5 Installation
5.1 Safety Instructions
See 2.3 Safety Precautions for general safety instructions.
W A R N I N G
INDUCED VOLTAGE
Induced voltage from output motor cables that run together can charge equipment capacitors, even with the equipment turned
off and locked out. Failure to run output motor cables separately or to use shielded cables could result in death or serious injury.
Run output motor cables separately.
Use shielded cables.
W A R N I N G
UNINTENDED START
When the soft starter is connected to AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing, the motor can start at any time. Unintended start
during programming, service, or repair work can result in death, serious injury or property damage. The motor can start with an
external switch, a fieldbus command, an input reference signal from the LCP, or after a cleared fault condition.
Press [Off/Reset] on the LCP before programming parameters.
Disconnect the soft starter from the mains.
Completely wire and assemble the soft starter, motor, and any driven equipment before connecting the soft starter to AC
mains, DC supply, or load sharing.
Fit the power supply to the soft starter with an isolating switch and a circuit-breaking device (for example a power contactor)
controllable through an external safety system (for example an emergency stop or a fault detector).
5.2 Command Source
Start and stop the soft starter via the digital inputs, remote LCP 601, communication network, smart card, or scheduled auto-start/
stop. Set up the command source via Set-up Tools or via parameter 1-1 Command Source.
If the remote LCP is installed, the [CMD/Menu] key provides shortcut access to the Command Source function in Setup Tools.
5.3 Setting up the Soft Starter
Procedure
Mount the soft starter, see
3.7 Physical Installation/Cooling Clearances.
Connect control wiring, see 5.4.1 Input Terminals.
Apply control voltage to the soft starter.
Configure the application (listed in the Quick Set-up):
Press [Menu].
Press [Menu/Store] to open the Quick Set-up menu.
Scroll through the list to find the application.
Press [Menu/Store] to begin the configuration process, see 5.11 Quick Set-up.
Configure the application (not listed in the Quick Set-up):
Press [Back] to return to the Menu.
Press [▿] to scroll to the Main Menu and press [Menu/Store].
Scroll to Motor Details, press [Menu/Store] twice, and edit parameter 1-2 Motor Full Load Current.
Set parameter 1-2 Motor Full Load Current to match the motor full load current (FLC).
Press [Menu/Store] to save the setting.
Press [Back] repeatedly to close the Main Menu.
(Optional) Use the built-in simulation tools to check that the control wiring is connected correctly, see 6.5 Run Simulation.
Power off the soft starter.
Connect the motor cables to the soft starter output terminals 2/T1, 4/T2, 6/T3.
Connect mains supply cables to the soft starter input terminals 1/L1, 3/L2, 5/L3, see 5.7 Power Terminations.
