2. Declaration of conformity
In industrial linguistic usage the drive controllers of the type series VersiStart i II are called "devices", however,
in the sense of the "law on the safety of equipment", the "EMC-law" or the "EC-machinery directive" they are not
devices or machines ready for use or connection but they are components. It is only possible to define their final
function, when these components are integrated into the design and construction of the user.
To be able to use the devices to their intended purpose, it requires power supply networks according to
DIN EN 50160 (IEC 60038).
The user takes the responsibility that the user's design and construction comply with the applicable legal
provisions.
The commissioning is strictly forbidden as long as the conformity of the final system with the guidelines
2006/42/EC (Machinery directive) and 2014/35/EU (Low voltage directive) is not proved.
The devices of the VersiStart i II series are electrical equipment that is used in industrial electrical power
installations. They are designed for application in machines, in order to reduce the starting torque and starting
current peaks as well as the tripping torque of drives with three-phase induction motors. With due regard to the
installation guidelines they meet the following requirements:
Emitted interference: Continuous duty EN 61000-6-3:2005
Acceleration, decel. EN 60947-4-2
Immunity to interference: EN 61000-6-2:2005
VersiStart i II has been designed to meet the standards specified in EN 60947-4-2: Low voltage switchgear –
Part 4-2 Contactors and motor-starters – AC Semiconductor motor controllers and starters, for low voltage
safety, operation and EMC.
This product has been designed as Class A equipment. Use of this product in domestic environments may
cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to employ additional mitigation methods.

4.4 Outputs
4.4.1 Main Contactor Output
The Main Contactor output (terminals 13, 14) closes as soon as the soft starter receives a start command and
remains closed while the soft starter is controlling the motor (until the motor starts a coast to stop, or until the
end of a soft stop). The Main Contactor output will also open if the soft starter trips.
The Main Contactor output can be used to directly control a main contactor coil.
4.4.2 Programmable Output
The programmable output relay (terminals 23, 24) can be used to signal either trip or run status. This relay is
normally open.
Trip:
The relay closes when the VersiStart i II trips. The relay can be used to operate the shunt-trip mechanism of
an upstream circuit breaker (in order to isolate the motor branch circuit), or to signal the trip to an automation
system or externally. The relay will open when the trip is reset.
Run:
The relay operates when the soft start is complete, the bypass relays are closed and full voltage is being
applied to the motor. The relay can be used to operate a contactor for power factor correction capacitors, or to
signal soft starter run status to an automation system.

6.3 Protections
The VersiStart i II includes the following types of protection for the motor and starter:
6.3.1 Excess Start Time Protection
The VersiStart i II will trip on excess start time if the motor does not successfully start within the time selected in
the Excess Start Time setting. This may indicate that the load has stalled.
If the soft starter frequently trips on excess start time:
•check that the Current Limit setting is high enough for the application
•check that the Excess Start Time setting is long enough for the application
•check that the load has not stalled or increased since the soft starter was installed

VersiStart i II 11
6.3.2 Motor Overload Protection
The VersiStart i II will trip on motor overload if it calculates that the motor has been running above its operating
range for longer than the time selected in the Motor Trip Class setting. Motor Trip Class should be set to
match the motor's locked rotor time. If this information is not available from the motor datasheet, use the
default setting (Motor Trip Class = 10). Using a higher setting can damage the motor.
NOTE
Motor overload protection does not protect the soft starter, and does not protect the motor from short
circuit.
6.3.3 Current Imbalance Protection
The VersiStart i II will trip on current imbalance if the highest and lowest currents on the three phases vary by
an average of 30% for more than 3 seconds. Current imbalance protection is not adjustable, and is only active
when the average motor current is 50% or more of the programmed motor FLC.
If the soft starter frequently trips on current imbalance:
•check that there is no imbalance on the mains voltage (on the input side of the soft starter)
•insulation test the motor
•move all input cables over one position (move L1 cable to L2, move L2 cable to L3, move L3 cable to
L1) to rule out a cabling fault
6.3.4 Supply Frequency Protection
The soft starter will trip on supply frequency if the frequency rises above 72 Hz or falls below 40 Hz for more
than five seconds while the soft starter is running. These trip points are not adjustable.
In pre-start, starting and stopping modes the high and low frequency limits both apply with no time delay.
A supply frequency trip will also occur if:
•all three input phases are lost while the soft starter is running
•all three input phases fall below 120 VAC at start or while the soft starter is running
•the line contactor opens while running
6.3.5 Bypass Overload Protection
Bypass overload protection protects the soft starter from severe operating overloads while running. The
protection is not adjustable and has two components:
•The soft starter will trip if it detects overcurrent at 600%of the programmed motor full load current.
•The soft starter models the temperature of the internal bypass relays and will trip if the temperature
exceeds the safe operating level.
If the trip occurs frequently, this indicates that the soft starter has not been selected correctly for the application.
6.4 Reset
Trips can be cleared by pressing the Reset button on the soft starter, sending a Reset command from the serial
communications network, or by switching the control inputs.
To clear a trip via the control inputs, the soft starter requires a closed to open transition on the stop input (02).
•In three-wire control, use the external stop button to momentarily open the stop input (open A1-02).
•In two-wire control, if the soft starter tripped with a start signal present, remove the start signal (open
A1 to 01, 02).
•In two wire control, if the VersiStart i II tripped with no start signal present (eg VersiStart i II motor
thermistor trip), apply then remove the start signal (close then reopen A1 to 01, 02).
The Reset button is located on the front of the unit, above the adjustment switches.
The soft starter will trip again immediately if the cause of the trip still exists.

7. Accessories
7.1 Finger Guard Kit
Finger guards may be specified for personnel safety. Finger guards fit over the soft starter terminals to prevent
accidental contact with live terminals. Finger guards provide IP20 protection when used with cable of
diameter 22 mm or greater.
7.2 Remote Operator
The Remote Operator can control and monitor the soft starter's performance. Functionality includes:
•Operational control (Start, Stop, Reset, Quick Stop)
•Starter status monitoring (Ready, Starting, Running, Stopping, Tripped)
•Performance monitoring (motor current, motor temperature)
•Trip code display
•4-20 mA analog output (Motor Current)
7.3 Communication Modules
VersiStart i II soft starters support network communication via easy-to-install communications modules. Each
soft starter can support one communications module at a time.
Available protocols:
Ethernet (Profinet, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP), Profibus, DeviceNet, Modbus RTU, and USB.
NOTE
Ethernet communication modules are not suitable for use with VersiStart i II starters using 380/440
VAC control voltage.
7.4 PC Software
WinMaster can be used with Peter Electronic soft starters to provide the following functionality for networks of
up to 99 soft starters:
•Operational control (Start, Stop, Reset, Quick Stop)
•Starter status monitoring (Ready, Starting, Running, Stopping, Tripped)
•Performance monitoring (motor current, motor temperature)
To use WinMaster with the VersiStart i II, the soft starter must be fitted with a USB Module, Modbus Module or
a Remote Operator.
