The LOCAL/REMOTE button controls whether the VersiStart i III will respond to local control (via the keypad) or remote control (via the remote inputs). The VersiStart i III can also be set to allow local control only or remote control only, using parameter 6A Local/Remote. - Page 33 Time 8.5.3 Adaptive Control for Starting In an adaptive control soft start, the VersiStart i III adjusts the current in order to start the motor within a specified time and using a selected acceleration profile. CAUTION Adaptive Control cannot start the motor faster than a direct on-line (DOL) start. If the start ramp time (parameter 2D) is shorter than the motor's DOL start time, starting current may reach DOL levels.
- Page 34 If the motor does not start or stop smoothly, adjust the adaptive control gain (parameter 2L). The gain setting determines how much the VersiStart i III will adjust future adaptive control starts and stops, based on information from the previous start. The gain setting affects both starting and stopping performance.
-
Page 35: Stop Methods
Adaptive Control for Stopping In an adaptive control soft stop, the VersiStart i III controls the current in order to stop the motor within a specified time and using a selected deceleration profile. Adaptive Control can be useful in extending the stopping time of low inertia loads. - Page 36 The first Adaptive Control stop will be a normal soft stop. This allows the VersiStart i III to learn the characteristics of the connected motor. This motor data is used by the VersiStart i III during subsequent Adaptive Control stops.

Page 59: Application Examples
Installation with Main Contactor The VersiStart i III is installed with a main contactor (AC3 rated). Control voltage must be supplied from the input side of the contactor. The main contactor is controlled by the VersiStart i III Main Contactor output, which by default is assigned to Output Relay A (terminals 13, 14). -
Page 60: Installation With Bypass Contactor
Installation with Bypass Contactor The VersiStart i III is installed with a bypass contactor (AC1 rated). The bypass contactor is controlled by the VersiStart i III Run Output which by default is assigned to Output Relay B (terminals 21, 22, 24). -
Page 61: Emergency Run Operation
In normal operation the VersiStart i III is controlled via a remote two-wire signal (terminals 56, 57). Emergency Run is controlled by a two-wire circuit connected to Input A (terminals 53, 55). Closing Input A causes the VersiStart i III to run the motor and ignore certain trip conditions. -
Page 62: Auxiliary Trip Circuit
Auxiliary Trip Circuit In normal operation the VersiStart i III is controlled via a remote two-wire signal (terminals 56, 57). Input A (terminals 53, 55) is connected to an external trip circuit (such as a low pressure alarm switch for a pumping system). When the external circuit activates, the soft starter trips, which stops the motor. -
Page 63: Dc Brake With External Zero Speed Sensor
For loads which may vary between braking cycles, there are benefits in using an external zero-speed sensor to interface with the VersiStart i III for brake shut-off. This control method ensures that the VersiStart i III braking will always shut off when the motor has reached a standstill, thus avoiding unnecessary motor heating. -
Page 64: Soft Braking
For applications with high inertia and/or a variable load, the VersiStart i III can be configured for soft braking. In this application the VersiStart i III is employed with forward run and braking contactors. When the VersiStart i III receives a start signal (pushbutton S1), it closes the forward run contactor (K1) and controls the motor according to the programmed primary motor settings. -
Page 65: Two Speed Motor
When the soft starter receives a low speed start signal, it closes the low speed contactor (K2). This closes Input A and the VersiStart i III controls the motor according to the secondary motor settings. -
Page 66: Troubleshooting
Protection Responses When a protection condition is detected, the VersiStart i 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 16). - Page 67 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 the VersiStart i III is connected to a generator set supply, the generator may be too small or could have a speed regulation problem.
- Page 68 Related parameters: None Time-overcurrent The VersiStart i III is internally bypassed and has drawn high current during running. (The 10A protection curve trip has been reached or the motor current has risen to 600% of the motor FLC setting.) Related parameters: None Undercurrent The motor has experienced a sharp drop in current, caused by loss of load.

13.2 Remote Control Panel (RCP) A remote mounted keypad can be installed with the VersiStart i III. The keypad can be mounted up to 3 metres away from the starter, for control and monitoring. The starter can be controlled and programmed from either the remote keypad or the keypad on the starter. -
Page 72: Busbar Adjustment Procedure
VersiStart i III Busbar Adjustment Procedure The busbars on non-bypassed models VS i III 360N ~ VS i III 1600N can be adjusted for top or bottom input and output as required. NOTE Many electronic components are sensitive to static electricity. Voltages so low that they cannot be felt, seen or heard, can reduce the life, affect performance, or completely destroy sensitive electronic components. - Page 73 VersiStart i III NOTE If moving the input busbars, the current transformers (CTs) must also be reconfigured. Label the CTs L1, L2 and L3 (L1 is leftmost when looking from the front of the starter). Remove the cable ties and unscrew the CTs from the bracket.
