Customers may select lugs that are commercially available and suitable for use, from industry standard sources that meet the general specifications in the table below.
Control Wiring Inputs Control wiring is connected to the S611 by terminal blocks located at the front of the unit. Using the wiring diagrams below and on Pages 12–14, and table on Page 11 as guides, connect the control wiring as required for your application. Failure to follow this caution may result in severe damage to the controller.

Each diagram illustrates a typical wiring scheme for the options described. The additional components shown on the diagrams are not included, but may be purchased from Eaton. Mains power is not required to energize the control circuit of the S611. All protection and operation parameters may be adjusted using only control power.
See “Using Auxiliary Contacts” section if it is desired to use a relay instead of an indicating lamp for terminals 13, 14, 95, 96 and 98. If an isolation or reversing contactor is used upstream of the S611, Eaton recommends that the operator uses the level sensing option (default value) of the Start Control Parameter Code in the Advanced Parameters Menu.

It should be noted that a lightly loaded motor takes less torque, and thus lower voltage and time to accelerate to full speed. For this case the S611 will go into bypass before the ramp reaches full voltage. In other words, the S611 will go into bypass before the Soft Start Time has elapsed.
This mode is typically used when it is necessary to limit the maximum current during start-up due to line power limitations or other considerations. During a current limit start the S611 applies a constant voltage to the motor, resulting in limited current flowing through the motor’s windings.
Note: With level sensing control, if 120 Vac is lost or removed from the Permissive terminal at any time, When the S611 is in network control, it is ready to respond to the unit will initiate a stop in accordance with setup motor START control commands issued only through the parameter selections.

S611 Operating Configuration Introduction The S611 has a wide range of set points to enable coordinated motor and load protection. Commonly used set points are directly accessible through the user interface; advanced configuration of the device must be performed through the Advanced Config operation or over the network.

The Permissive and Network inputs must be energized (120 Vac) to enable starting of the soft starter from the network. After an overload trip, the S611 soft starter cannot be restarted until the prescribed cool-down time has elapsed. Cycling control power does not reset the timer. If 120 Vac power is removed, the soft starter will remember the remaining time and will resume the cool-down timing when power is again reapplied.

For troubleshooting purpose trips are recorded, as they occur, in the S611’s fault log. Apply the mains voltage and verify that no fault is present.

Not user settable Motor Stall The S611 monitors the maximum rms value of the three-phase currents. The unit will trip with a motor stall fault if the stall fault is enabled and the maximum rms value exceeds the trip threshold setting when the start time setting expires.
23.0 seconds SCR Overcurrent The SCR overcurrent trip is only active if the stall fault trip is disabled. The S611 monitors the maximum rms value of the three-phase currents. The unit will trip with an SCR overcurrent fault if the stall fault is disabled and the maximum rms value exceeds three times the FLA setting when the start time setting expires.
Advanced Conf—P.19 Current Imbalance The S611 monitors the current imbalance when the motor is running. The unit will trip with a motor phase imbalance fault if the current imbalance trip is enabled and the percent imbalance exceeds the trip threshold for the trip delay and the maximum current is greater than half the FLA setting.
S611 monitors the minimum rms voltage and issues an under voltage fault if the measured value drops below the threshold for the trip delay time. Note that the S611 will not generate an under voltage fault when the motor is starting.
Over Voltage The S611 monitors the maximum rms voltage and checks the value just prior to starting to determine if a fault shall be issued and the start will be terminated. When the bypass contactors are engaged, the S611 monitors the maximum rms voltage and issues a over voltage fault if the measured value exceeds the threshold for the trip delay time.
Power Losses The following table lists the maximum power loss for each S611 soft starter when it is operating in the across-the-line mode with its bypass contactor pulled in. These losses should be used in conjunction with the losses of another cabinet mounted device to determine the enclosure size and any cooling requirements.
