Diagnostic Functions

Overview

Use diagnostic functions to find the state of the TeSys H motor starter and
understand the cause of tripping. When there is a detected error or trip condition,
the device is in a safe, disconnected state.

Internal errors cannot be reset and are stored in the device. If more than 14
internal errors are detected, you can no longer operate the device.

Before you can leave the safe, disconnected state, you must reset the trip
condition. To reset an external error, push the SET/RESET button and release it
within 2 s.

The tables in this section describe the combination of LED states, position of
signaling contacts, and reset possibilities, in normal conditions and trip or error
conditions. The following symbols indicate whether an LED is on, off, or flashing.

Maximum Operating Rate for AC53A Duty

Overview

Due to the effect of the peak current on the TeSys H monitoring circuit during the
starting time, a stop/start sequence should not occur before a certain amount of
time. The diagrams below show the minimum duty cycle according to the total
period for two typical starting time values.

Starting time of 100 ms

Example for starting time of 100 ms with period T = 10 s.

Starting time of 150 ms
