Chapter 1 - Introduction
General Description
The TE Series is a digitally programmablesolid state reduced voltage soft starter using a six SCR design. It
features a voltage/currentramp for smooth load acceleration. The SCRs are sized to withstand starting
currents of 500% for 60 seconds for applications typical to NEMA / UL Class 30 overload trip curve. The TE
Series features smooth stepless ramp control, which reduces motor inrush current and excessive wear on
the mechanical drive train components. The TE Series includes a programmablekeypad for setting
operating parameters for the ideal starting cycle and protection features, plus easy to understand
diagnostic LEDs. Starting torque, ramp time, current limit, dual ramp, and Decel control are standard
features on the TE Series. The TE Series includes solid state electronic overload protection in addition to
numerous other protective features. It requires 120VAC (220VAC optional) control power and uses dry
contact inputs for Start / Stop control. Programmableauxiliary contacts and provisions for interlocking are
also included.

Sizes and Ratings

The Toshiba TE Series starters are current rated controllers. Max.
Amp ratings are for continuous duty and must not be exceeded.

Chapter 2 – Installation
Receiving and Unpacking
Upon receipt of the product, you should immediately do the following:
Carefully unpack the unit from the shipping carton and inspect it for shipping damage (if damaged,
notify the freight carrier and file a claim within 15 days of receipt).
Verify that the model number on the unit matches your purchase order.
Confirm that the ratings sticker on the unit matches or is greater than the motor’s nameplate Full Load
Current
(FLC or FLA) rating and Service Factor (if used).
Choosing a Location
Proper location of the TE Series is necessary to achieve specified performance and normal operation lifetime.
The TE Series should always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:
Ambient operating temperature:
Panel (open chassis) unit: 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F)
Enclosed unit: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
TE is to have protection from rain, moisture and dust.
Enclosed units should not be exposed to direct sun.
Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing
Free from metallic particles, conductive dust and corrosive gas
Free from excessive vibration (below 0.5G)
Open panel units must be mounted in the appropriate type of enclosure. Enclosure size and type must
be suitable to dissipate heat generated by the soft starter and any other components mounted inside with it.
Units with –BP Bypass Contactors produce less heat than units without. Throughout all sizes, maximum
heat dissipation of the TE…-BP Series electronics, contactor coils and fans is less than 50W.
NOTE: This does not include heat generated by cables, lugs or bus bars.

Initial Unit Inspection
Make a complete visual check of the unit for damage that may have occurred during shipping and handling.
Do not attempt to continue installation or start up the unit if it is damaged.
Check for loose mechanicalassemblies or broken wires which may have occurred during transportation
or handling. Loose electrical connections will increase resistance and cause the unit to function
improperly.
Mounting, Clearances and Cleaning
When drilling or punching holes in the enclosure, cover the electrical assemblyto prevent metal filings
from becoming lodged in areas which can cause clearance reduction or actually short out electronics. After
work is complete, thoroughly clean, vacuum the area, and re-inspect the unit for foreign material.

SERVICE WARNING!
Do not service equipment with voltage applied! The unit can be the
source of fatal electrical shocks! To avoid shock hazard, disconnect
main power and control power before working on the unit. Warning
labels must be attached to terminals, enclosure and control panel to
meet local codes. Use Lock Out tags such as the one shown when
servicing equipment.

Clearances
Make sure there is sufficient clearance all around the unit for cooling, wiring and maintenance purposes. To
conserve panel space, the TE Series – BP models were designed for close vertical clearances of only 1 inch
(25mm) on either side. A minimum horizontal clearance of 4” (100 mm) on the top and bottom is necessary to
maximize effective airflow and cooling. Also the unit must be installed with its heat sink ribs oriented vertically
and running parallel to the mounting surface. Keep in mind that these are minimums. Wiring may require
more clearance, particularly on the bottom.
Figure 2: TE minimum mounting clearances

Cleaning:


WARNING!
Remove all sources of power before cleaning the unit.

In dirty or contaminated atmospheres, the unit should be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure proper
cooling. Do not use any chemicals to clean the unit. To remove surface dust use clean, dry compressed
air only, 80 to 100 psi. A three inch, high quality, dry paintbrush is helpful to loosen up the dust prior to

TE Power Connections
Electrical Connections
Power Connections
Referring to local code standards for wire sizing and length, connect
power conductors to the unit input terminals marked L1, L2, L3 (R, S,
T for IEC users). Connection points are bus tabs with pre-drilled
holes (see section 2 of the Advanced Installation, Operation and
Programming Manual). Use appropriate compression or mechanical
lugs for termination to these bus tabs. Avoid routing power wires
over the control board or display. Connect the motor leads to the unit
terminals marked T1, T2, and T3 (U, V and W for IEC users). If
control power is present, but line power is disconnected from L1, L2
and L3, the display will show [n3PH] indicating “no 3 Phase”.
Caution! Never interchange input and output connections to
the unit. This could cause excessive voltage in the
control logic circuit and may damage the unit.
Bypass Contactor
Bypass Contactors are integral (built-in) on all TE versions. See
sections 1.2.3, 3.1.3.c and Appendix 4 of the Advanced Installation,
Operation and Programming Manual for more details on contactor
control and overload protection details.
Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Power factor correction capacitors can be connected to motors
controlled by TE Series starters, however they must be off-line
during ramping. Connect PFC capacitors to the Line side of the
starter with a separate capacitor control contactor.
WARNING!
Never connect power factor correction capacitors on the load
side of the unit. The SCRs will be seriously damaged if
capacitors are located on the load side.
Grounding
Connect the ground cable to the ground terminal as labeled on the
unit. Refer to the National Electrical Code or your local Code for the
proper ground wire sizing and be sure that the ground connector is
connected to earth ground. In ungrounded systems, it is not
necessary to connect a ground to the unit; however, local codes
should always be consulted.

Remote Keypad Mounting
The keypad / operator interface unit can be remotely mounted up to 10’ (3 meters) away from the starter, i.e.
on the enclosure door. A remote mounting kit is necessary, which consists of an adaptor plate, a doorframe
for NEMA 12 enclosures and a pre-assembled ribbon cable available in 1-meter length increments. Detailed
assembly instructions and an enclosure cutout template are included with the kit. See Industrial Catalog for
part numbers of the available kits.

Control Connections
Control connections on the TE Series starter are divided into 2 groups. With the unit oriented vertically, TB1
is a 12-point DC terminal block (on the left), and TB2 is a 10 point AC terminal block (on the right side). These
are removable terminal blocks for ease of connection and servicing, and are provided with different spacing
(pitch) between the header pins so they are not interchangeable. Following are descriptions of control
connection points.
Figure 5
Note:
Terminal numbers are shown on the side of the first and last terminal of each block. An additional
3 point terminal on the far left side is for serial communication connections.
AC Control Power Supply Connection
Separate AC Control Power supply is required to power the
electronics of the TE Series starter. 120VAC is standard; order 240
VAC (optional) if necessary for your line power supply configuration.
The control voltage must be connected to terminals marked A1 and
A2 of TB-2 as shown in figure 5.1 (these are also Terminal No.’s 21
and 22). This control voltage must be customer supplied, unless an
optional control power transformer (see table below) has been
supplied with the unit.

Control Fusing
Output relays in TB2 must be protected from currents in excess of 5A, either with a fuse or with other
suitable current protection devices.
A dedicated fault output for use in PLC or interposing relay control is available on TB1. This opto-isolated
triac switch is rated for 50mA max., 10-250VAC. Any circuit connected to it must be fused accordingly.

Three-Wire Control Connection
For standard 3-wire control, connect dry (voltage free) contacts for the Stop / Start buttons as shown on the
diagram directly above the terminal strip. Connect the NO contact of the Start button to Terminal 1 (far left
terminal), the common point between the Stop and Start to Terminal 2 (2nd from left) and the NC from the
Stop button to Terminal 3 (3rd from left).
Seal-In Contact
The TE Series uses an internally pre-wired “seal-in” contact
around the Start button (Terminals 1 and 2). No external
relay or auxiliary output connection is necessary.



Two Wire Control: Relay / PLC Connection
An alternate connection for automated or unattended
operation replaces the start/stop push buttons by connecting
a dry (voltage free) maintained contact closure between
terminals 1 and 3 as shown in Figure 5.3. When this contact
is closed, the TE Series starter will start and run. When it is
opened, it is the same as a Stop command.
Note: When a maintained contact is used for start/stop it is
advisable to set the overload relay to the manual reset
position. This will prevent the motor from restarting if the
thermal overload trips and then cools down.
CAUTION!
Control Terminals 1-10 of TB1 are configured using solid state devices powered
internally with a 24VDC power supply. To prevent damage to the TE Series control
board, use dry (unpowered) contact closures only when connecting to these terminals.
If existing 120VAC or other powered control circuit must be interfaced, use isolating
relays and control the TE Series with 2 wire control as shown above.
Interlock Connection
TB1 provides a connection point for an external dry (voltage free) N.C. (Normally Closed) interlock device
between terminals 4 and 5. Examples where this interlock connection would be used include low oil, high
temperature, or excess vibration dropout from user supplied
devices. A factory-installed jumper is provided which allows
the TE Series unit to operate if external interlocks are not
used. If this jumper is removed and an interlock is not used,
the TE Series unit will not function.

PTC Thermistor Input
The TE Series starter is provided with input terminals for connecting a PTC (Positive Temperature
Coefficient) Thermistor that may be imbedded in the motor. These
are specialized resistors imbedded in some motor windings that
increase in resistance as the temperature increases. When the
TE Series detects that the PTC input resistance is too high, it
initiates a PTC trip, and displays [PTc] on the readout. This is
independent of the Thermal Register overload current protection
and provides supplemental protection for high motor ambient
temperature applications. Terminals for this input are provided
with a factory jumper that must be removed if the PTC input is
used. These are Terminals 9 and 10 located on TB1.
PTC resistors are also found in other devices such as bearings,
air receivers, oil or coolant reservoirs and air discharge systems that may require shutdown of the motor.
PTC Resistor Values:
The resistance must be less than or equal to 750 at 25ºC. If multiple resistors are used in the motor, the
sum of all resistors in series must equal or be less than this value.
Fault Signal An optically isolated Triac output is dedicated as a fault indicator
on TB1, terminals 11 and 12, labeled “Opto”. The output Triac
switch is rated for 10 - 250VAC, 50 mA (maximum). If the three
programmable Output Auxiliary Relays are being used for other
functions, this output can easily be hooked up to a PLC or small
external relay to provide a Fault signal. This Fault Output
operation is permanently fixed at “Any Trip”, duplicating the
Relay setting 16 as shown in Table 5.6.10 of the Advanced
Installation, Operation and Programming Manual.
This output is permanently set to this function and is not programmable.
