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.

Chapter 2 – Installation

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 nameplate Full Load

Current

 (FLC or FLA) rating and Service Factor (if used).
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 exi st:
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)

TE is to have protectio n from rain, moisture and dust.
Enclosed units should not be exposed to direct sun.

 Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing
 Free from metallic particles, conductive d ust and corrosive gas
 Free from excessive vibration (below 0.5G)

Open panel units must be mounted in the approp riate ty pe 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.

NOTE: This does not include heat generated by cables, lugs or bus bars.



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

Mounting, Clearances 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.



SERVICE WARNING!

Do not service equipment with voltage applied! The unit can
source of fatal electrical shocks! To avoid shoc k 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.



Clearances

Make sure there is sufficient clearance all around the unit for cooling, wiring and maintena nce purposes. To
conserve panel space, the TE Series – BP models were designed for close vertical clearances of only 1 inch
(25mm) on either side. A minimum horizontal clearance of 4” (100 mm) on the top and bottom is necessary to
maximize effective airflow and cooling. Also 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.



Cleaning:








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.

Power Connections

Referring to local code standards for wire sizing and length, connect
power conductors to the unit input terminals marked L1, L2, L3 (R, S,
T for IEC users). Connection points are bus tabs with pre-drilled
holes (see section 2 of the Advanced Installation, Operation and
Programming Manual). 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

control power is present, but line power is disconnected from L1, L2

.

and L3, the display will show [n3PH] indicating “no 3 Phase”.

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

Bypass Contactor

Bypass Contactors are integral (built-in) on all TE versions. See
sections 1.2.3, 3.1.3.c and Appendix 4 of the Advanced Installation,
Operation and Programming Manual for more details on contactor
control and overload protection details.

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.

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.

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 for ease of connection and servicing, and are provided with different spacin g
(pitch) between the header pins so they are not interchangeable. Following are description s of control
connection points.

Figure 5

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.

AC Control Power Supply Connection

Separate AC Control Power supply is required to power the
electronics of the TE Series starter. 120VAC is standard; order 240
VAC (optional) if necessary for your line power supply configuration.
The control voltage must be connected to terminals marked A1 and
A2 of TB-2 as shown in figure 5.1 (these are also Terminal No.’s 21
and 22). This control voltage must be customer supplied, unless an
optional control power transformer (see table below) has been
supplied with the unit.

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., 10-250VAC. Any circuit connected to it must be fused accordingly.



Three-Wire Control Connection

For standard 3-wire control, connect dry (voltage free) contacts for the 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 (2

Stop button to Terminal 3 (3

nd

from left) and the NC from the

rd

from left).

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.





Two Wire Control: Relay / PLC Connection

An alternate connection for automated or unattended
operation replaces the start/stop push buttons by connecting
a dry (voltage free) maintained contact closure between
terminals 1 and 3 as shown in Figure 5.3. 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.

When a maintained contact is used for start/stop it is

Note:

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 down.

CAUTION!
Control Terminals 1-10 of TB1 are configured using solid state devices po wered

internally with a 24VDC power supply. To prevent damage to the TE Series control
board, use dry (unpowered) contact closures only when connecting to these terminals.

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

Interlock Connection

TB1 provides a connection point for an external dry (voltage free) N.C. (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
the TE Series unit will not function.

PTC Thermistor Input

The TE Series starter is provided with input terminals for connecting a PTC (Positive Temperature

Coefficient) Thermistor that may be imbedded in the motor. These
are specialized resistors imbedded in some motor windings that
increase in resistance as the temperature increases. Whe n the
TE Series detects that the PTC input resistance is too high, it
initiates a PTC trip, and displays [PTc] on the readout. 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 are Terminals 9 and 10 located on TB1.

PTC resistors are also found in other devices such as bearings,

air receivers, oil or coolant reservoirs and air discharge systems that may require shutd own of the motor.

PTC Resistor Values:

The resistance must be less than or equal to 750  at 25ºC. If multiple resistors are used in the motor, the
sum of all resistors in series must equal or be less than this value.

Fault Signal

An optically isolated Triac output is dedicated as a fault indicator
on TB1, terminals 11 and 12, labeled “Opto”. The output Triac
switch is rated for 10 - 250VAC, 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 permanently fixed at “Any Trip”, duplicating the
Relay setting 16 as shown in Table 5.6.10 of the Advanced
Installation, Operation and Programming Manual.

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

Dual Ramp and Jog Features

TB1 includes provisions for enabling the Dual Ramp and Jog functions by using external contact closures.
Both features use a common +24VDC from terminal 7 however, they can be used independently of each
other or together. See Section 5.6.2.and 5.6.3 of the Advanced Installation, Operation and Programming
Manual for full function description and setup.

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.of the Advanced Installation, Operation and
Programming Manual for full function description of how to setup 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.

Jog / Remote Command

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 of the

Advanced Installation, Operation and Programming
Manual for full function description of how to 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 user manual.

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). Toshiba recommends fusing all
outputs 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.

AUX 3 – Any Trip (see F062) this contact closes when
any trip condition 5 – 15 (as defined in Table 5.6.10 of the
Advanced Installation, Operation and Programming)
occurs.

All relays can be reprogrammed for a wide variety of
functions. See Section 5.6.9 of the Advanced

Installation, Operation and Programming Manual for additional relay programming details.

Note:

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 “Three Wire Control
Connections”).

Bypass Contactor Control

On TE…-BP 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.

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 normal Shunt Duty.
(See Section 1.2.3.of the Advanced Installation, Operation and Programming Manual). Supplemental
overload protection will be required (See Section 3.1.3.of the Advanced Installation, Operation and
Programming).

Units have external terminal blocks marked for this purpose (see Appendix 5 of the Advanced Installation,
Operation and Programming Manual for additional for drawings). 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 voltage on these
terminals is the same as the coil voltage.

Chapter 4 – Programming

Introduction

It is best to operate the motor at its full load starting conditions to achieve the proper time, torque and ramp
settings. Initial factory settings are set to accommodate general motor applications and provide basic motor
protection. Advanced features must be enabled via programming. The only parameter that MUST be set by
the user is motor FLA (F001).

Digital Interface: The TE Series Soft Starter includes a digital keypad with eight LEDs, seven

command keys, and an LED display with four alphanumeric digits.

scrolls through the fault history. When entering values,
holding the key down for more than 2 seconds will
activate Auto-step, which increases its rate the longer the
key is held down.

Each key press shifts the active (flashing) digit to the right
or left by one position, allowing you to change higher
values of functions without waiting to Auto-step though
large numbers.

The motor is at full power and the Bypass Contactor has
been commanded to pull in.

The SCRs are at full conduction and current has dropped.
Power is flowing to the motor in the Off mode. See section

5.6.8.a of the Advanced Installation, Operation and
Programming Manual for additional information.

There is no voltage drop across at least one SCR phase
assembly, indicating that at least one SCR is shorted.
See section 7 of the Advanced Installation, Operation and
Programming Manual for additional information.

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.

Display Modes

There are three modes of display: The Status Display Mode, the Program Mode, and the Fault Mode.
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 shows the value of the current flowing to ground on the motor leads.
[H000] Scroll UP to display the “H”. This indicates the value of the remaining thermal capacity percentage of

the motor (i.e. H070 = 70% remaining thermal capacity).

Program Mode

The starter must be STOPPED 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
section 5.3.1 of the Advanced Installation, Operation
and Programming Manual. The first time you enter the
Program Mode after power has been cycled to the starter,
the initial function [F001] should be displayed 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.

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 pushing the [READ/ENTER] key

• [F001] “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 ra nge and incremental
steps.

[F001] - “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.
Pressi ng the [Fn] key again will return to the Function display without making changes.

Changing a Function’s Set Value

From the instructions above, after pressing 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.

Pressing the [READ/ENTER] key again will store the new programming for that Function and return to the
Function display.

If the display shows [Inh] when trying to store the changes, the unit is running a nd must be Stopped, or a
Password has been set up to prevent access and must be entered first. See section 5.6.11 of the Advanced
Installation, Operation and Programming Manual for details about this feature.

Caution!
If the Fn key is pressed or power is lost before the [READ/ENTER] key is pressed, the TE

Series Starter will not store the selected value in memory.

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 described in Section 7 of the Advanced Installation, Operation and Programming
Manual for details. Fault codes are displayed by 3 alpha characters. The first and second characters (rea ding
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, and “d” denotes Decel or Stopped.

Fault Mode

The TE Series will automatically enter the Fault Mode when a fault occurs in the motor or starter and display
a code indicating the condition that caused a shutdown. 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, and “d” denotes Decel or
Stopped.

A Fault History of the past 3 events is stored and can be accessed by using the Up or Down Arrow keys

pressing the Reset button. The first (newest) event is indicated by the decimal point in the lower right

before
corner. A more detailed history with time and date stamps is also kept in Functions 85 through 93.

Fault Codes:
Basic common fault codes are shown in the chart below. For additional details refer to Chapter 7 of the

Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual, or contact the factory for assistance.

Chapter 5 - Motor Overload Protection



Solid State Overload Protection

The TE Series Starter provides true U.L. listed I
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.



Thermal Memory

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



Therm al Cap aci ty
The Thermal Register is displayed as a percentage. This percentage is the motor’s remaining

capacity. The percentage value begins at 100%; showing that the motor is cool (e.g. motor 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.



Examples: 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

H100

100% Thermal

Capacity remaining

at rest

H057

57% Thermal Capacity



remaining after starter

(43% used)



Disabling the Overload Protection

The Overload Protection feature can be disabled if necessary. Please refer to the Advanced
Installation, Operation and Programming Manual for instructions and considerations before
disabling the Overload Protection.

100% of the Thermal Capacity (H = Heat capacity) remaining in the motor. After
starting or running, the motor wi ll u se 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.

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 Ser ies 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).

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.



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.





Automatic Reset
If Autom atic Res et is necessar y, change from Manual Res et to Automatic Rese t by using F unc tion F005.
(See Section 5 of the full Installation, Operation and Maintenance 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
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





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.



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 of the Advanced Installation,
Operation and Programming Manual for programming details.



Starting Overload Trip Curve
During the start mode, Overload Trip Curves are selectable from NEMA Class 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30.

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.



Running Overload Curv e
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.
