WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
VLT® Soft Starters contain dangerous voltages when connected to mains voltage. Models MCD5-0360C ~ MCD5-1600C: The bus bar and heat sink are live while the unit operates (starts, runs, or stops). If the soft starter is installed without a main contactor, the bus bar and heat sink are live whenever mains voltage is connected. This is also the case when the soft starter is ready or tripped. Improper installation of the motor or the soft starter, and installing or servicing with power connected, can cause death, serious injury, or equipment failure. To avoid death, serious injury, or equipment failure:
Only use qualied electricians for carrying out the
electrical installation.
Disconnect the soft starter from all power sources
before installation or service.

Treat the bus bar and heat sink as live whenever
the unit has mains voltage connected. Also take this precaution when the soft starter is tripped or waiting for a command.
Follow the guidelines in these instructions and local
electrical safety codes.
