This model SureStart® functions only as a soft starter, a contactor is still required. This model can be suitable for a wide range of applications. Some
degree of care is needed to determine the correct wiring.
Caution& Warning:
1
All voltage to equipment MUST be disconnected before removing any devices.
2
Allow 2 minutes to discharge run capacitor before disconnecting.
3
Do not swap the Run & Start Windings.
4
Prior to installation, be sure all start capacitors & start relays, along with hard-starters and/or any other start-assist devices, are removed.
5
The start capacitor is built into the soft starter.
