P13 Kick Level 1 CFN 10
LED Display LCD Display
Range Off, 100 – 800% of FLA (Default Off)
Description The Kick Level 1 parameter sets the current level that precedes any ramp when a start is first commanded.
The kick current is only useful on motor loads that are hard to get rotating but then are much easier to move
once they are rotating. An example of a load that is hard to get rotating is a ball mill. The ball mill requires a
high torque to get it to rotate the first quarter turn (90°). Once the ball mill is past 90° of rotation, the material
inside begins tumbling and it is easier to turn.
The kick level is usually set to a low value and then the kick time is adjusted to get the motor rotating. If the
kick time is set to more than 2.0 seconds without the motor rotating, increase the kick current by 100% and
re-adjust the kick time.

P14 Kick Time 1 CFN 11
LED Display LCD Display
Range 0.1 – 10.0 seconds (Default 1.0)
Description The Kick Time 1 parameter sets the length of time that the kick current level (P13 / CFN 10) is applied to the
motor.
The kick time adjustment should begin at 0.5 seconds and be adjusted by 0.1 or 0.2 second intervals until the
motor begins rotating. If the kick time is adjusted above 2.0 seconds without the motor rotating, start over
with a higher kick current setting.
z NOTE: The kick time adds to the total start time and must be accounted for when setting the UTS time.
