Soft Start setup
1) Apply Main Line Power.
a. The LCD on the Smartrise board should come on.
b. Verify the Soft Start is not showing a fault.
2) SIEMENS:
a. If the Soft Start is a Siemens, it will display “Fault” on the LCD. If the
Soft Start displays a fault, refer to the provided Siemens manual for
troubleshooting.
b. If the initial fault is for an “out of line rotation” condition, remedy this
by swapping motor wires (T1 and T3 with power off) or change the
“line rotation” (ABC to CBA or vice versa) found in the Parameter
Menu of the Soft Start.
c. Proceed to “Troubleshooting” section if necessary.
3) SPRECHER + SCHUH:
a. Verify the motor line or delta configuration and ensure that DIP switch
15 on the Soft Starter reflects this configuration.
b. If the Soft Start faults out upon initial up run command, check for a
red-blinking LED on the Soft Start and count the number of times it
illuminates sequentially before a brief pause.
c. The most likely cause is a line rotation issue which can be resolved by
switching T1 & T3 motor leads or change DIP switch 9 on the soft
starter to its alternate position (refer to soft start manual for dip
switch location).
d. After changing the position of this switch, press the Reset Button
adjacent to the DIP switch group.
e. If problems persist, refer to the manual for all faults associated with
the light.
Troubleshooting
1) If the pump is too noisy or the motor is running in the wrong direction, it can
usually be fixed by swapping any two main lines.
2) If the car doesn’t move check the wiring and voltages to the valve coils.
3) At this point the car should be able to run using Construction Mode. Use this
mode to adjust your valves, install the traveler, tape, and the permanent
safety string.
