3. Press
or activate the start input. The EMX3 simulates its pre-start checks
and closes the main contactor relay. The Run LED flashes.

Protection Simulation
The protection simulation simulates activation of each protection mechanism to confirm that the soft starter and associated control
circuits are responding correctly.
To use the protection simulation:
1. Press
then
to open the Tools.
2. Scroll to Protection Simulation and press .
3. Use the and buttons to select the protection you want to simulate.
4. Press and hold to simulate the selected protection.
5. The screen is displayed momentarily. The soft starter's response depends on the
Protection Action setting (parameter group 16).
0.0A
Tripped
6. Use or to select another simulation, or press to exit.
If the protection trips the soft starter, reset before simulating another protection. If the protection action is set to 'Warn
and Log', no reset is required.
If the protection is set to 'Warn and Log', the warning message can be viewed only while the button is pressed.
If the protection is set to 'Log only', nothing appears on the screen but an entry will appear in the log.
