If there is any doubt, please contact Nidec or your local Distributor. Environmental Statement Nidec is committed to minimising the impacts of its manufacturing operations. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001.
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the starter. They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering. Digistart D2: User Guide Issue: F...
(e.g. a latching relay). 1.7.5 Short circuit The Digistart D2 is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the operation of the Digistart D2 should be fully tested by an authorised service agent. Digistart D2: User Guide...

Soft starters may be mounted side by side with no clearance (that is, if mounted without communications modules). The soft starter may be mounted on its side. Derate the soft starter's rated current by 15%. Digistart D2: User Guide Issue: F...
Always follow the specified tightening torque for all power and ground terminal connections. All Digistart D2 starters include an internal bypass relay that bypasses the soft starter SCRs during run. This allows the Digistart D2 to be installed in a non-ventilated enclosure without an external bypass contactor.

This relay is normally open. Trip: The relay closes when the Digistart D2 trips. The relay can be used to operate the shunt-trip mechanism of an upstream circuit breaker (in order to isolate the motor branch circuit), or to signal the trip to an automation system or externally.

Auxiliary relay function and phase sequence are configured using a shared switch. Set the auxiliary relay function as required, then set phase sequence protection. • Digistart D2 auxiliary relay and phase sequence protection examples Relay action: After a start command, the relay will operate when the soft start is COM1, RLO1 Trip complete.

(open CSL to DI1, DI2). • In two wire control, if the Digistart D2 tripped with no start signal present (eg Digistart D2 motor thermistor trip), apply then remove the start signal (close then reopen CSL to DI1, DI2). The Reset button is located on the front of the unit, above the adjustment switches.
The Digistart D2 includes the following types of protection for the motor and starter: 6.4.1 Excess Start Time Protection The Digistart D2 will trip on excess start time if the motor does not successfully start within the time selected in the Excess Start Time setting. This may indicate that the load has stalled.
