5.6.8  Lockouts, Reset and Internal Protection Features 
F048 – F050provide lockout protection for motors and equipment that 
may have potentially damaging consequences from premature restart or 
with limited duty cycles. Time and count values for these lockouts can be 
viewed in F055 – F058. Time values are based on the Real Time Clock 
and DONOT reset when power is lost or disconnected. Emergency 
clearing of lockouts can be accomplished in F071. 
  Note:  
When F048 through F050 are used with 3 wire control systems, a 
Start command will not seal in during lockout time. When time has 
expired, a new Start command will be necessary. 
 
WARNING! 
When F048 through F050 are used with 2-wire
 control, the starter 
may re-start automatically when time has expired. Adequate 
warnings similar to those in Section 3.1.3.b should be observed. 
 
 
 
F048 =  Coast Down Lockout Timer (Back Spin Timer) 
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled) 
Range = 1 - 60 minutes, or 0 (Disabled)  
F048 = 1 - 60, sets the number of minutes that the starter must be off 
before a restart can be attempted. This function is useful in applications 
such as pump motor backspin protection (where you need to prevent the 
pump motor from restarting if it is spinning backwards), 2 speed 
operations where speed changes require a minimum disconnect (spin-
down timer), or reversing applications to prevent plugging (anti-plugging 
timer).  
F049 =  Maximum Starts per Hour Lockout 
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled) 
Range = 1 - 10 or 0 (Disabled) 
F049=1 - 10, counts the number of start commands within a 1 
hour period. If the setting (maximum starts per hour) is 
exceeded, starting is prohibited until sufficient time has expired. 
This timer initiates upon the first start in an hour. It resets after 1 
hour from that start and waits until another subsequent start to 
initiate again. This is often used in conjunction with F050. 
 
  Notes: 
  Consult the motor manufacturer for a “Starts-per-Hour” or “Starting 
Duty Cycle” rating. Larger motors tend to have lower starts-per-hour 
ratings.  
  When using the Decel function (F025) or an electronic braking 
option, count these cycles as additional “starts” when determining 
maximum starts-per-hour.
