IMPORTANT WARNING
Failure to read and comply with this manual may result in damage to the EnviroStart
Unit and driven equipment and may render the warranty invalid.
1. Only a competent electrician should carry out the electrical installation.
2. EnviroStart must be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the
earthing terminal.
3. Before installation check the motor rating plate and Section Two of this manual
to ensure that the EnviroStart is correctly rated for the application.
4. Internal components and areas of the control circuit boards, (except the isolated
I/O terminals), can be at mains potential when the EnviroStart is connected to a
three-phase supply. The voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or
severe injury if you come into contact with it.
5. When the EnviroStart is connected to the mains, the output connections U, V and
W should be treated as being live even if the load is not being driven.
6. The control I/O terminals are isolated from mains potential but the relay outputs
may have dangerous voltages present even if the mains are not connected.
7. Do not make any connections when the EnviroStart is connected to live mains.
8. Do not make voltage withstand tests on any part of the EnviroStart without
isolating the unit.
9. Do not touch IC-circuits on the PCB. Certain items are static-sensitive and static
voltage discharge may destroy the components.
10. Make sure no power-factor correction capacitors are connected to the load cable
except in a safe manner. (See body text of this document for details).
11. Make sure the cover is closed before applying mains voltage to the EnviroStart.
12. Updated and current Installation and Commissioning Guides are maintained on
the EMS (European) web site at http://www.EnviroStart.com; always check the
web site for latest issue documents before commencing installation.

1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the EnviroStart Single Phase Motor Energy Control. The system
has been designed with ease of use and set up in mind. The majority of applications will
operate effectively without the need to make any changes to the default settings however
should such changes be necessary please do read through this Installation and
Commissioning Guide so as to better understand the effects of the changes you are making,
be aware of the fact that changing things like start up pedestal voltage can impact the time it
takes for a motor to get to full speed as such controllable features are inter-related.
EnviroStart has also been designed to provide a long life; components have been selected
with reliability in mind and have generally been over-rated for the power of the unit
manufactured. Using the standard IQA, (Institute of Quality Assurance), methodologies the
expected lifetime of EnviroStart is rated at 100,000 hours continuous use, (eleven and a half
years),
In the unlikely event that you do need further support please contact your local EMS
(European) Distributor or failing that contact us directly either by e-mail or fax. All details of
how to contact us are available on our web site at http://www.EnviroStart.com, please
remember that we are constantly updating documentation and information about
EnviroStart, all such information is posted and publicly available on the web site.
1.1 FEATURES
The EnviroStart is a high specification digital Soft-Start, Motor Energy Control available in
models suitable for motors up to 15A.
In addition to the provision of a soft-start, the EnviroStart MEC incorporates state of the art
Motor Energy Control technology to substantially reduce the electricity consumption of
synchronous electric induction motors whilst they are operating at less than their full load
capacity.
CONFIGURABLE ENERGY CONTROL , (BOTH FULLY AUTOMATIC AND PRESET)
SWITCHABLE SOFT START
DOL START TO OVERCOME HIGH INTERTIA LOADS
SECONDARY BY-PASS CONNECTORS BUILT INTO UNIT
FULL SYSTEM STATUS LED's
SIMPLE TO INSTALL AND COMMISSION
RUGGED HOUSING, IP43, NEMA 1. (Can be fitted into cabinet to increase to IP 65)
110V & 220V, 50/60Hz MODELS AVAILABLE

2 CORRECT ENVIROSTART SELECTION
The EnviroStart must be rated according to the motor rated current (FLC).
However, on certain applications it may be necessary to oversize the unit to cope with the
maximum operating parameters associated with particularly heavy-duty operations such as
high repetitive on-load starts or elevated ambient operating conditions. (For this see derating details shown on relevant specification sheets).
Please note that these environmental factors (temperature, ventilation, altitude, ambient
temperature & relative humidity) do affect sizing and failing to take proper notice of such
conditions will invalidate any warranty associated with the system as supplied. Where the
EnviroStart is expected to operate outside the normal specifications and you are uncertain
as to the selection of a unit please contact EMS (European) or your local Distributor, we will
always be happy to assist to ensure your application is correctly supported.
IMPORTANT NOTE
THE ENVIROSTART MOTOR ENERGY CONTROL IS A SOPHISTICATED SOLID STATE
MOTOR SOFT START AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH A RANGE OF
INBUILT PROTECTION DEVICES AND MONITORING SYSTEMS IT IS HOWEVER NOT
A REPLACEMENT FOR PROPERLY RATED CURRENT OVERLOADS AND FUSES
WHICH SHOULD BE FITTED FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION OF THE MOTOR.
