

Your new TE Series Soft Starter is factory preset for a wide variety of applications and often can be used
with minimal adjustment.



Try these initial factory presets first and then adjust or enable the more advanced features to meet
your specific starting needs.



Three Step Process:

1. Connect L1, L2, L3 to power lines and T1, T2, T3 to motor (see page 11)

2. Connect control wires and control po wer ( see pages 13-17)

3. Program motor FLA (see page 20).

 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 marked L1, L2 and L3 (R, S and

T).

 Motor leads are connected to the lower terminals marked T1, T2 , and T3 (U, V and

Chapter 1 - Introduction



General Description

The TE Series is a digitally programmable solid state reduced voltage soft starter using a six SCR design. It
features a voltage/current ramp for smooth load acceleration. The SCRs are sized to withstand starting
currents of 500% for 60 seconds for applications typical to NEMA / UL Class 30 overload trip curve. 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 Serie s. The TE Series includes solid state electronic overload protection in addition to
numerous other protective features. It requires 120VAC (220VAC optional) control power and uses dry
contact inputs for
also included.
