DS7 series soft start controllers, Frame 1 (4–12A)
EATON CORPORATION www.eaton.com
Operations
24 Vac/Vdc, 110/230 Vac control voltage is applied to terminal U
•
s
Line voltage is applied to the starter by closing the mains
•
contactor
The soft start controller issues a RUN command by applying
•
24 Vac/Vdc, 110/230 Vac to terminal +A1. Contacts 13 and –A2
will close when the end of the ramp time is reached (TOR)
Bypass relays close at the end of ramp time + ~0.18 seconds. It is ote: N
important to correctly set the ramp time, so the bypass relays will close
within 5 seconds after the motor has achieved rated RPM.
To remove the RUN command, remove control voltage from
•
terminal +A1
If ramp STOP time is set to a value greater than 0 seconds, a
•
RAMP STOP will be performed
Adjusting the soft start controller parameters
There are three adjustments to the DS7 soft start controller:
t-Start = ramp time
•
u-Start = initial voltage (torque)
•
t-Stop = stop ramp time
