– Never touch live parts or cable connections of the Variable Speed Starter after it has been disconnected from the power supply. Due to the charge in the capacitors, these parts may still be alive after disconnec- tion. Consider appropriate warning signs. AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 3...

After removal of the START command (FWD or REV). In case the motor ramps to stop (P-05 = 1 = Default) the contact opens at speed zero. Ramp times set to 5 s. AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 5...
Variable Speed Starter is enabled. If necessary, these functions can also be disabled. The Variable Speed Starter itself is still protected in this case but trips may occur. AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 6...
This function results in a short time delay between start signal and start of the motor. This function is not activated in default. If DC braking is required, the function can be activated. See further down in this Quick- Start-Guide AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 7...

It can be plugged and unplugged when live. The module is not necessary to oper- ate DE1 after a parameter change. It can be removed after use. The settings are “stored mechanically” by the position of the switches and potentiometers. AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 9...

For that reason, a reinforced insulation between the thermis- tors and the motor windings is required not to weaken the overall insulation system of the PDS (Power Drive System). AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 11...
Direction of rotation selected with DIR. L = Forward, H = Reverse ATTENTION: in this configuration a wire break at H-Signal (REV) leads to a reversion of the di- rection of rotation of the motor. AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 12...
It is also possible to connect a thermistor to terminal 3. Details see “motor protection”. Mode 2 Fixed frequencies (1) 2 directions (FWD/REV) Selection of fixed frequencies via binary coded in- puts (FF2 / FF2 AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 13...

In case access to additional parameters is needed, this can be achieved by using: the optional keypad DX-KEY-LED (V1.2 and above) the parameter software DrivesConnect. Free Download: http://www.drive-support-studio.com/OTS/Eaton/downloads/deploy/drivesConnect.htm the communication system SmartWire DT in connection with the option module DX-NET-SWD3 Modbus RTU The Variable Speed Starter can be accessed via the RJ45 socket on front of the device.
The number of restart attempts is counted and if DE1 doesn’t restart, it trips after the final attempt. In this case reset has to be done manually. The counter of attempts can only be reset by removing the power from the DE1 device. AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 18...
Terminal 1 is used as hardware enable and requires a High signal to operate DE1 via SmartWire. For additional changes of the terminal configuration compared to the settings in default and for additional operating modes see manual MN040011EN. AP040092EN _DE1 Quick-Start-Guide www.eaton.eu Page 19...
