammeter will not physically match the door or the internal connector.","metaTitle":"VW3AE0404 Ammeter for Altivar 71 Plus, Obsolete","metaDescription":"VW3AE0404 ammeter for Altivar 71 Plus & 61 Plus floor-standing enclosures.
