5.6.4 Kick Start Mode
Kick Start applies a pulse of voltage to the motor producing a momentary
“kick” of high torque to break the motor load free from high friction or
frozen components. This pulse is limited to 2 seconds.
F022 = Kick Start Voltage
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 10 - 100%
When F022 ≠ 0, a voltage “pulse” is applied before the initial
torque setting of F011 (or F012 if Current Ramp). This sets the
voltage level and the duration of the pulse is set by F023. This
setting should be higher than F011 (except for Dwell Starting,
see below) and high enough to provide a benefit in the worst
starting condition.
F023 = Kick Time
Factory Setting = 0.8 seconds
Range = 0.1 - 2 seconds
Sets the duration of time the Kick Start voltage is applied.
 5.6.4.a “Dwell” operation using Kick Start
In some applications such as chain drive machinery, the Kick Start
feature can be used to slowly take up slack in the drive chain before
applying full torque. This is referred to as “Dwell Starting” because
the torque output stays low for a short time. To take advantage of
this feature, simply set the Kick Start to the same level as the Initial
Torque setting. This will only work in Voltage Ramp mode.
 Note:
Do not use the Kick Start feature unless you determine that you need
it. Using this feature may eliminate many of the mechanical and
electrical benefits of using a Soft Starter.
