IMPORTANT – Read this first !! ® Read all operating instructions before installing, wiring, operating, servicing or inspecting the Smartstart Ensure that the instruction manual is made available to the final user of the product as well as all personnel involved in any aspect of installation, adjustment or maintenance.
Introduction Receiving: ® Inspect the Smartstart for any shipping damage. If any damage is found, report it to the carrier immediately. Remove cover of starter and visually check for damage. ® Do not attempt to operate the Smartstart if any obvious damage exists or suspect damage has occurred.
6000 Zener ‘SMART-TORQ ’ Torque Control Feature Basic Soft Starter Operation ® The Zener Smartstart 6000 incorporates a closed loop ® The Zener Smartstart is a reduced voltage controller torque control system to provide better control over designed for starting standard 3 Phase induction motors.
Installation - Mechanical Mechanical Installation Heat Dissipation ® ® The Smartstart should be installed by qualified The Smartstart is cooled by temperature controlled electrical personnel only. The following should be internal fans. Installing a bypass contactor will reduce considered when installing the Smartstart. the heat dissipated and the ventilation required.
Installation - Power Wiring Power Wiring Motor Protection: The Zener SS6000 is installed between the mains The Smartstart 6000 provides advanced motor and cable to the motor. If a mains or isolation protection with user selectable overload classes, contactor is used it is best controlled by the SS6000 over &...
