Manual Addendum for VMX-B Configured Soft Start Packages

For use with wiring diagram # 93-3880 Rev B (CB/FS), or 93-3881 Rev B (MLO), and VMX2 user manual.

Introduction: The VMX-B is a configured enclosed soft start, available as a Combination (with C/B or Fused disconnect) package, or as an MLO (Main Lug Only) package, intended for use in Industrial, Commercial, Agricultural, or Infrastructure applications.

Line Voltage:

By default units are set-up for 460VAC line power, but can be adjusted to operate on 230VAC or 208VAC at the reduced HP rating. To adjust the operating voltage simply move wire #1L2B from the 480V (H4) terminal to the 230V (H3) or 208V (H2) terminal.

Power Connections:

Line Power input is connected directly to the bottom terminals of the Circuit Breaker, or line terminals on MLO (Main Lug Only) units, and the motor is connected to the lugs at the bottom of the VMX2 soft start.

Remote Start / Stop Control connections:

The VMX-B is set up for 2 or 3 wire remote control using dry contacts rated at 120VAC (0.1Amp).

Remote Two Wire Control:

Connect a dry (voltage free) maintained contact closure between terminals 1 and 3 of the customer terminal strip as shown here.

Remote Three Wire Control:

For standard 3-wire control, connect dry (voltage free) contacts for the Stop / Start buttons as shown

below of the customer terminal strip. Connect the normally closed “STOP” pushbutton across terminals

1 & 2, and the normally open “START” pushbutton across terminals 2 & 3 of the customer terminal strip. Note: the unit can be operated in the “Local” position without any external control.

N/A

There are 3 programmable Aux contacts available on TB2 of the VMX2 soft start (2 form-C and 1 form-A). The function of these contacts are labeled on the wiring diagrams, but can be changed in the VMX2 programming. Note however, that the contacts may not function properly when operating in the X-LINE mode. (see description below).

X-LINE Operation: VMX-B packages are supplied with a SOFT/XLINE selector switch, located on the TCB3000

PCB that allows the operator to select Full Voltage operation of the motor via the bypass contactor for emergency operation when the soft start may be inoperable.

When operated in the X-LINE mode full

start/stop control is maintained, and the “Run

Status Output Contacts” will function correctly.

During X-LINE operation, the motor will be protected by the external Bi-Metal overload relay which must be set according to the motor FLA and the Current transformer ratio of the unit.

Important:

Motor FLA and Service Factor must be entered prior to a start attempt see next section on how to set Motor FLA and Service Factor parameters.

Run Status Output Contacts

See page 3. TCB3000 Terminal Control Board

Run Status Output Contacts

The VMX-B unit offers 2 Form-C (N.O and N.C.) “RUN” contacts located on the customer terminal strip, terminals 4 (NC), 5 (NO), 6 (Common), and terminals 7 (NC), 8 (NO) 9 (Common). These contacts reflect a successful RUN command in “SOFT” or “X-LINE” mode, and should be used for any required “Run / Running” status outputs.

*NOTES:

“PLd” can be caused by a Grounded delta power system. If one input leg measures ZERO volts to ground, reduce the setting of F051 to “0054” for operation on a “Grounded Delta”.

“SSd” can be caused by operating without a motor connected, ensure the motor is firmly connected. “LcA, Lcc, or Lcd” indicates that the Surge absorber is damaged; see NOTE 1 on wiring diagram.

VMX-B Door Mounted Operators

Illuminated E-Stop Pushbutton:

 Removes control power from all circuits and VMX2 soft start.  Push to activate, twist and pull to release.  Button Lights when E-stop is pressed.

Start/Stop Pushbutton and Run Light Assembly:

 Provides Start/Stop control in "Local" mode.  Provides "Motor Running" indication in all operating modes.

Local/Off/Remote Selector:

 Local" selects door mounted Start/Stop control.  Remote" selects Start/Stop control from customer supplied signals at terminals 1-3 on TBC.  Off' Turns motor off.

Power ON Light:  Indicates presence of 120VAC control power, derived from main (L1 & L2) line voltages.

Fault Light/Reset Pushbutton:

 When lit, indicates that the unit has tripped, and requires "Reset".  In "Soft" (normal) mode, the "trip" will be displayed on the VMX2 keypad (inside), and will reset

upon activation of the reset pushbutton.

 In "X-Iine" mode, the light indicates that the X-line overload inside the panel is tripped, and must be

reset manually by pressing the (green) reset key on the overload itself. Then the unit can be reset, using the pushbutton on the door.

Note: If the green reset key on the X-line overload is turned to the "A" (auto) position, the O/L relay will reset itself after the required cooldown, after that the unit can be reset by pushing the reset pushbutton without opening the enclosure door.
