SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ALARM – SAFETY – CAUTION
Power factor compensation capacitors.
The reactive compensation capacitors used to increase the power factor should be connected to the soft
starter input terminals and not to the output ones. These capacitors should be connected with an
additional contactor as shown in the electric connections section. The connection will be done only when
the soft starter is running and it will be disconnected during the acceleration and deceleration ramp.
Otherwise, the soft starter can be damaged.
When working in electric installations always remember to apply the 5 golden rules:
1. Visible cut of all the voltage sources.
2. Mechanic lock of every single cut elements.
3. Verify no voltage is present.
4. Earth ground and short circuit any possible voltage source.
5. Define and post sign the working area.

Keep clean the equipment,
not allowing lint, paper, wooden chips, dust, metallic chips or other
foreign matter (screws, pressure washers…) into the soft starter. Verify this point after the
installation.
