S611 Soft Starter    MN03902011E—May 2012    www.eaton.com 25
Setup
After all power and control connections have been made and you have read and understood the 
different operating modes and protection features of the soft starter, set the Operations and 
Protection parameters for your application. In many cases, only the Motor FLA parameter requires 
adjustment to the proper value, and all other parameters may be used with the default values for 
the initial Start. Review the Advanced Protection options of the S611 shown in Appendix B—
Protection and select the appropriate ones for your application. 
Initial Configuration
1. The S611 Operation and Protection parameters may be edited using only 120 Vac control 
power applied to 120 Vac Supply (TB1). Mains power is not required to edit and save 
Operation and/or Protection parameters.
If any 120 Vac power source other than the normal system control power source is used to 
power the control circuit to edit parameters, connections must be made in compliance with all 
local, state, and national electrical codes. 
2. In the Operation mode, set the operating parameters to the desired values. These settings 
assume the motor has a 1.15 service factor.
