1. Safety Information
1.1 Warnings, cautions and notes
WARNING
A Warning contains information which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
NOTE
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of the product.
1.2 Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the starter can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at
all times when working with or adjacent to the starter.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
1.3 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.
1.4 Environmental limits
Instructions regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the starter must be complied with, including the specified
environmental limits. Starters must not be subjected to excessive physical force.
1.5 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention
regulations and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of
conductors, the selection of fuses or other protection, and protective ground connections.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery.
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
1.6 Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
The values of the motor parameters set in the starter affect the protection of the motor. The default values in the starter should not
be relied upon. It is essential that the correct value is entered in Pr 1A Motor Full Load Current. This affects the thermal protection of
the motor.
1.7 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the starter. They must not be altered without careful consideration of
the impact on the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.

1.8 Electrical installation
1.8.1 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.
Models D3-1x-0500-B to D3-16-1600-N: 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).
1.8.2 Power-up procedure
Always apply control voltage before (or with) mains voltage.
D3-1x-0023-B to D3-1x-0105-B: After transportation, mechanical shock or rough handling there is a possibility that the bypass
contactor may have latched into the on state. To prevent the possibility of the motor starting immediately, on first commissioning or
operation after transportation, always ensure that the control supply is applied before the power, so that the contactor state is
initialised.
1.8.3 STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the starter, the motor or any external option units.
1.8.4 Stored charge
The starter contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially dangerous voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected.
If the starter has been energised, the AC supply must be isolated at least two minutes before work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual fault conditions, the capacitors may fail to
discharge. Do not assume that the capacitors have discharged. To protect the user and the equipment, take due care when carrying
out any work on the starter.
1.8.5 Equipment supplied by plug and socket
The control supply terminals of the starter are connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to
give safety isolation. If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected from the socket, a means of automatically
isolating the plug from the starter must be used (e.g. a latching relay).
1.8.6 Short circuit
Digistart D3 soft starters are not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the operation of the soft starter should be
fully tested by an authorised service agent.
1.8.7 Auto-start
Use the auto-start feature with caution. Read all the notes related to auto-start before operation.

AC53b utilisation code
The AC53b utilisation code defines the current rating and standard operating conditions for a bypassed soft starter (internally
bypassed, or installed with an external bypass contactor).
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 and the length and current level of the start.
The soft starter’s current rating is only valid when used within the conditions specified in the utilisation code. The soft starter may
have a higher or lower current rating in different operating conditions.

2.2.2 Current ratings for continuous operation (not bypassed)
AC53a utilisation code
The AC53a Utilisation Code defines the current rating and standard operating conditions for a non-bypassed soft starter.
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 percentage of the operating cycle that the soft starter will
be running (passing current).
The soft starter’s current rating is only valid when used within the conditions specified in the utilisation code. The soft starter may
have a higher or lower current rating in different operating conditions.

3. Mechanical Installation
WARNING
Digistart D3 models D3-1x-0145-B to D3-16-1600-N weigh in excess of 15 kg (33 lb). Use appropriate safeguards
when lifting these models.
WARNING
Models D3-1x-0145-B to D3-1x-1000-B and D3-1x-0255-N to D3-16-1600-N are intended to be mounted in an
enclosure which prevents access except by trained and authorised personnel, and which prevents the ingress of
contamination. The complete range is designed for use in an environment classified as Pollution Degree 3 in
accordance with IEC60664-1. This means conductive pollution or dry, non-conductive pollution which becomes
conductive due to condensation is acceptable.
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that any enclosure which allows access to models D3-1x-0145-B to
D3-1x-1000-B and D3-1x-0255-N to D3-16-1600-N while the product is energized, provides protection against contact
and ingress requirements of IP20.
Models D3-1x-0145-B to D3-1x-1000-B can be installed with optional finger guards, in which case they do not need to
be mounted in an enclosure.

4.1.2 Power terminations
Use only copper stranded or solid conductors, rated for 75 ºC or higher.
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.
NOTE
For personnel safety, the power terminals on models up to D3-1x-0105-B are protected by snap-off tabs. When using
large cables, it may be necessary to break off these tabs.

CAUTION
Always connect control voltage to the correct terminals:
110 to 210 Vac: CSL-CSR or
220 to 440 Vac: CSH-CSR
WARNING
The installer must ensure that the external control circuits are insulated from human contact by at least one layer of
insulation (supplementary insulation) rated for use at the AC supply voltage.
Control terminations use 2.5mm2plug-in terminal blocks. Unplug each block, complete the wiring, then reinsert the block.
