Soft starter Caution statements Caution statements WARNING – ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD The equipment contains dangerous voltages when connected to mains voltage. Only a qualified electrician should carry out the electrical installation. Improper installation of the motor or the soft starter may cause equipment failure, serious injury or death. Follow this manual and local electrical safety codes.
Identifying the serial number and version number Soft starter Identifying the serial number and version number Unit serial number and version The soft starter's serial number can be identified from the silver label on the starter. The soft starter version number is the last two digits of the first part of the serial number (xxxxVV-xxx). -0105B-V5-C1-H Serial number S/N: 123456-789...
Soft starter Diagnostics Diagnostics NOTE The basic model controls the current across 1/L1-2/T1 and 5/L3-6/T3. When taking measurements across each phase, do not measure 3/L2-4/T2. NOTE Before changing any parameter settings, save the current parameter set to a file using WinMaster or the soft starter's Save User Set function (see the soft starter user manual for more information).
Diagnostics Soft starter Run Simulation Test The run simulation simulates a motor starting, running and stopping, and can help identify faults within the soft starter. • If the starter does not respond to commands correctly, the user interface board may be faulty. •...
Soft starter Diagnostics Start/Run Performance Test This procedure tests that the starter operates correctly during a soft start. Connect the starter to mains voltage, control voltage and to a motor. Set parameter 1B Motor Full Load Current to match the motor. Set parameter 2A Start Mode to 'Constant Current'.
Troubleshooting Soft starter Troubleshooting Trip messages Display Possible cause/Suggested solution 2 Phase - Damaged This message is displayed if the soft starter tripped on “Lx-Tx shorted” during the pre-start checks and PowerThrough is enabled. It indicates that the starter now operates in PowerThough mode (2-phase control only).

Soft starter Firmware updates Firmware updates Overview The soft starter has two sets of operating firmware, run from microcontrollers on the motor control board and the user interface board. NOTE Boards sent as spare parts are not loaded with firmware. After replacing the motor control board and/or user interface board, firmware must be loaded into the starter.
Page 22
Firmware updates Soft starter Insert the memory stick into the starter's USB port. The starter will automatically load the new firmware. When the firmware has successfully loaded and verified, the starter will display a confirmation. Remove the memory stick. The starter will briefly display the message "Loading Language", followed by the welcome screen.
Soft starter Firmware updates Reusing boards from other starters If you reuse a board that has previously been installed in another starter, you should update the firmware. Model name, model rating, serial number, parameter defaults The model rating is an internal reference, stored on both the motor control board and the user interface board.
Spare parts Soft starter Spare parts NOTE Unless otherwise indicated, spare part kits contain only one of each item. All images in this section are indicative. Enclosure Opening Tools When dis-assembling the soft starter to perform repairs, use the recommended tools to open the enclosure.
Soft starter Spare parts User interface board NOTE Boards sent as spare parts are not loaded with firmware. After replacing the motor control board and/or user interface board, firmware must be loaded into the starter. Each soft starter requires one user interface board. Different spare parts are required for C1 and C2 (mains or 24 V control voltage) models.
