THE EMX3 IS THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT
IN SOFT STARTERS PROVIDING A
COMPLETE MOTOR STARTING AND
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
WITH AN IMPRESSIVE RANGE OF
FEATURES IN A SINGLE USER FRIENDLY
PACKAGE, NEVER BEFORE HAS MOTOR
CONTROL BEEN SO SIMPLE.
MORE CONTROL
Not only does the EMX3 soft starter
feature Constant Current and Current
Ramp, but the EMX3 is the world’s first
soft star ter to control acceleration. We
call it Adaptive Acceleration control.
According to your application require-
ments you can now select between early,
constant or late acceleration /decelera-
tion. This level of choice is only available
from AuCom.
More control means smar ter star ts and
smoother stops that reduce downtime
and eliminate water hammer problems.
EASY TO USE
The EMX3 is easy to use during installation,
commissioning, operation and even trouble
shooting.
Quick setup gets your machinery running
in nex t to no time, informative screens
advise your operator on the performance
of your motor and real language trip
messages pinpoint exactly where any
issues lie.
Options for control wiring from the
top, bot tom or left side provide greater
flexibility, plus unique wiring looms and
cable retainer s make for a faster, tidier
install. You’ll soon experience how easy
the EMX3 is to use.
FEATURE SET
The EMX3 is a smar t, dependable and
easy to use soft starter. New design
features make the EMX3 the perfect
solution for quick set-up or more
customised control, including:
• Large LCD screen with multi-language
feedback
• Remote mountable keypad station
• Intuitive programming
• Advanced start and stop control
functions
• A complete range of motor protection
features
• Extensive performance monitoring and
event logging

XLR- 8: ADAPTIVE
ACCELERATION CONTROL
AuCom’s new EMX3 soft starter
introduces a new generation in soft start
technology: XLR-8 Adaptive Acceleration
Control. XLR-8 gives you an unprecedented
level of control over your motor’s
acceleration and deceleration profiles.
Using XLR-8, the soft starter learns your
motor’s performance during star t and
stop, then adjusts control to optimise
performance. Simply select the profile
that best matches your load type and
the soft starter automatically ensures the
smoothest possible acceleration for your
load.
Contact your local distributor to see an
EMX3 demonstration today.
XLR-8: ADAPTIVE ACCELERATION CONTROL
THE EMX3 SIMPLIFIES THE INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION OF MOTOR STARTING SYSTEMS TO
REDUCE INSTALLATION COST AND TIME.
ADAPTIVE ACCELERATION PROFILE OPTIONS
Adapti ve acceleration offers three start and stop profiles according to your needs.
The EM X3 comes in a range of sizes to sui t the dema nds of your application. See rati ng and sizes for details.

METERING AND
MONITORING
The EMX3 delivers an ex tensive range
of information to replace an additional
powermeter (Amps, kW, kVA, pf ).
PROGRAM MULTIPLE UNITS
When programming multiple units,
simply plug the keypad into different
starters for immediate download of
your data. No fuss, no trouble – a
smoother star t in ever y sense.
EASY TO UNDERSTAND DISPLAY
REAL L ANGUAGE IN REAL TIME
AuCom wants to make your job easy, so
the EMX3 gives real-language feedback
messages, so you don’t have to look up
codes to know what’s happening. With
real-time metering displays and a 99-
place event log recording time-stamped
details of operation and performance, it
has never been easier to track how your
motor is behaving.
GRAPHICAL DISPL AY
In many cases we’ve done away with
language altogether, using real-time graphs
of motor operating performance and
current to quickly and clearly illustrate
exactly how your motor is per forming.
REMOTE DISPLAY MOUNTING
The keypad is easily mounted on the
exterior of your enclosure, using an
optional keypad mounting kit. When
mounting multiple soft starters in a
single enclosure, this allows centralised
control from a single location, with all the
relevant information. Mount a number
of displays next to each other for quick
diagnosis of problems. (IP65 when
mounted).

SMARTER STARTING
The EMX3 puts you in control of motor
starting. Depending on your application
requirements you can select the best soft
start control method.
For applications requiring precise control
of motor star t current the EMX3 offers
a choice of Constant Current or Current
Ramp star t modes. For superior control
over acceleration or deceleration choose
XLR-8 Adaptive Acceleration Control.
SMOOTHER STOPPING
XLR-8 also provides precise control over
soft stopping and is ideal for applications
requiring a smoother sof t stop. XLR-8 is
ideal for low inertia loads such as pumps
and conveyors, and can substantially reduce
or eliminate the effects of water hammer.
BRAKING
For high inertia loads, the EMX3
incorporates AuCom’s latest braking
algorithm, letting you take precise
control over the motor’s stopping time.
Shor ter stopping times help improve
your production efficiency by reducing
downtime between operating cycles.
ADVANCED OPERATION
To meet the unique requirements of your
application, the EMX3 offers a range of
advanced features. The EMX3 meets the
needs of specific applications including:
•Pumping(e.g.highheadapplications)
• Compressors(optimisingloadcontrol)
• Bandsaws(easybladealignment)
• Irrigators(built-intimer).
SIMULATIONS
Need to test the installation before
connecting a motor? The EMX3
simulation func tions let you test the soft
starter’s operation, external control
circuits and associated equipment
without connecting the soft starter to
line voltage or a motor. The EMX3 has
three simulation modes :
• Run simulation: simulates a motor
starting, running and stopping to
ensure correct installation.
• Protection simulation: simulates
activation of each protection
mechanism to confirm correct
protec tion response.
• Signalling simulation: simulates
output signalling.
EASY TO INSTALL, EASY TO OPERATE
EASIER INSTALLATION
If space is at a premium in your motor
control centre, the EMX3’s compact size
will save you space and trouble. Internal
bypass contactors, built-in monitoring and
indicators, and extensive on-board input
and output functionality reduce the need
for space and cost of external equipment,
as well as simplif ying installation.
REMOVABLE CONNECTORS &
UNIQUE WIRING LOOM
Installation is easy with plug-in control
terminal block s. Simply unplug each
block, complete the wiring and re-insert
the block.
Using the EMX3’s unique and flexible
cable ways, cables can be efficiently
organised for wiring from either the top,
left or from below.
FASTER COMMISSIONING
The EMX3 has been designed for ease of
use, and the user-friendly menu is no
exception. After a tidy installation, a
quick setup guide helps you configure
the star ter for common applications by
suggesting a typical setting, which you
can then fine tune to suit your needs, all
accessible from the easy to use keypad.

DeviceNet and Modbus RTU protocols,
via an easy-to-install communication
inter face module.
PC SOFTWARE
Using AuCom’s custom designed
WinMaster software you can control,
monitor and program your EMX3 from
your desk top computer.
INPUT/ OUTPUT CARD
These hardware expansion cards suit
users who require additional inputs and
outputs or advanced functions. Each
EMX3 can suppor t one expansion card.
The input/output expansion card adds:
• 2 x inputs
• 3 x relay outputs
• 1 x analog input
• 1 x analog output
RTD AND GROUND FAULT
The RTD and ground fault protection
card provides the following additional
inputs:
• 6 x PT100 RTD inputs
• 1 x ground fault input
To use ground fault protection a 1000 :1
5 VA current transfor mer is also
required.
FINGER GUARDS
This option ensures personnel safety
by preventing accidental contact with
live terminals The finger guard kit fits
the EMX3-0145B to EMX3-01000B and
provides IP20 protection when used with
22 mm plus size cables.
ADJUSTABLE BUS BAR
CONFIGURATION
The bus bars on models EMX3-0360C
~ EMX3-1600C can be adjusted for top

range of soft star ters and since then,
we have concentrated on fulfilling the
promise that we lead the world in soft
start technology and developing new
products to keep improving motor
performance.
We are proud of our attention to detail,
flexibility and engineering skill, and are
globally recognised as the world’s leading
specialist in sof t starters.
