Page 19: Control Voltage
4.4.2 Analog Output The ASA 4.0 Advanced has an analog output, which can be connected to associated equipment to monitor motor performance. The operation of the analog output is controlled by parameters 9A~9D. 4.4.3 Main Contactor Output The main contactor output (33, 34) closes as soon as the soft starter receives a start command and remains closed while the soft starter is controlling the motor (until the motor starts a coast to stop, or until the end of a soft stop). -
Page 20: Power Terminations
4.5.2 UL Compliant Installation For models ASA4.0-A 0184B to ASA4.0-A 0580B to be UL compliant, supplementary or branch overcurrent protection must be used on the control circuit supply (A1, A2, A3), in accordance with the electrical code applicable at the installation location. Power Terminations NOTE Some units use aluminium busbars. - Page 21 4.6.2 Motor Connection The ASA 4.0 Advanced can be connected to the motor in-line or inside delta (also called three-wire and six-wire connection). When connecting in inside delta, enter the motor full load current (FLC) for parameter 1B. The ASA 4.0 Advanced will automatically detect whether the motor is connected in-line or inside delta and will calculate the correct inside delta current level.

Page 37: Stop Methods
Stop Methods 8.9.1 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. 8.9.2 Timed Voltage Ramp Soft Stop Timed voltage ramp stopping reduces the voltage to the motor gradually over a defined time. - Page 38 8.9.4 DC Brake Brake reduces the time required to stop the motor. During braking an increased noise level from the motor may be audible. This is a normal part of motor braking. CAUTION When using DC brake, the mains supply must be connected to the soft starter (input terminals L1, L2, L3) in positive phase sequence.

Page 71: Application Examples
Application Examples 10.1 Smart Card - Pump Control and Protection The ASA 4.0 Advanced smart card is ideal for applications with extensive external inputs, such as pumping situations where external sensors provide additional protection to the pump and motor. In this example, the ASA 4.0 Advanced controls a bore pump via scheduled start/stop operation. The control panel is fitted with a three-way selector switch allowing Auto Run, Stop or Manual Run. -
Page 72: Smart Card - Level Controlled Pump Activation
10.2 Smart Card - Level Controlled Pump Activation The ASA 4.0 Advanced smart card can be used to control start/stop activation of the starter, based on information from external inputs. In this example, the ASA 4.0 Advanced controls a pump which fills a tank, with maximum and minimum water levels. A pressure sensor is used to monitor the level of water in the tank and trigger the pump to fill the tank when water drops below the minimum level, and shut off the pump when the maximum water level is reached. -
Page 73: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting 11.1 Protection Responses When a protection condition is detected, the ASA 4.0 Advanced 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 74 Display Possible cause/Suggested solution This trip is not adjustable. Frequency 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 the ASA 4.0 Advanced is connected to a generator set supply, the generator may be too small or could have a speed regulation problem.
- Page 75 Display Possible cause/Suggested solution This trip is not adjustable. Motor connection The motor is not connected correctly to the soft starter. Motor Connection T1 Check individual motor connections to the soft starter for power circuit continuity. • Motor Connection T2 Check connections at the motor terminal box.

Page 76: General Faults
Display Possible cause/Suggested solution The ASA 4.0 Advanced is operating beyond its safe capacity. Allow the starter to cool. Rating Capacity Related parameters: None The smart card has detected a fault with the RTD sensor, or the RTD has activated temperature RTD Circuit protection. - Page 77 Symptom Probable Cause The soft starter does not respond to a start The soft starter may be waiting for the restart delay to elapse. The length of the restart • command from either the keypad or the delay is controlled by parameter 5P Restart Delay. digital inputs.
