For further information see Technical Specification Warnings • Internal components and P.C.B’s are at main potential when the HRVS-DN is connected to main voltage. This voltage is extremely dangerous and will cause death or severe injury if contacted. • When HRVS-DN is connected to the main voltage, even if control voltage is disconnected and motors is stopped, full voltage may appear on starter’s output and motor’s...

To incorporate soft stop, use Run contact off delay to “Hold” the Line Contactor. This system is used mainly when the HRVS-DN is retrofitted into an existing system, thus, reducing modifications in existing installations. Main power and Start signal are switched on upon closure of the series contactor. The starter will operate as long as the series contactor is closed.
Wiring Diagrams – Diesel Generator FOR STARTING FROM GENERATOR ALWAYS TRY START CURVE 0 FIRST! When starting from a Diesel – Generator, the voltage regulator (especially older type regulators) may be affected during the starting process and cause a rapid voltage fluctuations. In these rare cases, the voltage regulator must be upgraded –...
Disconnect control supply, so the new information will be loaded on the next time you turn it on. • Connect a communication line (twisted shield pair) with its (+) to HRVS-DN terminal 24 and (-) to terminal 23, on MODBUS, connect the other end to your host computer containing RS-485 communication port with MODBUS protocol.
