Testing the Installation
The Digistart D3 can be connected to a small motor for testing. During this test, the soft starter's control input and
relay output protection settings can be tested. This test mode is not suitable for testing soft starting or soft stopping
performance.
The FLC of the test motor must be at least 2% of the soft starter's minimum FLC (see Minimum and Maximum
Current Settings on page 13).
NOTE
When testing the soft starter with a small motor, set Pr 1A Motor Full Load Current to the minimum
allowable value.
Output signal simulations
The following outputs are available to simulate:
• Programmable relay A
• Programmable relay B
• Programmable relay C
• Run relay
• Low Current Flag
• High Current Flag
• Motor Temperature Flag
• Analog output A
• Analog output B
NOTE
To test operation of the flags (motor temperature and low/high current), set an output relay to the
appropriate function and monitor the relay's behaviour.
To use the signal simulation:
1. Open the Menu and select Simulation.
2. Use the and buttons to select a function to simulate, then press
M
.
3. Use the and buttons to turn the signal on and off.
To confirm correct operation, monitor the state of the output.
