F011 =  Initial Voltage of Ramp 1 
Factory Setting = 60% 
Range = 0 - 100% 
Sets the initial voltage of Ramp 1 when F010 = 1 or 3. The 
initial voltage level should be set to provide just enough torque 
to make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque 
shock damage to mechanical components. 
 
F012 =  Initial Current of Ramp 1 
Factory Setting = 200% 
Range = 0 - 600% 
Sets the initial current of Ramp 1 when F010 = 2 or 4. The 
initial current level should be set to provide just enough torque 
to make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque 
shock damage to mechanical components. 
 
F013 =  Accel Ramp Time of Ramp 1 
Factory Setting = 10 seconds 
Range = 1 - 120 seconds 
Sets the time between the initial value set with F011 or F012 
and either the Max Current Limit set with F014 or full output 
voltage. Set the time to enable soft starts without stalls. Also, 
consider the motor’s application. For example, centrifugal 
pumps may require a shorter ramp time. 
 
  Note:  
Acceleration time is affected by the following conditions: 
1.  Reducing the Current Limit setting will extend the acceleration time 
if the motor reaches full speed prematurely. 
2.  The anti-oscillation circuit may shorten the ramp time if the motor 
reaches full speed before the programmed ramp time has expired. 
 
 
F014 =  Max Current Limit of Ramp 1  
Factory Setting = 350% 
Range = 200 - 600% 
Sets the maximum motor current that the TE2 Series starter will 
allow during Ramp 1. This limit applies to both voltage and 
current ramping. Current will be limited to this setting until either 
the motor reaches full speed or the overload protection feature 
trips (F003).
