Section 1 General Information

Introduction	The Baldor digital three phase multipurpose soft–starter provides reduced voltage, three
	phase motor starting and control over the four periods of motor operation. First, at
	“Start–up” (soft–start), the motor starting voltage increases from an initial preset level to
	full motor voltage to provide smooth motor acceleration to full speed. Second, the “Dwell”
	period begins when maximum motor voltage is achieved. This dwell period allows time
	for the motor and load to stabilize. The third period is called “Motor run” (sometimes
	bypass is used during this portion of the cycle). The last period is “Stop” the motor can
	be stopped gradually by reducing the torque (useful in pump applications).
	Soft–start and soft–stop control provide an effective means to start and stop material
	handling equipment and pumping equipment to minimize spillage and water hammer
	problems. Selectable preset parameters for specific application allows simple
	programming.
	Several product features make this digital soft–start control easy to use:

S Selectable preset parameter settings for pumps, high inertia loads, conveyors and compressors.

S Auto features simplify adjustments for optimum starting.

S Energy savings through real time power factor monitoring.

S Smooth starts and stops for impact free machine operation.

S Familiar interface, 32 character LCD Display and Keypad.

S Simple parameter access through 4 level programming.

S Quick exit from programming by using the “#” (Exit) button.

S Operating Current, Voltage and Power Factor displays.

S Fault indication and Trip Log.

S Programmable inputs and outputs.
