Smartstart® 6000
Basic Soft Starter Operation
The Zener Smartstart® is a reduced voltage controller
designed for starting standard 3 Phase induction motors.
The unit is solid state, using a microprocessor to control
inverse parallel (back to back) pairs of SCR’s.
An SCR/thyrisor is a semiconductor device that latches
when triggered. Once triggered it allows current to flow
in one direction only and turns off at zero current.
The firing angle of the SCR’s are controlled to achieve
the desired acceleration of the motor.
Soft Starters provide the following benefits:
1. Reduced stresses and wear on the mechanics
of the system
2. Reduced starting currents
3. Minimise voltage dips on the supply
4. Lowered Peak demand charges
5. Eliminate belt slippage on fans
6. Smooth acceleration of motor / load
Zener ‘SMART-TORQ®’ Torque Control
Feature
The Zener Smartstart® 6000 incorporates a closed loop
torque control system to provide better control over
starting & stopping 3 phase induction motors.
Conventional voltage ramp control systems typically
produce low torque at low speeds. When starting &
stopping variable torque loads (e.g Pumps) this can
results in a very rapid acceleration or deceleration with a
non linear change in motor speed.
The Smarstart® 6000 series overcomes these issues by
regulating the torque in the motor to match the load
type during the acceleration & deceleration. This
essentially allows a constant torque to be produced in
the motor. The continual monitoring of the motor
characteristics during the ramp also allows
instantaneous adjustment of the starter output to allow
for changes in load conditions.
The ‘SMART-TORQ®’ control system provides smooth
starting & stopping, allowing ramp profiling to produce a
linear acceleration and deceleration of the motor speed.
There are many benefits with variable torque loads such
a pumps and fans by achieving a linear ramp profile and
greater control over deceleration. With pump
applications this provides better control to minimise
water hammer problems.
SMART-TORQ Benefits include:
1. A true linear acceleration of the load and motor
for all load types.
2. Reduced peak inrush starting currents.
3. Reduced stresses and wear on the mechanics of
the system
4. Ramp profiling to better match type of load such
as variable torque loads. Better control of
pumps and fans, without rapid initial ramp but
linear ramp.
5. Reduced heating in motor at low speeds.
6. No instability due to changing power factor.
Closed loop system to monitor and react to
changing power factor.
7. No instability due to slot ripple in 3 wire and 6
wire operation.
8. Better control of deceleration through closed
loop torque control system.
The Smartstart® also offers user access to ramp profiling
parameters to fine tune the Torque Control System to
achieve more application specific performance
requirements. See Page 34 for more information.

Mechanical Installation
The Smartstart® should be installed by ualified
electrical personnel only. The following should be
considered when installing the Smartstart.
Mount in a vibration free environment.
Mount vertically and away from heat radiating
sources.
Do not mount in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
Mount in a suitable enclosure for the environment
in which it is to operate, the total heat dissipation
must be considered.
Do not drill holes into the Smartstart® enclosure.
Do not allow metal shavings or any other
conductive material to enter the enclosure or
damage may result.
Heat Dissipation
The Smartstart® is cooled by temperature controlled
internal fans. Installing a bypass contactor will reduce
the heat dissipated and the ventilation re uired. Soft
Starters generally dissipate approximately 4.5watts per
Amp when operated without a bypass contactor.
The heat dissipated can be calculated by;
Continuous Duty:
P = (FLC x 4.5)
Bypass Duty:
P = (FLC x SC x 4.5 x t x N) / 600
Where;
P = Power dissipated in Watts
FLC = Nameplate FLC of Motor
SC = Average starting current
expressed per unit of FLC
t = Starting time
N = Number of starts per hour
When installing the Smartstart® in an enclosure or
switch board it is necessary to consider the heat
dissipated and then the ventilation re uired.
The following formula’s will assist in determining
whether ventilation is re uired and how much.
Ventilated Enclosure:
V = ( .1 x P) / T
Where; V = Airflow re uired in m3/hour
P = Power dissipated in Watts
T = Temperature differential in °C
(inside – outside)
Non Ventilated Enclosure:
A = P / ( T x k)
Where; A = Exposed surface area of cabinet
in m2
P = Power dissipated in Watts
T = Temperature differential in °C
(inside – outside)
k = Heat transmission constant

Power Wiring
The Zener SS6000 is installed between the mains
and cable to the motor. If a mains or isolation
contactor is used it is best controlled by the SS6000
‘Line relay’.
Wire / 6wire: The standard connection of an
electronic soft starter is 3 wire. An alternative
connection is 6 wire or inside delta connection. This
is commonly used when replacing a star/delta type
motor starter.
Bypass / Continuous: The Smartstart® can
operate with or without a bypass contactor. Some
models include an integral bypass contactor. The
bypass contactor reduces the heat dissipation of
the soft starter as the semiconductors are bypassed
after the ramp time.
Select cables & install in compliance
with local regulations
Motor Protection:
The Smartstart 6000 provides advanced motor
protection with user selectable overload classes,
over & under current protection, phase imbalance
and thermistor protection. It is important that the
power wiring is followed correctly to ensure proper
protection and starter performance.
Refer to page 18 and 28 for more details regarding
motor protection.
Semiconductor Fuses
Semiconductor fuses are recommended for all
electronic soft starters to provide protection of the
thyristors in the event of an output short circuit.
Semiconductor fuses are strongly recommended for
applications such as submersible pumps.
Semiconductor fuses are optional with all models.
•For smaller models (15 – 80Amp) fuse kits
are available.
Refer to instruction sheet for more details
and dimensions.
•For larger models semiconductor fuse kits
are available.
•Refer to page 33 for more details on semi-

Using 6 wire Configuration
The Smartstart 6000 can be configured to operate in 6
wire mode. 6 wire mode may be the preferred method
due to:
1. Possible reduction in the size of starter
re uired, saving on space and /or cost.
2. Wiring may already be present if a start/delta
type starter was previously used.
3. Reduced motor cable size.
The major advantage is that the current in the SCR
is 58% less than it would be for the same motor
connected in 3 wire. The diagram below illustrates
how the motor is connected in 6 wire, also known
as inside delta.
The following illustrates the difference between 3 wire & 6
wire connection:
Current Monitoring & Torque Control:
For the tor ue control to operate correctly the C.T’s
need to monitor the ‘line’ current and not the ‘Phase’
currents. For this reason the C.T’s normally supplied
internally, need to be relocated external to the soft
starter.
It is critical that the C.T’s be installed in the correct
phase and in the correct direction. Page 12 provides
instructions as to where the C.T’s are to be located.

Relocating the Internal Current
Transformers for 6 wire operation.
The SS6000 comes standard with internal Current
Transformers (C.T’s) for monitoring the current
during acceleration, deceleration and when in
bypass.
It is important that the SS6000 be wired in a
manner to ensure the C.T’s are always monitoring
the motor current. For this reason 9 terminals are
provided. This is important to ensure continual
protection of the soft starter, the motor and the
load. The correct installation of the C.T’s is crucial
for optimum performance of the SS6000 tor ue
control system. In some situations such as 6 wire
operation, it may be necessary to relocate the
C.T’s external to the SS6000. For 6 wire operation
the C.T’s are to be installed on the incoming line
supply cables so that the line current is monitored
(not the phase currents).
The SS6000 can be purchased with C.T’s external
by ordering ‘ prepared for 6 wire’;
Part no. Description:
TF60015 Prepare for 6 wire: 6R100-220
TF60016 Prepare for 6 wire: 6R360-830
Installation of external C.T’s
When relocating the C.T’s external to the soft
starter it is important to ensure the following:
1. C.T’s are installed on L1 & L3
2. C.T’s are installed in correct direction
P1 label = line side
3. C.T’s are terminated with correct phasing.
S1 = Red
S2 = Black
The C.T’s supplied with the SS6000 has a label
which shows the correct phase and direction.
If the C.T’s are not installed correctly the SS6000
will display a fault or a ‘C.T Phase error’.
Check for correct installation
If a CT phase error occurs the problem may be
identify under the menu ‘Starter Diagnosis’. ‘+L1 /
+L3’ should be displayed.
> If L2 is displayed move the CT from L2 phase.
> If a “-“ is displayed, the direction of the
corresponding CT needs to be reversed.

C02 Current Limit:
The current limit is expressed as a percentage of
the entered motor Amps (FLC). This current limit
setting operates during the ramp time only and
will over-ride the torque settings. Reducing the
current limit will limit the torque available to the
motor and load. If set too low it may prevent the
motor from accelerating or reaching full speed.
Range: 1 0 to 4 0% FLC
Default: 4 0%

C11 Accel Time:
Adjust this to vary the time taken to ramp the
voltage to full supply voltage or the torque to
reach the ‘finish torque’. The accel time will
affect the actual current during starting – the
faster the rate of acceleration the higher the
start current.
Range: 1 to 60 seconds
Default: 10 s

C12 Start Torque:
The initial torque provided when a start is
initiated. Adjust to the lowest setting which
allows the motor to turn on a start command.
This is entered as a percentage of nominal
Torque (FLT). This setting will be dependent on
the torque required by the load.
Range: 1 % to 200%
Default: 30%
