10:4 Initial voltage
Path in menu:
Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/
Start/Stop / Init Volt
This parameter makes it possible to set the voltage level where the start ramp begins. If the
initial voltage is set too low, it will cause unneccessary long starting times and unnecessary
heating of the motor.

10:5 End voltage
Path in menu:
Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/
Start/Stop / End Volt
This parameter makes it possible to set the voltage level where the stop ramp ends. This
function will be active only if parameter Stop ramp is used.

End Volt 30% 30...70%
Initial voltage for Stop
Ramp
10:6 Step down voltage
Path in menu:
Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/
Start/Stop / Step Down
When stopping a motor using the stop ramp, the speed will not decrease immediately. The
step down voltage function makes it possible to set a level where the motor speed decreas-
es as soon as the stop ramp begins. By using, a more optimized stopping of the motor is
achieved. It is mainly used for pump applications.

10:7 Current limit
Path in menu:
Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/
Start/Stop / Current Lim
It is possible to limit the starting current by using this function. When the current limit is
reached, the output voltage stays stable until the current level falls below the limit, then the
ramping continues.
Information!
The starting current must be high enough to make it possible for the motor to reach the rated speed. The
lowest possible current depends on the performance of the motor and the characteristics of the load.
