8.8.14 Group 13 - Slip ring motors
Selects whether to use a single or dual current ramp profile for soft starting. Set to single ramp for non-slip ring induction motors, or
dual ramp for slip-ring induction motors. Pr 13A selects the ramp configuration for the primary motor and Pr 13B selects the ramp
configuration for the secondary motor.
Sets the level of conduction while the rotor resistor closes, as a percentage of full conduction.
Set so that no current pulse occurs, but the motor retains enough speed to start correctly.
Sets the delay between the rotor resistance relay closing and the low resistance current ramp starting. Set so that the contactor has
enough time to close, but the motor does not slow down.
Pr 13D only applies if Pr 13A or 13B is set to 'Dual Ramp', and an output relay is set to 'Changeover Contactor'.
8.8.15 Group 14 - RTD/PT100
The Digistart IS has one RTD/PT100 input and can be fitted with another six PT100 inputs by using the RTD/PT100 and ground
fault protection card. The inputs can trip the soft starter when the temperature exceeds a specified point, and different trip
temperatures can be set for each input.
PT100 inputs B to G are only available if the RTD/PT100 and ground fault protection card has been installed.
Sets the trip points for the RTD/PT100 inputs.
8.8.16 Group 15 - Restricted
Sets the access code to control access to restricted sections of the menus.
Use the and M buttons to select which digit to alter and use the and buttons to change the value.
In the event of a lost access code, contact your supplier for a master access code that allows you to re-program a new
access code.
Selects whether the soft starter will permit emergency run operation. In emergency run, the soft starter will start (if not already
running) and continue to operate until emergency run ends, ignoring stop commands and trips.
Emergency run is controlled using a programmable input.
To stop the Emergency Run function set Pr 3A to 'Emergency Stop' (this is the default setting).
Continued use of Emergency Run is not recommended. Emergency Run may compromise the starter life as all
protections and trips are disabled.
Using the starter in Emergency Run mode will void the product warranty.
Selects whether the keypad will allow parameters to be changed via the Programming Menu.
