Power-up the soft starter

On power-up, the soft starter will be in IDLE mode. The user will be presented with HMI LEDs that indicates that the power is
present and the supply phase is detected.
Power LED
When 24V power is present this LED will flash at a frequency of 0.5 Hz. When Modbus RTU communication has been
established and the soft starter is under Modbus control this LED will flash at 1 Hz.

If the Phase LED is flashing the indication is that the phase rotation of the 3-phase grid connection to the soft starter is incorrect.
Switch off the grid voltage and swap the incoming phases.
The Mode LED should be off at this stage, indicating that the soft starter is in IDLE mode. The operational modes of the
MEsoftstart/I core model is illustrated in the Figure 30 below:
