The MX
control has an advanced I2t electronic motor overload (OL) protection function. For optimal motor protection the MX3control
has forty standard NEMA style overload curves available for use. Separate overloads can be programmed, one for acceleration and
another for normal running operation. The overloads can be individual, the same or completely disabled if necessary. The MX
overload function also implements a NEMA based current imbalance overload compensation, RTD Biasing, user adjustable hot and cold
motor compensation and user adjustable exponential motor cooling.

The motor overload will NOT trip when the current is less than motor Full Load Amps (FLA) * Service Factor (SF).
The motor overload "pick up" point current is at motor Full Load Amps (FLA) * Service Factor (SF).
The motor overload trip time will be reduced when there is a current imbalance present.
z NOTE: Refer to Theory of Operation, Chapter 7 in section 7.1 for more motor overload details and a larger graph.

3.1Before You Start
3.1.1Installation Precautions
Inspection
Before storing or installing the RediStart MX
Remove the starter from its package and inspect exterior for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, notify the shipping agent and
•
your sales representative.
Open the enclosure and inspect the starter for any apparent damage or foreign objects. Ensure that all of the mounting hardware and
•
terminal connection hardware is properly seated, securely fastened, and undamaged.
Ensure all connections and wires are secured.
•
Read the technical data label affixed to the starter and ensure that the correct horsepower and input voltage for the application has
•
been purchased.
The numbering system for a chassis is shown below.
General Information
Installation of some models may require halting production during installation. If applicable, ensure that the starter is installed when
production can be halted long enough to accommodate the installation. Before installing the starter, ensure:
The wiring diagram (supplied separately with the starter) is correct for the required application.
•
The starter is the correct current rating and voltage rating for the motor being started.
•
All of the installation safety precautions are followed.
•
The correct power source is available.
•
The starter control method has been selected.
•
The connection cables have been obtained (lugs) and associated mounting hardware.
•
The necessary installation tools and supplies are procured.
•
The installation site meets all environmental specifications for the starter NEMA/CEMA rating.
•
The motor being started has been installed and is ready to be started.
•
Any power factor correction capacitors (PFCC) are installed on the power source side of the starter and not on the motor side.
•
Failure to remove power factor correction or surge capacitors from the load side of the starter will result in serious damage to the starter
that will not be covered by the starter warranty. The capacitors must be connected to the line side of the starter. The up-to-speed (UTS)
contact can be used to energize the capacitors after the motor has reached full speed.
3
Series Starter, thoroughly inspect the device for possible shipping damage. Upon receipt:
3.1.2Safety Precautions
To ensure the safety of the individuals installing the starter, and the safe operation of the starter, observe the following guidelines:
•
Ensure that the installation site meets all of the required environmental conditions (Refer to Site Preparation, page 29).
•
LOCK OUT ALL SOURCES OF POWER.
•
Install circuit disconnecting devices (i.e., circuit breaker, fused disconnect or non-fused disconnect) if they were not previously
installed by the factory as part of the package.
•
Install short circuit protection (i.e., circuit breaker or fuses) if not previously installed by the factory as part of the package.
•
Consult Power Ratings for the fault rating on pages 19-21.
•
Follow all NEC (National Electrical Code) and/or C.S.A. (Canadian Standards Association) standards or Local Codes as applicable.
•
Remove any foreign objects from the interior of the enclosure, especially wire strands that may be left over from installation wiring.
•
Ensure that a qualified electrician installs wiring.
•
Ensure that the individuals installing the starter are wearing ALL protective eyewear and clothing.
•
Ensure the starter is protected from debris, metal shavings and any other foreign objects.
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, current carrying parts and other components of the starter should be inspected and replaced if damaged.
28
3.2Installation Considerations
3.2.1Site Preparation
General Information
Before the starter can be installed, the installation site must be prepared. The customer is responsible for:
Providing the correct power source
•
Providing the correct power protection
•
Selecting the control mechanism
•
Obtaining the connection cables, lugs and all other hardware
•
Ensuring the installation site meets all environmental specifications for the enclosure NEMA rating
•
Installing and connecting the motor
•
Power Cables
The power cables for the starter must have the correct NEC/CSA current rating for the unit being installed. Depending upon the model,
the power cables can range from a single #14 AWG conductor to four 750 MCM cables. (Consult local and national codes for selecting
wire size).
Site Requirements
The installation site must adhere to the applicable starter NEMA/CEMA rating. For optimal performance, the installation site must meet
the appropriate environmental and altitude requirements.
3.2.2EMC Installation Guidelines
GeneralIn order to help our customers comply with European electromagnetic compatibility standards, Benshaw Inc. has
developed the following guidelines.
3 - INSTALLATION
Installation Considerations
AttentionThis product has been designed for Class A equipment. Use of the product in domestic environments may cause radio
EnclosureInstall the product in a grounded metal enclosure.
GroundingConnect a grounding conductor to the screw or terminal provided as standard on each controller. Refer to layout/power
WiringRefer to Wiring Practices on page 31.
FilteringTo comply with Conducted Emission Limits (CE requirement), a high voltage (1000V or greater) 0.1 uF capacitor
3.2.3Use of Power Factor Capacitors
Power factor correction capacitors and surge capacitors CAN NOT be connected between the starter and the motor. These devices can
damage the SCRs during ramping. These devices appear like a short circuit to the SCR when it turns on, which causes a di/dt level
greater than the SCR can handle. If used, power factor correction capacitors or surge capacitors must be connected ahead of the starter
and sequenced into the power circuit after the start is completed. A programmable relay can be configured as an up-to-speed (UTS) relay
and then used to pull-in a contactor to connect the capacitors after the motor has reached full speed.
z NOTE: If the motor manufacturer supplies surge capacitors they must be removed before starting.
3.2.4Use of Electro-Mechanical Brakes
If an electro-mechanical brake is used with the starter, it must be powered from the line side of the starter to ensure full voltage is applied
to the brake during a start so it will properly release. A programmable relay can be configured as a run relay and then used to pull-in a
contactor to power the brake whenever the starter is providing power to the motor.
3.2.5Reversing Contactor
If the application requires a reversing contactor, it should be connected on the output side (load) of the soft starter. The contactor must
be closed before starting the soft starter. The soft starter must be off before switching the direction of the reversing contactor. The
reversing contactor must never be switched while the soft starter is operating.

Mounting Considerations
3.3Mounting Considerations
3.3.1Bypassed Starters
Provisions should be made to ensure that the average temperature inside the enclosure never rises above 50°C. If the temperature inside
the enclosure is too high, the starter can be damaged or the operational life can be reduced.
3.3.2Non-Bypassed Starters
Provisions should be made to ensure that the temperature inside the enclosure never rises above 50°C. If the temperature inside the
enclosure is too high, the starter can be damaged or the operational life can be reduced. As a general rule of thumb, the following
ventilation guidelines can be followed.

Table 13: Ventilation Requirements
The starter produces 4 watts of heat per amp of current and 26 square inches of enclosure surface is required per watt of heat generation.
Contact Benshaw and ask for the enclosure sizing technical note for more information concerning starters in sealed enclosures. Benshaw
supplies starters under 124 amps non-bypassed, with the heat sink protruding from the back of the enclosure. This allows a small
enclosure size while still maintaining the cooling capability of the starter.
30
3.4Wiring Considerations
3.4.1Wiring Practices
When making power and control signal connections, the following should be observed:
Never connect input AC power to the motor output terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W.
•
Power wiring to the motor must have the maximum possible separation from all other wiring. Do not run control wiring in the same
•
conduit; this separation reduces the possibility of coupling electrical noise between circuits. Minimum spacing between metallic
conduits containing different wire groups should be three inches (8cm).
Minimum spacing between different wiring groups in the same tray should be six inches.
•
Wire runs outside an enclosure should be run in metallic conduit or have shielding/armor with equivalent attenuation.
•
Whenever power and control wiring cross it should be at a 90 degrees angle.
•
Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
•
With a reversing application, the starter must be installed in front of the reversing contactors.
•
z NOTE: Local electrical codes must be adhered to for all wiring practices.
3.4.2Considerations for Control and Power Wiring
Control wiring refers to wires connected to the control terminal strip that normally carry 24V to 115V and Power wiring refers to wires
connected to the line and load terminals that normally carries 200VAC - 600VAC respectively. Select power wiring as follows:
Use only UL or CSA recognized wire.
•
Wire voltage rating must be a minimum of 300V for 230VAC systems and 600V (Class 1 wire) for 460VAC and 600VAC systems.
•
Grounding must be in accordance with NEC, CEC or local codes. If multiple starters are installed near each other, each must be
•
connected to ground. Take care to not form a ground loop. The grounds should be connected in a STAR configuration.
Wire must be made of copper and rated 60/75°C for units 124 Amps and below. Larger amp units may use copper or aluminum wire.
•
Refer to NEC table 310-16 or local codes for proper wire selection.
3 - INSTALLATION
Wiring Considerations
3.4.3Considerations for Signal Wiring
Signal wiring refers to the wires connected to the control terminal strip that are low voltage signals, below 15V.
• Shielded wire is recommended to prevent electrical noise interference from causing improper operation or nuisance tripping.
•
Signal wire rating should carry as high of a voltage rating as possible, normally at least 300V.
•
Routing of signal wire is important to keep as far away from control and power wiring as possible.
3.4.4Meggering a Motor
If the motor needs to be meggered, remove the motor leads from the starter before conducting the test. Failure to comply may damage the
SCRs and WILL damage the control board, which WILL NOT be replaced under warranty.
3.4.5High Pot Testing
If the starter needs to be high pot tested, perform a DC high pot test. The maximum high point voltage must not exceed 2.0 times rated
RMS voltage + 1000VAC (High pot to 75% of Factory). Failure to comply WILL damage the control board, which WILL NOT be
replaced under warranty. An example to find the high point voltage is (2.0 * rated RMS voltage + 1000) * 0.75.

3.6.4Motor Lead Length
Recommended Wire Gauges
The wire gauge selection is based on the FLA of the motor. Refer to NEC table 310-16 or CEC Part 1, Table 2 or local code
requirements for selecting the correct wire sizing. Ensure appropriate wire derating for temperature is applied. If more than three current
carrying conductors are in one conduit, ensure NEC table 310.15(B)(2) or CEC Part 1 Table 5C is adhered to. In some areas local codes
may take precedence over the NEC. Refer to your local requirements.
Attach the motor cables:
Use the T1, T2 and T3 terminals. Use lugs/crimps or terminals. (Lugs and Crimps are to be provided by the user)
•
Attach the power source cables:
Use the L1, L2 and L3 terminals. Use lugs/crimps or terminals (Lugs and Crimps are to be provided by the user).
•
The standard starter can operate a motor with a maximum of 2000 feet of properly sized cable between the “T” leads of the starter and
that of the motor. For wire runs greater than 2000 feet contact Benshaw Inc. for application assistance. If shielded cable is used, consult

3.7.1CT Mounting
For starters larger than 124 amps, the CTs are shipped loose from the power stack and need to be mounted on the power wiring. Thread
the motor or incoming lead through the CT with the polarity mark towards the line side. (The polarity marks may be a white or yellow
dot, an “X” on the side of the CT, or the white wire.) Each phase has its own CT. The CT must then be attached to the power wiring, at
least three inches from the power wire lugs, using two tie-wraps.
Table 17: Tightening Torque for Inside Hex Screws
Socket size across flatsTightening torque
3.7.2CT Polarity
The CT has a polarity that must be correct for the starter to correctly measure Watts, kW Hours, Power Factor, and for the Power and
TruTorque motor control functions to operate properly.
Each CT has a dot on one side of the flat surfaces. This dot, normally white in color, must be facing in the direction of the line.
CT1 must be on Line L1, CT2 must be on Line L2, CT3 must be on Line L3.

3.13.1Location
The mounting location for the Remote RTD Module should be chosen to give easy access to the RTD wiring, control terminals and
indicator LEDs as well as providing a location to mount the power supply. The Remote RTD Module is specifically designed to be
mounted close to the equipment it is monitoring. This eliminates long RTD wire lengths which save time and money on installation and
wiring. The Benshaw Remote RTD Module is designed to mount on industry standard 35mm wide by 7.5mm deep DIN rail.
Figure 29: Remote RTD Module Mechanical Layout
3.13.2Modbus Address
Set the rotary switch on the top of the Remote RTD Module to the desired Modbus address. Up to 2 modules can be connected to the
3
MX
starter. The address set by the rotary switch must match the setting in RTD 01 or RTD 02. For example, setting both the rotary
switch and RTD 01 to 16 would make the connected module be module #1. The connected RTDs would then represent #1 to #8 in the
RTD programming.
3.13.3Power Connections
The 24VDC power source is connected to the following terminals.
•
24VDC-: Negative connection to 24VDC power supply
•
24VDC+: Positive connection to 24VDC power supply
•
"g": Chassis ground connection
50
3.13.4RS-485 Communication
The RS-485 communications wiring should use shielded twisted pair cable. The shield should only be terminated at one end. The
connections are as follows:
Each Remote RTD Module has connections for up to 8 RTDs. The terminals for the RTD wires are as follows:
R- RTD return wire
•
C- RTD compensation wire
•
H- RTD hot wire
•
Each RTD is connected to the three terminals with the common number. For example, RTD number 5 connects to the terminals
numbered 5R, 5C and 5H.

5 - PARAMETER GROUPS
Introduction
5.1Introduction
The MX3incorporates a number of parameters that allow you to configure the starter to meet the special requirements of your particular
application.
The parameters are divided into groups of related functionality, and within the groups the parameters are identified by a short, descriptive
name. They are numbered by the group name followed by an index within the group.
This chapter lists all of the parameters and their possible values.
5.2LCD Display Parameters
The parameters are subdivided into six groups. The groups are QST (Quick Start), CFN (Control Functions), PFN (Protection
Functions), I/O (Input/Output Functions), RTD (Resistance Temperature Device), FUN (Function), FL1(Fault Log) and E01 (Event
Recorder).
The Quick Start Group provides a collection of the parameters that are most commonly changed when commissioning a starter. Many of
the parameters in the Quick Start group are duplicates of the same parameters in other groups.
The following shows the menu structure for the LCD display as well as the text that is displayed for the parameters on the display.
If the LCD is not connected, most parameters shown on the LED display will turn on when LCD is unplugged.

RangeOff,1–40(Default 10)
DescriptionThe Motor Running Overload Class parameter sets the class of the electronic overload for starting and
running if the Independent Starting / Running Overload parameter is set to "Off". If separate starting versus
running overload classes are desired, set the Independent S/R OL (PFN28) parameter to "On".
The starter stores the thermal overload value as a percentage value between 0 and 100%, with 0% representing
a “cold” overload and 100% representing a tripped overload.
When the parameter is set to "Off", the electronic overload is disabled in all states, starting and running. A
separate motor overload protection device must be supplied.
z NOTE: Care must be taken not to damage the motor when turning the running overload class off or setting
a high value.
z NOTE: Consult motor manufacturer data to determine the correct motor overload settings.

Range50–600%ofFLA(Default 100%)
DescriptionThe Initial Current 1 parameter is set as a percentage of the Motor FLA (QST01) parameter setting. The
Initial Current 1 parameter sets the current that is initially supplied to the motor when a start is commanded.
The initial current should be set to the level that allows the motor to begin rotating within a couple of seconds
of receiving a start command.
To adjust the initial current setting, give the starter a run command. Observe the motor to see how long it
takes before it begins rotating and then stop the unit. For every second that the motor doesn’t rotate, increase
the initial current by 20%. Typical loads require an initial current in the range of 50% to 175%.
If the motor does not rotate within a few seconds after a start command, the initial current should be increased.
If the motor accelerates too quickly after a start command, the initial current should be decreased.
The Initial Current 1 parameter must be set to a value that is lower than the Maximum Current 1 parameter
setting.

DescriptionThe Maximum Current 1 parameter is set as a percentage of the Motor FLA (QST01) parameter setting. This
parameter performs two functions. It sets the current level for the end of the ramp profile, as well as the
maximum current that is allowed to reach the motor after the ramp is completed.
If the ramp time expires before the motor has reached full speed, the starter holds the current at the maximum
current level until either the UTS timer expires; the motor reaches full speed, or the overload trips.
Typically, the maximum current is set to 600% unless the power system or load dictates the setting of a lower
maximum current.

QST: Ramp Time 1
0815 sec
Range0 – 300 seconds (Default 15)
DescriptionThe Ramp Time 1 parameter is the time it takes for the starter to allow the current, voltage, torque or power
(depending on the start mode) to go from its initial to the maximum value. To make the motor accelerate
faster, decrease the ramp time. To make the motor accelerate slower, increase the ramp time.
A typical ramp time setting is from 15 to 30 seconds.
If the ramp time expires before the motor reaches full speed, the starter maintains the maximum current level
until either the motor reaches full speed, the UTS timer expires, or the motor thermal overload trips.
z NOTE: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the motor will take this
time to accelerate to full speed. The motor and load may achieve full speed before the ramp time expires if
the application does not require the set ramp time and maximum current to reach full speed. Alternatively, the
motor and load may take longer than the set ramp time to achieve full speed.

Up To Speed TimeQST 09
LCD Display
QST: UTS Time
0920 sec
Range1 – 300 seconds (Default 20)
DescriptionThe Up To Speed Time parameter sets the maximum acceleration time to full speed that the motor can take. A
stalled motor condition is detected if the motor does not get up-to-speed before the up-to-speed timer expires.
The motor is considered up-to-speed once the current stabilizes below 175 percent of the FLA value and the
ramp time expires.
z NOTE: During normal acceleration ramps, the up-to-speed timer has to be greater than the sum of the
highest ramp time in use and the kick time. The up-to-speed timer does not automatically change to be greater
than the ramp time. If a ramp time greater than the up-to-speed timer is set, the starter will declare an
up-to-speed fault every time a start is attempted.
z NOTE: When the Start Mode parameter (CFN01) is set to "Voltage Ramp", the UTS timer acts as an
acceleration kick. When the UTS timer expires, full voltage is applied to the motor. This feature can be used
to reduce motor oscillations if they occur near the end of an open loop voltage ramp start.
z NOTE: When the starter type parameter (FUN07) is set to "Wye-Delta", the UTS timer is used as the
transition timer. When the UTS timer expires, the transition from Wye starting mode to Delta running mode
takes place if it has not already occurred.
Fault Code 01 - Up to Speed Fault is declared when a stalled motor condition is detected.

surges during starting. Ex: centrifugal pumps, fans, and belt driven equipment.
The closed loop power control acceleration ramp is ideal for starting applications using a generator or other
limited capacity source.
In addition to the basic motor and starter setup variables, the following needs to be done to use the tachometer
feedback control ramp:
1. Connect a tachometer with appropriate DC output voltage and correct polarity to the MX
power card input (TB5-2(+input), TB5-3(-input)).
2. The start mode (CFN01) is to be selected as Tach Ramp.

RangeOff, 100 – 800% of FLA (Default Off)
DescriptionThe Kick Level 1 parameter sets the current level that precedes any ramp when a start is first commanded.
The kick current is only useful on motor loads that are hard to get rotating but then are much easier to move
once they are rotating. An example of a load that is hard to get rotating is a ball mill. The ball mill requires a
high torque to get it to rotate the first quarter turn (90°). Once the ball mill is past 90°of rotation, the material
inside begins tumbling and it is easier to turn.
The kick level is usually set to a low value and then the kick time is adjusted to get the motor rotating. If the
kick time is set to more than 2.0 seconds without the motor rotating, increase the kick current by 100% and
re-adjust the kick time.

A coast to stop should be used when no special stopping requirements are necessary; Example: crushers, balls
mills, centrifuges, belts, conveyor. The bypass contactor is opened before the SCRs stop gating to reduce
wear on the contactor contacts.
Voltage Decel:
In this mode, the starter linearly phases-back the SCRs based on the parameters Decel Begin Level, Decel End
Level, and Decel Time.
TruTorque Decel:
In this mode, the starter linearly reduces the motor torque based on the Decel End Level and Decel Time.

DescriptionStop Mode (CFN15) set to Voltage Deceleration:
The voltage deceleration profile utilizes an open loop S-curve voltage ramp profile. The Decel Begin Level
parameter sets the initial or starting voltage level when transferring from running to deceleration. The
deceleration beginning level is not a precise percentage of actual line voltage, but defines a point on the
S-curve deceleration profile.
A typical voltage decel begin level setting is between 30% and 40%. If the motor initially surges (oscillates)
when a stop is commanded, decrease this parameter value. If there is a sudden drop in motor speed when a
stop is commanded, increase this parameter value.
Stop Mode (CFN15) set to TruTorque Deceleration:
Not used when the Stop Mode parameter is set to TruTorque Decel. The TruTorque beginning deceleration
level is automatically calculated based on the motor load at the time the stop command is given.
z NOTE: It is important that the FUN06 - Rated Power Factor parameter is set properly so that the actual
deceleration torque levels are the levels desired.

DescriptionStop Mode (CFN15) set to Voltage Deceleration:
The voltage deceleration profile utilizes an open loop S-curve voltage ramp profile. The Decel End Level
parameter sets the ending voltage level for the voltage deceleration ramp profile. The deceleration ending
level is not a precise percentage of actual line voltage, but defines an ending point on the S-curve deceleration
profile.
A typical voltage decel end level setting is between 10% and 20%. If the motor stops rotating before the
deceleration time has expired, increase this parameter value. If the motor is still rotating when the
deceleration time has expired, decrease this parameter value. If the value is set too low a “No Current at Run”
fault may occur during deceleration.
z NOTE: The deceleration end level cannot be set greater than the decel begin level.
Stop Mode (CFN15) set to TruTorque Deceleration
The decel end level parameter sets the ending torque level for the TruTorque deceleration ramp profile.
A typical TruTorque decel end level setting is between 10% and 20%. If the motor stops rotating before the
deceleration time has expired, increase this parameter value. If the motor is still rotating when the
deceleration time has expired, decrease this parameter value.

of the deceleration ramp profile. When in voltage decel mode, this time sets the time to ramp from the initial
decel level to the final decel level.
z NOTE: If the motor is not up to speed when a stop is commanded, the voltage decel profile begins at the
lower of either the decel begin level setting or at the motor voltage level when the stop is commanded.
Although the profile may be adjusted, the deceleration time remains the same.
When in the TruTorque deceleration mode, the decel time sets the time between when a stop is commanded
and when the decel end torque level is applied.
If the motor stops rotating before the decel time expires, decrease the decel time parameter. If the motor is
still rotating when the decel time expires, increase the decel time parameter.
A typical decel time is 20 to 40 seconds.
z NOTE: Depending on the motor load and the decel parameter settings, the motor may or may not be fully
stopped at the end of the deceleration time.

DescriptionWhen the Stop Mode (CFN15) is set to "DC brake", the DC Brake Level parameter sets the level of DC
current applied to the motor during braking. The desired brake level is determined by the combination of the
system inertia, system friction, and the desired braking time. If the motor is braking too fast the level should
be reduced. If the motor is not braking fast enough the level should be increased. Refer to Nema MG1, Parts
12 and 20 for maximum load inertia's. (It is required that a PTC Thermistor or RTD MUST be installed to
protect the motor.)
DC Brake Function Programming Steps:
1. The DC Brake function may be enabled by setting the stop mode (CFN15) to DC Brake.
88
6 - PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
2. Once this function is enabled, a relay output configuration ( I/O 10 - 15) must be
used to control the DC brake contactor or 7th SCR gate drive card during braking. It is
recommended to use Relay R3 - (I/O12) because it is a higher rated relay.
z NOTE: Standard duty braking
z NOTE: Heavy duty braking
z NOTE: When DC injection braking is utilized, discretion must be used when setting up the DC Brake
Level. Motor heating during DC braking is similar to motor heating during starting. Even though the Motor
OL is active (if not set to "Off") during DC injection braking, excessive motor heating could still result if the
load inertia is large or the brake level is set too high. Caution must be used to assure that the motor has the
thermal capacity to handle braking the desired load in the desired period of time without excessive heating.
z NOTE: Consult motor manufacturer for high inertia applications.
z NOTE: Not to be used as an emergency stop. When motor braking is required even during a power outage
an electro mechanical brake must be used.

a stop is commanded and the DC braking current is applied to the motor. This delay allows the residual
magnetic field and motor counter EMF to decay before applying the DC braking current. If a large surge of
current is detected when DC braking is first engaged increase the delay time. If the delay before the braking
action begins is too long then decrease the delay time. In general, low horsepower motors can utilize shorter
delays while large horsepower motor may require longer delays.

DescriptionThe Preset Slow Speed parameter sets the speed of motor operation. When set to "Off", slow speed operation
is disabled.
Slow speed operation is commanded by programming one of the digital inputs to either Slow Speed Forward
or Slow Speed Reverse. Energizing the Slow Speed Input when the starter is idle will initiate slow speed
operation.
z NOTE: When the motor is operating at slow speeds its cooling capacity can be greatly reduced. Therefore,
the running time of the motor at a given current level is dependant on the motor’s thermal capacity. Although
the Motor OL is active (if not set to "Off") during slow speed operation, it is recommended that the motor
temperature be monitored when slow speed is used for long periods of time.
