2 Caution 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 VersiStart p III
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
WARNING – 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
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.
SHORT CIRCUIT
The VersiStart p III is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short
circuit, the operation of the VersiStart p III 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 VersiStart p III to
provide proper grounding and branch circuit protection according to local
electrical safety codes.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
§The STOP function of the soft starter does not isolate dangerous
voltages from the output of the starter. The soft starter must be
disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before accessing
electrical connections.
§Soft starter protection features apply to motor protection only. It is the
user’s responsibility to ensure safety of personnel operating machinery.
§The soft starter is a component designed for integration within an
electrical system; it is therefore the responsibility of the system
designer/user to ensure the system is safe and designed to comply with
relevant local safety standards.

2.2 Unexpected Operation
WARNING – ACCIDENTAL STARTS
In some installations, accidental starts may pose an increased risk to safety
of personnel or damage to the machines being driven. In such cases, it is
recommended that the power supply to the soft starter is fitted with an
isolating switch and a circuit-breaking device (eg power contactor)
controllable through an external safety system (eg emergency stop, fault
detector).
WARNING – STARTER MAY START OR STOP UNEXPECTEDLY
The VersiStart p III
will respond to control commands from various sources,
and could start or stop unexpectedly. Always disconnect the soft starter
from mains voltage before accessing the starter or load.
WARNING – DISCONNECT MAINS BEFORE ACCESSING STARTER
OR LOAD
The soft starter has built-in protections which can trip the starter in the
event of faults and thus stop the motor. Voltage fluctuations, power cuts
and motor jams may also cause the motor to trip.
The motor could restart after the causes of shutdown are rectified, which
may be dangerous for personnel. Always disconnect the soft starter from
mains voltage before accessing the starter or load.
CAUTION – MECHANICAL DAMAGE FROM UNEXPECTED RESTART
The motor could restart after the causes of shutdown are rectified, which
may be dangerous for certain machines or installations. In such cases, it is
essential that appropriate arrangements are made against restarting after
unscheduled stops of the motor.

2.3 Avertissements à l'attention des clients canadiens
AVERTISSEMENT
L'icône AVERTISSEMENT ci-contre signale les informations concernant
des risques pouvant entraîner des blessures graves, voire mortelles. Pour
votre sécurité, veuillez consulter les avertissements sur cette page ou
demander une copie du présent manuel en français auprès de votre
distributeur local.
AVERTISSEMENT – RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE
Les zones suivantes sont soumises à des tensions pouvant provoquer des
risques de chocs électriques graves, voire mortels :
•Raccordement et câbles d'alimentation AC
•Câbles et raccordements de sortie
•De nombreuses pièces internes du démarreur
L'alimentation AC doit être déconnectée du démarreur au moyen d'un
dispositif d'isolation agréé avant de retirer des capots ou avant de procéder
à des travaux d'entretien.
PAR SÉCURITÉ
§La fonction STOP du démarreur progressif n'isole pas des tensions
dangereuses de la sortie du démarreur. Le démarreur progressif doit
être déconnecté par un dispositif d'isolement électrique approprié avant
d'accéder aux connexions électriques.
§Les fonctions de protection du démarreur progressif ne concernent que
la protection du moteur. Il relève de la responsabilité de l'utilisateur
d'assurer la sécurité des personnes travaillant sur les machines.
§Le démarreur progressif est un appareil conçu pour s'intégrer dans un
système électrique ; il relève donc de la responsabilité du concepteur ou
de l'utilisateur de veiller à ce que ce système soit sûr et conçu selon les
normes de sécurité locales en vigueur.
AVERTISSEMENT – DÉMARRAGES ACCIDENTELS
Dans certaines installations, des démarrages accidentels peuvent
provoquer un risque supplémentaire pour la sécurité des personnes ou
endommager les machines contrôlées. Dans de tels cas, il est
recommandé de doter l'alimentation du démarreur progressif d'un
interrupteur d'isolement et d'un coupe-circuit (par exemple, un disjoncteur)
contrôlable à partir d'un système de sécurité externe (par exemple, un arrêt
d'urgence, un détecteur de défaut).
AVERTISSEMENT – LE DÉMARREUR PEUT DÉMARRER OU
S'ARRÊTER À TOUT MOMENT
Le VersiStart p III répond aux commandes de contrôle de différentes
origines et peut par conséquent démarrer ou s'arrêter à tout moment.
Toujours déconnecter le démarreur de la tension secteur avant d'accéder
au démarreur ou à la charge.

VersiStart p III

AVERTISSEMENT – DÉCONNECTER L'ALIMENTATION PRINCIPALE
AVANT D'ACCÉDER AU DÉMARREUR OU À LA CHARGE
Le démarreur progressif comporte des protections intégrées qui peuvent
déclencher des mises en sécurité dans l'éventualité de défauts et ainsi
arrêter le moteur. Des fluctuations de tension, des coupures d'alimentation
et des blocages du moteur peuvent produire des mises en sécurité de
celui-ci.
Le moteur pourrait redémarrer une fois que les causes de l'arrêt ont été
résolues, ce qui pourrait mettre en danger le personnel. Toujours
déconnecter le démarreur de la tension secteur avant d'accéder au
démarreur ou à la charge.
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne pas appliquer la tension du secteur au démarreur tant que tout le
câblage n'est pas terminé.
AVERTISSEMENT
Toujours appliquer la tension de commande avant (ou en même temps
que) la tension secteur.
AVERTISSEMENT
Lors du raccordement du VersiStart p III en connexion 6 fils, toujours
installer un contacteur principal ou un disjoncteur magnéto-thermique à
bobine de déclenchement.

3 Declaration of conformity
In industrial linguistic usage the drive controllers of the type series VersiStart p III
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 p III 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 p III 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 B 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.
