ASTAT XL Service Manual
Possible cause/Suggested solution
During pre-start checks the starter has detected a shorted SCR or a short
within the bypass contactor as indicated. If the starter is connected in-line
with the motor, consider using PowerThrough to allow operation until the
starter can be repaired.
NOTE
PowerThrough is only available with in-line installations. If the
starter is installed inside delta, PowerThrough will not operate.
The starter will trip on Lx-Tx Shorted on the first start attempt after
control power is applied. PowerThrough will not operate if control
power is cycled between starts.

The ASTAT XL has detected a drop in the control voltage.
• Check the external control supply (terminals A4, A5, A6) and reset the
starter.
If the external control supply is stable:
• the 24 V supply on the main control PCB may be faulty; or
• the bypass driver PCB may be faulty (internally bypassed models only).
Contact your local supplier for advice.
This protection is not active in Ready state.

The motor has reached its maximum thermal capacity. Overload can be
caused by:
• The soft starter protection settings not matching the motor thermal
capacity
• Excessive starts per hour
• Excessive throughput
•
Damage to the motor windings
Resolve the cause of the overload and allow the motor to cool.

Where 'X' is 1, 2 or 3.
The motor is not connected correctly to the soft starter for in-line or inside
delta use.
•
Check individual motor connections to the soft starter for power circuit
continuity.
• Check connections at the motor terminal box.
This trip is not adjustable.

The motor thermistor input has been enabled and:
• The resistance at the thermistor input has exceeded 3.6 kΩ for more than
one second.
• The motor winding has overheated. Identify the cause of the overheating
and allow the motor to cool before restarting.
•
The motor thermistor input has been opened.
NOTE
If a valid motor thermistor is no longer used, a 1.2 kΩ resistor must
be fitted across terminals 64, 65.

The network master has sent a trip command to the starter, or there may be a
network communication problem.
Check the network for causes of communication inactivity.
