Referring to the appropriate size of XFE, mount the XFE ensuring that correct clearances are maintained
for adequate ventilation and operation of the XFE.
2 Wiring Diagrams
Referring to the appropriate Wiring Diagram, install the XFE electrical connections ensuring that the correct
control supply voltage is used and is within its specified operating limits as described on the product
specification
ACCESS
Caution:Always replace the cover panelon the unit after gainingaccess
to the electricalconnections.
The unit requires two AC supplies:
A 3 phase balanced Mains Supply to provide the source of power for the controlled motor.
A single phase supply: 115V/230V, 50Hz/60Hz, for the internal control circuitry.
XFE 300 series need a separate 115V or 230V supply to power the fans.
Voltage must be specified prior to supply of the XFE.
IMPORTANT Ensure that the voltage selector switch position corresponds to
the control supply before you apply the control supply voltage.
115
230 select
ISOLATION
Caution: The XFE uses semiconductor devices in the main circuit and is not designed to provide
isolation. For this reason isolation means must be installed in the supply circuit in accordance with
the appropriate wiring and safety regulations.
The Mains Supply and the Control Supply each require protection. Although all units have electronic
overload protection, the installer should always place fuse protection between the unit and the Mains
Supply, not between the unit and the motor. Semiconductor fuses can be supplied for short circuit
protection of the semiconductors.
3 Keypad operation and basic set-up
Refer to this, for familiarisation with the keypad controls of the XFE. Use the illustration of the Basic Menu
structure to find XFE menu items on the display.
4 Set-up examples
Set-up basic XFE operating parameters, if necessary, by following one or all of the examples described
here.
5 Product information
Refer to product information for details of Design Standards and Approvals, operating and storage limits
and other installation instructions.

Enclosure Ventilation
When fitting the XFE into a cabinet, ventilation must
be provided if the heat output of the unit is greater
than the cabinet will dissipate.Use the following
formula to determine the fan requirement. An
allowance has been incorporated into the formula
so that the figure for “Q” is the air delivery quoted
in the fan suppliers data.
An approximation of the heat produced (Watts) by
the XFE, when in circuit, can be made by multiplying
the line current by three.
When the XFE is bypassed the heat output can be
approximated with the formula:-
Watts (soft starter) = Start current x start time in
seconds x number of starts per Hour / 800
Exact figures for unit full load current are in the XFE
manual.
Q = volume of air (cubic metres per hour - m3/h)
Wt = heat produced by the unit and all other heat
sources within the enclosure (Watts)
tmax = maximum permissible temperature within
the enclosure (40ºC for a fully rated XFE)
tamb = temperature of the air entering the
enclosure (ºC)
If you prefer to work in CFM, substitute ºF for ºC.
Q is now in CFM.
Q =
4 x Wt
( tmax - tamb )

3 Keypad operation and basic set-up
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE KEYPAD CABLE IS PLUGGED IN BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO THE UNIT
When wired as Fig 2.1,page 3, the XFE
display will indicate start up messages
followed by ‘Stopped and ready’. At this
point:
• the XFE will start the motor when
the keypad ‘START/STOP’ key is
pressed but not when the START
switch as shown in Fig.2.1 is closed.
• the XFE parameters are set to
factory default which may not be
ideal for the required application.
The examples in section 4 show how to
set up some of the essential XFE operating
parameters using the keypad. Once these
are understood, other XFE settings, as
indicated in the programming Menu
Structure, can be set in a similar manner
(The corresponding default settings are
shown in brackets). For the full menu
structure see page 6 .
XFE Soft Starts are either supplied pre-set to a Start Class or ready to set. An appliction selector chart is available
from FE to aid in the selection of the correct XFE. If the unit is supplied ready to set then it will force the selection
of a starting Class when first powered up.
It is always possible to change the starting Class through menu item >Advanced > current > P106 start class
When the motor is running the XFE can display current (default) or Estimated Power. Pressing the # key at the
top of the menu structure allows the user to toggle between these 2 options.
Starter Enable/Disable
An additional safety feature has been added so that following certain actions the XFE will be disabled. It is
strongly recommended that before any changes to parameter values are made, that the XFE is disabled via the
Basic Menu. Once disabled, the XFE remains unable to drive the load, until it has been enabled via the Basic
Menu, or the control supply is removed and reapplied, or the key is pressed when prompted.
Cooling
The XFE is designed so that the rated start current/time is close to the maximum allowed. If the start duty is
exceeded the unit will trip. All XFE Soft Starts have a forced off cooling time between starts.
In line with the stated IEC starting duties, all XFE 100 series have an enforced off period of 2 minutes, likewise all
XFE 200 and XFE 300 series have an enforced off period of 7 minutes set as standard. During this period the
display indicates “Stopped.Cooling” and the XFE will not respond to a start signal.
AC53a ratings are for Optimising or use without a bypass contactor.
AC53b rating is only for use with a bypass contactor and will trip if one is not used

'Current limit' and 'Overload level' settings are adjustable. The XFE monitors current in one phase only and this
limits overload currents in accordance with the trip curves shown here (See Menu structure for default settings).
Parameter P106 may be changed to select Class 10B, 10, 20 or 30. This will automatically change the motor
current rating (Trip level) of the unit to maintain over current protection.
Note: The overload monitors one of the phases only and the 'Current Limit' level is only active during motor
starting.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that the control supply is maintained between starts to ensure the integrity of the overload,
which will reset on it's removal.
5 Product information
Cooling
The XFE is designed so that the rated start current/time is close to the maximum allowed. If the start duty is
exceeded the unit will trip. All XFE Soft Starts have a forced off cooling time between starts.
In line with the stated IEC starting duties, all XFE 100 series have an enforced off period of 2 minutes, likewise all
XFE 200 and XFE 300 series have an enforced off period of 7 minutes set as standard. During this period the
display indicates “Stopped.Cooling”, and the XFE will not respond to a start signal.
AC53a ratings are for Optimising or use without a bypass contactor.
AC53b rating is only for use with a bypass contactor and will trip if one is not used
Trip curves show the nominal times for operation from cold (40°C)

The owner, installer and user is responsible for the correct installation and use of the XFE and must ensure that
only qualified personnel install the XFE and that the installation, operation and maintenance of the unit complies
with the relevant Codes of Practice, Regulations and Statutory Requirements. The Manufacturer or his agent do
not assume any liability, expressed or implied, for any consequence resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation, application, use or adjustment of the product or circuit design, or from the mismatch of the
unit to a motor. To prevent an electrical shock hazard the XFE must be connected to a safety earth. The unit is not
designed for use in hazardous areas. Use in such an area may invalidate the hazardous area certification.
