TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

Chapter 1 - Introduction

1.1 General Description

The TE Series is a digitally programmable solid-state reduced voltage
soft starter. Its six SCR design features a voltage/current ramp with an
anti-oscillation circuit for smooth load acceleration. The SCRs are sized
to withstand starting currents of 350% for 30 seconds and up to 600%
for 10 seconds. The TE Series features smooth, stepless ramp control,
which reduces motor inrush current and excessive wear on the
mechanical drive train components. The TE Series includes a
programmable keypad for setting operating parameters for the ideal
starting cycle and protection features, plus easy to understand
diagnostic LEDs. Starting torque, ramp time, current limit, dual ramp,
and Decel control are standard features on the TE Series, as well as
the integrated Batch Process Timer and Time Clock Controller used for
automated applications. By simply adjusting the unit’s starting torque,
ramp time and current limit functions, the starting electrical
characteristics of the motor can be matched to the mechanical
characteristics of the drive train for controlled acceleration of the load.
The TE Series includes solid-state electronic overload protection in
addition to numerous other protective features. It requires 120VAC
(240VAC optional) control power and uses dry contact inputs for Start /
Stop control. Programmable auxiliary contacts and provisions for
interlocking are also included.

"When an induction motor is operated at any service factor

When using this feature, simply program the TE Series

 NOTE:

1.2.1 Selecting for Service Factor Utilization

Many NEMA design motors include a design rating referred to
as Service Factor (SF) that may allow continuous operation
above the nameplate current rating. If using this Service
Factor, the TE Series starter must be sized for the total amps
used. For proper selection of the TE Series starter when using
SF continuously, multiply the nameplate FLA by the stated
Service Factor, or use stated Service Factor Amps (SFA) if
listed on the nameplate. Following is an excerpt from the
NEMA MG-1 standards for AC Motors that describes the
issues concerning the use of Service Factor ratings.

greater than 1.0, it may have efficiency, power factor and
speed different than those at rated load. Locked rotor torque
and current and breakdown torque will remain the same. A
motor operating continuously at any service factor greater than

1.0 will have a reduced life expectancy compared to operating
at its nameplate horsepower."

Service Factor (F002) to the nameplate rating see section

5.6.1. All other adjustments to protection circuits are done
automatically within the TE Series.

1.2.2 Selecting for Across the Line Bypass
If you need to be able to start the motor Across-the-Line if the
TE Series electronics are out of service, the starter can also
be selected based upon the rating of the Bypass Contactor.
Some users may also elect to size their Bypass Contactors per
NEMA guidelines. Please use the Product Price Catalog

for
details and notes on doing this, and see Appendix 5 for special
considerations regarding Overload Protection.

The TE…-BP Series starters include the ability to connect a dry
contact directly to the Bypass Contactor coil control circuit. These
terminals shipped are covered and should be used ONLY when
necessary for Emergency Bypass operation and

with an external

Overload Relay. See Appendix 5 for additional information.
No field wiring is necessary to these terminals if this feature is not

used.

Chapter 2 - Installation

2.1 Receiving and Unpacking

Upon receipt of the product, you should immediately do the following:
 Carefully unpack the unit from the shipping carton and inspect it for

shipping damage (if damaged, notify the freight carrier and file a
claim within 15 days of receipt).

 Verify that the model number on the unit matches your purchase

order.

 Confirm that the ratings sticker on the unit matches or is greater

than the motor’s HP and current rating.

2.2 Choosing a Location

Proper location of the TE Series is necessary to achieve specified
performance and normal operation lifetime. The TE Series should
always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:

 Ambient operating temperature:

Panel (open chassis) unit: 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F)
Enclosed unit: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)

 Protected from rain, moisture and direct sun.
 Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing
 Free from metallic particles, conductive dust and corrosive gas
 Free from excessive vibration (below 0.5G)
 Open panel units must be mounted in the appropriate type of

enclosure. Enclosure size and type must be suitable to dissipate
heat generated by the soft starter and any other components
mounted inside with it.

 Units with –BP Bypass Contactors produce less heat than units

without. Throughout all sizes, maximum heat dissipation of the
TE…-BP Series electronics, contactor coils and fans is less than
50W.

 Units without the –BP Bypass Contactor (optional on 210A and

above), must have ventilation adequate to account for heat
dissipation of the SCRs. This must be estimated at 4.5 watts per
running load amp. For example, on a 200HP 460V motor with
240FLA, the maximum heat dissipation of a starter w/o bypass will
be 240 x 4.5, or 1080 watts of heat. Enclosure ventilation (or air
conditioning) must be capable of dispersing this amount of heat.

 Care should always be taken to maximize the available space

inside of the enclosure. See section 2.5.1 or contact factory for
assistance in sizing enclosures.

2.3 Initial Unit Inspection

Make a complete visual check of the unit for damage that may have
occurred during shipping and handling. Do not attempt to continue
installation or start up the unit if it is damaged.

 Check for loose mechanical assemblies or broken wires which may

have occurred during transportation or handling. Loose electrical
connections will increase resistance and cause the unit to function
improperly.

 Prior to beginning the installation, verify that the motor and TE

Series unit are rated for the proper amperage and voltage.

WARNING

2.4 SERVICE WARNING!
Do not service equipment with voltage applied! The unit can be the

source of fatal electrical shocks! To avoid shock hazard,
disconnect main power and control power before working on the
unit. Warning labels must be attached to terminals, enclosure and
control panel to meet local codes. Use Lock Out tags such as the
one shown when servicing equipment.

2.5 Mounting and Cleaning

When drilling or punching holes in the enclosure, cover the electrical
assembly to prevent metal filings from becoming lodged in areas which
can cause clearance reduction or actually short out electronics. After
work is complete, thoroughly clean, vacuum the area, and re-inspect the
unit for foreign material.

2.5.1 Clearances

Make sure there is sufficient clearance all around the unit for cooling,
wiring and maintenance purposes. To conserve panel space, the TE
Series –BP models were designed for close horizontal clearances of
only 1 inch (25mm) on either side. A minimum vertical clearance of 4”
(100 mm) on the top and bottom is necessary to maximize effective
airflow and cooling, and the unit must be installed with its heat sink ribs
oriented vertically and running parallel to the mounting surface. Keep in
mind that these are minimums. Wiring may require more clearance,
particularly on the bottom.

WARNING

Remove all sources of power before cleaning the unit.

In dirty or contaminated atmospheres, the unit should be cleaned on a
regular basis to ensure proper cooling. Do not use any chemicals to
clean the unit. To remove surface dust use clean, dry compressed air
only, 80 to 100 psi. A three-inch, high quality, dry paintbrush is helpful to
loosen up the dust prior to using compressed air on the unit. Do not use
wire brushes or other conductive cleaning materials.

2.6 Power Terminations

All line and load power terminations are to be made to tin plated copper
Bus Tabs located on each unit. Bus tabs are pre-drilled to accept
industry standard bolts. Some sizes come with saddle clamp terminals,
however lugs are the responsibility of the user. Toshiba recommends
using crimp-on lugs, although mechanical lugs are suitable as well. The
following diagrams show sizes of the bus tab holes and critical spacing
between them for determining the size of lug that can be used.

3.1 Solid State Overload Protection

The TE Series Starter provides true U.L. listed I
Protection as a built-in function of the main digital processor for
maximum motor protection. It simulates the tripping action of a bi­metallic overload relay, with the accuracy and repeatability of a digital
control system. It is adjustable over a wide range and can be easily
programmed for different trip curves.

3.1.1 Thermal Memory

The TE Series microprocessor uses a sophisticated “Thermal Register”
in the digital memory to keep track of motor heating and cooling over
time regardless of the starter’s power status. By using non-volatile
memory, the TE Series does not “forget” that the motor has been
running even if power to the starter is turned off and turned back on.
Continuous overload protection is provided based on the true thermal
condition of the motor.

3.1.2 Thermal Capacity

The Thermal Register is displayed as a percentage. This percentage is
the motor’s remaining
100, showing that the motor is cool (has 100% of its capacity available).
As the motor heats up or moves toward an overload condition, the
percentage begins to drop. The Thermal Capacity is derived from the
programmed motor nameplate Full Load Amps (FLA) in Function F001,
the Service Factor rating in Function F002, and the Overload Trip Class
in Functions F003 and F004. Setting these functions to the proper
values provides maximum protection and eliminates nuisance tripping.

The Remaining Thermal Capacity can be viewed by using the UP or
DOWN arrow keys when in the Status Display mode. From the default
Phase A Current screen (dot on right side), press the UP arrow key 4
times to display [H100] meaning there is 100% of the Thermal Capacity
(H = Heat capacity) remaining in the motor. After starting or running, the
motor will use this capacity and the display will show a lower number.
For example, after a cold start, the display may read [H065] which
indicates that the motor has 65% of its thermal capacity remaining (35%
used). The Status Display screens cycle back to the beginning, so the
Down arrow keys can get to this display as well.

 3.1.2.a Motor Full Load (FLA) Setting

Use Function F001 to enter motor FLA as indicated on the motor
nameplate. (Do not calculate for service factor, this is programmed
separately in F002).

 NOTE:

All TE Series starters are shipped from the factory with F001 set to
a default value of 0000. If F001 is left at the factory default, the unit
will not operate. If the user attempts to start the TE Series without
entering the motor nameplate FLA, the starter will Fault and the
display will read “nFLA” (no Full Load Amps).

3.1.3 Disabling the Overload Protection

The Overload Protection feature can be disabled if necessary. When
using external devices such as Motor Protection Relays or when the TE
Series is wired downstream from an existing starter, this feature can be
disabled to prevent conflicts with external overload protection devices.
When the TE Series is controlling multiple motors, the built-in Overload
protection must be disabled and individual thermal overload relays must
be installed on the motor leads going to each motor (see appendix 5 for
additional details). To disable the Overload Protection function, use
F005.

WARNING

Do NOT disable Overload Protection unless another Thermal Overload Protection
device exists in the circuit for all three phases. Running a motor without Overload

Protection presents serious risk of motor damage or fire.

 3.1.3.a Manual Reset

The factory default setting is Manual Reset. This means that when
the Overload Trip is activated, the starter cannot be restarted
without pressing the Reset key. The Overload Trip will not reset
until the motor cools down (see 3.1.3.d). The Manual Reset function
is also “trip free”. Holding in the Reset key will not prevent the
Overload Trip from activating and protecting the motor.

 NOTE:

When the Overload Trip activates, the Overload LED will glow solid.
When the motor cools down, the LED will begin to flash, indicating
that the Overload Trip can be reset.

 3.1.3.b Automatic Reset

If Automatic Reset is necessary, change from Manual Reset to
Automatic Reset by using Function F005. (See Section 5 for
details). In this mode, a 3-wire control circuit will be capable of
restart when the TE Series has reset itself after the cool down
period.

WARNING

Two-wire control systems may restart without warning when Auto
Reset of the overload protection is selected. Extreme caution
should be exercised. To prevent automatic restarting with 2-wire
control systems, use external interlocking to provide sufficient
warning and safety to operators. A Warning Label similar to that
shown below (and the one provided in the packet with this manual)
must be located where visible (on the starter enclosure and/or the
driven equipment) as required by local code.

WARNING: MOTOR CONNECTED TO THIS EQUIPMENT

MAY START AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

 3.1.3.c Overload Protection During Bypass

When an integral Bypass Contactor is used to shunt power around
the SCRs in the TE Series (as in the TE…-BP version), overload
protection is maintained as long as the TE Series is directly
controlling the contactor. No additional Overload Relay is

necessary for normal operation.

CAUTION

If a Bypass Contactor is added by the user in the field (i.e. 210A units and above), care
must be taken to ensure proper power routing to ensure functioning of the Overload
protection. Consult factory for assistance.

 When the Bypass Contactor on a TE…-BP Series has been

selected to be used for Across-the-Line restart (reference section

1.2.3), supplemental overload protection may be necessary. For this
application, refer to the External Overload Relay Applications
supplement and wiring diagram in Appendix 5 and section 4.2.6.a.

 3.1.3.d Dynamic Reset Capacity

The TE Series includes the ability to dynamically track the Thermal
Capacity needed for a successful restart after an overload trip. It
averages the Thermal Capacity consumed in the previous three
successful starts, and calculates a Thermal Capacity to Start
(viewed in Function F059). After tripping on Overload, the Thermal
Register must have regained the amount recorded in F059 before a
Reset will be allowed. If the display reads [ Inh] when attempting to
reset an overload trip, it is indicating that the starter is Inhibited from
being reset.

Refer to details of Function F071 for information on emergency
override of lockouts such as this.

3.2 NEMA Class Trip Curves

NEMA Class trip curves are based on a common tripping point of 600%
of motor Full Load Amps (FLA). Curves vary by the amount of time
before the unit trips. As an example, a Class 20 curve will trip in 20
seconds at 600% of FLA. The factory default setting of Class 10 will trip
in 10 seconds at 600% of FLA.

3.2.1 Dual Overload Trip Curves

The TE Series Soft Starter provides two separate Overload Trip
Protection Curves, one for starting and one for running conditions. The
starter’s At-Speed detection circuit determines when the motor has
reached full speed. When the At-Speed condition is reached, the
overload trip curve will shift from the Start to the Run level, as
programmed in Functions F003 and F004. See Section 5.6.1 for
programming details.

3.2.2 Starting Overload Trip Curve

During the start mode, Overload Trip Curves are selectable from NEMA
Class 5 through Class 20 only. The default setting of Class 10 allows
protection for the overload capacity of the soft starter as well as the
motor. Use a higher Trip Class only if nuisance tripping occurs with the
default setting.

13

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

3.2.3 Running Overload Curve

During the Run mode, Overload trip curves are selectable from NEMA
Class 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30. Program the appropriate curve
according to the characteristics of your motor and load.

4.1 Power Connections

Connect appropriately sized power conductors to the unit input
terminals marked L1, L2, L3 (R, S, T for IEC users). Connection points
for units of 160A and below are saddle clamps suitable for stranded
wire. Connection points for units of 210A and above are bus tabs with
pre-drilled holes (see section 2). Use appropriate compression or
mechanical lugs for termination to these bus tabs. Avoid routing power
wires over the control board or display. Connect the motor leads to the
unit terminals marked T1, T2, T3 (U, V, W for IEC users). Refer to local

.

code standards for wire sizing and length.
If control power is present, but line power is disconnected from L1, L2,

for use in NEMA 1 ventilated
enclosures only. Do not use the TE
starter in a sealed enclosure without a
bypass contactor.

CAUTION

Never interchange input and output connections to
the unit. This could cause excessive voltage in the
control logic circuit and may damage the unit.

G

4.1.1 Bypass Contactor

Bypass Contactors are integral (built-in) on all TE…-BP (panel mount),
and all TE…–E (NEMA 12 enclosed) versions. See sections 3.2.1.c and

4.2.5 for more details on contactor control and overload protection
details.

4.1.2 Power Factor Correction Capacitors

Power factor correction capacitors can be connected to motors
controlled by TE Series starters, however they must be off-line during
ramping. Connect PFC capacitors to the Line side of the starter with a

separate capacitor control contactor.

WARNING

Never connect power factor correction capacitors on
the load side of the unit. The SCRs will be seriously
damaged if capacitors are located on the load side.

4.1.3 Grounding

Connect the ground cable to the ground terminal as labeled on the unit.
Refer to the National Electrical Code or your local Code for the proper
ground wire sizing and be sure that the ground connector is connected
to earth ground. In ungrounded systems, it is not necessary to connect
a ground to the unit however local codes should always be consulted.

15

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

4.1.4 Testing
The TE Series can be tested with a load smaller than the motor it was

originally selected to control, however additional steps must be taken to
avoid tripping on Phase Current Loss. See section 5.6.9.a under “Phase
Loss Protection” for additional details on performing this task.

 NOTE:

The unit cannot be tested without a motor or other test load
connected to the load side of the unit. It may be necessary to use a
load bank to test the unit without a motor.

 Line voltage will appear across the output terminals if there is no

motor or load connected to the unit.

 IMPORTANT NOTE:

Fault code SSd may display if there is no output load connection
when control power is applied!

4.1.5 Lightning Protection

As with all electronic power controllers, protection from damage by
lightning surges is recommended in areas where lightning is a
significant problem. Stationary air gap lightning arrestors should be
considered and utilized on the input power source. The best method of
protection is to have an Isolation Contactor in front of the starter that is
open when the soft starter is not in use.

4.2 Control Connections

Control connections on the TE Series starter are divided into 2 groups.
With the unit oriented vertically, TB1 is a 12-point DC terminal block (on
the left), and TB2 is a 10 point AC terminal block (on the right side).
These are removable terminal blocks
servicing, and are provided with different spacing (pitch) between the
header pins so they are not interchangeable. Following are descriptions
of control connection points.

 NOTE:

Terminal numbers are shown on the side of the first and last
terminal of each block. An additional 3 point terminal on the far left
side is for serial communication connections (see section 5.6.11).

.2.1.a Control Power Requirements

When sizing a control power transformer for the TE…-BP Series
starter use the above chart for minimum sizes or supply capacity.
Any additional control devices powered by the same CPT must be
added to the above figures to ensure proper operation of the
Bypass Contactor.

 NOTE:

TE-210 and larger units are available without the Bypass Contactor,
but fans are still included. CPT can be sized for fan loads only if
used in NEMA 1 ventilated enclosures.

 4.2.1.b Control Fusing

Output relays in TB2 must be protected from currents in excess of
5A, either with a fuse or with other suitable current protection
devices.

 A dedicated fault output for use in PLC or interposing relay control

is available on TB1. This opto-isolated Triac switch is rated for
50mA max., 10-250V AC/DC. Any circuit connected to it must be
fused accordingly.

4.2.2 Three-Wire Control Connection

For standard 3-wire control, connect dry (voltage free) contacts of the

OPTO

Stop / Start buttons as shown on the diagram directly above the terminal
strip. Connect the NO contact of the Start button to Terminal #1 (far left
terminal), the common point between the Stop and Start to Terminal #2

nd

(2

from left) and the NC from the Stop button to Terminal #3 (3rd from

left).
 4.2.2.a Seal In Contact

The TE Series uses an internally pre-wired “seal-in” contact around
the Start button (Terminals 1 and 2). No external relay or auxiliary
output connection is necessary.

4.2.3 Two Wire Control: Relay / PLC Connection

An alternate connection for automated or unattended operation replaces

OPTO

start/stop push buttons by connecting a dry (voltage free) maintained
contact closure between terminals 1 and 3 as shown in Figure 4.2.3.
When this contact is closed, the TE Series starter will start and run.
When it is opened, it is the same as a Stop command.

 4.2.3.a Automatic Functions and 2 Wire Control

If using the Time Clock functions (F032-F039) or Auto Reset
functions (F052 – F053), special consideration must be given to
using 2 wire control. Refer to Appendix 3 for additional details and
information on time clock functions, and section 5.6.9 for details on
using Auto-Reset functions.



NOTE:

When a maintained contact is used for start/stop it is advisable to
set the overload relay to the manual reset position. This will prevent
the motor from restarting if the thermal overload trips and then cools
off.

CAUTION

Control Terminals 1-10 of TB1 are a 24VDC circuit from an internal
power supply of the TE Series.

Use dry (unpowered) contact closures only. Applying any voltage
to these terminals will result in damage to the TE Series control
board.

If existing 120VAC or other powered control circuit must be
interfaced, use interposing relays or control the TE Series wit h 2
wire control as shown above.

4.2.4 Interlock Connection

TB1 provides a connection point for an external dry (voltage free) N.C.

OPTO

(Normally Closed) interlock device between terminals 4 and 5.
Examples where this interlock connection would be used include low oil,
high temperature, or excess vibration dropout from user supplied
devices. A factory-installed jumper is provided which allows the TE
Series unit to operate if external interlocks are not used. If this jumper is
removed and an interlock is not

used, the TE Series unit will not

function.

 4.2.5.a Dual Ramp Command

Closing a dry (voltage free) contact between TB1, terminals 6 and 7
will enable Ramp 2, and the TE Series starter will respond to the
settings for Ramp 2 in F015 - F018. If no contact closure is present,
the TE Series starter defaults to the Ramp 1 parameters (F011 –
F014). See Section 5.6.2.a for setup of the Dual Ramp Feature.

The Dual Ramp feature is useful in instances where the load
changes significantly. Example: a loaded or unloaded conveyor belt.
The characteristics for starting an unloaded conveyor can be
programmed for ramp 1. The characteristics for starting a loaded
conveyor can be programmed for ramp 2. Ramp 2 can also be
programmed for Full Voltage / Across-the-Line starting by setting
the ramp time to 0 and Current to 600%.

Dual Ramp is also useful in 2-speed motor applications. Simply use
an auxiliary contact from one of the speed contactors to select
Ramp 2 so that separate ramp profiles can be used.

 4.2.5.b Jog / Remote Command

OPTO

Connecting a dry (voltage free) contact between TB1, Terminals 7
and 8 will enable the Jog feature. A Start command (Run Command
or Start button) is required to activate the Jog feature. See Section

5.6.3 for setup of the Jog Function.
The Jog feature can be used for tasks such as lining up machines

for blade or bit changes or inching belts along to check tracking.
This input is also used to change the function of the Serial

Communications port control through F068. For additional
information, see instructions of that function in section 5.6.11.

 4.2.5.c Using Both Commands

OPTO

It may be useful to initialize the Ramp 2 and Jog command
simultaneously when jogging. If this is the case, terminals 6 and 8
can be jumped together and controlled with one contact closure to
Terminal 7 (the common 24VDC).

The TE Series starter is provided with input terminals for connecting a

OPTO

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Thermistor that may be
imbedded in the motor. These are specialized resistors imbedded in
some motor windings that increase resistance as the temperature
increases. When the TE Series detects that the PTC input resistance is
too high, it initiates a PTC trip, and displays it on the readout as
[ PTc ]. This is independent of the Thermal Register overload current
protection and provides supplemental protection for high motor ambient
temperature applications. Terminals for this input are provided with a
factory jumper that must be removed if the PTC input is used. These
terminals are located on TB1, Terminals 9 and 10.

PTC resistors are also found in other devices such as bearings, air
receivers, oil or coolant reservoirs and air discharge systems that may
require shutdown of the motor.

PTC Resistor Values:

Resistance must be greater than or equal to 750 Ω at 25ºC. If multiple
resistors are used in the motor, the sum of all resistors in series must
equal or exceed this value.

 4.2.6.a External Over Load Relay Connection

OPTO

If an external Over Load Relay (OLR) is used (see Section 3.1.3.c
and Appendix 5), connect the NC aux. contact of the OLR to the
PTC input after removing the jumper. When the external OLR trips,
the contact will open, opening the resistance input to the PTC circuit
(the resistance goes to infinity). This indicates an immediate Over
Load to the starter, which trips and displays it on the readout as

 [ PTc ] to differentiate from the internal Thermal Over Load trip. If

multiple OLRs are used, i.e. multiple motors controlled by the same
TE Series starter, simply wire the Aux Contacts in series as shown
in Figure 4.2.6.a. See Appendix 5 for additional information.



NOTE:

An Emergency Stop Push Button or any other field device may be
wired to the PTC input using NC contacts. When the contacts open,
the starter will detect it as a PTC trip. Even if a PTC is used in the
motor, field devices can still be added as long as the total circuit
resistance is not exceeded.



This feature is especially useful when using Decel Control because

it will immediately shut off power to the motor even if Decel is
active. If used this way, instruct the users as to the trip indication
issues (i.e. the display will show [ PTc ] and the Overload LED will
be on).

TB1, terminals 11 and 12, labeled “Opto”. The output Triac switch is
rated for 10 - 250 VAC/DC, 50 mA (maximum). If the three
programmable Output Auxiliary Relays are being used for other
functions, this output can easily be hooked up to a PLC or small
external relay to provide a Fault signal. This Fault Output operation is

R

permanently fixed at “Any Trip”, duplicating the Relay setting #16 as
shown in Table 5.6.10.

This output is permanently set to this function and is not
programmable.

4.2.8 Output (Auxiliary) Relay Contacts

Three programmable auxiliary relays are on TB2. The TE Series starter
comes with three programmable dry relay output contacts. Outputs #1
and #2 are Form C (SPDT), with a Common, N.O. and N.C. Output #3
is a Form A, (SPST), N.O. contact. It is not necessary to use the
programmable output auxiliary relays in the Start / Stop circuit. An
internal seal-in relay is provided elsewhere (see 4.2.2.a above). Toshiba
recommends fusing all contacts with external fuses.

The relays are rated for 240 VAC, 5 A and 1200 VA.
Factory default settings for these relays are as follows:
 AUX 1 – Run / Stop (see F060) This contact changes state upon a

Start command, returns to normal on Stop (or Begin Decel if active).

 AUX 2 – At-Speed / Stop (see F061) This contact changes state

upon the TE Series detecting At-Speed, and returns to normal on
Stop. At-Speed is determined by the TE Series detecting the
current dropping after reaching End-of-Ramp, or a maximum of 30
seconds after Start.

 AUX 3 – Any Trip (see F062) This contact closes when any trip

condition # 5 – 15 (as defined in Table 5.6.10) occurs.

All relays can be reprogrammed for a wide variety of functions.
See Section 5.6.10 for additional relay programming details.

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

4.2.9 Bypass Contactor Control

On TE…-BP version (and NEMA 12 enclosed) starters, an internal
dedicated connection is used at the factory for automatically controlling
the Bypass Contactor. Field wiring for Bypass Contactor operation is not
required.

 4.2.9.a Independent Bypass Contactor Control

The TE…-BP Series starters use standard industrial contactors that
can be controlled independent of the starter electronics if
necessary. When doing so, it is necessary to size the starter based
upon the ATL (Across-the-Line) selection chart so that the
contactors are rated for ATL duty instead of the normal Shunt Duty
(see section 1.2.3). Supplemental overload protection will be
required (see section 3.1.3.c).

Units have external terminal blocks marked for this purpose (see
Appendix 5 for drawings). A dry (voltage free) contact closure
between these terminals will close the bypass contactor
immediately. The Bypass Contactor coil voltage is the same as the
control voltage (120VAC unless the optional 240VAC control is
specified), and the potential on these terminals is the same as the
coil voltage.

No field wiring is necessary to these terminals if this feature is
not used.

For all other styles of TE Series, the At-Speed signaling can be
programmed into any of the three Output relays above (section 4.2.8
and Table 5.6.10).

The SCRs are at full conduction and current has

dropped.
Two or more SCRs in opposing phases have shorted,

and power is flowing to the motor in the Off mode. See
section 8 for additional concerns.

There is no voltage drop across at least one SCR
phase assembly, indicating that at least one SCR is
shorted. See section 8 for additional concerns

Overcurrent LED lights for three sets of fault conditions:

1) During start, the unit saw current exceed the
normal rate of increase in the first 250ms.

2) During Run, current exceeded either the OC setting
in F042 for the delay set in F043. This LED will be
accompanied by oCA, oCC or oCd on the display.

3) The unit has seen a Short Circuit exceeding 10x
FLA for 12.5ms. This LED will be accompanied by
SCA, SCC or SCD display.

One or more of the phase currents dropped below the
threshold during starting or running.

Starter has tripped due to excess heat sink
temperature. This will automatically reset.

Starter has tripped due to the Thermal Register
reaching 0000. The Overload must reset before this
fault can be cleared.

5.3 Display Modes

There are three modes of display: the Status Display Mode, the
Program Mode, and the Fault Mode.

5.3.1 Status Display Mode (Default Display)

The Status Display Mode displays seven “screens” of information. Motor
Currents (3 phases), Remaining Thermal Capacity, Ground Current,
Remaining Time on the Process Timer, and Time Base of the Time
Clock Controller. This is also the entry screen for going into the Program
Mode.

Status mode:
[0000.] The initial display on power up is four digits and the decimal.
This indicates the motor current for Phase A of the motor.

[0000] Scroll UP to display four digits only (no decimal). This indicates
the motor current for Phase B. While viewing Phase B, press the UP
arrow again to view Phase C current.

[G000] Scroll UP to display the “G”. This indicates that this value is the
current flowing to ground on the motor leads.

[H000] Scroll UP to display the “H”. This indicates that this value is the
remaining thermal capacity percentage of the motor (i.e. H070 = 70%
remaining thermal capacity)

[0000] Scroll UP again to display the Process Batch Timer (described in
Section 5.6.7). If this entire screen is flashing, the Timer is active.

[00.00] Scroll UP to display two pairs of digits separated by a point: This
indicates the time base of the Time Clock Controller (described in
section 5.6.7). If the display shows [00.00], the TCC is not enabled. This
follows the time settings in F075 – F080.

Example: Figure 5.3.1

5.4 Program Mode

The starter must be OFF in order to enter the Program Mode.
Use the Program Mode to view or change Function (Fn) settings. To

enter the Program Mode, press the [Fn] key once from the Status
Screen described in 5.3.1 above. The first time you enter the Program
Mode after power has been cycled to the starter, the initial function
[F001] should display with the selected digit flashing. If the TE Series
starter has been programmed and power to the unit has not been
cycled, the readout will display the last function viewed or changed. To
change to a different function, use the arrow keys.

5.4.1 Viewing Function Programming and Values

The programming of each individual Function can be viewed without
making changes (values can also be viewed in the Run Mode, however
no changes can be made). Each Function is signified by the letter “F” in
the beginning of the data, the 4 digit value of the function follows after
hitting the [READ/ENTER] key

• [F001] The “F” indicates the programmable Function.

• [0000] This is the present setting of the applicable function. This

display may include decimals between digits depending on the function
setting’s range and incremental steps.

(F070 = 0). If it becomes necessary to prevent parameters from being
changed inadvertently, set the password in function F070. See
Appendix 3 for details. If the display reads [ Loc] when the

[READ/ENTER] key is pressed, the parameter lock is enabled.

5.4.3 Changing a Function’s Set Value

From the instructions above, after hitting the [READ/ENTER] key the
display will show the value of that function with one digit flashing
(usually the rightmost digit). Flashing indicates this is the digit to be
altered (similar to cursor position). Use the UP arrow key to increment
the value of the flashing digit. Use the DOWN arrow key to decrement
the value of the flashing digit. Use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow to select
the next digit to be altered. Values can only be changed within the
Adjustment Range of the function parameter.

5.4.5 Fault Mode

The Fault Mode Display provides information to the operator when a
fault occurs and allows the operator to review fault history. Refer to
Section 7 for details. Fault codes are three-digits in length and are
displayed in alpha characters. The first and second characters (reading
left to right) are the initials for the applicable English-language fault
name. The third or right-most character can be either A, c, or d to
denote when the fault occurred. “A” denotes Acceleration. “c” denotes
Constant speed. “d” denotes Decel.

Example: Figure 5.4.5

Viewing a Fault and History

[ PLA.] Indicates that there was a Phase Loss during

Acceleration. The Decimal point on the right
signifies that this is the current fault.

Press the UP Arrow key

[ iBc] Displays the previous fault, a Phase Imbalance

during Constant Speed (running)

Press the UP Arrow key

[ oLc] Displays the oldest fault, an Over Load trip

during Constant speed (running).

Press [RESET] key

[rSt ] Flashes once to indicate a successful Reset of

the current fault. If it cannot be reset, the
display will read [ inH ] for Inhibited.

[0000.] Returns to Default Display, indicating that the

unit is ready to re-start.

This Fault History can only be accessed during a fault condition. While
the active fault number is being displayed, use the Up and Down Arrow
keys to scroll through the Fault History. An additional Fault History
complete with Time and Date stamps is also available for viewing at any
time in F085 through F093.

 5.4.5.a Resetting Faults

Once a fault condition has been corrected, pressing the Reset key
will return the readout to the Status Display mode. To reset faults,
press the [RESET] key on the keypad. Alternatively, most faults will
reset upon removal and return of control power. Over Load trips will
NOT be reset in this way unless sufficient time has passed for the
Thermal Register to regain sufficient capacity for a successful
restart (see section 3.1).

 5.4.5.c Automatic Reset

The TE Series starter provides for automatic reset on certain non­critical faults and Over Load. For non-critical fault resets, see
section 5.6.9 for program details of F052 and F053. For automatic
Over Load reset, see section 3.1 and 5.6.1 for programming details.

 5.4.5.d Lockout Functions

Lockout functions such as Minimum Time Between Starts and
Starts per Hour are not true fault conditions. They are based on the
internal Real Time Clock (RTC). When control power is removed,
the RTC value is quickly stored. Upon return of power, the timer
values are updated from the RTC for elapsed time. If the Lockout
Time has not expired, the TE Series cannot be started. To reset the
Lockout Times for emergency restart, see section 5.6.12, under
F071.

 5.4.5.e Changing to Default Screen During Fault

In some cases it may be necessary to alter programmed
parameters in order to test or make changes to clear a fault (such
as Phase Loss) or to view the more detailed fault history in F085 –
F097. To accomplish this, you must get to the Status Screen so the
Fn button becomes active. When in a Fault Screen, pressing the
Right or Left Arrow buttons will take you to the Status Screen. From
there, you can hit the [Fn] key to enter the Programming Mode and
move to different functions.

5.6 Function Descriptions

Your TE Series starter is set at the factory with typical default settings
that perform well in most applications. Following are detailed
descriptions of each Function and the factory default settings.

5.6.1 Motor and Overload Function Descriptions

F001= Motor FLA

Factory Setting = 0

MOTOR FLA (F001)

must be programmed

for unit to oper ate!

 NOTE:

F002 = Service Factor

 NOTE:

F003 = Overload Class During Start

Range = 50 - 100% of Unit Max. Current.

Set the value of this function to the motor nameplate Full Load
Amps (FLA). Adjustments for service factor are not necessary
when programming this function. (See note below). If the motor
nameplate FLA is not available, use typical values as shown in
NEC, NEMA standard MG-1 or other reputable third party
source (motor manufacturer, etc.).

To prevent adjusting the settings beyond the starter Max Amp
rating, the range of adjustment for the Motor Nameplate FLA will
vary in accordance with the Service Factor as programmed into
F002. At the default setting of 1.0SF, the full range of adjustment
from 50 - 100% of the Max Amp rating is available. As the Service
Factor is increased, the FLA range will drop by an equal ratio. For
example if F002 = 1.15 (a 1.15 Service Factor), the maximum FLA
programmable into F001 will be limited to 85% of the starter Max.
Amp rating (100% - 15%).

Factory Setting = 1.0 S.F.
Range = 1.00 - 1.30

Set value according to the Service Factor (SF) data provided on
the motor’s nameplate. This value affects several protection
features so it must be accurate. Setting the SF too high may
result in motor damage in an overload condition. Setting SF too
low may cause nuisance trips however; a 1.0 SF setting is
safest if SF is unknown.

The combination of F002 and F001 (FLA x SF) cannot exceed the
Unit Max Amp rating. If when programming F002 you are not
allowed to raise the setting, the combined total has been exceeded.

Factory Setting = 10 (Class 10)
Range = NEMA / UL Class 5 - 20

Set value to the motor protection overload class required for the
application. It is recommended that you try the factory setting
first. (If possible, keep values for F003 and F004 the same.)
Increase F003 above F004 only if nuisance tripping occurs
during start. See Section 3.2 for details on trip curves.

36

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

F004 = Overload Class During Run

Factory Setting = 10 (Class 10)
Range = 5 - 30 NEMA / UL Class

Set value according to the instructions provided by your motor /
equipment manufacturer. This trip curve will not be enabled until
the motor has reached full speed.

F005 = Overload Reset

Factory Setting = 0 (Manual)
Range = 0 – 2

Set value to determine starter behavior after an overload
condition has cleared.

When set to 0 = Manual, the operator must press the [RESET]
key before restarting the motor. Once the motor windings have
cooled sufficiently AND the [RESET] key is pressed, the unit
will accept a restart command.

When set to 1 = Automatic mode, and once sufficient time has
elapsed allowing motor windings to cool, the motor will be
restarted upon a start command. If 2-wire control is used, the
unit will restart immediately.

When set to 2 = Disabled Overload, the TE Series will not
on Motor Thermal Overload. This is provided for applications
where either an external Overload Relay or Motor Protection
Relay is used, or where multiple motors are connected and
each one requires having an individual Overload Relay. See
Appendix 5 for more details.

trip

WARNING

Setting F005 = 1 (Automatic) may present significant operational risk.
When F005 = 2 (Disabled Overload), a separate external thermal overload protection device

must be in the circuit.

 NOTE:

Because of the risk of fire or equipment damage, cycling control
power will NOT reset an Overload Trip. If F005 = 2 (Automatic
Reset), cycling control power will allow reset ONLY IF the Thermal
Register has determined that the motor has regained sufficient
thermal capacity to allow it to restart successfully.

F006 - F009 = Reserved

37

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

5.6.2 Starting Mode

The TE Series is capable of several different starting modes, but is set
from the factory for the most common applications. A second ramp
profile is available for use should you need it. Unless wired to do so, the
TE Series defaults to Ramp 1. This section describes functions for
Ramp 1, with references to function numbers that do the same thing for
Ramp 2 (if required). Refer to Appendix 2 for a detailed description
of the differences in Ramp Profiles and their uses. All current
percentages are based on the Motor FLA as programmed in F001.

F010 = Ramp Profile Selection

Factory Setting = 1
Range = 1 – 4

This Function selects the type of Ramp Profile desired. Ramp
profiles can be either Voltage Ramp or Current Ramp. See
Appendix 2 for details. Each Ramp Profile consists of 3 settings:
Initial Torque, Ramp Time and Maximum Current Limit.
Because there are two ramps available, there are 4 settings to
cover the combinations of profiles possible. If you are not using

nd

the 2

ramp, the TE Series will ignore all settings in reference

to Ramp 2.

 NOTE:

When either Ramp is set to “Voltage Ramp”, the corresponding
“Initial Torque (Current)” setting is ignored. Conversely, when set to
“Current Ramp”, the “Initial Torque (Voltage)” is ignored.

Ramp 2

38

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

F011 = Initial Voltage of Ramp 1

Factory Setting = 60%
Range = 0 - 100%

Sets the initial voltage of ramp 1 when F010 = 1 or 3. The initial
torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to
make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque
shock damage to mechanical components.

F012 = Initial Current of Ramp 1

Factory Setting = 200%
Range = 0 - 600%

Sets the initial current of ramp 1 (when F010 = 2 or 4). The
initial torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to
make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque
shock damage to mechanical components.

F013 = Accel Ramp Time of Ramp 1

Factory Setting = 10 seconds
Range = 1 - 120 seconds

Sets the time between the initial torque (set with F011 or F012)
and either the Max Current Limit (set with F014) or full output
voltage. Set time to enable soft starts without stalls. Also,
consider your motor’s application. For example, centrifugal
pumps may require a shorter ramp time.

 NOTE:

Ramp time is affected by the following conditions:

1. Current limit will extend the ramp time if the motor does not reach
full speed while in current limit mode.

2. Anti-oscillation circuit may shorten the ramp time if the motor
reaches full speed before end of ramp.

F014 = Max Current Limit of Ramp 1

Factory Setting = 350%
Range = 200 - 600%

Sets the maximum motor current that the TE Series starter will
allow during Ramp 1. This limit applies to both voltage and
current-type ramping. Current will be limited to this setting until
either the motor reaches full speed or the over load protection
feature trips (F003).

39

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

 5.6.2.a Ramp 2 (user-optional ramp)

This ramp is selected by closing the input for Ramp 2, TB1 –
terminals 5 & 6 (see section 4.2.5). If this input is left open, the TE
Series will respond only to Ramp 1 settings as listed above. Since
ramp 2 is always used as an alternate to the default Ramp 1,
different combinations of ramp profiles can be selected in F010.
Refer to Appendix 1 for additional information on ramp profiles.

F015 = Initial Torque (Voltage) of Ramp 2

Factory Setting = 60%
Range = 0 - 100%

Sets the initial voltage of Ramp 2 when F010 = 1 or 4. The
initial torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to
make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque
shock damage to mechanical components.

F016 = Initial Torque (Current) of Ramp 2

Factory Setting = 200%
Range = 0 - 600%

Sets the initial current of Ramp 2 when F010 = 2 or 3. The initial
torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to
make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque
shock damage to mechanical components.

F017 = Accel Ramp Time of Ramp 2

Factory Setting = 10 seconds
Range = 1 - 120 seconds

Sets the time between the initial torque (set with F015 or F016)
and either the Max Current Limit (set with F018) or full output
voltage. Set time to enable soft starts without stalls. Also
consider your motor’s application. For example, centrifugal
pumps may require a shorter time. See NOTE under F013 for
more details.

F018 = Max Current Limit of Ramp 2

Factory Setting = 350%
Range = 200 - 600%

Sets the maximum motor current that the TE Series starter will
allow during ramp 2. (This limit applies to both voltage and
current-type ramping.) Current will be limited to this setting until
either the motor reaches full speed or the over load protection
feature trips (F003).

 NOTE:

Ramp 2 is often useful as a “bump start” or as a temporary Across­the-Line start mode. Consult Appendix 1 for details.

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

5.6.3 Jog Mode

The Jog Function is another user optional feature and is controlled by
closing the input on TB1 Terminals 6 and 7. If this input is left open, the
TE Series will ignore all Jog settings. Engaging the Jog feature along
with the Start / Run Command provides an output from the SCRs, but
will not continue ramping to full acceleration

. This feature can Jog the
motor at either a preset Voltage (F019 – F021) or a preset Current
(F021) depending upon the settings of the Ramp Type from F010, and
can be initiated along with Ramp 1 or Ramp 2 (see Dual Ramp Select,
Section 4.2.5 and 5.6.2.a). It is also sometimes useful to use Jog in
combination with Ramp 2, see section 4.2.5.c.

NOTE: Jog functions may become disabled by Comm port function F068 setting 3.
See section 5.6.11 for details.

Kick Start applies a pulse of voltage to the motor producing a
momentary “kick” of high torque to break the motor load free from high
friction or frozen components. This pulse is limited to 2 seconds.

F022 = Kick Start Voltage

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 10 - 100%

When F022 = anything but 0, a voltage “pulse” is applied before
the initial torque setting of F011 (or F012 if Current Ramp). This
sets the voltage level and the duration of the pulse is set by
F023. This setting should be higher than F011 (except for Dwell
Starting, see below) and high enough to provide a benefit in the
worst starting condition.

F023 = Kick Time

Factory Setting = 0.8 seconds
Range = 0.1 - 2 seconds

Sets the duration of time the Kick Start voltage is applied.

 5.6.4.a “Dwell” operation using Kick Start

In some applications such as chain drive machinery, the Kick Start
feature can be used to slowly take up slack in the drive chain before
applying full torque. This is referred to as “Dwell Starting” because
the torque output stays low for a short time. To take advantage of
this feature, simply set the Kick Start to the same level as the Initial
Torque setting. This will only work in Voltage Ramp mode.

 NOTE:

Do not use the Kick Start feature unless you determine that you
need it. Using this feature may eliminate many of the mechanical
and electrical benefits of using a Soft Starter.

5.6.5 Pump-Flex

Pump-Flex

deceleration is a feature of the TE Series Soft Starter that
slowly decreases the applied voltage to the motor when a stop
command is given, resulting in a gentle decrease in motor torque.
Deceleration provides a way to extend the stopping time so that abrupt
stopping does not occur. Deceleration is useful with centrifugal pumps,
material handlers, and conveyors where abrupt stopping could be
damaging to the equipment and/or load.

Decel Mode (F025 through F028)

WARNING

Setting F025 = 2 presents significant risk of over-heating the motor beyond its design limits
which could result in motor damage and fire hazard. Do this only in circumstances where
the potential for mechanical damage outweighs the risk of motor damage.

of braking. Enabling the Decel feature will make the motor take

The TE Series can be programmed to delay restarting upon restoration
of line power after an outage. This allows multiple units to be
programmed to restart at staggered times in an effort to avoid causing
additional problems with the power supply system. Another term for this
is “Sequential Start Delay”.

F028 = Restart Delay Time

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0 = Disabled (no delay), or 1 - 999 seconds

Sets a delay time before the starter can be restarted after a
complete loss of power. Use this if multiple motors are
connected to a supply system that may have trouble providing
adequate power to restart them all at the same time. By using
different Restart Delay Times on each unit, a sequential restart
can be achieved.

 NOTE:

This is similar to the Coast Down Lockout Timer in F048, however it
only activates on Power Loss.

5.6.7 Process Timer Control Mode (F030 through F039):

The following special functions allow the TE Series starter to operate
automatically from a Process Control Timer using an internal Real Time
Clock.

Only brief descriptions of the functions are provided here.

operations and instructions.

 NOTE:

These functions may interact with the Coast Down Lockout (F048),
Starts-per-Hour Lockout (F049), Minimum Time Between Starts
(F050), Auto-Reset (F052 and 53) and Restart Delay Time (F028)
functions if enabled. Be sure to review and understand settings for
these functions before using the Process Timer.

F030 = Process Control Timer Selection

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0, 1, 2

This function enables a Process Control Timer, which may be
used alone or in conjunction with the Time Clock Controller
feature (F032-F039). This timer offers two operating modes,
selected by entering 1 or 2 into the function parameter:

Setting 1 = Minimum (Batch) Run Timer: After a Start
Command, the starter runs until the batch timer expires. If
stopped and restarted it will complete that batch time sequence.

Setting 2 = Permissive Run Timer. After a Start Event from
the TCC, the starter can be started and stopped as necessary,
until the timer expires.

F031 = Process Timer Value

Factory Setting = 1
Range = 1 – 9999 minutes

This function loads a value into the Process Timer above. When
initialized, the value counts down towards 0.

 NOTE:

The above Process Control Timer in F030 – F031 works in
conjunction with the Time Clock Controller in F032 – F039. When
the TCC is set to One-Shot (F032 = 0), this timer will activate
whenever a Start Command is given. When F032 = any other
setting, this timer activates according to that schedule.

This function is used to select the operating mode of the 24hr /
7 Day Time Clock Controller (TCC). F032 sets the number of
days in which the TCC will repeat the Start Event Cycle of up to
seven discrete Start Events selected in F033 through F039.
After each Start Event, the TE Series will run per the time value
set in F030 above. If F030 = 0, the TCC settings are ignored.

5.6.8 Current and Ground Fault Protection Features

F040 – F050 set extended protection features that may be used in the
TE Series starter. Percentages shown are all based automatically upon
the Motor FLA setting from F001 (except Ground Fault, F046). No
additional calculations are necessary.

 NOTE:

All of these features are disabled at the factory and must be
enabled via user programming as follows:

F040 = Current Imbalance Trip

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 5 - 30% or 0 (Disabled)

Use to set the trip level for when current imbalance between
any two phases exceeds this amount for the time specified with
F041.

F041 = Current Imbalance Trip Delay

Factory Setting = 2 seconds
Range = 1 - 20 seconds

Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short­duration transients. Using default settings, if the difference in
output current between two phases exceeds 10% of FLA for
more than 2 seconds, the starter will trip.

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 100 - 300%, 0 (Disabled)

When a value other than 0 is entered for F042, the starter will
trip when the output current of any phase exceeds the amount
set and the time specified in F043. This is also referred to as a
“Shear Pin Trip” and can be used to protect mechanical
components from breaking due to jammed loads.

Factory Setting = 1 second
Range = 1 - 20 seconds

Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short­duration transients. For example using default settings, if the
output current of any phase exceeds F042 for more than 1
second, the starter will trip.

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 10 - 90%, or 0 (Disabled)

When a value other than 0 is entered for F044, the starter will
trip when the output current of any phase drops below the
amount set, and the time specified in F045. This fault condition
is often referred to as a “Load Loss Trip” and can be used to
detect a broken shaft, V belt or other mechanical drive system
component. In pumping applications, this can be used as a
“Loss of Prime” trip.

Factory Setting = 2 seconds
Range = 1 - 60 seconds

Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short­duration transients. Using default setting, if the output current of
any phase drops below F044 for more than 2 seconds, the
starter will trip.

47

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

 5.6.8.a Ground Fault

F046 – F047 provides Ground Fault protection for equipment only
(a.k.a. Arcing Ground Fault) using the Residual Current method.
Trip settings are based on the CT ratio as shown in F074 (see
below). A delay time is available in F047 to help prevent nuisance
trips. Ground current can always be viewed in the Status Display,
shown with a “G” prefix (see section 5.3.1).

WARNING

THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS "PERSONNEL PROTECTION" GROUND FAULT!
This feature is only intended to provide a level of equipment protection against dama ging
ground currents. Ground faults are potentially dangerous conditions and must be
corrected immediately for safety of operating personnel.

F046 = Ground Fault Trip

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 5 - 90% of CT value, or 0 (Disabled)

When a value other than 0 is entered for F046, the starter will
trip if current to ground exceeds this percentage of the unit CT
value. The CT value is shown in F074 (see section 5.6.12). This
value is different from the Unit Rating or FLA setting. To
calculate actual ground current, multiply the CT value of F074
by the setting of F046.
Example:
210A starter, desired Ground Fault Trip level is 20A:
On this unit, the CT value reading from F074 will be 250 (250:5)
20 / 250 = 0.08 (8%)
Set F046 to 8

F047 = Ground Fault Trip Delay

Factory Setting = 2 seconds
Range = 1 - 60 seconds

Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short­duration transients. Using default setting, if the Ground Fault
current exceeds the level set in F046 for more than 2 seconds,
the starter will trip.

CAUTION

This method of Ground Fault sensing may not provide adequate
equipment protection in resistance-grounded systems. We

recommend providing external GF protection using a core
balanced Zero Sequence CT for those types of applications.
Consult factory for additional assistance.

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

5.6.9 Lockouts, Reset and Internal Protection Features
F048 – F050 provide lockout protection for motors and equipment that
may have potentially damaging consequences from premature restart or
with limited duty cycles. Time and count values for these lockouts can
be viewed in F055 – F058. Time values are based on the Real Time
Clock and DONOT reset when power is lost or disconnected.
Emergency clearing of lockouts can be accomplished in F071.

 NOTE:

When F048 through F050 are used with 3 wire control systems, a
Start command will not seal in during lockout time. When time has
expired, a new Start command will be necessary.

WARNING

When F048 through F050 are used with 2-wire
automatically when time has expired. Adequate warnings similar to those in Section

3.1.3.b should be observed.

Figure 5.6.9:

Coast Down Lockout Timer

control, the starter may re-start

F048 = Coast Down Lockout Timer (Back Spin Timer)

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 60 minutes, or 0 (Disabled)

When F048 = 1 through 60, this sets the number of minutes that
the starter must be off before a restart can be attempted. This
function is useful in applications such as pump motor backspin
protection (where you need to prevent the pump motor from
restarting if it is spinning backwards), 2 speed operations where
speed changes require a minimum disconnect (spin-down
timer), or reversing applications to prevent plugging (anti­plugging timer).

F049 = Maximum Starts per Hour Lockout

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 – 10 or 0 (Disabled)

If F049=1 through 10, this feature will count the number of start
commands within a 1 hour period. If the setting (maximum
starts per hour) is exceeded, starting is prohibited until sufficient
time has expired. This timer initiates upon the first start in an
hour. It resets after 1 hour from that start and waits until another
subsequent start to initiate again. (Often used in conjunction
with F050).

 NOTE:
 Consult the motor manufacturer for a “Starts-per-Hour” or “Starting

Duty Cycle” rating. Larger motors tend to have lower starts-per-hour
ratings.

 When using the Decel function (F025) or an electronic braking

option, count these cycles as additional “starts” when determining
maximum starts-per-hour.

49

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

F050 = Minimum Time Between Starts Lockout

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 60 minutes, or 0 (Disabled)

When F050 is set to 1 through 60, the motor cannot be
restarted within the time specified after the first start. Time
between starts is calculated from the time of the first start
command to the next regardless of run time or off time.

Example:
If F050 = 15, motor will not be allowed to re-start within 15
minutes of first start.

This function is useful as a “Short-Cycle Timer” in preventing
excessive wear on motors where automatic demand control
may occasionally cycle on and off too quickly, such as
compressors or sump pumps

 5.6.9.a Internal Protection Features

The TE Series starter contains additional protection features that
are built-into the hardware and factory preset. Function F051 is
provided to alter these settings via numerical preset programming.
For maximum protection, all of these features are turned On as a
factory default and should be left that way unless changes are
necessary for service purposes, testing or to accommodate non­standard applications. Factory default settings are as follows:

 Phase Rotation: Protection is ON,

expected rotation sequence is set for A-B-C

 Phase Current Loss (Running): Protection is ON, trips at <20% of

unit Max amps after 3 seconds of acceleration and at full speed.

 Shorted SCR: Protection is ON, unit will lock out if one SCR is

shorted (no voltage drop across the SCR)

 Shunt Trip: Protection is ON; unit trips if current flows in any phase

while in OFF mode.

 PTC Trip: Protection is ON; unit will trip if PTC Input resistance

exceeds set value (or open).

 Line Phase Loss (Stopped): Protection is ON; unit will trip if any

line voltage is not present while the unit is not accelerating or
stopped.

F051 = Internal Protection Features

Factory Setting = 127 (all enabled)
Range = 1 – 127: Numeric value representing bit locations

F051 represents the numeric value of a byte (8 bits) of memory
which enables or disables these features. Each bit within that
byte acts like a “dip switch” to alter the associated feature, but
instead of having to open the starter case, changes can be
done via the keypad. Each function has a fixed numeric decimal
value associated with it. Adding or subtracting decimal values to
this function changes the binary (On-Off) status of each bit and
is simply done by entering the new value into F051. The Factory
Default value is F051 = 0127, which has all features On.
Numeric values for each feature are as follows:

50

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

Phase Rotation Protection:
The TE Series is set up to monitor an expected Phase Rotation and trip
if it changes. Control of this is divided into two categories: On-Off and
Expected Sequence. The default setting is On, with and Expected
Sequence of A-B-C rotation.

The ability to turn this feature ON or OFF is useful in applications where
the TE Series starter is going to be used downstream from an existing
reversing contactor / starter, or to avoid conflicts with other protection
devices.

 Rotation Trip On-Off Control Numeric value = 1

If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,
Subtract 1 from F051
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 1 to F051
When set to On, a trip will occur when the Expected Sequence (see
below) is wrong.

On large motors where large multiple conductors are used, it may be
easier to change the Expected Sequence in the TE Series starter rather
than swap the conductors.

 Expected Phase Rotation Sequence Numeric Value = 2

If A-B-C rotation is the expected sequence (default setting) and you
want it to be A-C-B, subtract 2 from F051
If A-C-B rotation is the expected sequence and you want it to be
A-B-C, add 2 to F051
If Rotation Trip is set to Off (see above), this setting is ignored.

Phase Current Loss (Running) Protection:
This feature will cause a Trip if current
than 20% of the unit maximum amp rating after 3 seconds from a Start
Command (note that this is based on the Max Amp rating and not the
programmed FLA). Turn it to OFF if the motor no-load current is
exceptionally low such as in high inertia machines, or if you are testing
a large starter with a small motor.

 Phase Loss (Running) Protection Numeric Value = 4

If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,
Subtract 4 from F051
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 4 to F051

Shorted SCR Lockout protection:

This feature will cause a Lockout if at least one SCR is shorted, based
on the expected voltage drop across the SCR assembly when the unit is
OFF (a shorted SCR cannot be detected while the unit is running or in
Bypass mode). If someone who understands the ramifications of having
a shorted SCR issue requires an emergency restart, this feature can be
turned to OFF. This is not the same as a Shunt Trip circuit (see below).
This is a lockout of the NEXT start command.

 Shorted SCR Lockout Numeric Value = 8

If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,
Subtract 8 from F051
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 8 to F051

in any phase (or all 3) is less

.

51

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

Shunt Trip:

Shunt Trip is a feature that will cause an immediate Trip if the TE Series
detects current flowing through any phase (or all) when it is supposed to
be off. The trip function is typically associated with Aux. Relay setting 7
(see F060-63), wired to a Shunt Trip coil in an upstream circuit breaker
or an in-line contactor. This is so that power flow to the motor windings
can be interrupted to prevent damage. The usual cause is multiple
shorted SCRs or a welded Bypass Contactor. The only time this should
be turned off is for troubleshooting by Service personnel.

 Shunt Trip Numeric Value = 16

If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,
Subtract 16 from F051
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 16 to F051

PTC Trip:

This feature controls the inclusion of the PTC Input (see Section 4.2.7).
When ON (default setting), a jumper wire or other circuit must be
installed on the PTC input if a PTC resistor is not included in the motor.
Turn this feature to OFF for troubleshooting or if you do not want to
worry about the jumper wire.

 PTC Trip Numeric Value = 32

If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,
Subtract 32 from F051
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 32 to F051

Line Phase Loss (Stopped) Trip:

This feature will prevent the TE Series starter from attempting to start if
voltage in one (or more) of the incoming lines is not present. This can
be used to detect a blown fuse or power supply loss (as long as control
power is still available). It differs from the Phase Loss (Running) Trip
above in that it is based upon line voltage so does not require that a
Start Command be given. This trip function resets itself after
determining that all 3 phases have voltage applied. The voltage level at
which this feature activates is fixed at approximately 100VAC, but is not
adjustable and should not be used as Under Voltage protection.

 Line Phase Loss (Stopped) Trip Numeric Value = 64

If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,
Subtract 64 from F051
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 64 to F051

 NOTE:

1) When using an In-Line Isolation Contactor
to defeat this protection (by subtracting a numeric value of 64 from
F051) in order to avoid nuisance tripping whenever the In-Line
Contactor opens.

2) This protection will automatically reset itself when line voltage is
present on all 3 phases. When using 3-wire control the TE Series
will not attempt restarting unless the Start Command is reinitiated.

, it may be necessary

CAUTION



When using 2-wire control, the starter will restart when this
feature resets itself after all 3 phases are present.

At least one SCR has shorted; there is no voltage
drop across the SCR phase assembly.

Shunt Trip of the main Circuit Breaker or Isolation
Contactor (if provided and wired to an Aux. relay
in F060-F061)). 2 or more SCRs have shorted in
opposing phases so current was flowing to the
motor while the TE was in the Off state.

PTC Trip function. This can be disabled so that a

jumper is not required across the PTC inputs.

Protection against loss of input line voltage.
Disable when using an In-Line Isolation Contactor
or any other system that normally removes line
power from the starter. Resets automatically when
line voltage returns.

 NOTE:

To restore all settings back to the factory default, enter a value of

127. If you see a numeric value other than the default value of 127,
one or more features has already been altered. If you do not know
which one or ones are changed, the simplest thing to do is
determine what combination of settings you want now, and subtract
from 127 then enter that number to accomplish it.

Example: F051 reads a numeric value of 109, meaning that something

has been changed, but you don’t know what. By subtracting 109
from 127, you have a value of 18 remaining, and since 18 does not
represent a single bit, it means that some combination has been
used. Subtract the largest represented bit, i.e. bit #4 (value of 16),
which leaves a value of 2, representing bit #1. So in this example,
the Shunt Trip feature had been turned off, and the Expected Phase
Sequence had been changed to A-C-B.

If you do not wish to bother with what the previous settings were,
simply decide which features you now want to be turned on and
come up with a new numeric value to enter. For instance if you want
all features on, but you need phase rotation to be A-C-B (bit #1),
then simple subtract a value of 2 from 127, and enter 125 into F051.

 5.6.9.b Auto-Reset Programming (F052 – F054)

The TE Series can be programmed to automatically attempt to
reset after selected faults, provided a Start Command is present
(see Section 4.2) and the fault condition has been corrected. The
Fault Events to attempt restarting (F052) and number of reset
attempts (F053) are programmable as follows. If F053 is set to 0
(default setting), the TE Series will not attempt to restart
automatically.

 NOTE:

When using 3 wire control:
For safety reasons the TE Series will not attempt restarting unless
the Start Command is reinitiated and maintained during a restart
attempt.

F052 = Auto-Reset Selected Faults

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 12, or 0 (Disabled)

If F053 = 1 through 12, the TE Series will attempt to restart
after the fault(s) coded in the following table. Only one selection
can be entered.

3. NOTE 3: Overload Trip reset function is programmed only in F005. See Section 3 for details

4. NOTE 4: Reset attempts that occur when the fault condition is still present will cause a new

fault. This will be logged into the fault history (F085 – F093) and may overwrite previous fault
records.

order to successfully restart, and stores the information at this
Function. Upon power loss and restoration, this value is
updated for elapsed time.

5.6.11 Communications
The TE Series starter is shipped from the factory ready to accept
RS-485 Serial Communications using Modbus RTU protocol. Additional
detailed instructions on accomplishing communications are available in
a Serial Communication Supplement to this manual. F065 – F067 are
used to set the communications parameters in the starter for use by the
adaptor module. F068 determines how the Start / Stop functions work
through the comm. port.

F065 = Communications

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0 – 2

This enables serial communications with remote monitoring and
control systems and sets the format for Modbus RTU protocol.
Once Enabled, the local start / stop inputs are altered to avoid
inadvertent starting. See F068 for details.

When F065 = 0, communications are disabled.
When F065 = 1, uses the std 11 bit Modbus format w/ parity bit.
When F065 = 2, a non-standard 10-bit format without a parity

bit is used to accommodate some systems using this method.

Factory Setting = 0 (disabled)

Special Note when using Serial Comm:

When F068 = 3, the function of the Jog /
Remote Input on TB-1 terminals 7 and 8 will
change. Closing the Input will cause the
Comm. port control to function as per setting

1. Leaving the input open will cause the
Comm. port to function as per setting 0.

When F068 = 1, 2 or 3, the Jog function will
cease to operate. Since Jogging is a local
function, set F068 to 0 when using it.

Use this to program how the TE Series starter is to be

When F068 = 0, the starter can be monitored by the Comm
port, but not controlled.
When F068 = 1, the starter will be controlled by the comm port.
In addition, the Start / Stop inputs are altered as follows: The
hard-wired Start command is put in “AND” logic with the Comm
port; both Start commands must be on for the TE to start. The
Stop function is put in “OR” logic; either the Comm. port Stop
command OR the hard-wired Stop will cause the TE to stop.
When F068 = 2, the TE starter is in full control of the Comm.
port only. Local Start / Stop inputs become completely inactive.
Use this function only when controlled shutdown is a priority.

When F068 = 3, the TE starter will change the function of the
Jog / Remote Input to cause a switch between the functions of

setting 0 and setting 1 as listed above. When the input is open,
the starter will respond to the Comm port as per setting 0
above. When the Jog / Remote Input is closed, the starter will
respond as per setting 1 above. Use this function if it is
necessary to have a return to local start/stop control should the
communications system fail or become disconnected.

5.6.12 System Settings

The following functions set operator interface controls and unit
programming. Also contained here are the Clock settings used for
history functions. Change the Clock settings if accurate time values are
important.

F070 = Parameter Lock / User Password

Factory Setting = 0 (disabled)
Range = 0 – 999

Use only when necessary to prevent unauthorized access.
Provides users with the ability to prevent unauthorized
operators from making changes to the programmed functions. If
you do NOT need to take advantage of this feature, do not enter
anything into this function. The factory default is disabled, and
no Password is necessary to make changes to the program.

See Appendix 3 at the end of this manual for detailed instructions

on using and altering the Parameter Lock / User Password
feature.

F071 = Emergency Clear / Reset

Factory Setting = 0 (disabled)
Range = 0 – 2

This Function serves two purposes. It can clear the memory
values used for lockouts and overload protection, and it can
reset all functions to the factory default settings. This is a “One­Shot” feature, so when another value is entered as shown
below, this function automatically returns to the default state.

 When F071 = 0, the feature is disabled.
 When F071 = 1, the values stored in the Thermal Register and all of

the Lockout Timers will be cleared. This will allow an emergency
restart without having to wait for proper cool down time or lockout

timers to expire.

WARNING

Clearing the Thermal Register to allow restarting without proper cool-do wn time after an
Overload Trip will risk motor damage and fire. Use only where emergency restart is
necessary with knowledge of these potential hazards.

 When F071 = 2, the values of all functions will be reset to the

factory default settings. Use this feature when settings conflict or
have been tampered with. This is also useful when you lose track of
experimental settings and wish to start over. It will also be used to
clear the Fault History.

6.2 Start-up Check List

 Supply voltage matches the rated supply voltage of the unit.
 Horsepower and current ratings of the motor and unit match or the

unit is higher rating.

 Initial ramp time and torque adjustments have been checked.
 Power lines are attached to the unit input terminals L1, L2 and L3.
 Motor leads are connected to the lower terminals T1, T2, and T3.
 Appropriate control power is applied and/or control connections

have been made.

 “Power On” light located on the front of the unit turns on when

control power is applied.

 Four 7-segment LED readouts are visible.
 The motor’s FLA has been programmed in function F001.
 The thermal overload is properly set. (Use F003 and F004 to set OL

Class.)

 The motor area and equipment are clear of people and parts before

start-up.

6.3 Sequence of Operation

 Apply three-phase power to the unit. The motor should not run until

the start command is applied.

 Apply control power and check that the “Power On” LED comes on.
 Status Display should read [0000.] showing no current in Phase A

(minor flickering of the first digit is common).

 Apply the Run (Start) command. The motor should begin to

accelerate. Status display will read Phase A Amps at an increasing
rate.

 When the motor reaches full speed, the “At Speed” LED comes on.

Status display should show a sharp decrease in Phase-A amps.

 If a Bypass Contactor is present (TE…-BP model), the Bypass

Contactor should pull in.

 If the motor does not fully accelerate, decelerates, or stops during

the acceleration period, hit the Stop button immediately and open
the disconnect line.

If Pump-Flex Decel is programmed in F025:

 Remove the Run Command (or hit the Stop button). At-Speed LED

will go out.

 If a Bypass Contactor is present (TE…-BP model), the Bypass

Contactor should drop out.

 Status display should read Phase-A amps increasing as motor

begins to decelerate.

 Motor should begin to slow down. Status display should begin to

show decreasing motor amps.

 When motor reaches Stop Level, starter should turn off. Status

display will again show [0000.]

If the unit does not follow this operational sequence please refer to the
Service and Troubleshooting Guide

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

6.4 Testing with a smaller motor

 To test the TE Series starter with a motor which will draw less than

20% of the unit Max Amp rating, you must disable the Phase
Current Loss (Running) protection as per instructions in section

5.6.9.a. If this feature is not disabled, the TE Series will give a
Phase Loss Trip after running for 3 seconds at low currents.

Chapter 7 - Fault Conditions

Additional information on Fault Codes and possible causes can be
found in the Service and Troubleshooting Guide.

7.1 Fault Codes and Numbers (in History)
A three-character fault code is displayed in the LED display at the time
of the trip event. The first two digits indicate the trip condition (see Table

7.1). The third digit is a suffix showing the TE Series operating mode
when the trip occurred. Operating modes are as follows:

Code suffix “A”: Acceleration, meaning that the TE Series was
ramping up but had not yet achieved “At-Speed” status (see section

4.2.9.b for a brief description of At-Speed indication).

Code suffix “c”: Constant Speed (running), meaning that the TE
Series has reached the At-Speed condition and the motor was running

when the trip occurred.

Code suffix “d”: Decel or Stop, meaning that TE Series was either
stopped (off, but power applied), or if the Pump-Flex Decel function was
enabled, it was engaged in the Soft Stop routine set up by F024-27.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Fault code SSd may display if there is no output load connection
when control power is applied!

In addition to these fault display codes, each trip condition has a
corresponding numeric code that is stored in the Fault History (see
section 5.6.13.a). These numeric codes follow the display codes
exactly. The following Table 7.1 shows Fault Display Codes, Fault
Number Codes, LED indicators that would come on with them and
descriptions. Additional details are available in the Service and
Troubleshooting Guide.

Example: If Function F003 (starting overload protection) is set too low
for the size of the load and causes a trip, the code “oLA” will be
displayed. Its corresponding number will be entered into the fault
history. In this case, the number 0010 will be available for display in the
window of function F085 (Fault History). The time the fault was detected
is available in Function F086. It is expressed as hh.mm. Therefore, if the
“oLA” fault occurred at 10:00 am, F086 would display 10.00. The date
the fault occurred is available in Function F087. The date is expressed
as mm.dd. If the “oLA” fault occurred on March 1, F077 would display

03.01. If there were no fault conditions in history, the display in F085
would read 0000.

Appendix 1 - Ramp Profile Details

The TE Series offers four different types of starting ramp profiles.
Simply select the one that best matches your motor / load requirements.
In addition, two separate ramps are available that can be selected via
contact closure (see section 4.2.5.a), and each one can be set up for
any ramp type as shown in the table below.

Following are descriptions of the four types of Ramp Profiles

1. Voltage Ramping is the most reliable starting method, since at some

Init ial Torqu e

Full Speed

point the starter will reach an output voltage high enough to allow the
motor to draw full current and develop full torque. This method is useful
for applications where the load conditions change frequently and
significantly enough to require different levels of starting torque.
Examples where this is effective are:

 Material handling conveyers

Ra mp T ime

Voltage

Time

Figure APP 1.1:

Voltage Ramp w/o Current Limit

 Positive displacement pumps
 Drum mixers, grinders etc.

Voltage is increased from a starting point (Initial Torque) to full voltage
over an adjustable time period (Ramp Time). To achieve Voltage
Ramping, set the Ramp Profile (F010) to 0001 or 0003 (Voltage Ramp),
and the Maximum Current Limit setting (F014) to maximum (600%).
Since this is essentially Locked Rotor Current on most motors, there will
be little or no Current Limit effect on the Ramp profile. Initial Torque
setting comes from the Initial Voltage function F011.

2. Voltage Ramping with Current Limit works similarly to the above,

Init ia l T o rque

Full Speed

except adds an adjustable maximum current output. Voltage is
increased gradually until the Maximum Current Limit setting (F014) is
reached, then held at this level until the motor accelerates to full speed.
Then as the current drops below the limit setting, voltage is
automatically increased to maximize torque until the TE Series is At-

Speed. This may be necessary in applications where the electrical
power is limited. Examples would be:

 Portable or emergency generator supplies
 Utility power near the end of a transmission line or other starting

power demand restrictions.

Using Current Limit will override the Ramp Time setting if necessary, so
use this feature when acceleration time is not critical. The Ramp Time
setting however still determines the slope of the ramp up to the Current
Limit setting to apply the softest possible acceleration. To achieve
Voltage Ramping with Current Limit, set the Ramp Profile (F010) to
0001 or 0003 (Voltage Ramp), and the Maximum Current Limit setting
(F014) to a desired lower setting, as determined by your application
requirements.

66

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

3. Closed Loop Current (Torque) Ramping is good for smooth linear
acceleration of output torque. Ramp Time becomes the time from Initial
Torque and Current Limit settings. Output torque is constantly updated
using an internal PID feedback loop to provide a linear ramp, and
therefore the available torque is maximized at any given speed. The
best use of this feature is for applications where rapid changes in torque
may result in load damage or equipment changes. Examples would be:

 Long overland conveyors where belt stretching may occur.
 Low pressure pumps where slight surges at the end-of-ramp may

pose mechanical problems.

 Fans and mixers where blade warping is a problem.
 Material handling systems where stacked products may fall over or

break.

This feature can be used with or without the Maximum Current Limit
setting.

To achieve Torque Ramping with the TE Series, set the Ramp Profile
(F010) to 0002 or 0004 (Current Ramp), and the Maximum Current Limit
setting (F014) to the desired level. Initial Torque setting comes from the
Initial Current function F012.

4. Current Limit Only (Current Step) starting means using the Current
Limit feature exclusively without the benefit of soft starting by ramping
the voltage or current first (also known as Pedestal Starting). This will
maximize the effective application of motor torque within the limits of the
motor. In this mode, Initial Torque is set to maximum and Ramp Time is
set to minimum, so the output current jumps to the Current Limit setting
immediately. Examples of when to use this mode are:

 Applications with a severely limited power supply
 When starting a difficult load such as a centrifuge or deep well

pump

 When the motor capacity is barely adequate without stalling or

overloading.
 It is a good choice when other starting modes fail.
Since ramp times are set to minimum, this mode functions in either

Voltage Ramp or Current Ramp setting.

Ramp Parameter Descriptions

Following are detailed descriptions of the individual settings that make
up each ramp profile.

Initial Torque (Initial Voltage or Initial Current).
These functions set the initial start point of either the Voltage Ramp or
Current Ramp as programmed in F010. Every load requires at least
some amount of torque to start from a standstill. It is not efficient to
begin ramping the motor from zero every time, since between zero and
the (WK

2) breakaway torque level, no useful work is being performed.

The initial torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to
make the motor shaft begin to rotate, enabling the softest possible start
and preventing torque shock damage to the mechanical components.
Setting this function too high will not damage the starter, but may
reduce or eliminate the soft start advantages.

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

Accel Ramp Time. This Function sets the maximum allowable time for
ramping from the Initial Torque setting to either of the following:

1) Current limit setting when the motor is still accelerating, or

2) Full output voltage if the Current Limit is set to maximum.
Increasing the Ramp Time softens the start process by lowering the

slope of increase in voltage or current. This should be set to provide the
softest possible start without stalling unless you have determined that
your application has other considerations. Applications where this
setting should be shorter include Centrifugal Pumps, because pump
problems may occur as a result of insufficient torque during acceleration
through the pump curve.

 NOTE:

Ramp Time is affected by the following conditions:

1. Current Limit will automatically override the Ramp Time if set to
Voltage Ramp (F010=1) and if the motor does not reach full
speed while in current limit mode.

2. An “Anti-Oscillation” circuit built-in to the TE Series will shorten
the Ramp Time if the motor reaches full speed before end of
ramp.

Current Limit. This Function sets the maximum motor current that the
starter allows during Ramping. It is active in both the Voltage Ramp and
Current Ramp modes. As the motor begins to ramp, this feature will set
a ceiling at which the current draw will be held. Current Limit will remain
in effect until one of the following two events occur:

1. The motor reaches full speed as detected by the At-Speed
detection circuit.

2. The Overload Protection trips on Motor Thermal Overload (see
Ch.3).

Once the motor has reached full speed, the Current Limit feature
becomes inactive.

 In the Voltage Ramp Profile, the Voltage output is increased until

the Current Limit is reached. The Ramp Time is the maximum time
it will take for the voltage to increase until the Current Limit setting
takes over. Under some load conditions, Current Limit may be
reached before the Ramp Time has expired.

 In the Current Ramp Profile, output voltage varies to provide a

linear increase in current up to the Current Limit setting, and Ramp
Time is the time that it will take to get there. A closed loop feedback
of motor current allows continuous updating of the output to
maintain this ramp profile.

Because most AC induction motors will not start below 200% current,
the current limit set point is adjustable down to only 200%.

CAUTION

While in the Start mode there is no maximum Current Limit time.
Excessive start time may lead to motor stalling, causing an

to accommodate your load conditions. If the Current Limit setting
cannot be increased, try using Current Limit without ramping
features (“Current Limit Only” as described previously).

Decel Mode Application Considerations

Pump-Flex

®

Deceleration (Soft Stop) is a unique feature of Toshiba

Solid State Soft Starters. It provides a slow decrease in the output
voltage, accomplishing a gentle decrease in motor torque during the
stopping mode. This is the OPPOSITE OF BRAKING in that it will take
longer to come to a stop than if the starter were just turned off.

The primary use of this function is with centrifugal pumps as a means to
reduce the sudden changes in pressure that are associated with “Water
Hammer” and slamming of check valves. Decel control in pump
applications is often referred to as Pump Control.

In a pump system, liquid is being pushed uphill. The force exerted by
gravity on the column of liquid as it goes up hill is called the “Head
Pressure” in the system. The pump is sized to provide enough Output
Pressure to overcome the Head Pressure and move the fluid up the
pipe. When the pump is turned off, the Output Pressure rapidly drops to
zero and the Head Pressure takes over to send the fluid back down the
hill. A “Check Valve” is used somewhere in the system to prevent this (if
necessary) by only allowing the liquid to flow in one direction.

Kinetic energy in that moving fluid is suddenly trapped when the valve
slams closed. Since fluids can’t compress, that energy is transformed
into a “Shock Wave” that travels through the piping system looking for
an outlet in which to dissipate. The sound of that shock wave is referred
to as “Water Hammer”. The energy in that shock wave can be extremely
damaging to pipes, fittings, flanges, seals and mounting systems.

SOLUTION:

By using the Pump-Flex

®

Decel feature of the TE Series, the pump
output torque is gradually and gently reduced, which slowly reduces the
pressure in the pipe. When the Pump Output Pressure is just slightly
lower than the System Head Pressure, the flow slowly reverses and
closes the Check Valve. By this time there is very little energy left in the
moving fluid and the Shock Wave is avoided. When the output voltage
to the motor is low enough to no longer be needed, the TE Series will
end the Pump-Flex

®

Decel cycle and turn itself off.

CAUTION

Decel is THE OPPOSITE of braking. Enabling the Decel
feature will make the motor take LONGER to stop than if it
were simply turned off.

69

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

Setup and Use
Pump systems vary greatly. To accommodate this, the Pump-Flex
Decel control feature is designed to provide complete flexibility in how
the deceleration process takes place by using the following settings.

Decel begins when a Stop command is given (or the Run command is
removed). If there is a Bypass Contactor, it will open immediately,
putting the power control back to the SCRs.

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)

When F024 = 0, the deceleration feature is disabled.
When F024 = 1, the deceleration feature is enabled AND the overload

protection feature (from F003 - F005) remains active. When a
Stop command is given, the starter begins to apply Decel
voltage. However, if an overload trip occurs, the starter ceases
applying Decel voltage and the motor coasts to a stop to
prevent additional motor heating and potential motor damage.

When F024 = 2, the deceleration feature is enabled and deceleration

will continue even when an overload condition trips. This is
to be used only when the risk of damage due to an uncontrolled
shutdown is considered worse than the potential damage to the
motor.

WARNING

Setting F025 = 2 presents significant risk of over-heating
the motor beyond its design limits which could result in
motor damage and fire hazard. Do this only in
circumstances where the potential for mechanical damage

outweighs the risk of motor damage.

 NOTE:

The PTC Input will act as an Overload trip (disable), however it

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

ALWAYS shuts the starter down WITHOUT Decel (as in setting 1
above) even if F025 is set to 2.

F025 = Begin Decel Level (BDL)

Factory Setting = 60%
Range = 0 - 100% of line voltage

Use to drop voltage to a level where there is a noticeable effect
on motor torque during Decel mode. Generally, systems with
high head pressure need to start Decel near the top of the ramp
(85-95%). Low head systems can drop to lower settings (50­60%). System conditions vary greatly by pump type, pipe size
and system head. Some experimentation with settings may be
necessary.

F026 = Decel Shut Off Voltage

Factory Setting = 30%
Range = 0 to (BDL -1)%

Sets the level where the starter is turned off, corresponding to
where motor torque during Decel is no longer effective. Always
set this function lower than the setting of F026, Begin Decel
Level (this function is restricted from being less than F026
minus 1%). This function is used to shut the motor off once the
check valve closes. Again, because systems vary greatly this
setting may require adjustment several times. If you cannot
hear or see the check valve close, observe fluid pressure or
flow if available.

F027 = Decel Ramp Time

Factory Setting = 10 seconds
Range = 1 - 60 seconds

Sets the maximum time for the deceleration ramp to go from the
Begin Decel Level setting (F026) to the Decel Shut Off Voltage
(F027). This function is used to dampen the effect of reducing
pump torque as much as possible. If the check valve still slams
at the end of ramp, try extending this time function a little. Since
motor heating increases as voltage is lowered, the setting
should not exceed the time necessary to achieve the
deceleration effect.

 NOTE:

When using the Decel function, count these cycles as additional
“starts” when determining maximum starts-per-hour.

Other Applications:
Another common application for Decel control is on material handling
conveyors as a means to prevent sudden stops that may cause
products to shift, fall over or to bump into one another.

In overhead crane applications, Soft Stopping of the Bridge or Trolley
can prevent loads from beginning to over swing on sudden stops.

Appendix 3: Parameter Lock / User Password Instructions

Provides users with the ability to prevent unauthorized operators from
making changes to the programmed functions. If you do not need to

take advantage of this feature, do not enter anything into this
function. The factory default is disabled, and no Password is necessary

to make changes to the program.

When any value other than 0000 is entered into this Function, the
Parameter Lock is enabled and that number becomes the User
Password. From that point forward, it will be necessary to enter the User
Password in this Function prior to making changes in any programmed
function, including this one
enabled, attempts to alter the program will result in the display reading
[Err ] whenever the [READ/ENTER] key is pressed.

To alter the program after the Parameter Lock has been enabled, go to
Function F070 and enter the correct user Password. The display will
read an encoded value representing the existing password. As soon as
you press the first Arrow key, the display will change to [0000] and start
showing the actual value of your password entry. When the [READ/
ENTER] button is pressed, the display will read [PASS], indicating that
the User Password is correct and the system is unlocked. You will have
5 minutes in which to make a change in the program. This 5-minute
window resets whenever any key is pressed, so it floats to give you 5
minutes after the last entry. After 5 minutes of no keypad activity, the
Parameter Lock is reinstated with the current user Password.
Subsequent changes will require re-entering the User Password.

To change the User Password or to disable the Parameter Lock
function, enter the programmed User Password first, and then set
Function F070 to 0, disabling the Parameter Lock. If you do not re-enter
the Password or enter a new user password, the Parameter Lock
feature will remain disabled. If you enter a different number into this
Function, the new number becomes your new User Password. Existing
passwords are encoded to “hide” them in the display.

CAUTION

DO NOT LOSE YOUR PASSWORD.
If the password has been lost or forgotten, contact Toshiba for assistance.

and begin showing the actual value of your password entry.
Any initial display other than [3552] signifies that a password
already exists. This means that you will need to change, rather
than enter a new one (see below).

Changing passwords:

To change an existing password, the steps are essentially the same as
outlined above, except you must first enter the existing password. At
F070, press the [READ/ENTER] key to reveal the encoded password
(you must know that password before it can be changed). Use the
Arrow keys to enter the password. As soon as you press the first Arrow
key, the display will change to [0000] and start showing the actual value
of your entry. When you get to the existing password, press the
[READ/ENTER] key again. The display will flash [PASS] to indicate that
the password was accepted. If it flashes [ Err ], you have entered the
wrong password.

Resetting to Factory Defaults using F071 will NOT reset the password.

Disabling Password Protection / Parameter Lockout

Changing function F070 to [0000] will disable the user password. If the
initial display reads [3552], the password is already set to [0000].

Appendix 4: Process Control Timer Functions

F030 through F039; Overview of Process Timer Control and Time Clock Controller Features:

The following special functions allow your TE Series starter to operate automatically from an internal Process
Control Timer and Time Clock Controller (TCC) using a real time clock. The Process Control Timer (F030 and
F031) can be used independently or together with the TCC feature (F032-39). The TCC requires u sing the
Process Control Timer to provide for Start commands (depending on the selecte d mode). Time progression and
clock values can be read in the Status Screen (see section 5.3.1).
A convenient chart at the end of this appendix shows all settings and interactions

F030 = Process Control Timer Selection

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0, 1, 2

This function enables a Process Control Timer, which offers
two operating modes (Minimum Batch Run Timer and
Permissive Run Timer), selected by entering 1 or 2 here.

F030 = 1: Minimum Batch Run Timer
In this mode, the Process Control Timer engages that the
motor will run for a minimum amount of time, regardless of
whether someone stops it intentionally, or power fails and
returns. When selected to Minimum Run Timer, it begins
counting down after a Start command. The Time Value is set in
F031. When the time value reaches [0000] the starter will turn
off, even if the Start command is still closed and without a Stop
command.

To Reset the timer in this mode, give a Stop command after the
timer has expired. If using the TCC (F032), reset is automatic
when completed and no other Run command is present.

If a Stop Command, power failure or Fault trip occurs during
timed operation, the Process Control Timer is suspended and
maintains its value. When the starter is then restarted, the timer
resumes counting down to ensure that the motor has run for the
programmed amount of time (finishes the batch).

.

Use this function to ensure that a load operates for a minimum amount

of time regardless of other circumstances. Examples would be:

 Irrigation pumps where a specific amount of pumping time is

required even if the pump is shut down on a low level alarm and
then resets, or power fails and returns.

 Mixers that need to agitate for a specific amount of time yet

may be shut down when power fails or as product is added.

 Aeration Blowers that must be run for minimum amounts of

time to ensure that proper aeration (contact time) has been
provided to a tank.

 NOTE:

In 2-wire control systems where the Run command is maintained, the
starter will automatically restart after a power failure or a Trip is reset.
Use appropriate warnings as mentioned in section 3.1.3.b (see the
following F032 description for an exception to this).
In 3-wire control systems, a new Start command will be required to
restart the starter.

74

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

Example: Figure App 4.1

Minimum Run (Batch) Timer

An irrigation pump needs to come on when called for by a soil
moisture control system, and run for ½ hour. If during that ½
hour the well level drops and shuts the pump down, the pump
needs to restart when the well recovers and finish the ½ hour
pump time.

Set F030 to [0001] for Minimum Run Timer.
This will ensure that when the well level recovers and resets
the run command, the starter will finish the time sequence.

Set F031 to [0030] (minutes)

This is the Run Time that ensures the proper amount of
irrigation getting to the crop.

(Not Shown)

Ensure F032 is set to [0000] for One Shot

This will allow the Start command provided by the external
control system to engage the starter at any time it is required.

(Another example of this function used with the Time Clock
Controller is provided further on)

 NOTE on interaction with other functions:

When used with F028 (Auto-Restart Delay), the Minimum Batch
Timer will not resume counting down until F028 has expired and the
starter has restarted. When used with 3 wire control, it may be
necessary to maintain a Start Command until after F028 has
expired, or repeat it if momentary.

When used with F049 – F050 (Lockout Protection features), the
Minimum Batch Timer will not resume counting down until those
settings have been satisfied and the TE Series starter has
restarted. When used with 3-wire control, it may be necessary to
maintain a Start Command until after they are satisfied, or repeat it
if momentary.

When used with the Pump Flex Decel feature, the Decel Time
(F027) is counted as part of the Batch Run time for this feature.

F030 = 2: Permissive Run Timer.

In this mode, the Process Control Timer engages differently
according to the settings of the Time Clock Controller (TCC).

When the TCC is set to 0
Process Control Timer begins counting down after the first Start
command. Subsequent stop and start commands have no
further affect on the timer status and can be used to fully control
the starter. When the timer finishes (F031 = [0000]), the starter
will shut off. Upon the next Start command, the timer will reset
and begin counting down again. In 2 wire control systems, the
starter will shut off even if the Run command is still closed, and
will only reset after the Run command has been cycled (opened
and reclosed).

Use this function in without the Time Clock Controller (One-Shot mode)

to ensure that a load only operates for a maximum of the
programmed amount of time, beginning with the first Start
command. Examples would be:

 Pumps where the failure of a stop float may lead to dry run

conditions if allowed to operate too long, or when the pump only
needs to run when someone is present, but operate
automatically via float switched (pump-out for service).

 Ventilation Blowers where operation is controlled by a manual

switch but may be inadvertently left on when someone leaves.

When the TCC is set for 1 through 8
the timer begins counting down immediately when a Start
Event is activated. Any Start / Stop Command that is given to
the starter during this time will work normally. When the timer
finishes (F031 = [0000]), the starter will shut off, and Start /

Stop commands will no longer function until the next Start
Event Cycle (SEC). In 2 wire control systems, If a Run

command is already present when the SEC occurs, it will make
no difference and the starter will start.

Reset of the Permissive Run Timer will occur only when the
next Start Event Cycle is activated by the Time Clock Controller,
or when changes are made to programming (see NOTE on
programming changes (see “Important NOTE” on page 80).
Loss of control power without program changes will NOT reset
the time.

Use this function in conjunction with the Time Clock Controller to ensure

that a load only operates during the programmed amount of
time, beginning with the Start Event Cycle. Examples would be:

 Air compressors where leaking of air lines during normal

downtime causes the compressor to run unnecessarily

 Irrigation pumps where operation during parts of the day is

undesirable.

 Energy Savings to prevent operation when Time-of-Use (TOU)

metering discounts are provided to promote conservation.

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

Example: Figure App 4.2

Permissive Run Timer

An air compressor controlled by a pressure switch feeds a large
air distribution system that has small normally insignificant leaks.
If left on over night when the system is not in use, leaks drop the
air pressure and the compressor cycles on and off even though
the facility is unoccupied, wasting energy.

Set F030 to [0002] for Permissive Run Timer.

This will ensure that if nobody remembers to shut the compressor
off, it will not run when the facility is shut down.

Set F031 to [0600] minutes (10 hours)

This is the longest Run Time after which the starter will
automatically shut down. This ensures that it will not restart after
the time expires and until a new Start Event occurs.

(Not Shown)

Ensure F032 is set to [0001] for Every Day, and F033 is set to

correspond to work start time (or 5 minutes prior)

This will allow the Run command provided by the pressure switch
to engage the starter any time it is required after the shift begins.

With this setting, the compressor will start whenever the pressure
switch calls for it after the Start Event set by the Time Clock
Controller, but if forgotten it will shut itself off after 10 hours. If
power is turned off or lost during those 10 hours, the timer is not
cleared or reset, so even if it is turn back on 1 minute before the
timer expires, it still shuts off at the end of that 10 hour period.

NOTE:

If the Process Control Timer (F030) is set for Minimum Batch Timer (value of 1), and the next
Start Event Cycle passes without a Start command, the previous event will be ignored in favor of
the new one.

Process Control Timer setting from F031 is so long that it overlaps a Start Event Cycle

If a

setting in F032-F039, the original timer value becomes invalid. The new Start Event Cycle reloads
the value of F031 and begins counting down again from the beginning.

F031 = Process Timer Value

Factory Setting = 1
Range = 1 – 9999 minutes

This function loads a value into the Process Control Timer
above. When initialized, the value counts down towards 0.
F030 sets the operating mode and reset functions for this timer:

The value of this timer can be read directly in the main Status
Screen (see section 5.3.1). When the Process Control Timer
has been enabled in F030, the Status Screen display for the
value will flash once per second while timing. When completed,
it will stop flashing and read [0000].

F032 = Time Clock Controller (TCC)

Factory Setting = 0 (One Shot)
Range = 1 - 8 settings

This function is used to select the operating mode of the 24hr /
7 Day Time Clock Controller (TCC).

F032 = 0 operates the SEC in a “One-Shot” mode (factory
default setting). When set to 0, the Process Timer (F030)
responds only to each NEW hard-wired START input command.

Use this setting to allow the Process Control Timer to
operate without the TCC.

For safety purposes when using 2 wire control systems in this
mode only, if power fails and the START/RUN command is
present when power is restored, the starter will ignore this
command until the input is cycled Off and back On (terminals
TB1-1 and 3 are opened and reclosed).

For automatic operations, F032 can also set the number of
days in which the TCC will repeat a Start Event Cycle (SEC).
Each Start Event Cycle consists of from 1 to 7 Start Events as
programmed in F033 through F039 below. Start Events can be
non-sequential (see NOTE below).

F032 = 1 operates the SEC every day of the week.
F032 = 2 operates the SEC every 2 days (every other day)
F032 = 3 operates the SEC every 3

F032 = 7 operates the SEC 1 day per week.
F032 = 8 operates the SEC for a single 24HR event, non-

repeating. Use this for testing or for “walk away” operations that
need to run after you leave but not again.

Start Event Cycles allow the use of a Start Command (2-wire or
3-wire) ONLY AFTER the time of the Start Event has passed
(logic state AND). In a 3-wire control system, this is similar to
having an Enable switch in series with the Stop button. In a 2­wire control system, this is similar to having and Enable
contacts in series with the Run contact. The Stop Button (or
opening the Run contact) will always work to shut down the TE
Series starter. If F032 is set to anything other than 0, the
normal Start – Stop functions will no longer work except as
shown above.

Each Start Event is a timed operation based on the Process
Timer settings in F030 above.

CAUTION

If F030 = 0 (Disabled), the TCC will be ignored. So if F032 = 1-8 and F030 = 0, the
starter will not operate!
Make sure that if F030 = 0, F032 = 0 as well.

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

F033 = Event #1 Start Time

Factory Setting = OFF
Range = 00:00 through 23:59, or OFF

This function is used to select the start time for Event #1 in the
TCC above. Once given a Start command after this event time,
the starter will run the motor according to the selections entered
into F030 and for the time entered into F031.

F034 = Event #2 Start Time Same as above, except for event #2
F035 = Event #3 Start Time Same as above, except for event #3
F036 = Event #4 Start Time Same as above, except for event #4

 NOTE:

Start Events are completely independent of one another, and can
be programmed in any order. For instance, the Start Time in F037
can be earlier than the Start Time in F033. This allows easier
alterations or additions of new Start Times after a unit is already
installed.

TE Series Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A

Example: Figure App 4.3

Time Clock Controller with Minimum Run Timer

An irrigation pump fed from a well with a single float level control
needs to come on every other day at 5:30 PM, and run for ½ hour.
If during that ½ hour the well level drops and shuts the pump
down, the pump needs to restart when the well recovers and finish
the ½ hour pump time.

Set F030 to [0001] for Minimum Run Timer.

This will ensure that when the well level recovers and resets the
run command, the starter will finish the time sequence.

Set F031 to [0030] (minutes)

This is the Batch Time that ensures the proper amount of irrigation
getting to the crop.

Set F032 to [0002] for Every 2

nd

Day

This will begin the Start Even Cycle on the day of programming
and every other day from then on.

Set F033 to [17.30]

This is the 24HR time value representing 5:30 PM. At this time,
every other day, the TE Series starter will automatically start
(provided the Stop float in the well is closed) and run for 30
minutes as programmed in F030.

If the pump needs to come on again at 7:00 PM, program F034 to
[19.00]. If later on it is needed to come on at 6:00 AM as well,
simply change any other unused start time, i.e. F038 to [06.00].
Even though this is Event #6 and the lower numbered events had
later start times in the program, the starter will execute #6 on time
in the next available cycle.

If the pump needs to come on every day, program F032 to [0001].

 NOTE:

If programming is entered AFTER the set time value, the TCC will
wait until the next valid time before executing (i.e. if you entered the
above example program changes at 5:35 PM, the pump would not
come on automatically until 5:30 PM 2 days from now).

Appendix 5 – External Overload Relay Applications

Your TE Series starter comes equipped with a very intelligent internal
electronic overload protection system, and does not need an external
Over Load Relay (OLR). There are instances however where external
OLRs are needed or desired because of the application. These fall into
three categories; Higher Level Protection systems, Redundant Backup
applications and Special Motor applications.

 NOTE:

If the Decel Function is activated (F024), additional consideration
must be put into determining how the starter is to operate in the
event of an Over Load Trip. See Section 5.6.5 for issues regarding
this application.

HIGHER LEVEL PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Because of a desire for uniformity and/or operator familiarity in some
facilities, Motor Protection Relays or other coordinated OEM protection
systems may be used in lieu of the TE Series protection (even though
most of the features are the same or better). In these instances the TE
Series Over Load protection can simply be turned off, deferring
protection to the external devices. Care should be taken however to
ensure that the external device is properly wired into the starter control
circuit to facilitate shutdown of the motor. The TE Series provides a
PTC input that can be wired to the NC aux contact of the external
device so that a trip will still shut down the TE Series and be
annunciated on the display. See section 4.7.2.a for more details on
using the PTC input.

REDUNDANT BYPASS STARTER APPLICATIONS:

In some applications, it may be necessary to provide an independent
means of starting and protecting the motor should be TE Series starter
become inoperable. If this were the case, the Bypass Contactor could
be used for Across-the-Line (D.O.L) starting of the motor. The TE…BP
version with Integral Bypass Contactors is designed for that possibility,
as long as the starter is properly selected when ordered.
select the starter based upon the ATL (Across-the-Line) selection chart
so that the contactor is rated for ATL duty instead of the normal Shunt
Duty (see section 1.2.3 for Selection charts).

Under normal operations, the Bypass Contactor is controlled internally
by the TE Series PC board and an internal pilot relay. For redundant
backup purposes however, terminals B1 and B2 of TB4 are provided for
field connection of a dry contact closure in parallel to the pilot relay
contact, allowing control even if the electronics are out of service
control power must still be applied to TB2 terminals A1 and A2, but no
other electronics or power supplies need to be functioning. It is in this
instance that an external OLR must be added to the motor power circuit
and wired into that coil control circuit. TB4 is located in different areas of
each frame size in the TE Series. Refer to the following diagram for the
location on your unit.

To do so,

Internal Wiring

In this example:

The Start / Run command (2-wire or 3-wire) energizes a control Relay
“CR”. If the selector Switch is in the “SS” (Soft Start) position, the
contact of CR closes the 24VDC control signal to TB1, terminals 1 and 3
of the TE Series, which begins ramping. When At-Speed status is
reached, an internal Bypass Pilot Relay is used to close the Bypass
Contactor. While in this mode, the TE Series CPU provides full motor
protection, even when the Bypass Contactor closes.

When the Selector Switch is placed in the “A-T-L” (Across-the-Line)
position, a 2

nd

isolated contact of CR is used to close the circuit between
B1 and B2 of TB4 which are internally connected in parallel to the
Bypass Pilot Relay contact in the Bypass Contactor coil circuit. Since
the TE Series electronics may be out of service, an External Overload
is added which only works in this mode and protects the motor by
dropping out the connection between B1 and B2.

CAUTION

The circuit on TB-4 is at the same potential as the AC control voltage, but should not be
directly connected to it. PC board damage may result.

Appendix 5 (cont.) External OL Relay Applications

SPECIAL MOTOR APPLICATIONS

Multiple Motors
When more than one motor is connected downstream from the TE
Series starter, the internal electronic overload protection cannot provide
proper protection of the individual motors. Codes require the use of
separate OLRs for each motor, which would need to be external
devices.

In these instances the TE Series Over Load protection should be turned
off, deferring protection to the separate OLRs. Care should be taken to
ensure that the External OLR is properly wired into the starter control
circuit to facilitate shutdown of the motor. The TE Series provides a
PTC input that can be wired to the NC auxiliary contact of the external
OLR so that a trip will still shut down the TE Series and be annunciated
on the display. Multiple OLRs would then be wired in series for the
same effect. See section 4.7.2.a for details on using the PTC input.

In this example:

The TE Series is used ahead of an existing 2S2W starter, which
already has separate OLRs for each speed. Dry Aux. contacts of the
2S2W starter are used to provide a Run command to the TE Series so
that all existing controls can be used. In addition, another dry Aux. of the
Fast contactor is used to select Ramp 2. When started in Slow, Ramp 1
(default) is used. If started in Fast, different ramp settings are necessary
so Ramp 2 is used. (See section 4.2.5.a for Dual Ramp info.)

Either OLR will trip the TE Series, which will display [ Ptc] and light
