Pump Soft Start
The MillipaK units may be fitted with a Pump Soft Start feature. This allows a pump motor (up to
120A) to be connected directly to the controller and eliminates the need for a contactor. It also has
the added benefit of providing a ‘soft start’ to the pump motor by gently ramping up the voltage
over a pre-determined period. After triggering the pump will remain active for as long as the
trigger input remains active or the pre-set timer expires, whichever is the shorter.
