5/58
2Caution Statements
Caution Statements cannot cover every potential cause of equipment damage but can highlight common causes of damage. It is the
installer's responsibility to read and understand all instructions in this manual prior to installing, operating or maintaining the equipment,
to follow good electrical practice including applying appropriate personal protective equipment and to seek advice before operating this
equipment in a manner other than as described in this manual.
NOTE
The ASA 4.0 Basic is not user serviceable. The unit should only be serviced by authorised service personnel.
Unauthorised tampering with the unitwill void theproductwarranty.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
The STOP function of the soft starter does not isolate dangerous voltages from the output of the starter. The soft starter
must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before accessing electrical connections.
Soft starter protection features apply to motor protection only. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safety of personnel
operating machinery.
The soft starter is a component designed for integration within an electrical system; it is therefore the responsibility of the
system designer/user to ensure the system is safe and designed to comply with relevant local safety standards.
2.1 Electrical shock risk
WARNING – ELECTRICAL SHOCK RISK
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may be lethal:
AC supply cables and connections
Output cables and connections
Many internal parts of the starter
SHORT CIRCUIT
The ASA 4.0 Basic is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the operation of the ASA 4.0 Basic should
be fully tested by an authorised service agent.
GROUNDING AND BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTION
It is the responsibility of the user or person installing the ASA 4.0 Basic to provide proper grounding and branch circuit
protection according to local electrical safety codes.
2.2 Unexpected Operation
WARNING – ACCIDENTAL STARTS
In some installations, accidental starts may pose an increased risk to safety of personnel or damage to the machines being
driven. In such cases, it is recommended that the power supply to the soft starter is fitted with an isolating switch and a
circuit-breaking device (eg power contactor) controllable through an external safety system (eg emergency stop, fault
detector).
WARNING – STARTER MAY START OR STOP UNEXPECTEDLY
The ASA 4.0 Basic will respond to control commands from various sources, and could start or stop unexpectedly. Always
disconnect the soft starter from mains voltage before accessing the starter or load.
WARNING – DISCONNECT MAINS BEFORE ACCESSING STARTER OR LOAD
The soft starter has built-in protections which can trip the starter in the event of faults and thus stop the motor. Voltage
fluctuations, power cuts and motor jams may also cause the motor to trip.
The motor could restart after the causes of shutdown are rectified, which may be dangerous for personnel. Always
disconnect the soft starter from mains voltage before accessing the starter or load.
CAUTION – MECHANICAL DAMAGE FROM UNEXPECTED RESTART
The motor could restart after the causes of shutdown are rectified, which may be dangerous for certain machines or
installations. In such cases, it is essential that appropriate arrangements are made against restarting after unscheduled stops
of the motor.

2.3 Avertissements à l'attention des clients canadiens
AVERTISSEMENT
L'icône AVERTISSEMENT ci-contre signale les informations concernant des risques pouvant entraîner des blessures
graves, voire mortelles. Pour votre sécurité, veuillez consulter les avertissements sur cette page ou demander une copie du
présent manuel en français auprès de votre distributeur local.
AVERTISSEMENT – RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE
Les zones suivantes sont soumises à des tensions pouvant provoquer des risques de chocs électriques graves, voire
mortels :
Raccordement et câbles d'alimentation AC
Câbles et raccordements de sortie
De nombreuses pièces internes du démarreur
PAR SÉCURITÉ
La fonction STOP du démarreur progressif n'isole pas des tensions dangereuses de la sortie du démarreur. Le
démarreur progressif doit être déconnecté par un dispositif d'isolement électrique approprié avant d'accéder aux
connexions électriques.
Les fonctions de protection du démarreur progressif ne concernent que la protection du moteur. Il relève de la
responsabilité de l'utilisateur d'assurer la sécurité des personnes travaillant sur les machines.
Le démarreur progressif est un appareil conçu pour s'intégrer dans un système électrique ; il relève donc de la
responsabilité du concepteur ou de l'utilisateur de veiller à ce que ce système soit sûr et conçu selon les normes de
sécurité locales en vigueur.
AVERTISSEMENT – DÉMARRAGES ACCIDENTELS
Dans certaines installations, des démarrages accidentels peuvent provoquer un risque supplémentaire pour la sécurité des
personnes ou endommager les machines contrôlées. Dans de tels cas, il est recommandé de doter l'alimentation du
démarreur progressif d'un interrupteur d'isolement et d'un coupe-circuit (par exemple, un disjoncteur) contrôlable à partir d'un
système de sécurité externe (par exemple, un arrêt d'urgence, un détecteur de défaut).
AVERTISSEMENT – LE DÉMARREUR PEUT DÉMARRER OU S'ARRÊTER À TOUT MOMENT
Le démarreur progressif répond aux commandes de contrôle de différentes origines et peut par conséquent démarrer ou
s'arrêter à tout moment. Toujours déconnecter le démarreur de la tension secteur avant d'accéder au démarreur ou à la
charge.
AVERTISSEMENT – DÉCONNECTER L'ALIMENTATION PRINCIPALE AVANT D'ACCÉDER AU DÉMARREUR OU À LA
CHARGE
Le démarreur progressif comporte des protections intégrées qui peuvent déclencher des mises en sécurité dans l'éventualité
de défauts et ainsi arrêter le moteur. Des fluctuations de tension, des coupures d'alimentation et des blocages du moteur
peuvent produire des mises en sécurité de celui-ci.
Le moteur pourrait redémarrer une fois que les causes de l'arrêt ont été résolues, ce qui pourrait mettre en danger le
personnel. Toujours déconnecter le démarreur de la tension secteur avant d'accéder au démarreur ou à la charge.
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne pas appliquer la tension du secteur au démarreur tant que tout le câblage n'est pas terminé.
AVERTISSEMENT
Toujours appliquer la tension de commande avant (ou en même temps que) la tension secteur.
AVERTISSEMENT
Si l'entrée de démarrage est fermée lorsque la tension de commande est appliquée, le démarreur tentera d'effectuer un
démarrage.
Vérifier que l'entrée de démarrage/arrêt est ouverte avant d'appliquer la tension de commande..

3.3 Model Selection
3.3.1 Starter sizing
The soft starter must be the correct size for the motor and the application.
Select a soft starter that has a current rating at least equal to the motor's full load current (nameplate) rating, at the start duty.
The soft starter's current rating determines the maximum motor size it can be used with. The soft starter's rating depends on the number
of starts per hour, the length and current level of the start, and the amount of time the soft starter will be off (not passing current)
between starts.
The soft starter's current rating is only valid when used in the conditions specified in the AC53b code - the soft starter may have a higher
or lower current rating in different operating conditions.

3.7.5 Soft Starter Management Software
PC software can provide real-time or offline management of soft starters.
•For real-time management in a network of up to 254 starters, the software must connect to the soft starter via a Modbus TCP
or Modbus RTU card. The software can monitor, control and program the starter across the network.
•The software can be used to program the starter via the USB port on the pumping smart card.
•For offline management, a configuration file generated in the software can be loaded into the starter via the USB port.
3.8 Main contactor or circuit breaker
A main contactor or circuit breaker should be installed with the soft starter.
•A main contactor is recommended to protect the soft starter from voltage disturbances on the network, while stopped. Select
a contactor with an AC3 rating greater than or equal to the full load current rating of the connected motor.
•Use a shunt trip circuit breaker to isolate the motor circuit in the event of a soft starter trip. The shunt trip mechanism must be
powered from the supply side of the circuit breaker or from a separate control supply.
Use the main contactor output (33, 34) to control the main contactor.
3.9 Power Factor Correction
If power factor correction is used, a dedicated contactor should be used to switch in the capacitors.
To use the ASA 4.0 Basic to control power factor correction, connect the PFC contactor to a programmable relay set to Run. When the
motor reaches full speed, the relay will close and power factor correction will be switched in. Do not use the soft starter relay output to
directly switch in power factor correction.

CAUTION
Power factor correction capacitors must be connected to the input side of the soft starter. Connecting power factor correction
capacitors to the output side will damage the soft starter.
3.10 Short Circuit Protection Devices (SCPD)
Fuses may be installed to protect the soft starter or the installation.
3.10.1 Type 1 Coordination
Type 1 coordination requires that, in the event of a short circuit on the output side of a soft starter, the fault must be cleared without risk
of injury to personnel. There is no requirement that the soft starter must remain operational after the fault.
HRC fuses (such as Ferraz/Mersen AJT fuses) can be used for Type 1 coordination according to IEC 60947-4-2 standard.
3.10.2 Type 2 Coordination
Type 2 coordination requires that in the event of a short circuit on the output side of a soft starter, the fault must be cleared without risk
of injury to personnel or damage to the soft starter.
Semiconductor fuses for Type 2 circuit protection are additional to HRC fuses or MCCBs that form part of the motor branch circuit
protection.
