event will responsibility or liability be accepted for direct, indirect or consequential damages resulting
from the use or application of this equipment.

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 ASTAT XL soft starter is not user serviceable. The unit should only be serviced by
authorised service personnel. Unauthorised tampering with the unit will void the product
warranty.
2.1 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, and external option units
The AC supply must be disconnected from the starter using an approved isolation device before any
cover is removed from the starter or before any servicing work is performed.
WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Models QLxxB0500D~QLxxX1600D: The busbar and heatsink must be treated as live whenever
the unit has mains voltage connected (including when the starter is tripped or waiting for a
command).
AVERTISSEMENT - DANGER D'ELECTROCUTION
Modèles QLxxB0500D à QLxxX1600D : Les barres de puissance et le radiateur doivent être traités
comme étant des éléments sous tension si l'appareil est relié au secteur (y compris lorsque le
démarreur s'est mis en sécurité ou s'il attend une commande).
SHORT CIRCUIT
The ASTAT XL is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the operation of the
ASTAT XL 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 ASTAT XL to provide proper grounding
and branch circuit protection according to local electrical safety codes.
2.2 System Design and Safety of Personnel
The starter is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete equipment or a
system. If installed incorrectly, the starter may present a safety hazard.
The starter uses high voltages and currents, carries stored electrical energy, and is used to control
equipment which can cause injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards either in
normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design, installation, commissioning
and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary training and experience.
They must read this safety information and this guide carefully.
None of the starter functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel, ie they must not be used
for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the starter which might result in a hazard,
either through their intended behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any
application where a malfunction of the starter or its control system could lead to or allow damage, loss
or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further measures taken to reduce
the risk.
The system designer is responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed
correctly according to the relevant safety standards.

2.2.1 STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the starter, the motor or any external
option units.
2.3 Disposal Instructions
Equipment containing electrical components may not be disposed of together
with domestic waste.
It must be collected separately as electrical and electronic waste according to
local and currently valid legislation.

CAUTION
Do not apply voltage to the control input terminals. These are active 24 VDC inputs and
must be controlled with potential free contacts.
Cables to the control inputs must be segregated from mains voltage and motor cabling.
5.4 Relay Outputs
The ASTAT XL has three programmable relay outputs.
Operation of the programmable outputs is determined by the settings of parameters 7A~7I.
•If assigned to Main Contactor, the output activates as soon as the soft starter receives a start
command and remains active while the soft starter is controlling the motor (until the motor starts a
coast to stop, or until the end of a soft stop).
•If assigned to Run, the output activates when the soft start is complete (when the starting current
falls below 120% of the programmed motor full load current) and remains closed until the
beginning of a stop (either soft stop or coast to stop).
•If assigned to a trip function, the output activates when a trip occurs.
•If assigned to a flag, the output activates when the specified flag is active (parameters 7J~7L).
CAUTION
Some electronic contactor coils are not suitable for direct switching with PCB mount relays.
Consult the contactor manufacturer/supplier to confirm suitability. See also ASTAT XL Output
Relay Compatibility on page 82 for more information.
5.5 Motor Thermistors
Motor thermistors can be connected directly to the ASTAT XL. The soft starter will trip when the
resistance of the thermistor circuit exceeds approximately 3.6 kΩor falls below 20 Ω.

NOTE
If no motor thermistors are connected to the ASTAT XL thermistor input terminals 64, 65 must be

The thermistor circuit should be run in screened cable and must be electrically isolated from
earth and all other power and control circuits.

5.6 Power Terminations
NOTE
For personnel safety, the power terminals on models up to QLxxB0105D are protected by
snap-off tabs. When using large cables, it may be necessary to break off these tabs.
NOTE
Some units use aluminium busbars. When connecting power terminations, we recommend
cleaning the surface contact area thoroughly (using an emery or stainless steel brush) and
using an appropriate jointing compound to prevent corrosion.
Use only copper stranded or solid conductors, rated for 75 ºC or higher.
