Danger!
Dangerous electrical voltage!
Before commencing the installation
• Disconnect the power supply of the device.
• Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally retriggered.
• Verify isolation from the supply.
• Ground and short-circuit.
• Cover or enclose neighbouring units that are live.
• Follow the engineering instructions (IL) of the device
concerned.
• Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this device/
system.
• Before installation and before touching the device ensure
that you are free of electrostatic charge.
• The functional earth (FE) must be connected to the
protective earth (PE) or to the potential equalizing.
The system installer is responsible for implementing this
connection.
• Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so
that inductive or capacitive interference do not impair the
automation functions.
• Install automation devices and related operating elements
in such a way that they are well protected against unintentional operation.
• Suitable safety hardware and software measures should
be implemented for the I/O connection so that a cable or
wire breakage on the signal side does not result in
undefined states in the automation device.
• Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the low voltage for
the 24 V supply. Only use power supply units complying
with IEC 60364-4-41 or HD 384.4.41 S2 (VDE 0100 part 410).
• Deviations of the mains voltage from the nominal value
must not exceed the tolerance limits given in the technical
data, otherwise this may cause malfunction and
dangerous operation.
• Emergency-Stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60204-1
must be effective in all operating modes of the automation
devices. Unlatching the emergency switching off devices
must not cause restart.
• Built-in devices for enclosures or cabinets must only be
run and operated in an installed state, desk-top devices or
portable devices only when the housing is closed.
• Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of
programs interrupted after a voltage dip or failure. This
Eaton Industries GmbH
should not cause dangerous operating states even for a
Safety instructions
short time. If necessary, emergency switching off devices
should be implemented.
• Wherever faults in the automation system may cause
damage to persons or property, external measures must
be implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the
event of a fault or malfunction (for example, by means of
separate limit switches, mechanical interlocks, etc.).
• During operation, and depending on their degree of
protection, variable frequency drives may have live,
uninsulated, moving, and/or rotating parts, as well as hot
surfaces.
• The impermissible removal of the required cover,
improper installation or incorrect operation of the motor or
variable frequency drive can cause the failure of the
device and serious injury and/or material damage.
• Comply with all applicable national accident prevention
regulations (e.g. BGV A3) when working with energized
variable frequency drives.
• The electrical installation must be carried out in
accordance with the relevant regulations (e.g. with regard
to cable cross sections, fuses, PE).
• All transport, installation, commissioning and maintenance work must only be carried out by trained personnel
(observe IEC 60364, HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and national
accident prevention regulations).
• If applicable, systems in which variable frequency drives
are installed must be equipped with additional monitoring
and protective devices in accordance with the applicable
safety regulations, e.g., the German Equipment and
Product Safety Act, accident prevention regulations, etc.
Making changes to the variable frequency drives by using
the operating software is allowed.
• Keep all covers and doors closed during operation.
• When designing the machine, the user must incorporate
mechanisms and measures that limit the consequences of
a drive controller malfunction or failure (an increase in
motor speed or the motor’s sudden stop) so as to prevent
hazards to people and property, e.g.:
– Additional stand-alone devices for monitoring parame-
ters that are relevant to safety (speed, travel, end
positions, etc.)
– Electrical and non-electrical safety devices (interlocks
or mechanical locks) for mechanisms that protect the
entire system
– Due to the possibility of there being capacitors that are
still holding a charge, do not touch live device parts or
terminals immediately after disconnecting the variable
frequency drives from the supply voltage. Heed the
corresponding labels on the variable frequency drives

0.7 Mains supply voltages
The rated operating voltages stated in the following table are based on the
standard values.
In ring networks (as found in Europe) the rated operating voltage at the
transfer point of the power supply companies is the same as the value in the
consumer networks (e.g. 230 V or 400 V).
In star networks (as found in North America), the rated operating voltage at
the transfer point of the utility companies is higher than in the consumer
network.
Example: 120 V → 115 V, 240 V → 230 V, 480 V → 460 V.
The wide tolerance range of the DS7 soft starters allows for voltage drops of
10% and a voltage drop of additional 4 %, as well as an excess voltage of
10 % that are permissible in consumer supply networks.
The rated mains voltage operational data is always based on mains
frequencies of 50/60 Hz (50 Hz - 5 % – 60 Hz +5 %).

The devices of the DS7 series
•are not devices for household use, and are designed exclusively for use
in commercial applications,
•can be used in the described system configurations in the industrial
environment,
•are not machines in the sense of the EC Machinery Safety Directive,
•comply in a typical drive configuration with the requirements of the EU
EMC Directive, the EU Low Voltage Directive, as well as the specified
standards.
The soft starters of the DS7 series are electrical apparatus for installation in
the control panels of electrical systems or machines. They are designed for
the soft starting of single-phase or three-phase AC motors mounted in a
machine or for assembly with other machine or plant components.
If installed in machines, the soft starters must not be commissioned until it
has been determined that the corresponding machines comply with the
safety requirements in Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Standard EN 60204
must be complied with within this context. Commissioning is only permitted
if the requirements of the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) have been observed.
The soft starters of the DS7 series meet the requirements of the Low
Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and the product standard EN 60947-4-2.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the use of the relevant machines,
as well as the corresponding applications, complies with all applicable EC
Directives. Any other usage constitutes improper use.

Observe the technical data and connection requirements. These are shown
on the rating plate of the soft starter as well as in this documentation.
1.9 Maintenance and inspection
DS7 soft starters will be maintenance-free provided that the corresponding
general rated operational data, as well as all specific technical data
(→ section 1.7, “Technical data”) for the relevant versions, is observed.
However, please note that external factors may have an impact on the
operation and lifespan of DS7 soft starters.
We therefore recommend that the devices are checked regularly and the
following maintenance measures are carried out at the specified intervals.
Table 8: Maintenance measures and maintenance intervals
Maintenance measuresMaintenance interval
Clean cooling vents (cooling slits)
Check the fan function
Filter in the control panel doors

At the output of a DS7 soft starter (terminals U, V, W) you must
not
•connect any capacitive load (e.g. phase compensation
capacitors),
•do not connect any further soft starters (parallel connection
on output side).

DS7 soft starters are not designed in such a way as to allow for the
replacement or repair of their individual components or sub-assemblies.
DS7 soft starters use phase control for controlling the voltage of the supply
network smoothly from an adjustable start value up to 100 % of the rated
value U
. This voltage control enables the inrush current of a three-phase
LN
asynchronous motor to be limited and its starting torque to be considerably
reduced. This enables a smooth and jerk-free increase in torque, adjusted to
the load behavior of the machine.
