1About This Manual
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. The information contained in this manual is
subject to change at any time and without prior notice. In no event will responsibility or liability be accepted for direct, indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
WARNING
Indicates a hazard that may cause personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazard that may damage the equipment or installation.
NOTE
Provides helpful information.
2Caution Statements
This symbol is used throughout this manual to draw attention to topics of special importance to the installation and
operation of equipment.
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 ASAB 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 ASAB-0500B~ASAB-1600C: 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).
SHORT CIRCUIT
The ASAB is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the operation of the ASAB 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 ASAB 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.

4/66
ASAB
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.
4.5 Relay Outputs
The ASAB 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.
4.6 Motor Thermistors
Motor thermistors can be connected directly to the ASAB. The soft starter will trip when the resistance of the thermistor circuit exceeds
approximately 3.6 kor falls below 20 .

NOTE
If no motor thermistors are connected to the ASAB thermistor input terminals 64, 65 must be open. If 64, 65 are shorted,
the ASAB will trip.
The thermistor circuit should be run in screened cable and must be electrically isolated from earth and all other power and
control circuits.

4.7 Power Terminations
NOTE
For personnel safety, the power terminals on models up to ASAB-0105B 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.

5Power Circuits
5.1 Motor Connection
ASAB soft starters can be connected to the motor in-line or inside delta (also called three-wire and six-wire connection). When
connecting in inside delta, enter the motor full load current (FLC) for parameter 1A. The ASAB will automatically detect whether the
motor is connected in-line or inside delta and will calculate the correct inside delta current level.
5.1.1 Testing the Installation
The ASAB can be connected to a small motor for testing. During this test, the soft starter's control input and relay output protection
settings can be tested. This test mode is not suitable for testing soft starting or soft stopping performance.
The FLC of the test motor must be at least 2% of the soft starter's minimum FLC (refer to Minimum and Maximum Current Settings on
page 8).
NOTE
When testing the soft starter with a small motor, set parameter 1A Motor Full Load Current to the minimum allowable
value.
Models which are internally bypassed do not require an external bypass contactor.

5.2 Bypass Contactor
Some ASAB soft starters are internally bypassed and do not require an external bypass contactor.
Non-bypassed soft starters may be installed with an external bypass contactor. Select a contactor with an AC1 rating greater than or
equal to the full load current rating of the connected motor.
5.3 Main Contactor
A main contactor must be installed if the ASAB is connected to the motor in inside delta format and is optional for in-line connection.
Select a contactor with an AC3 rating greater than or equal to the full load current rating of the connected motor.
5.4 Circuit Breaker
A shunt trip circuit breaker may be used instead of a main contactor to isolate the motor circuit in the event of a soft starter trip. The
shunt trip mechanism must be powered from the supply side of the circuit breaker or from a separate control supply.
5.5 Earth Terminals
Earth terminals are located at the back of the soft starter.
 ASAB-0023B ~ ASAB-0105B have one terminal on the input side (top).
 ASAB-0145B ~ ASAB-1000B and ASAB-0255C ~ ASAB-1600C have two terminals, one on the input side (top) and one on
the output side (bottom).
5.6 Power Factor Correction
If power factor correction is used, a dedicated contactor should be used to switch in the capacitors.
CAUTION
Power factor correction capacitors must be connected to the input side of the soft starter. Connecting power factor
correction capacitors to the output side will damage the soft starter.
5.7 Power Supply Fuses
Semiconductor fuses can be used for Type 2 coordination (according to IEC 60947-4-2 standard) and to reduce the risk of damage to
SCRs from transient overload currents.
HRC fuses (such as Ferraz AJT fuses) can be used for Type 1 coordination according to IEC 60947-4-2 standard.
CAUTION
Adaptive Control controls the motor's speed profile, within the programmed time limit. This may result in a higher level
of current than traditional control methods.
For applications using Adaptive Control to soft stop the motor with stop times greater than 30 seconds, motor branch protection should
be selected as follows:
 standard HRC line fuses: minimum 150% motor full load current
 motor rated line fuses: minimum rating 100/150% motor full load current
 motor control circuit breaker minimum long time setting: 150% motor full load current
 motor control circuit breaker minimum short time setting: 400% motor full load current for 30 seconds
