The TE2 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 500% for 20 seconds (Standard Duty)
and up to 500% for 60 seconds (Heavy Duty). The TE2 Series features
smooth, stepless ramp control, which reduces motor inrush current and
excessive wear on the mechanical drive train components. The TE2 Series includes a programming 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 TE2 Series.
By simply adjusting the units’ 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 TE2 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 Start / Stop control. Programmable auxiliary
contacts and provisions for interlocking are also included.

1.2 Sizes and Ratings
The Toshiba TE2 Series starters are current rated controllers. Max.
Amp ratings are for continuous duty and must not be exceeded. Always
check the motor nameplate FLA and Service Factor to ensure proper
sizing.
Each size has an adjustable current range of 50% to 100% of the Max
Amp rating. Table 1.2 shows the Current Ratings available.
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 TE2 Series starter must be sized for the total amps
used. For proper selection of the TE2 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. The following excerpt is from
the NEMA MG-1 standards for AC Motors that describes the
issues concerning the use of Service Factor ratings.
"When an induction motor is operated at any service factor
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."
When using this feature, simply program the TE2 Series
Service Factor (F002) to the nameplate rating. (See section
5.6.1.) All other adjustments to the protection circuits are done
automatically within the TE2 Series.
1.2.2 Selecting for Across the Line Bypass
If you need to be able to start the motor Across-the-Line when
the TE2 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. When doing this, please
refer to the Product Selection Guide for details and notes, and
see Appendix 4 for special considerations regarding Overload
Protection.
1.2.3 The TE2…-BP Series starters include the ability to connect a
dry contact directly to the Bypass Contactor coil control circuit.
These terminals are covered when shipped and should be used
ONLY when necessary for Emergency Bypass operation and with
an external Overload Relay. See Appendix 4 for additional
information.
No field wiring to these terminals is necessary 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 nameplate on the unit match or are greater
than the motors’ HP and current rating with which it is to be used.
2.2 Choosing a Location
Proper location of the TE2 Series is necessary to achieve specified
performance and normal operational lifetime. The TE2 Series should
always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:
Ambient operating temperature: 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.
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 TE2
Series unit is rated for the proper amperage and voltage.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 5 | Page
2.4 SERVICE WARNING!
r
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 Lockout 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 actual electrical shorts. 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 TE2 Series - BP models were designed for close clearances of only 1 inch
(25mm) on either side. A minimum clearance of 4 inches (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. NEC or local codes may require more
clearance, particularly for the power terminals.

Chapter 3 - Motor Overload Protection
3.1 Solid State Overload Protection
MOTOR FLA (F001)
must be programmed
for unit to operate!
Examples:
H100
100% Thermal
Capacity remaining
at rest
H057
57% Thermal Capacity
remaining after starter
(43% used)
The TE2 Series Starter provides true U.L. listed I
Protection as a built-in function of the main digital processor for
maximum motor protection. It mimics the tripping action of a bi-metallic
overload relay, with the accuracy and repeatability of a digital control
system. It is adjustable over a wide range and is easily be programmed
to different trip curves.
3.1.1 Thermal Memory
The TE2 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 nonvolatile memory, the TE2 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 thermal capacity. The percentage value begins at
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 is 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 access 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 TE2 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 TE2 Series
without entering the motor nameplate FLA, the starter will Fault and
the display will read “nFLA” (no Full Load Amps).

TE2
Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 11 | Page
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
TE2 Series is wired downstream from an existing starter, this feature
can be disabled to prevent conflicts with external Overload Protection
devices. When the TE2 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 4 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 be on
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 TE2 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: M OT OR CONNECT ED T O T HIS EQUIPM ENT
MAY ST ART AUT OMAT ICALLY WIT HOUT WARNING
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 12 | Page
3.1.3.c Overload Protection During Bypass
When an integral Bypass Contactor is used to shunt power around
the SCRs in the TE2 Series (as in the TE2…-BP version), overload
protection is maintained as long as the TE2 Series is directly
controlling the contactor. No additional Overload Relay is
necessary for normal operation.
When the Bypass Contactor on a TE2…-BP Series has been
selected to be used for Across-the-Line restart (reference section
1.2.3), supplemental overload protection is necessary. For this
application, refer to the External Overload Relay Applications
supplement and wiring diagram in Appendix 4.
3.1.3.d Dynamic Reset Capacity
The TE2 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 TE2 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 30 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.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 13 | Page
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.

4.1.2 Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Power factor correction capacitors can be connected to motors
TE2 Power Connections
Figure 4.1:
4.1 Power Connections
Refer to national and local code for wire sizing and length, connect
power conductors to the unit input terminals marked L1, L2, L3 (R, S, T
for IEC users). 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). If control power is present,
but line power is disconnected from L1, L2, 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.
4.1.1 Bypass Contactor
Bypass Contactors are integral (built-in) on all TE2 sizes. See sections
1.2.3, 3.1.3.c, and Appendix 4 for more details on contactor control and
overload protection details.
controlled by TE2 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 size, and be sure that the ground connector is connected to
earth ground.
TE2
Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 15 | Page
4.1.4 Testing
The TE2 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 5.6.8.a under “Phase
Loss Protection” for additional details on performing this task.
Notes:
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.
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 SPDs (Surge Protection Device) 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. Enclosed versions may be
provided with a surge protection device.
4.2 Control Connections
Control connections on the TE2 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 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 5.6.10).

marked A1 and A2 of TB-2 as shown in figure 4.2.1 (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.

4.2.1.a Control Power Requirements
When sizing a control power transformer for the TE2…-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 values to ensure proper operation of the Bypass
Contactor.
4.2.1.b Control Fusing
The output relay contacts (TB2) must be protected from currents in
excess of 5A by either using fuses or 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. Any circuit connected to it must be fused
accordingly.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 17 | Page
4.2.2 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 N.O. 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 N.C. from the Stop button to Terminal 3 (3rd from
left).
4.2.2.a Seal In Contact
The TE2 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
the 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 TE2 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
When using the Auto Reset functions (F052 - F053), special
consideration must be given to using 2-wire control. Refer to section
5.6.8 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
down.
CAUTION!
Control Terminals 1-10 of TB1 are configured using solid state
devices powered internally with a 24VDC power supply. To prevent
damage to the TE2 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.
4.2.4 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 TE2 Series unit to operate if external interlocks are not used. If this jumper is
removed and an interlock is not used, the TE2 Series unit will not
function.
TE2
Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 18 | Page
Note: Ramp 2 terminals are defaulted as
“External Reset”, see parameter F113 for
other options.
Note: Jog terminals are defaulted as
“External Lockout, Normally Closed”, see
parameter F113 for other options.
4.2.5 Enabling the 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 sections 5.6.2 and 5.6.3 for full function
descriptions and setup.
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 TE2 Series starter will respond to the
settings for Ramp 2 in F015 - F018. If no contact closure is present,
the TE2 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.
Dual Ramp input can also be configured as a “Remote reset”
(See parameter F113 and associated table)
4.2.5.b 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 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.
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).
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 19 | Page
4.2.6 Analog Output (4-20mA)
The TE2 Series starter provides a 4 to 20 milliamp output signal that
can be set to monitor different parameter values using F108 and scaled
with parameter F109 and F110. See section 5.5.16.
4.2.6.a External Overload Relay Connection
If an external Overload Relay (OLR) is used (see Section 3.1.3.c and
Appendix 4), connect the N.C. aux. contact of the OLR across the
Jog input (TB1 terminals 7&8), and re-program the Jog input for
“External Lockout N/C”, by changing F113 per table in sect 5.6.17.
When the external OLR trips, the contact will open. This indicates an
immediate Overload to the starter, which trips and displays [LcA, Lcc, or Lcd] depending on operation mode when the overload trips.
If multiple OLRs are used, i.e. multiple motors controlled by the same
TE2 Series starter, simply wire the Aux Contacts in series as shown
in Figure 4.2.6.a. See Appendix 4 for additional information.
Note:
This feature is especially useful when using Deceleration Control
because it will immediately shut off power to the motor even if
Deceleration is active. If used this way, the trip indication will be
[LcA, Lcc, or Lcd] depending on the operation mode when the trip
is issued.

4.2.7 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 22 as shown in Table 5.6.9.
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 TE2 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 240VAC, 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 TE2 Series detecting At-Speed, and returns to normal on
Stop. At-Speed is determined by the TE2 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 - 21 (as defined in Table 5.6.9) occurs.
All relays can be reprogrammed for a wide variety of functions.
See Section 5.6.9 for additional relay programming details.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 21 | Page
4.2.9 Bypass Contactor Control
On TE2…-BP version (and NEMA 12 enclosures) 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 TE2…-BP Series starters use standard industrial contactors
that can be controlled independently 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.
Supplemental overload protection will be required (see section
3.1.3.c).
Units have external terminal blocks marked for this purpose (see
Appendix 4 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 voltage 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 TE2 Series, the At-Speed signaling can be
programmed into any of the three Output relays (section 4.2.8 and
Table 5.6.9).

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 displayed by 3 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 or
Stop.
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 Overload 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. Overload 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).

and opened to facilitate a trip reset. See figure 5.4.5.b for a
suggested connection.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 28 | Page
5.4.5.c Automatic Reset
The TE2 Series starter provides for automatic reset on certain non-
critical faults and Overload. For non-critical fault resets, see section
5.6.9.b for program details of F052. For automatic Overload reset,
see section 3.1.3.b 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 TE2 Series cannot be started. To reset
the Lockout Times for emergency restart, see section 5.6.11, 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 press the [Fn] key to enter the Programming Mode
and move to different functions.

5.6 Function Descriptions
Your TE2 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
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.).
Note:
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%).
F002 = Service Factor
Factory Setting = 1.0 S.F.
Range = 1.00 - 1.30
Set value according to the Service Factor (SF) data provided on
the motors’ 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.
Note:
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.
F003 = Overload Class During Start
Factory Setting = 10 (Class 10)
Range = NEMA / UL Class 5 - 30
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.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 37 | Page
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 TE2 Series will NOT
trip 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 4 for more details.
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
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 38 | Page
5.6.2 Starting Modes
The TE2 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 it be required. Unless wired to do so,
the TE2 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 TE2 Series will ignore all settings in reference
to Ramp 2.

“Current Ramp”, the “Initial Torque (Voltage)” is ignored.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 39 | Page
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 voltage 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 current 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.
Sets the time between the initial value set with F011 or F012
and either the Max Current Limit set with F014 or full output
voltage. Set the time to enable soft starts without stalls. Also,
consider the motor’s application. For example, centrifugal
pumps may require a shorter ramp time.
Note:
Acceleration time is affected by the following conditions:
1. Reducing the Current Limit setting will extend the acceleration time
if the motor reaches full speed prematurely.
2. The anti-oscillation circuit may shorten the ramp time if the motor
reaches full speed before the programmed ramp time has expired.
F014 = Max Current Limit of Ramp 1
Factory Setting = 350%
Range = 200 - 600%
Sets the maximum motor current that the TE2 Series starter will
allow during Ramp 1. This limit applies to both voltage and
current ramping. Current will be limited to this setting until either
the motor reaches full speed or the overload protection feature
trips (F003).
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 40 | Page
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 TE2 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 Voltage of Ramp 2
Factory Setting = 60%
Range = 0 - 100%
Sets the initial voltage of Ramp 2 when F010 = 1 or 4. The
initial voltage 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 Current of Ramp 2
Factory Setting = 200%
Range = 0 - 600%
Sets the initial current of Ramp 2 when F010 = 2 or 3. The
initial current 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.
Sets the time between the initial value set with F015 or F016
and either the Max Current Limit set with F018 or full output
voltage. Also consider the motor’s application. For example,
centrifugal pumps may require a shorter time. See notes for
F013 for more details.
F018 = Max Current Limit of Ramp 2
Factory Setting = 350%
Range = 200 - 600%
Sets the maximum motor current that the TE2 Series starter will
allow during Ramp 2. (This limit applies to both voltage and
current-type ramping.) The current will be limited to this setting
until either the motor reaches full speed or the overload
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.

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
TE2 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 & F020) 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.

Caution:
Although the Thermal Register tracks all motor current use,

or nuisance tripping.
F019 = Voltage Jog
Factory Setting = 50%
Range = 5 - 100%
Sets the voltage level of the Jog feature and is typically used to
check rotation, alignment, or to slowly move a load into position.
Jogging at a set voltage has no current control so the duration
of the applied voltage must be limited to prevent excessive
motor heating.
Set to minimize motor heating during a voltage jog. This setting
is the maximum allowable time for jogging the motor using
voltage only.
F021 = Current Jog
Factory Setting = 150%
Range = 100 - 500%
Sets output of a current Jog. The current jog feature is typically
used to check rotation, alignment, or slowly move a load into
position. This is not time-limited but should be used cautiously.

5.6.4 Kick Start Mode
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 ≠ 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.
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
Voltage 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.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 43 | Page
5.6.5 Pump-Flex
Pump-Flex
deceleration is a feature of the TE2 Series Soft Starter that
Decel Mode (F025 through F028)
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.
SEE APPENDIX 2 AT THE END OF THIS MANUAL for typical PumpFlex Decel feature applications and more detailed descriptions of the
following functions.
F024 = Deceleration Ramp
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0 - 2
When F024 = 0, the deceleration feature is disabled.
When F024 = 1, the deceleration feature is enabled AND the overload
protection feature (F003 - F005) remains active (power off on
OL trip).
When F024 = 2, the deceleration feature is enabled and deceleration
will continue even when an overload condition trips.
WARNING!
Setting F024 = 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.

TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 44 | Page
5.6.6 Restart Delay
The TE2 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 Voltage Protection Features
F029 - F037 set extended protection features that may be used in the
TE2 Series starter.
Note:
All of these features are disabled upon shipping from the
factory and must be enabled via user programming as follows:
F029 = Voltage Input (nominal line voltage)
Factory Setting = 480 (V)
Range = 200 - 600 (V)
Set to the nominal line voltage supplied to the TE2 unit. This
value is used for both display and calculations of kW, PF etc.
F030 = Voltage Imbalance Trip
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 30% or 0 (Disabled)
Sets the trip level for percent voltage imbalance between any
two phases, and the average of the phase to phase voltages.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 45 | Page
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients. With F030 set to 10%, and the difference in
voltage between two phases being 10% or higher for more than
10 seconds, the unit will trip.
F032 = Over Voltage Trip
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 10% over nominal, 0 (Disabled)
When a value other than 0 is entered in F032, the starter will
trip when the voltage between any two input phases exceeds
the nominal voltage set in F029 by this percentage and for the
time specified in F033.
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients. For example, if the voltage between any two
input phases exceeds the percentage set in F031 for more than
10 seconds, the starter will trip.
F034 = Under Voltage Trip on Start
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 30% under nominal, or 0 (Disabled)
When a value other than 0 is entered in F034 and the starter is
in the process of starting the motor, the starter will trip if the
voltage between any two input phases drops below the nominal
value of F029 by this percentage and for the time in F035. This
fault detection is only active during motor starting. Once the
starter reaches the "At Speed" state this function is replaced by
F036.
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients. Using default setting, if the voltage between
any two input phases drops by the percentage set in F034 for
more than 10 seconds, the starter will trip.
F036 = Under Voltage Trip on Run
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 30% under nominal, or 0 (Disabled)
When a value other than 0 is entered in F036 and the starter is
in the run mode (At Speed), the starter will trip if the voltage
between any two input phases drops below the nominal value of
F029 by this percentage and for the time in F037. This fault
detection is only active after the starter reaches the "At Speed"
state during the Run mode. While in the Start mode, this
function is ignored in favor of F034.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 46 | Page
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients. Using default setting, if the percent
difference in voltage between any two input phases equals or is
greater than the value set in F036 for more than 2 seconds the
starter will trip.
Note:
Under Voltage and Over Voltage Trip settings may conflict
with Voltage Imbalance Trip settings set in F030 and F031.
If a voltage anomaly occurs that is out of range of any
feature, the one with the lowest settings and fastest trip
time will take precedence.
5.6.8 Current and Ground Fault Protection Features
F038 - F050 set extended protection features that may be used in the
TE2 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:
When a value other than 0 is entered in 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 damage due to jammed loads.
Note: Overcurrent trip is only enabled after motor reaches “At
Speed”, it will not trip during acceleration”.
F043 = Over Current Trip Delay
Factory Setting = 1 second
Range = 1 - 20 seconds
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short-duration
transients. For example using default settings, if the output current of
any phase exceeds F042 for more than 1 second, the starter will trip.
F044 = Under Current Trip
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 10 - 90%, or 0 (Disabled)
When a value other than 0 is entered in F044, the starter will trip when
the output current of any phase drops below the amount set, and the
time specified by 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 failure. In pumping
applications, this can be used as a “Loss of Prime” trip.
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients. Using the default setting, if the output
current of any phase drops below F044 for more than 2
seconds, the starter will trip.
5.6.8.a Ground Fault
F046 - F047 provides Ground Fault protection for equipment only using
the Residual Current method. Trip settings are based on the CT ratio as
shown in F074. A delay time can be set by 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 damaging ground
currents. Ground faults are potentially dangerous
conditions and must be corrected immediately for safety of
operating personnel.
TE2
Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 48 | Page
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 in 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. Following are two examples of Ground
Fault current settings.
Example:
To calculate the ground current trip value in amps, divide the setting of
F046 by the CT Value in F074 then multiply by 100. Example using
TE2-210-BP: The value in F046 = 20, the CT value in F074 = 250. So,
20/250 = 0.08 x 100 = 8A.
If you have a desired trip value in amps and need to determine the
percentage value for F046, simply divide the desired trip ampere value
by 100, then multiply that times the value in F074.
Example: 210A starter desired Ground Fault Trip Level is 8A, The CT
value is F074 is 250. Then, 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08 then x 250 = 20% in F046.
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.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 49 | Page
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 DO NOT 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 control, the starter
may re-start automatically when time has expired. Adequate
warnings similar to those in Section 3.1.3.b should be observed.
F048 = Coast Down Lockout Timer
Back Spin Timer
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 60 minutes, or 0 (Disabled)
F048 = 1 - 60, 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 (spindown timer), or reversing applications to prevent plugging (anti-plugging
timer).
TE2
Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 50 | Page
F049 = Maximum Starts per Hour Lockout
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 10 or 0 (Disabled)
F049 = 1 - 10, counts 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).
Notes:
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 external electronic
braking option, count these cycles as additional “starts” when
determining maximum starts-per-hour.
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 the first start.
This function is useful as a “Short-Cycle Timer” to prevent
excessive motor wear when automatic demand control may
occasionally cycle on and off too quickly. e.g. compressors or
sump pumps.
When F051 is set to 1, TE2 trips when control power is lost.
5.6.9.b Auto-Reset Programming (F052 - F054)
The TE2 Series can be programmed to automatically attempt a
reset based on the selected “Auto-Reset” faults (F52), provided a
Start Command is present (see Section 4.2), and no fault condition
is active. Function F52 selects the “Auto-Reset” faults and function
F53 sets the number of reset attempts. If F053 is set to 0 (default
setting), the TE2 Series auto-reset function is disabled.
Note:
When using 3-wire control:
For safety reasons, the TE2 Series will not attempt restarting
unless the Start Command is reinitiated and maintained during a
restart attempt.

F052 = Auto-Reset Selected Faults
Factory Setting = 4 (Phase Loss)
Range = 1 - 17, or 0 (Disabled)

Remaining Thermal Capacity (in the Status Screen group) to be
able to determine when a restart will be allowed. This value is
automatically updated by the TE2 Series CPU whenever a
successful start sequence has been accomplished. The TE2 Series essentially “learns” how much Thermal Capacity is
needed in the motor in order to successfully restart, and stores
the information in this Function. Upon power loss and
restoration, this value is updated for elapsed time.

Special Note when using Serial Comm:
When F068 = 3, the function of the Jog Input
on TB-1 terminals 7 and 8 must be changed
to ”Remote/Local” in F113. Closing the Input
will cause the Comm. port control to function
as per setting F068=1. Leaving the input
open will cause the Comm. port to function
as per setting F068=0.
5.6.11 Serial Communications
The TE2 Series starter is shipped from the factory ready to accept
RS-485 Serial Communications using Modbus RTU protocol.
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 COM port.
F065 = Communications
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0 - 2
This enables serial communications for remote monitoring and
control systems. It also sets the format for Modbus RTU
protocol. Once Enabled, the local start / stop inputs are altered
to avoid inadvertent starting. See F068 for details.
F065 = 0, communications are disabled.
F065 = 1, uses the std 11-bit Modbus format w/ parity bit.
F065 = 2, a non-standard 10-bit format without a parity bit is
used to accommodate some systems using this
method.
F066 = Baud Rate
Factory Setting = 9.6 kB
Range = 4.8 to 19.2 kB
Set value to either 4.8 kB, 9.6 kB, or 19.2 kB to match the
setting of the host device.
F067 = Modbus Address
Factory Setting = 1
Range = 1 - 247
Using Modbus communications protocol, up to 247 TE2 Series
starters can be networked using RS485 standard
communication, each having a unique address. Two devices
with the same address will result in a communications error.
F068 = Remote Starter Control
Factory Setting = 0 (disabled)
Range = 0 - 3
This determines how the TE2 Series starter is to be controlled
when using serial communications.
When F068 = 0, the starter can be monitored by the
communications. No communications based start or stop
capabilities are available.
When F068 = 1, 2, the starter will be controlled by the COM
port. In addition, the Start / Stop inputs are altered as follows:
The hard-wired Start command is put in “AND” logic with the
COM port; Both Start commands must be on for the TE2 to
start. The Stop function is put in “OR” logic; either the COM port
Stop command OR the hard-wired Stop will cause the TE2 to
stop.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 55 | Page
When F068 = 3, and the jog input is set to “Remote/Local” in
F113 the TE2 starter will change the function of the Jog 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 COM port as per setting F068=0. When the Jog Input is closed, the starter will respond as per setting F068=1.
Use this function if it is necessary to have a return to local
start/stop control should the communications system fail or
become disconnected. NOTE: There is no jog function
available, due to the reconfiguration of the jog input port. The
jog input must be manually changed to “Remote/Local” in
parameter F113.
F069= Reserved
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 to local time zone if
accurate time values are needed.
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

5.6.14 Phase Protection Settings
F098 = Phase Rotation Trip
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0 (Disabled), 1 (A-B-C), or 2 (B-A-C)
The TE2 Series is set up to monitor an expected Phase
Rotation and trip if it changes. Control of this is divided into two
categories: Enable or Disabled and Expected Sequence. The
default setting is disabled.
Setting this function to disabled (setting 0) is useful in
applications where the TE2 Series is going to be used
downstream from an existing reversing contactor or to avoid
conflicts with other protection devices.
On large motors where large multiple conductors are used, it
may be easier to change the Expected Sequence in the TE2 Series starter rather than swap the conductors.
F099 = Phase Rotation Trip Delay
Factory Setting = 1 second
Range = 1 - 20 seconds
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients. Using default settings, if the phase rotation
is detected to be different for more than 1 second the starter will
trip.
F100 = Phase Loss Trip Delay during Stop
Factory Setting = 1 second
Range = 0 - 20 seconds (0 = Disabled)
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients while stopped.
Note: Based on loss of input voltage on one phase while
decelerating or stopped.
F101 = Phase Loss Trip Delay during Running
Factory Setting = 1 second
Range = 0 - 20 seconds (0 = Disabled)
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients while running.
Note: Based on current in one phase dropping below 20% of
FLA (F001), while starting or running.

Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 2, or 0 (Disabled)
When a value other than 0 is entered for F102, the starter will
trip according to the following settings:
1 = Over kW Trip. If the calculated motor load exceeds the trip
point setting in F103 for the time set in F104, the starter will trip.
2 = Under kW Trip. If the calculated motor load falls below the
trip point setting in F103 for the time set in F104, the starter will
trip.
Factory Setting = 50 %
Range = 20 - 100 % of calculated motor full load kW rating
Motor rated power (kW) is calculated based upon Voltage times
Current times power factor (all of which are measured) times
1.732 (for 3 phase). Efficiency is assumed to be 100% for these
purposes.
Factory Setting = 1 second
Range = 1 - 999 seconds
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients. Using default setting, if F102 is set to 1 and
the motor kW rises above the value in F103, the starter will trip
after 1 minute. Similarly, if F102 is set to 2 and the motor kW
falls below F103, the starter will trip in one minute.
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 1 - 3
When a value other than 0 is entered for F105, the starter will
trip according to the following settings:
1 = Trip on Lagging power factor. If the measured motor
power factor lags behind the trip point setting in F106 for the
time set in F107, the starter will trip.
2 = Trip on Leading power factor. If the measured motor
power factor leads beyond the trip point setting in F106 for the
time set in F107, the starter will trip.
3 = Trip on Leading or Lagging power factor. If the
measured motor power factor lags or leads the value in F106
for the time set in F107, the starter will trip.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 61 | Page
F106 = Motor Power Factor Trip Point
Factory Setting = 0.50 (cosine θ)
Range = 0.01 - 1.0 measured motor Power Factor
Motor Power Factor (PF) is measured based upon measured
voltage and current waveforms.
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from shortduration transients. Using default setting, if the motor PF moves
outside of the settings in F106 in the direction set in F105 for
more than 2 seconds, the starter will trip.

6.2 Start-up Check List
Supply voltage matches the rated supply voltage of the unit.
Horsepower and current ratings of the motor and starter have the
same rating, or the starter has a higher rating.
Initial ramp time and torque adjustments have been checked.
Input voltage source is connected to the starters input terminals L1,
L2 and L3.
Motor leads are connected to the starter output 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 readout is 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 personnel 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.
The Bypass Contactor should pull in.
If the motor does not fully accelerate, decelerates, or stops during
the acceleration period, push the Stop button immediately and open
the disconnect line.
If Pump-Flex Decel is programmed in F025:
Remove the Run Command (or push the Stop button). At-Speed
LED will go out.
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 section.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 66 | Page
6.4 Testing with a smaller motor
To test the TE2 Series starter in combination with a motor that
draws less than Less than 20% of the FLA setting in F001, the
Phase Current Loss (Running) protection must be disabled as per
instructions in section 5.6.14 (F101). If this feature is not disabled,
the TE2 Series will trip on a Phase Loss fault after running for 3
seconds at low current levels.
Chapter 7 - Fault Conditions
7.1 Fault Codes and Numbers (in History)
A two or three character fault code is displayed in the LED display at the
time of the trip event. For three character codes, the first two characters
indicate the trip condition (see Table 7.1). The third digit is a suffix
showing the TE2 Series operating mode when the trip occurred.
Operating modes are as follows:
Code suffix “A”: Acceleration, meaning that the TE2 Series was
ramping up, but had not yet achieved “At-Speed” status (see table 5.2
for a brief description of At-Speed indication).
Code suffix “c”: Constant Speed (running), meaning that the TE2
Series has reached the At-Speed condition and the motor was running
when the trip occurred.
Code suffix “d”: Decel or Stop, meaning the TE2 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 (motor)
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. The
numeric codes follow the display codes exactly. Table 7.1 shows the
Fault Display Codes, Fault Number Codes, and LED indicators for each
fault condition. 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 fault code “oLA” will be
displayed. Its corresponding number will be entered into the fault
history. In this case, the number 0010 will be shown on the display in
function F085 (Fault History). The time the fault occurred is available in
function F086 shown as “hh.mm.” Example: 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 shown as “mm.dd”. If the “oLA”
fault occurred on March 1, F077 shows “03.01.” If no fault history is
available, F085 reads 0000.

Appendix 1 - Ramp Profile Details
The TE2 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, due to the fact
Initial Tor que
Full Speed
that at some 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
Ramp Time
Voltage
Time
Figure APP 1.1:
Voltage Ramp w/o Curre nt Limit
Positive displacement pumps
Drum mixers, grinders etc.
Voltage is increased from a starting point (Initial Voltage) 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%).
2. Voltage Ramping with Current Limit works similar to mode 1,
Initial Tor que
Full Speed
except this mode adds an adjustable maximum current output. Voltage
is increased gradually until the motor current reaches the Maximum
Current Limit setting (F014). The motor current is held at this level until
the motor accelerates to full speed. When the motor current drops
below the limit setting, the output voltage is automatically increased until

the TE2 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.

3. Closed Loop Current (Torque) Ramp provides a smooth increase
of output torque. Ramp Time becomes the time from Initial Torque to
the Current Limit setting. Output current is constantly updated using an
internal PID feedback loop to provide a linear current ramp, 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 Current Ramping with the TE2 Series, set the Ramp Profile
(F010) to 0002 or 0004 (Current Ramp), and the Maximum Current Limit
setting (F014) to the desired level. The initial torque value comes from
the initial current setting in F012.
4. Current Limit Only (Current Step) uses 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 Voltage is set to maximum and Ramp Time is set to
minimum, so that the output current steps 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 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 eff
icient 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.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 72 | Page
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 it is determined that the
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 TE2 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 maximum 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.
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
Overload Trip. If this happens, try raising the Current Limit setting
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 tuned 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 uphill is called the “Head
Pressure”. The pump is sized to provide enough Output Pressure to
overcome the Head Pressure and move the fluid up the hill. 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.
The 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
Deceleration feature of the TE2 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 TE2 Serieswill end the Pump-Flex
Deceleration cycle and turn
itself off.
Caution!
Deceleration is THE OPPOSITE of braking. Enabling the
Deceleration feature will make the motor take LONGER to
stop than if it were simply turned off.
TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 74 | Page
Setup and Use
Pump systems vary greatly. To accommodate this, the Pump-Flex
Deceleration control feature is designed to provide complete flexibility in
how the deceleration process takes place by using the following
settings:
Deceleration 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.

F027: Decel Ramp Time
F024 = Deceleration Ramp
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0 - 2
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 Deceleration
voltage. However, if an overload trip occurs, the starter ceases
applying Deceleration 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 F024 = 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 and fire.

F025 = Begin Decel Level (BDL)
Factory Setting = 60%
Range = 0 - 100% of line voltage
Used to drop voltage to a level where there is a noticeable
effect on motor torque during Deceleration mode. Generally,
systems with high head pressure need to start Deceleration
near the top of the ramp (85 - 95%). Low head systems can
drop to lower settings (50 - 60%). 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 Deceleration is no longer effective.
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.
Sets the time for the deceleration ramp to go from the Begin
Deceleration Level setting (F026) to the Deceleration 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 Deceleration function, count these cycles as
additional “starts” when determining maximum starts-per-hour.
Other Applications:
Another common application for Deceleration 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. When the Parameter Lock has been
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.

“0000”, meaning that there is no password. As soon as you press the first Arrow key, the display will change to [0000]
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).
Press the UP arrow and the LEFT arrow keys
The display will show the numerical value you entered. The
valid range is 0000 to 0999. In this example, 0123 was
selected.
Press the Read Enter key
The display will flash [End] to confirm you have entered a
password. Then it will return to displaying the Function #.
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 - External Overload Relay Applications
Your TE2 Series starter comes equipped with a very intelligent internal
electronic overload protection system, and does not need an external
Overload 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 Deceleration Function is activated (F024), additional
consideration must be put into determining how the starter is to
operate in the event of an Overload 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 TE2 Series protection (even though
most of the features are the same or better). In these instances the TE2 Series Overload 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.
REDUNDANT BYPASS STARTER APPLICATIONS:
In some applications, it may be necessary to provide an independent
means of starting and protecting the motor should the TE2 Series
starter become inoperable. If this were the case, the Bypass Contactor
could be used for Across-the-Line (A.T.L.) starting of the motor. The
TE2…BP version with Integral Bypass Contactors is designed for that
possibility, as long as the starter is properly selected when ordered. To
do so, 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.
Under normal operations, the Bypass Contactor is controlled internally
by the TE2 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. AC
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 TE2 Series. Refer to the following diagram for
the location on your unit.

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 CR
contact closes the 24VDC control signal to TB1, terminals 1 & 3 of the
TE2 Series and begins ramping. When At-Speed is reached, an internal
Bypass Relay closes the Bypass Contactor. While in this mode, the
CPU provides full motor protection, even in bypass.
When the Selector Switch is placed in the “A-T-L” (Across-the-Line)
position, a 2
nd
isolated contact of CR closes between B1 and B2 of TB4
which are internally connected in parallel to the Bypass Relay contact in
the Bypass Contactor coil circuit. Since the TE2 electronics may be out
of service, an External Overload is added which operates 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.

SPECIAL MOTOR APPLICATIONS
Multiple Motors
When more than one motor is connected downstream from the TE2 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 TE2 Series Overload 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.

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 4.2.5a for Dual Ramp info.)
