Safety
The softstarter should be installed in a cabinet or in an electrical control room.
lThe device must be installed by trained personnel.
lDisconnect all power sources before servicing.
lShort circuit protection in the form of circuit breaker or time delay fuses must be provided per code.
Operating and Maintenance Personnel
1. Read the whole Instruction Manual before installing and putting the equipment into operation.
2. During all work (operation, maintenance, repairs, etc.) observe the switch-of f procedures given in this
instruction as well as any other operating instruction for the driven machine or system. See Emergency
below.
3. The operator must avoid any working methods which reduce the safety of the device.
4. The operator must do what he can to ensure that no unauthorised person is working on the device.
5. The operator must immediately report any changes to the device which reduce its safety to the user.
6. The user must undertake all necessary measures to operate the device in perfect condition only.
Inst allation of Spare Part s
W e expressly point out that any spare parts and accessories not supplied by Saftronics, Inc. have also not been
tested or approved by Saftronics, Inc.
Installing and/or using such products can have a negative effect on the characteristics designed for your device. The
manufacturer is not liable for damage arising as a result of using non-original parts and accessories.
Emergency
You can switch the device off at any time with the mains switch connected in front of the sof tstarter (both motor and
control volt age should be switched off).
Dismantling and Scrapping
The enclosure of the softstarter is made of recyclable material, such as aluminium, iron and plastic. Legal require -
ments for disposal and recycling of these materials must be complied with.
The softst arter cont ains a number of components demanding special treatment, as for example thyristors. The cir -
cuit board contain small amounts of tin and lead. Legal requirements for disposal and recycling of these materials
must be complied with.

DESCRIPTION
SA7 Instruction Manual

10
The AS6 is installed directly between the mains and the supply cable to the motor. If a mains cont actor is used it can
be activated by the integrated K1 relay.
The AS6 is developed for softstarting, stopping and braking three-phase motors.
There are 3 different kinds of softstarting control methods:
lControl method 1-Phase
The single phase controlled softstarters provide only a reduction in starting torque no control of current or torque.
These starters need a main and bypass contactor as well as external motor protections. This is a open loop volt age
controller. These starters are mainly in the power up to 7.5 kW.
lControl method 2-Phase
The two phase starters can st art a motor without a mains contactor, but in that case volt age still is present at the
motor when it·s stopped. These starters are mainly in the power up to 22 kW.
lControl method 3-Phase
In the three phase Soft Starters there are dif ferent technologies:
lVoltage control
lCurrent control
lTorque control
Voltage control
This method is the most used control method. The starter gives a smooth start but doesn t get any feedback on cur-
rent or torque. The typical settings to optimize a volt age ramp are: Initial volt age, ramp time, dual ramp time.

DESCRIPTION
Current control
The voltage ramp can be used with a current limit which stops the volt age ramp when the set maximum current level
is reached. The maximum current level is the main setting and must be set by the user depending the maximum cur-
rent allowed for the application.
Figure 3: Current Control
Torque control
Is the most efficient way of st arting motors. Unlike volt age and current based systems the softstarter monitors the
torque need and allows to start with the lowest possible current. Using a closed loop torque controller, linear ramps
are possible. The volt age ramp can not hold back the motor starting torque; this result s in a current peak and unlin -
ear ramps. In the current ramp, there will be no peak current, but a higher current for a longer period of time during
the st art will result comp ared to torque control. Current st arting doesn t give linear ramps.The linear ramps are very
important in many applications. For an example, to stop a pump with an unlinear ramp will give water hammer. Soft
starters which doesn t monitor the torque, will st art and stop too fast if the load is lighter than the setting of current or
ramp time.

lConsider the power loss at rated current when dimensioning a cabinet, max. ambient temperature is
104oF (40”C). Starter will generate approx. 3 Watt s per Amp.
lConnect the motor circuit according to Fig. 5.
lConnect the protective earth.
lConnect the control voltage to terminals 01 and 02 (100 - 240 VAC).
lConnect terminals 11, 12, and 13 to control devices as indicated. 1)
lCheck that the motor and supply voltage corresponds to values on the softst arter s rating plate.
lEnsure the installation complies with the appropriate local regulations.
1) The menu 006 must be put to 02 for start/stop command from terminal strip.

3.2 Main functions/Applications
W ARNING! Make sure that all safety measures have been taken before switching on the supply.
Switch on the control voltage (normally 1 x 120 V), all segments in the display and the two LED s will be illuminated
for a few seconds. Then the display will show menu 001. An illuminated display indicates there is supply voltage on
the PCB. Check that you have mains voltage on the mains contactor or on the thyristors. The settings are carried
out according to following:
The first step in the settings is to set menu 007 and 008 to ON to reach the main functions 020-025 and motor data
041-046.
NOTE! The main function is chosen according to the application. The tables in the applications and
functions selection (table 1, page 19), gives the information to choose the proper main function.
3.3 Motor Data
Set the data, according to the motor nameplate to obtain optimal settings for st arting, stopping and motor protection.
NOTE! The default settings are for a standard 4-pole motor acc. to the nominal power of the soft-starter.
The soft starter will run even if no specific motor data is selected, but the performance will not be
optimal, and the motor may not be protected.
