Page 53: Stop Methods
VersiStart p III Stop Methods Coast to Stop Coast to stop lets the motor slow at its natural rate, with no control from the soft starter. The time required to stop will depend on the type of load. TVR Soft Stop Timed voltage ramp reduces the voltage to the motor gradually over a defined time. - Page 54 VersiStart p III Adaptive Control is ideal for pumping applications, where it can minimise the damaging effects of fluid hammer. We recommend testing the three profiles to identify the best profile for the application. Adaptive Stop Profile Application Late Deceleration High head systems where even a small decrease in motor/pump speed results in a rapid transition between forward flow and reverse flow.
- Page 55 VersiStart p III Parameter settings: · Parameter 2I Stop Mode: set to 'DC Brake'. · Parameter 2J Stop Time: This is the total braking time (1) and must be set sufficiently longer than the brake time (parameter 2P) to allow the pre- braking stage to reduce motor speed to approximately 70%.
- Page 56 VersiStart p III Soft Brake For applications with high inertia and/or a variable load requiring the maximum possible braking torque, the VersiStart p III can be configured for soft braking. The VersiStart p III uses a changeover relay to control forward run and braking contactors.

VersiStart p III Troubleshooting 12.1 Protection Responses When a protection condition is detected, the VersiStart p III will write this to the event log and may also trip or issue a warning. The soft starter's response depends on the Protection Action setting (parameter group 6). Some protection responses cannot be adjusted by the user. - Page 99 VersiStart p III Display Possible cause/Suggested solution Current Current imbalance can be caused by problems with the motor, imbalance the environment or the installation, such as: · An imbalance in the incoming mains voltage · A problem with the motor windings ·...
- Page 100 VersiStart p III Display Possible cause/Suggested solution Flow Switch The flow switch sensor (smart card terminals C23, C24) has closed. Related parameters: 6U, 12G Frequency This trip is not adjustable. The mains frequency has gone beyond the specified range. Check for other equipment in the area that could be affecting the mains supply, particularly variable speed drives and switch mode power supplies (SMPS).

If a remote keypad is installed, check the cable is firmly connected to the soft starter. If no remote keypad is installed, change the setting of parameter Related parameters: 1A L1 phase loss...
- Page 102 VersiStart p III Display Possible cause/Suggested solution Motor overload 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 or start duration ·...
- Page 103 VersiStart p III Display Possible cause/Suggested solution · The reset input may be active. If the reset input is active, the Not ready starter will not operate. · The soft starter may be waiting for the restart delay to elapse. The length of the restart delay is controlled by parameter 5H Restart Delay.
