1.2.1 The SAMMS-LV Device Models
The SAMMS-LV device is available in two models: SAMMS-LVE
and SAMMS-LVX. Each model meets the various demands of
industrial and commercial specifications and installations. Table
1.2 compares the features of each model.
The SAMMS-LV device is designed for critical process control
where prevention of downtime is critical. It offers motor control
and protection along with motor diagnostic and motor/driven
equipment protection. Engineering and operating personnel
have access to important data enabling them to optimize
motor-driven equipment capabilities, maximize the process
system output and facilitate maintenance.
SAMMS-LVX is a full function model, applicable to all control
needs, from a simple across-the-line unit to a more compli-
cated reduced voltage scheme. It includes all of the functions
listed in table 3.7. Any of the standard control circuits listed in
table 3.3, or a custom circuit, may be downloaded. The
SAMMS-LVX device accepts up to four remote inputs, while
SAMMS-LVE accepts two remote inputs.
SAMMS-LVE is a model of SAMMS-LV tailored to across-the-
line (FVNR) applications. It provides all of the protective func-
tions of the SAMMS-LVX device, except that it has no jam
protection (F23), loss of load protection/alarm (F24), or process
current warning (F22) functions. Functions F3 and F5 associ-
ated with two-speed applications are not available. No provi-
sion for automatic reset (F8) is provided. SAMMS-LVE accepts
two remote inputs, and provides one output to actuate a single
contactor. An alarm contact is not available with SAMMS-LVE.
The SAMMS remote inputs are compatible with all PLCs and
electromechanical remote control devices that have a 120VAC
or 125VDC output signal.
1.2.2 Advanced Protection for
Low-Voltage Motors
For advanced protection of low voltage motors, the SAMMS-LV
device uses a motor model algorithm that continually calculates
the stator winding and housing temperature as a function of the
motor rms current. The motor model compares the calculated
temperature to trip temperature values and provides a signal
that trips the motor off line when the motor reaches a trip
temperature value. The model closely emulates the heating and
cooling of the motor windings and provides protection against
both transient and steady-state overload conditions.

1 Introduction
across-the-line starters to complicated reduced-voltage start-
ers. With optional software, the specified control circuit can be
loaded either from the library or from a modified version into the
microprocessors memory, in the factory or on site, using an
IBM®-PC compatible computer. If you would like to learn more
about this software package, refer to SAMMS Custom Soft-
ware Manual, Bulletin CP 3291.
Highly specialized control circuits can be developed and exist-
ing circuits can be modified using an optional IBM-PC compat-
ible software package. This software uses conventional engi-
neering symbols along with pull-down menus and a mouse to
draw ladder diagrams. When you have finished drawing the
diagram, the software translates the diagram into microproces-
sor machine code and downloads it into the SAMMS-LV
devices memory.
1.2.5 Using the Standardized Control Panel
The SAMMS-LV device can be used for local and/or remote
control. The SAMMS-LVE device provides two light bars, while
the SAMMS-LVX model provides three light bars. Each model
includes six pushbuttons with lights and tactile feedback. These
light bars and pushbuttons are programmed for the various
functions of the control circuit used.
Figure 1.2 Hand-Held Communicator (HHC)
1.2.3 Overload Protection
The motor model offers the selection of overload classes 2
through 23.
The SAMMS-LV device offers more accurate motor protection
than traditional thermal overload and most electronic motor
protection devices. This prolongs motor life by eliminating
nuisance tripping for multiple restarts, and allowing for proper
cool down time when the motor winding temperature reaches
a critically high value.
1.2.4 Programming Control Circuits
The SAMMS-LV device allows you to modify its configuration by
programming the microprocessor. The SAMMS-LV device
replaces conventional timers, overload relays, pushbuttons,
and selector switches.
SAMMS-LVE is preloaded with seven across-the-line control
circuits, and the desired control circuit can be selected using
the Hand-Held Communicator (HHC.) Alternatively, a custom
across-the-line circuit may be downloaded from a PC.
The test/reset button is used to test and reset the overload
function and to test the front panel lights.
Diagnostics
Eight diagnostic LEDs, located on the front panel, provide
information about conditions affecting the motor.
Statistical Data about the Motor
The microprocessors memory stores statistical data about the
motor and displays this data on the Hand-Held Communicator
(HHC).
Real-Time Metering Data
The Hand-Held Communicator displays real-time metering
data.
Local Displaying of Motor and Circuit Data
The HHC and the eight (8) diagnostic LEDs display motor and
control circuit data. The eight (8) diagnostic LEDs are located on
the front panel of the device.
Communicating with Other Devices
The SAMMS-LV device communicates with other devices via
the ACCESS system. When connected to the ACCESS system,
the SAMMS-LV device provides two-way communication with
the Power Monitor display and monitoring unit, an IBM PC-
compatible computer running the Power Monitor PC com-
munications and supervisory software or another supervisory
device. This ability allows you to control and monitor motors
from a centralized location. You can have remote access to all
SAMMS-LV data such as diagnostics, statistical data, real-time
metering, and controller status. If you would like to learn more
about the ACCESS system, refer to Installing the ACCESS
System (manual no. SG-6028).
A library of more than 70 typical control circuits exists for use
with SAMMS-LVX to meet applications ranging from simple

from -40° C to 85° C. The surrounding air should not contain any
corrosive fumes or electrically conductive contaminants. The
storage location should prevent condensation from forming
within the equipment enclosure.
Note: Improper storage can cause equipment damage. Follow
all storage instructions carefully. Failure to follow storage instructions will void the warranty.
2.2 Where to Locate the Device
You can locate the SAMMS-LV device and its associated
devices in most industrial equipment environments. Unless the
device is designed for specific requirements, you should install
the SAMMS-LV device and its controller in an area where the
following conditions exist:
• Ambient air must be free of dirt, combustible vapor, steam,
electrically conductive or corrosive material.
and a wiring diagram. The connection diagram illustrates the
connections between the SAMMS-LV device and its peripheral
devices. The ladder diagram illustrates the control circuit
loaded into the SAMMS-LV device. Figure 2-1 shows a typical
connection diagram for the SAMMS-LV device.
If Siemens does not supply the motor controller, the retrofitter
or original equipment manufacturer should develop an equivalent electrical scheme.
2.4.1 Wiring Guidelines
You must observe the following guidelines when installing the
SAMMS-LV device and connecting it with its peripheral devices.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can cause pickup of
unwanted signals resulting in erratic operation and damage to
the SAMMS-LV device.
Guideline 1: Separate the low-voltage (115 VAC or less) from
the higher voltage conductors (460 VAC or higher) as much as
possible. If low-voltage and medium-voltage wires must cross
paths, make sure that they intersect at a right angle.
• Area around the controller must provide access to the
equipment for inspection, maintenance and operation.
2.3 Mounting the Device
The SAMMS-LV device mounts in a front door of Siemens
motor control center (MCC), or on the front door of any motor
controller.
2.4 Connecting the Device
This section contains general guidelines that you should follow
to connect the SAMMS-LV device. These guidelines include
instructions for routing the wiring, connecting the wires and
grounding the device. Use these guidelines to install the
SAMMS-LV device and its peripheral devices in a motor
controller. Also use these guidelines to connect the motor
controller to the motor.
When Siemens supplies a SAMMS-LV device as part of a motor
controller, Siemens personnel install the wiring between the
SAMMS-LV device and its peripheral devices in the motor
controller at the factory. The schematic diagram used contains
three components: a connection diagram, a ladder diagram
Guideline 2: To eliminate noise coupling, install all twisted pairs
or wrap wires in such a way that a complete twist or wrap occurs
at least every two inches.
Guideline 3: Place the low-voltage leads near the controller
chassis.
Guideline 4: Use at least AWG 14 stranded copper wire for any
low-voltage control wiring that you route outside the motor
controller enclosure. Connections to the SAMMS-LV unit must
be made with wire no larger than AWG 14.
Guideline 5: To avoid ground loops, ground each motor
controller at a single ground point.
The top portion of the device contains 16 terminal locations for
connecting control power leads, power supply, ground, inputs
and outputs. (Refer to Figure 2.2 for a description of each
terminal block assignment.)

3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device
3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device
This section explains how to operate the SAMMS-LV device.
Operation of the device requires that the unit have control power
(12VAC) applied to terminals 5-6. Most operations also require
use of the Hand-Held Communicator (HHC). Use of the HHC is
described in detail in section 3.27.
3.1 Password Protection
Changing the settings of the SAMMS-LV device requires the
use of the Hand-Held Communicator (HHC) in the program
mode. To access the program mode, the user needs a
password. The SAMMS-LV device is shipped from the factory
with the password 0000. This password can be changed by
the user as described in section 3.28.1. Display of data using
the HHC does not require use of a password.
3.2 Using the Reset/Test Push Button
The Reset/Test pushbutton is located at the bottom center of
the front panel of the SAMMS-LV device as illustrated in Figure
3.1. You press this pushbutton to manually reset the SAMMS-LV
device after a fault or a trip condition occurs so that the motor
can be restarted. You can also use the Reset/Test pushbutton
to perform a lamp test or an overload relay test.
3.2.1 Performing a Lamp Test
To test the diagnostic LEDs, the control LEDs and the light bars
on the front panel, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold the Reset/Test pushbutton for one to two
seconds.
3.2.2 Performing an Overload Relay Test
You may perform an overload relay test whenever the motor is
stopped. Use the following procedure to perform an overload
relay test.
1. Press and hold the Reset/Test pushbutton for at least the
duration of the class time. The class time is set by accessing
function F7. If you need to know how to access function F7,
see Section 3.28. If you release the Reset/Test pushbutton
before the duration of the class time, the device performs a
lamp test. If a fault or trip condition exists when you press the
Reset/Test pushbutton, the device performs a reset instead
of a lamp test.
2. Continue to hold down the Reset/Test pushbutton. After
reaching the class time duration, the Impending Trip and the
Phase Unbalance LEDs illuminate.
3. Release the Reset/Test pushbutton. The Impending Trip
and Phase Unbalance LEDs go off, and the Overload Trip
LED illuminates for two seconds. If the SAMMS-LV device
is tripped, it is automatically reset at the end of the overload
relay test.
Note that this test checks the electronic circuitry, but does not
replace a test in which actual power current is passed through
the primary circuit.
Use the following procedure to reset the SAMMS-LV device
after a trip event.
1. Press the Reset/Test pushbutton.
2. Release the Reset/Test pushbutton. (All LEDs and light bars
on the front panel illuminate for two seconds.)
If a fault or trip condition exists when you press the Reset/Test
pushbutton, the device performs a reset instead of a lamp test.

2. Release the Reset/Test pushbutton. The device resets the
alarm LEDs. If the motor has cooled sufficiently, you can
restart the motor.
3.3 Motor Control
You can configure the SAMMS-LV device to perform many
motor starting and control functions. These functions include
basic across-the-line, to more complicated reversing, two-
speed, and reduced-voltage starting. The SAMMS-LV device
stores in its memory the executable code representing the
ladder diagram for the users control application. The SAMMS-LV
device and ladder diagram code replace the conventional
control logic defined by wired interconnection of electrome-
chanical timers, control relays, pushbuttons, selector switches,
and pilot lights. A library of over 70 standard ladder diagrams
available for the SAMMS-LV device covers most applications.
In addition to the standard ladders, you can construct custom
ladder diagrams, using optional software, to handle special
applications.
Figures 3.2 and 3.3 illustrate the ladder symbols representing
input and output devices available for the SAMMS-LV device.
The circular symbols represent output devices such as contactor
coil drivers, pilot LEDs on the front panel of the SAMMS-LV
device, software time-delay relays and software control relays.
All other symbols represent input devices such as software
auxiliary contacts, remote AC inputs, front-panel pushbuttons,
and software timer instantaneous and timed contacts.

3.4 Output Devices
You can use the following SAMMS-LV output devices:
AC Outputs
The SAMMS-LVX device provides up to three AC coil drivers
capable of driving contactors up to size 6, while SAMMS-LVE
provides one coil driver.
Control Relays
The device provides up to eight software-controlled relays.
These relays are helpful in local two-wire and other applications
requiring maintained contacts.
Timing Relays
The SAMMS-LV device contains four internal software timing
relays. You can configure all four timers as on-delay timers;
however, if needed, you can configure the two adjustable timers
(timing relays TR1 and TR2) as either on-delay or off-delay
timers. Using the Hand Held Communicator, you can program
timing relays TR1 and TR2 from 0 through 200 seconds
(functions F13 and F14). Timing relay TR3 has a fixed 1 second
delay, and timing relay TR4 has a fixed 30 seconds delay. Table
3.1 illustrates the type of timers used on the device and their
ranges.
Timer Type Time (in seconds)
TR1 Programmable on-delay or
off-delay
TR2 Programmable on-delay or
off-delay
TR3 Fixed on-delay 1
0 - 200
0 - 200
Front Panel Pushbuttons
The SAMMS-LV device has six front-panel pushbuttons for
local control of the device. You must use pushbutton 1 (PB1) for
stopping the motor. You must use three of the pushbuttons
(PB4-PB6) for the Hand, Off and Auto functions if these
functions are used in your configuration. If these functions are
not used, you may use PB4-PB6 for other functions. You can
configure the other two pushbuttons (PB2 and PB3) at your
discretion. Refer to Figure 3.4 for assignment of pushbuttons.
Insert labels are used to identify the function associated with
each pushbutton or light bar.
Software Auxiliary Contacts
Any number of internal (software) auxiliary contacts can be
configured. These contacts show either a normally open (NO)
or normally closed (NC) status. You can set up these auxiliary
contacts using the SAMMS-LV software. Through the
SAMMS-LV software, the pilot LEDs also have auxiliary con-
tacts.
TR4 Fixed on-delay 30
Table 3.1 Types of software timing relays
Pilot LEDs
The SAMMS-LVX device contains three light bars on the front
panel, while the SAMMS-LVE contains two light bars. Light bar
L1 is reserved and must be used as the STOP or OFF LED. You
can configure L2 and L3 at your discretion. The Hand, Off and
Auto LEDs correspond to the Hand, Off and Auto pushbuttons
on the front panel as illustrated in Figure 3.4. You can use the
Incomplete Sequence LED in reduced-voltage applications or
to verify contactor operation. Refer to Figure 3.4 for the location
of the LEDs and Table 3.2 for a description of the LED states.
Flashing Pilot LEDs
The front panel contains two or three flashing light bars that
indicate various conditions such as on-delay timing. These
flashing light bars, L1, L2 and L3 as defined above, indicate
different output devices if they are flashing rather than if they are
on constantly. Refer to Figure 3.4 for an illustration of pilot LEDs.
3.5 Input Devices
You can use the following input devices with the SAMMS-LV
device.
Remote AC Inputs
For SAMMS-LVX you can use four 120 VAC or VDC inputs for
remote control, or you can use two inputs for SAMMS-LVE.
12
Table 3.2 Description of pilot LEDs
Software Timer Inputs
Each timer has an unlimited number of normally open (NO) and
normally closed (NC) contacts. Timers configured as on-delay
timers have an unlimited supply of normally open timed-closed
(NOTC), and normally closed timed-open (NCTO) contacts.
Timers configured as off-delay timers have an unlimited supply
of normally open timed-open (NOTO), and normally closed
timed-closed (NCTC) contacts.
Communications Inputs
A serial, RS-485 communications port is located on the back of
the device for external communications.
The communications inputs must be included in the ladder logic
(control circuit).

For each starter type, the library includes seven control types:
local two-wire
local three-wire
local three-wire, remote two-wire
local two-wire, remote two-wire
local three-wire, remote three-wire
remote two-wire
remote three-wire
SAMMS-LVE has seven preloaded circuits (ladder diagrams)
for use with across-the-line (FVNR) applications. SAMMS-LVX
may be used with any of the circuits.
For details on the library of standard ladder diagrams, refer to
the SAMMS Standard Circuit Manual.
3.6.2 Custom Ladder Diagrams
For special motor control applications not covered by the library
of standard ladders, you can construct custom ladder dia-
grams using the input and output devices and their associated
symbols for the SAMMS-LV device. Siemens personnel can
build these custom ladder diagrams or you can build your own.
You can purchase an optional IBM PC-compatible software
package to develop custom ladder diagrams for special control
applications. The package also includes a library of standard
symbols. The package enables you to reconfigure existing
SAMMS-LV devices to meet changing plant needs. Refer to the
Custom Software Manual for the SAMMS device, Bulletin CP
3291.

3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device
3.7 Incomplete Sequence
Sometimes the motor contactors do not respond in a timely
manner to start, stop, transition, speed or direction change
commands from the controller. If the SAMMS-LV device does
not detect motor current one second after issuing a start
command or if the SAMMS-LV device detects motor current
one second after issuing a stop command, an Incomplete
Sequence trip occurs. The motor contactors are opened and
the Incomplete Sequence LED illuminates solidly. In standard
reduced-voltage autotransformer (RVA) starters, an incomplete
sequence also occurs if the remote RUN seal-in contact wired
to pin 9 does not close within one second of the transition from
starting to full-speed operation. This function can be disabled
when configured at the factory. You can also disable it with the
Hand Held Communicator to the SAMMS-LV device. This is
helpful when the controller is tested before connecting to the
motor. After connecting the HHC, use the function UP and
DOWN buttons to select F1. While pressing the ENTER button
for a period of one second push START. Repeating the same
process enables the incomplete sequence protection function.
3.8 Intelligent Reduced-Voltage Starting
(SAMMS-LVX Only)
Intelligent reduced-voltage starting is provided in all standard
reduced-voltage Siemens starters. The advantage of this fea-
ture is that the transition from reduced to full voltage is deter-
mined by the magnitude of the actual motor current and not by
a timer. This optimizes the transition.
When a motor with intelligent reduced-voltage starting is started,
a 30 second timer is energized. If the timer times out, the
transition to full voltage commences as a fail-safe measure. If,
before the 30 second timer times out, the motor current drops
to below the full-load current setting, the transition commences.
The state of the RUN contactor, whose auxiliary contact is
connected to Remote input 4 (pin 9), is checked one second
after the transition. If the contactor is not closed, an incomplete
sequence trip occurs.
3.9 Ridethrough Upon Loss of Power
(SAMMS-LVX Only)
If a motor is running and control power is lost, the motor restarts
automatically with two-wire control as soon as power is re-
stored. With three-wire control, you must restart the motor
manually. The optional ridethrough feature available with
SAMMS-LVX allows three-wire controls to ride through power
outages of up to one second. This feature is especially useful
where the power system is subject to momentary interruptions.
If, while the motor is running, power is lost to a three-wire control
having the ridethrough option, the contactors are opened to
prevent chattering and then reclosed automatically if power
returns within one second.
The ridethrough option should be used with caution, because
of the possibility of motor damage in the event that the contactor
recloses while the motor residual voltage is significantly out of
phase with the system supply voltage.
3.10 Overload Protection
The motor overload protection function is based on calculating
the motors winding and housing temperatures. These tem-
peratures are compared to the allowable temperature limits for
the motors winding and housing. On the basis of this compari-
son, the SAMMS-LV device either stops the motor or allows it
to run.
For example, consider the motor winding temperature rise
illustrated in Figure 3.5. The motor starts for 5 seconds and runs
for a period of 2200 seconds. Then, the motor is subjected to
a running overload condition that raises the winding tempera-
ture to the maximum allowable winding temperature rise result-
ing in an overload trip. At this temperature, the motor cannot
start until the motor winding temperature cools down to the full-
load temperature. The motor can then start and run at full-load
current.
In the motor model, the greatest of the root mean square (rms)
current values for the motor phases is converted into a heat-like
quantity. This is done by a mathematical function that depends
on the ratio of the rms current to the full-load current set for the
motor. The function is based not only on ideal overload
characteristics, but also on empirical motor data. The heat-like
quantity is analogous to an input source of current to the
electric-circuit analog. The exact values of some of the various
elements in the circuit depend on nameplate data entered for
the particular motor being protected. Unlike the method of
protection in conventional overload relays, the motor model is
general enough to protect many classes of motors, yet sophis-
ticated enough to offer customized protection to particular
motors. To customize protection to the motor enter the follow-
ing nameplate data:
• full-load current setting (F4)
• service factor (F6)
• motor ambient temperature (F0)
3.11 Motor Ambient Temperature
Motors are used in a wide range of temperatures. However,
motors designed according to NEMA standards are rated at
40°C ambient temperature.
The SAMMS-LV allows you to decrease or increase the motors
thermal capacity according to the motors ambient tempera-
ture. You can select ambient temperature from 0° to 70°C in
increments of 5°C, with HHC function F0.
Important: Do not use this feature with motors rated for
ambient temperature other than the standard 40°C.
3.12 Protection Curves and Overload
Classes
The specific motor protection curve selected depends upon the
overload class setting. The overload class is defined as the
maximum tripping time in seconds for a current level of 600%
of the full-load current or I
motors is 600% of I
FLC
. (The typical starting current of
FLC
.) For example, an overload class setting

of 10 guarantees that a current of 600% of I
in 10 seconds or less. In the SAMMS-LV, the protection curves
are designed to cause a trip in 90% to 100% of the class time
for a current of 600% of I
The lowest overload class, greater than or equal to the motors
starting time, gives the best protection. Overload classes 2
through 23 are available in SAMMS-LV. The range of protection
curves are shown in Figures 3.6 through 3.9.
Important: In the unlikely event that the motor acceleration
time (overload class) exceeds the motors stall time, use a
speed switch as an input source to open the contactor if the
switch senses a locked rotor or stall condition.
Note: For clarity, the time-current characteristic curves in this
manual are shown with overload classes 2, 5, 10, 15 and 23
only. Use interpolation to derive values of other overload
classes not shown.

.
will cause a trip
FLC
3.13 Ultimate Trip Level and Service Factor
The ultimate trip level is the maximum continuous current that
does not cause an overload trip. Any higher current applied
indefinitely to an unprotected motor will ultimately damage it.
The ultimate trip level for motors with a unity service factor is
110% of the full-load current setting. For motors with a service
factor of 1.15, the ultimate trip level is 120%. You can select a
service factor of 1.00 or 1.15 with HHC function F6.
3.14 Phase Unbalance
Unbalanced three-phase voltages or loss of one phase can
result in unbalanced currents being supplied to the motor.
Unbalanced currents include negative-sequence components
that produce heat in the motor winding, decreasing the effi-
ciency of the motor for a given load. The SAMMS-LV device
measures the magnitude of the current unbalance as the
maximum deviation from the average of the three-phase cur-
rents, divided by the average of the three-phase currents. In
case of loss of a phase, the unbalance is 100% in a three-wire,
ungrounded system.
With phase unbalance protection enabled, current unbalances
of between 20% and 40% cause the Phase Unbalance LED to
flash as a warning. If the unbalance increases to above 40%, the
Phase Unbalance LED illuminates solidly and overload tripping
accelerates. The effect of an unbalance of greater than 40% is
to shift the motor protection curve in the direction of faster
tripping.
You enable the phase unbalance protection using HHC function
F9.
• Enabled = ON
• Disabled = OFF
With phase unbalance protection enabled, HHC function F17
displays the percentage of current unbalance. Both functions
display OFF if phase unbalance protection is disabled.
3.15 Dual Overload Protection
(SAMMS-LVX Only)
Because the high-speed and low-speed currents differ in two-
speed motors, different full-load current settings are often
required. In such applications, use function F5 to select the full-
load current for low-speed operation.
3.16 Jam Protection (SAMMS-LVX Only)
Certain mechanical loads, especially those containing gears,
are susceptible to jamming. Jam protection can prevent dam-
age to the motor and the driven equipment by quickly tripping
the motor off-line in the event of a jam. If you have enabled jam
protection, you may adjust the jam trip level from 120-400% of
The jam trip time is 360 msec. SAMMS-LVX is normally

shipped with jam protection enabled, with a trip level of 200%
(See Figure 3.11). Jam protection is locked out for 5 times
I
FLC
the overload class after a start, speed, or direction change. If the
jam limits are exceeded, the motor is tripped off-line and the
External Trip LED on the front panel solidly illuminates. You can
enable jam protection using HHC function F23.
• enabled = ON
• disabled = OFF
3.17 Loss of Load Protection/Warning
(SAMMS-LVX Only)
If the running current of the motor suddenly drops below 20 to
95% (adjustable) of its previous reading in 360 msec, a loss of
load has occurred. Such a loss of load could be due to a broken
belt or loss of back pressure in a pump. Loss of load detection
is locked out for five times the overload class time after a start,
direction, or speed change (See Figure 3.11). You can select
loss of load protection or warning using HHC function F24.
• protection = ON
• warning = OFF
With protection selected, detection of a loss of load trips the
motor off-line and illuminates the External Trip LED. With
warning selected, the motor does not trip off-line and the
External Trip LED flashes until the current returns to its former
steady-state level or higher. SAMMS-LVX is normally shipped
with loss of load protection OFF (WARNING only), and with
default setting of 50% I
FLC
.
3.18 Process Current Warning
(SAMMS-LVX Only)
It is often convenient to have an indication that the load current
is above its normal operating level so that the process can be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted. You can set the process
current warning from 0% (displayed as OFF) to 100% of the
full-load current with HHC function F22. As long as the motor
running current exceeds the process current warning level, the
External Trip LED flashes. Process current warning is locked out
for five times the class time after a start or a direction or speed
change.
22
3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device
3.19 Stator Protection
By selecting the overload class slightly greater than or equal to
the motors starting time, the motor model defines an energy I
value. In this value, I equals 600% of the motors full load current
and t equals the overload class selected.
If the amount of energy exerted by the motor during start, stall
or under locked rotor condition exceeds the amount of energy
defined by the overload class selected, the SAMMS-LV device
will trip. This protects the motors winding against excessive
heat build up. For example, a typical motor starts within 3 to 4
seconds. By selecting an overload class 4 or 5, you can safely
start the motor hot or cold and without nuisance tripping. This
also provides protection against stall time exceeding 4 or 5
seconds; assuming the locked rotor current equals 600% of the
motors full-load current (See Figure 3.10).
3.20 Repetitive Starts
The motor model allows repetitive starts without nuisance
tripping while protecting the motor against overload and stall
conditions. Repetitive starts can occur as long as the following
conditions are met:
1. The energy exerted by the motor during start does not
exceed the energy defined by the overload class selected.
2. The motor winding temperature does not exceed the maxi-
mum temperature allowed.
3. The SAMMS-LV is not in start inhibit (See Section 3.21).
For example, a motor starting from cold condition could have
4 or more typical starts of 5 seconds without nuisance tripping
and without damaging the motor insulation. Figure 3.11 shows
a multi-start scenario for an open drip-proof motor.
3.21 Start Inhibit
When the motor temperature reaches the maximum values
2
t
allowed, the SAMMS-LV device trips. If you attempt a restart,
the overload LED flashes and the motor will not start until the
motor winding and rotor temperatures cool down to the full load
temperature. HHC function F25 displays the motor winding
temperature as a percentage of the full-load temperature. HHC
function F10 displays the time to enable restart in seconds.
3.22 Cooling Time Constants
The motor time constants vary based on whether the motor is
running idle or is stopped. The values listed in Table 3.4 are used
in the motor model.

3.24 Ground Fault Detection
In SAMMS-LV devices, HHC function F12 selects ground fault
protection or warning.
• protection = ON
• warning = OFF
The device detects a ground fault if the fault current exceeds the
pickup level for 360 msec. If you have selected protection (ON),
23
3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device
the motor trips and the Ground Fault LED illuminates until reset.
If you selected warning (OFF), the Ground Fault LED flashes as
long as the fault current exceeds the pickup level. Table 3.6 lists
the pickup levels for each overload size. Ground fault protection
is locked out for the overload class time.

With autoreset enabled, overload and external trips automati-
cally reset in 30 seconds after the trip. Once the reset occurs,
the SAMMS-LV device can be used to restart the motor, unless
the motor has reached its maximum temperature and has not
cooled down to the full-load level (start inhibit). Resetting after
a trip does not interrupt or otherwise affect the ongoing motor
thermal computations.
3.26 Emergency Restarting
In certain critical applications, you may want to restart a hot
motor even though restarting will damage or destroy the motor.
An emergency restart is a motor start that occurs after an
overload trip on maximum allowable winding or housing tem-
perature; but before they have cooled down to the full-load
temperature level (100%) or below. In other words, an emer-
gency restart is a start that occurs before the restart time
displayed by HHC function F10 reaches zero.
With the emergency restart function enabled (HHC function
F11), the motor can be restarted regardless of the residual heat.
If the SAMMS-LV device performs an emergency restart, the
winding and housing temperatures in the motor model compu-
tations reset to zero. Any time the motor is started, whether an
emergency restart or a normal start, the emergency restart
HHC function F11 is automatically reset to disable.
• enabled = ON
• disabled = OFF
Ground fault detection requires no additional external circuitry
or transformers. Ground fault detection for the SAMMS-LV
device is not available for grounded, three-phase systems or
single-phase applications. Ground fault pickup time is 360
msec.
3.25 Autoreset After a Trip (SAMMS-LVX
Only)
To restart the motor after a trip or a fault, you must first reset the
SAMMS-LVX device. You can reset the SAMMS-LV device in
one of two ways. First, press the Reset/Test button on the front
panel of the device. Second, enable the autoreset with HHC
function F8.
• enable = ON
• disable = OFF
3.27 Using the Hand Held Communicator
(HHC)
The HHC provides you with the capability to monitor and alter
various motor control and protection functions provided with
the SAMMS-LV device. For example, you can monitor and alter
control and protection settings such as on-delay time and
overload class. You can also monitor a variety of motor
operating conditions such as average current and elapsed
running time.
The SAMMS-LV device functions accessible through the HHC
are shown in Table 3.7 The number of functions available
depends upon the model of the SAMMS-LV device you are
using.
The HHCs small size makes it convenient to carry around and
use for communication with many SAMMS-LV devices. To use
the HHC, connect the HHCs cable, which uses a DB-9
connector, to the communication port located on the front
panel of the SAMMS-LV device. The HHC receives power and
control from the SAMMS-LV device. When connected to the
SAMMS-LV device, data is displayed on the HHC by a four-
character, seven segment liquid crystal display. When discon-
nected from the SAMMS-LV device, the HHC does not retain
or display data.
Once connected, you can access the functions provided by the
SAMMS-LV device through the use of the HHCs control keys.
The HHC has five (5) control keys: (F)unction, LIST, UP, DOWN,
and ENTER. The asterisk (*) key serves no function. The HHC
control keys are described in the following sections.

3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device
3.27.1 The (F)unction Key
When you press the (F)unction key, the function mode is
selected and the HHC displays the number of the selected
function preceded by F. With the HHC in the function mode, use
the UP and DOWN keys to step from one function to the next.
3.27.2 The LIST Key
When you press the LIST key, the display mode is selected and
the HHC displays the value corresponding to the selected
function. If the selected function is a set point, the HHC displays
the actual setting. If the selected function is a measured
quantity, the HHC displays the value of the measured quantity.
In the display mode, use the UP and DOWN keys to step
through the range of possible set points for the selected
function. Pressing the LIST key returns the active setting to the
display.
There is one occasion when the LIST key is disabled making the
corresponding functions inoperative. In a SAMMS-LV device
with autoreset disabled at the factory, the LIST key has no effect
for F8.
3.27.3 UP and DOWN Keys
Use the UP and DOWN keys to step through the functions while
the HHC is in the function mode. When the HHC is in the display
mode, use the UP and DOWN keys to step through the values
for a selected function. You can use the keys in three ways:
1. Single step - press the key and release it.
3.27.4 Using the ENTER Key
Use the ENTER key to change settings on the HHC display. The
SAMMS-LV device disables the ENTER key under the following
conditions:
1. The ENTER key is disabled while the device is in the function
mode.
2. The ENTER key is disabled for non-setting functions that
display a parameter.
3. The ENTER key is disabled while the motor is running to
prevent settings from being changed while the motor is
running.
Use the following procedure to change a setting. This example
shows you how to change the full-load current setting from
112A to 67A.
1. With the HHC in the program mode (see section 3.28.1),
press the (F)unction key. The display shows the number of
the function most recently selected, (e.g. F9).
2. Use the UP or DOWN key (as described above) to step or
scroll to the desired function. The display shows the desired
function, (e.g. F4).
3. Press the LIST key. The display shows the active setting for
the selected function, (e.g. 112, representing a full-load
current setting of 112A for a motor controlled by a size 4
contactor.)
2. Slow scroll - press the key and hold the key down for no
longer than two or three seconds.
3. Fast scroll - press the key and hold the key down long
enough for the HHC to step through more than five steps.
The following information discusses how to operate the UP and
DOWN keys in the function and display modes.
1. In the function mode, the UP key increases the function
number by one and the DOWN key decreases the function
number by one. If F0 appears on the display, pressing the
DOWN key rolls the function over to the highest-numbered
function, F27. If the highest-numbered function (F27) ap-
pears in the display, pressing the UP key rolls the function
over to the lowest-numbered function (F0).
2. In the display mode, use the UP and DOWN keys to step
through the range of settings for each set point function. You
also use the UP and DOWN keys to step through the
individual line currents and the average line current of F15.
Just as the UP and DOWN keys cause the function numbers
to roll over, they also cause the range of settings to roll over.
4. Use the UP or DOWN key (as described above) to step or
scroll to the desired setting. The display shows the desired
setting, (e.g. 67 for 67A).
5. To enter the desired setting (67) which is displayed, press
the ENTER key. The display becomes blank while you hold
down the ENTER key and the SAMMS-LV device stores the
new setting.
6. Press the LIST key to show the new setting (67) on the
display.
7. To move to the other functions, press the (F)unction key. The
display shows, in the example, F4.
8. Press the UP and DOWN keys to step through the function
numbers. The SAMMS-LV device is in the function mode.
9. To exit the program mode, press and hold the (F)unction key
for several seconds. The display will show Prog. Press the
UP or DOWN key to change to display mode.

4 Troubleshooting the SAMMS-LV
Device
This section discusses how to troubleshoot the SAMMS-LV
device. The troubleshooting guide below lists basic errors that
can occur while operating the SAMMS-LV device. Use the
guide as necessary to solve error conditions as they arise. Do
not attempt to solve any error condition that is not listed in the
troubleshooting guide. Instead, contact your Siemens representative.
Note: When contacting your Siemens representative, refer to
the SAMMS-LV production control label to identify production
date, hardware version, and software version. This label is
mounted on the right side of the unit when viewed from the front.
For example, 93-250-456-01/03 represents a device that was
produced in 93, the 250th day of the year, unit number 456,
hardware version 01, and software version 03.

Current Unbalance Current unbalance LED is illuminated if
current unbalance exceeds 40%, or it
flashes if current unbalance is between
20 and 40%. Current unbalance may
be due to voltage or load unbalance.
Overload Trip Indicates motor exceeded winding,
housing, or rotor temperature
threshold.
1.2.Correct the cause of voltage or load unbalance.
Verify current transformer secondary voltage is
unbalanced at SAMMS-LV terminals 1, 2, and 3 with
reference to 4.
1.
Verify that the full load current F4 and service factor
F6 on the HHC matches the full load current and the
service factor on the motor nameplate.
2.
If the motor tripped during start, increment the
overload class one step and start again. If still
unsuccessful, the motor’s rotor may be locked or
stalled. Correct motor malfunction before restarting.
3.
If the motor tripped after running for a period more
than the overload class selected, the trip may be due
to a running overload such as excessive loading on a
conveyor belt or bad bearings. Remove the cause of
the overload before restarting the motor.
4.

Incomplete
Sequence
Indicates the SAMMS-LV unit does not
detect current one second after a start
command, or it detects current one
second after a stop command.
1.
If the unit trips one second after start, verify that
current transformer secondary input is present in the
range of 100 mVAC to 3.54 VAC at terminals 1, 2,
and 3 with reference to 4. Verify that the coil voltage
is 115 VAC at terminals 14, 15, or 16 with reference
to 13 when the motor is started. Verify 115 VAC at
terminal 7 with reference to 13. Correct conditions if
necessary. Call Siemens if unit continues to trip.
2.
If the unit trips one second after a stop command,
verify the contactor is open. Repair or replace the
contactor if it is not functioning properly.
3.
Verify operation of mechanical interlock, and replace
or adjust.
4.
Verify absence of voltage at terminals 1, 2, and 3 with
reference to 4, and at terminals 14, 15, or 16 with
reference to 13. If voltage is present, define the
source and reconnect so that the motor current only
passes through the current transformer.
5.
To disable incomplete sequence, select F1 on the
HHC, press the ENTER key for one or more seconds
and start the motor. The incomplete sequence will
remain disabled until the above procedure is
repeated.
External Trip If the external trip LED is solidly
illuminated and the motor is stopped, it
indicates a jam or loss of load
condition.
CPU Fault Indicates a problem in the
microprocessor or a low voltage
condition.
1.
Jam conditions such as a blocked conveyor belt or
gear train cause a sudden increase in motor current,
which can damage the motor’s insulation in a short
period of time.
2.
Loss of load conditions, such as a broken blade of an
impeller or loss of back pressure of a pump, result in
a sudden decrease in motor current.
3.
F16 on the HHC displays the external trip current at
the time of the trip.
In any case, determine the reason for the external trip
and correct the problem before restarting the motor.
If the external trip LED flashes and the motor
continues to run, it indicates loss of load warning or
process current warning.
Verify voltage between terminals 5 and 6 is more than
10 VAC. If fault persists, call Siemens.

exceeded the threshold. If ground fault
protection was selected, the ground
fault LED illuminates solidly and the
motor stops. If ground fault warning
was selected, the ground fault LED
flashes and the motor continues to run.
Ready Light not
Illuminated
Improper Remote
Operation
Usually indicates lack of control power. 1.
Indicates connection or operator error. 1.
The cause of the ground fault should be determined
and removed before using the motor again. F16 on
the HHC displays the ground fault trip current.
Verify the presence of 12 VAC between terminals 5
and 6 of the SAMMS-LV unit.
2.
If control power is not present, check the control
power fuses or the control power transformer and
replace if defective.
3.
If control power is present, push the RESET button to
test lights and unit. If the Ready light does not
illuminate, call Siemens.
Verify the SAMMS-LV unit is in the Auto mode.
2.
Verify 115 VAC input at SAMMS-LV terminals 9, 10,
11, and 12 with reference to 13, and at terminal 7
with reference to 13.
3.
If remote operation is intermittent, verify connections
are made in a manner to avoid noise interference.
Refer to Section 2 of this manual for instructions.

Connection error. Verify 115 VAC at terminal 7 with reference to 13,
and at output terminals 14, 15, or 16 with reference
to 13 when the motor is started.
Usually indicates motor is running, or
incorrect password.
Usually indicates improper grounding
or noise interference.
1.2.Verify that the motor is stopped before changing
parameters.
Verify that the correct password is in use. If the
password cannot be determined, call Siemens.
