Soft Starter Operation:
The Soft Starter is now ready to operate via the 2-Wire or 3-Wire Control that was set up in the previous steps.
To start the motor, press the “Start Button” and the Soft Starter will accelerate up to speed (default acceleration time is
20sec). When full voltage is reached the internal bypass contactors will engage and switch the motor to the supply line.
To stop the motor, press the “Stop Button” and the Soft Starter will decelerate to the stop position (default deceleration
time is “Off” so the motor will coast to rest). For details on setting deceleration time and other trim-pots refer to Chapter 4
in the SSW07 User’s Guide.
Fault Codes:
Optional HMI:
When a fault is detected, the soft starter is disabled and the Fault Code is displayed (example E03). To restart the soft
