2. ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual gives the necessary description for the configuration of all the functions and parameters
of the Soft-Starter SSW-07/SSW-08. This manual must be used together with the SSW-07/ SSW-08 User’s
Guide.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual contains the necessary information for the correct use of the Soft-Starter SSW-07/
SSW-08.
It was written to be used by trained or technically qualified people to operate this type of equipment.
3. ABOUT THE SSW-07/SSW-08
The Soft-Starter SSW-07/ SSW-08 is a high performance product that allows start control of three
phase induction motors. This way mechanic shocks in the load and current surges in the power supply can
be avoided.
4. ABOUT THE SSW-07/SSW-08 PARAMETER PROGRAMMING
The basic functions of the Soft-Starter SSW-07/SSW-08 can be programmed at the front cover at the
SSW-07/SSW-08 (Trimpots and DIP Switch). To program additional functions and/or visualize reading
parameters, some accessories must be used, as for example: the Software SuperDrive G2, Serial
Communication RS-232 or RS-485, Local or Remote Keypad. For more details see the chapter 7 of the
User’s Guide and the optionals guides of SSW-07/SSW-08.
NOTE!
For communication with the SSW-07/SSW-08 use the 2nd generation programming software SuperDrive
G2. The first generation software named SuperDrive is not compatible with this product.
Parameter P219, Parameterization via Keypad/ (Trimpots and DIP Switch), defines the
programming origin for the protection and acceleration/deceleration ramps. A Soft-Starter SSW-07/
SSW-08 can be programmed via Trimpots and DIP Switches or completely via parameters. See the detailed
description of parameters (P219).
Parameters P220, P229, and P230 (Local/Remote Definitions) program the origin of the enable/
disable command. Factory default settings enable via digital input. To enable/disable by means of keypad or
serial command the settings of P220, P229 and P230 must be changed. See the detailed description of
parameters P220, P229 and P230.
The SSW-07/SSW-08 User’s Guide has a chapter dedicated to Programming Suggestions. It’s
important to read this chapter before starting to program the Soft-Starter SSW-07/SSW-08.
5. KEYPAD(HMI) USE
The keypad is a simple interface that allows the operation and the programming of the Soft-Starter. It
presents the following functions:
- Indication of the Soft-Starter operational status;
- Indication of the errors;
- Visualization and modification of the adjustable parameters;
- Operation of the soft-Starter ( and keys).

10
The keypad can be used in the following cases:
- If an keypad for commanding, programming and/or visualizing SSW-07/SSW-08 parameters were necessary;
- For installation of the keypad at the cabinet door, commanding panel or at the SSW-07/SSW-08 front cover;
- When the copy function were necessary.
The SSW-07/SSW-08 local or remote keypad presents a 7-segment 4-digit LED display, 4 status
LEDs and 8 keys. The figures below show a front view of the remote keypad and of the local keypad.
5.1. LEDs Display Functions
It shows the parameter number or its content and also fault and status messages.
5.2. Function of the “Local” and “Remote” LEDs
Soft-Starter in Local mode:
Green LED on and red LED off.
Soft-Starter in Remote mode:
Green LED off and red LED on.
5.3. Function of the Direction of Rotation LEDs (Clockwise and Counterclockwise)
The changing of the direction of rotation function is not available in the software version V1.3x.
5.4. Basic Functions of the Keys
- Enables the motor (start);
- Disables the motor (stop). Resets the Soft-Starter after the occurrence of errors;
- Selects (toggles) the display between the parameter number and its value (position/content);
- Increments the parameter number or the parameter value;
- Decrements the parameter number or the parameter value;
- Selects the origin of the commands between Local or Remote;
- No function in the software V1.3x;
- No function in the software V1.3x.

5.5. Signaling/Indications on the Keypad Display
Soft-Starter states:
NOTES!
The display also flashes in the following situations, besides the error condition:
An attempt to change a parameter with an incorrect password (P000 – Access parameter);
An attempt to change a not allowed parameter. For instance one that cannot be changed with the motor
rotating.
5.6. Parameter Viewing/Changing
All the settings of the Soft-Starter can be done through the parameters. The parameters are indicated on the
display by means of the letter Pfollowed by a number:
Example (P264):
264 = number of the parameter
There is a numeric value (content of the parameter) associated to each parameter, which corresponds to the
option chosen among the available ones for that parameter.
The values of the parameters define the Soft-Starter programming or the value of a variable (E.g.: current,
voltage). In order to carry out the soft-Starter programming one must change the content(s) of the parameter(s).
Soft-Starter ready to enable the motor
Soft-Starter in an error condition. The error code shows up
flashing. In the example we have the E03 indication (phase
Loss).
Soft-Starter executing the function “Load parameters with the
factory default (P204)”.

NOTES!
(1) By pressing the key after an adjustment, the last adjusted value is automatically stored in the
Soft-Starter nonvolatile memory, being kept until a new modification.
(2) In order to be able to change the value of a parameter, it is necessary to set first P000 = 5. Otherwise it will
only be possible to see the parameters, but not changing them. For more details refer to the P000 description.
(3) If the last value programmed in the parameter is not functionally compatible with other parameter values
already programmed, an E24 –Programming Error -will be displayed.
Example of programming error:
Programming two digital inputs (DIx) with the same function. Refer to Table 5.1 for the list of programming
errors that will generate an E24 Programming Error.

On the keypad display the relay output status is shown by
numbers (0 = Inactive) and (1=Active), in the following order, RL1
and RL2. The indication is binary and RL1 represents the most
significant bit. The 5 less significant bits are not shown on the
keypad display.
Example:
RL1 = Active
RL2 = Active
Which is the equivalent to the sequence of bits:

Starting with voltage ramp:
This is the most commonly used method.
The Soft-Starter imposes the voltage on the motor without any
kind of voltage or current feedback applied to the motor. This is
applied to loads with lower initial torques or quadratic torques.
This kind of control can be used as an initial working test.
Starting by current limitation:
The maximum current level is maintained during the start, being
set according to the needs of the application.
Applied to loads with higher initial torques or constant torques.
This type of control is used to adapt the start to the capacity
limits of the supply network.

When an error occurs, except for E04, E10, E24, E28, E3x,
E67 and E77, the Soft-Starter will reset automatically, after passing
the time given by P206.
After the auto-reset, if the same error occurs again three times
consecutively, the auto-reset function will be inhibited. If an error
appears again up to 30 seconds after the auto-reset is executed,
it is considered to be a reoccurrence,
Therefore, if an error occurs four times consecutively, this error
will continue being indicated (and the Soft-Starter will continue to
be disabled) permanently.

Copy function
Table 6.5 - Copy function
Procedure to be used to copy the parameterization of Soft-
Starter A to Soft-Starter B:
1. Connect the keypad to the Soft-Starter from which one wishes
to copy the parameters (Soft-Starter A – source).
2. Set P215=1 (copy) to transfer the parameters of Soft-Starter A
to the keypad. Press the key .
While the copy function is being processed, “COPY” appears on
the display. P215 returns automatically to 0 (Inactive) when the
transfer is concluded.
3. Remove the keypad from Soft-Starter (A).
4. Connect this same keypad to the Soft-Starter which one wishes
to transfer the parameters (Soft-Starter B – destiny).
5. Set P215=2 (paste) to transfer the contents of the non-volatile
memory of the keypad (EEPROM- containing the parameters of
Soft-Starter A) to Soft-Starter B. Press the key. While the
keypad is processing the paste function, “PAST”, an abbreviation
of paste, will appear on the display. When P215 returns to 0 and
is reset, the transfer of the parameters will be concluded. From
this moment on, Soft-Starters A and B will have the same
parameter contents.
Please remember:
If Soft-Starters A and B command different motors, please check
the motor parameters of Soft-Starter A and B.
For copying the parameter contents of Soft-Starter A to other Soft-
Starters, repeat procedures 4 and 5 above.
