iERS can produce energy savings in suitable applications. However, the user should have an
understanding of the application and load characteristic before enabling the feature.
Loads which exhibit frequent changes in motor torque may cause the VMX-synergy unit to
switch rapidly between the iERS on state and the ‘bypassed’ state as the motor torque
changes. If left unchecked, such switching may cause premature wear of the internal
bypass components and may invalidate the warranty.
If the loaded / unloaded state changes more than 4 times per minute, iERS should not be
enabled.
Applications that are typically well suited to the iERS feature include; Artificial Lift Pump
Jacks, Injection Molding Machines, Mixers, Saws, Rolling Mills, Grinders, Hydraulic Pumps,
Crushers, Conveyors, Compressors and Vertical Transport applications.
If the user requires further support regarding the suitability of the application, he should
seek support from Motortronics Inc or an Authorized Distributor before enabling the iERS
function.

• VMX-synergy™ soft starts contain dangerous
voltages when connected to the mains supply.
Only qualified personnel that have been
completely trained and authorised, should
carry out installation, operation and
maintenance of this equipment.
• Les démarreurs progressifs VMX-synergy ™
contiennent des tensions dangereuses, lorsqu’ils
sont connectés à la tension secteur. Les activités
d’installation, d’utilisation et d’entretien de cet
équipement doivent être effectuées par un
personnel qualifié, dûment formé et habilité.
• Installation of the soft start must be made in
accordance with existing local and national
electrical codes and regulations and have a
minimum protection rating.
• Le démarreur progressif doit être installer
conformément au code local et nationale
d’électricité et à la réglementation en vigueur, et
il doit avoir un indice de protection minimal
• It is the responsibility of the installer to
provide suitable grounding and branch circuit
protection in accordance with local electrical
safety codes.
• Il appartient à l’installeur d’assurer la mise à la
terre et la protection du circuit de branchement,
conformément au code de sécurité électrique

• The STOP function of the soft start does not
isolate dangerous voltages from the output of
the soft start. An approved electrical isolation
device must be used to disconnect the soft
start from the incoming supply before
accessing electrical connections.
• La fonction STOP du démarreur progressif
n’isole pas les tension dangereuses en sortie du

Enclosure Ventilation
When installing a VMX-synergy™ into an enclosure, 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 in the fan supplier’s data.
The maximum power dissipation occurs when energy saving.
Heat dissipated can be approximated with the formula:-
Watts (VMX-synergy ™ ) = 1/2 x VMX-synergy ™ current rating x 3
Ventilation intérieure
Lorsque VMX-synergy ™ est installé dans une armoire, il faut assurer sa ventilation, si la chaleur
produite de l’unité est plus important que la capacité de dissipation de
l’armoire. Utiliser la formule suivante pour déterminer la demande de ventilateur. Une tolérence
a été incorporé dans la formule, ainsi la figure donnée dans Q est le débit d’air indiqué dans les
données du fournisseur du ventilateur.
La puissance maximale de dissipation est atteint en mode économie d’énergie.
La chaleur dissipée peut être estimée par la formule suivante :
Watts (VMX-synergy ™ ) = 1/2 x courant nominal VMX-synergy ™ x 3
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 (50°C for a fully rated VMX-
synergy™)
Tamb = Temperature of the air entering the enclosure (°C)
If you prefer to work in CFM, substitute °F for °C. Q is now in CFM
Q = quantité d’air (mètre cube par heure - m3/h)
Wt = Chaleur produite par l’unité et toutes autres sources de chaleur dans l’armoire
(Watts)
Tmax = Température maximale admissible dans l’armoire (50°C pour VMX-synergy ™ en
puissance maximale)
Tamb = Température de l’air entrant dans l’armoire (°C)
Pour calculer en CFM, remplacer °C par °F. Ainsi Q est en CFM.

CAUTION
#1
REFER to TABLE 1 on page 8 for input control voltages.
These recommended wiring diagrams are specifically where the control supply voltage (US) is identical
to the control circuit voltage (UC) and not to be supplied separately. Other wiring configurations must
also be in accordance with existing local and national codes and regulations.
RÉFÉRER au TABLEU 1 à la page 8 pour des tensions de contrôle d’entrée.
Ces schémas de câblage sont recommandées spécifiquement lorsque la tension d’alimentation de
commande (US) est identique à la tension du circuit de commande (UC). US et UC ne doivent pas être
alimentés séparément. Toutes les configurations de câblage doivent également être en conformité avec
les codes et les règlements locaux et nationaux en vigueur.
#2
Power factor correction capacitors must NOT be positioned between the soft start and the motor or
there is a risk of damaging thyristors due to current peaks.
Condensateurs de correction de facteur de puissance NE doivent pas être placés entre le moteur at le
démarreur progressif ou il y a un risqué d’endommager les thyristors en raison des pics de courant.
1) Optional high reset. If this reset is required ensure
“User Programmable” is selected in the control method
menu found in the Digital Inputs menu. If you would
prefer the reset to work by removing and reapplying the
Start Signal on D1 - 1I then select “Two wire control” in
the control method menu.
