POWER CONNECTIONS
The AquaStart Start-up Manual is a supplement to help get the AquaStart commissioned quickly using the
most common installation and conguration options. This manual is not meant to replace the SSW07 User’s
Manual. For detailed safety precautions, mounting, installation, conguration, or operation instructions, please
refer to the SSW07 User’s Guide.
WARNING: Only qualied personnel should plan or implement the installation, start-up, operation and
maintenance of this equipment. Personnel must read the entire SSW07 User’s Guide before attempting to
install, operate or troubleshoot the AquaStart Panel.

BASIC WIRING
1. Mount the AquaStart panel to a at vertical surface.
2. Connect the three-phase incoming power leads to the R, S, and T connections on the power terminal (refer
to Figure 1). Connect the motor leads to the U, V, and W connections on the power terminal and connect
the GROUND lead to PE on the chassis (refer to Figure 1). Note: Only three-phase AC motors can be
used.
USING THE KEYPAD (OPTIONAL)
The keypad can be used in the following arrangements:
• Keypad on controller:
o Local keypad is attached to the SSW07 controller for commanding, programming, and/or visualizing
parameters.
• Keypad on door:
o Remote keypad is mounted “through door” attached to the SSW07 controller with a cable for
commanding, programming, and/or visualizing parameters.
The SSW-07 local or remote keypads present a 7-segment 4-digit LED display, 4 status LEDs, and 8 keys. The
gures below show a front view of the remote keypad and the local keypad.

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYS:
Enables the motor (start);
Disables the motor (stop), Resets the
Soft-Starter after the occurrence of
errors;
Selects (toggles) the display between
the parameter number and its value
(position/content);
Increments the parameter number or
parameter value;
4
Decrements the parameter number or
parameter value;
Selects the origin of the commands
between Local or Remote;
No Function on SSW-07

START-UP BY VOLTAGE RAMP USING THE KEYPAD: (most common conguration)
1. The soft starter should be powered up with a display of “RDY”.
2. Press the key to enter the programming mode.
3. Press the or key to select P000 (Access to parameters).
4. Press the key to change value of parameter.
5. Press the or key to set to “5” to allow access to parameters.
6. Press the key to save the selected option.
7. Press the or key to select P219 (Parameterization via keypad).
8. Press the key to change value of parameter.
9. Press the or key to set to “0” for keypad programming.
10. Press the to save the selected option.
11. Press the or key to select P202 (the Password is).
12. Press the key to change value of parameter.
13. Press the or key to set to “0” for Voltage Ramp.
14. Press the key to save the selected option and exit the programming mode.
15. Press the or key to select P003 (Motor Current).
16. Press the key to read the Motor Current value (This is a read parameter).
17. Press the key to operate soft-start via HMI.
18. Press the start key. The motor accelerates to full voltage and the bypass contact engages.
Note: If the direction of rotation is not correct, turn the input disconnect to the off position and swap any
two wires at the motor output.
19. Press the stop key. The motor decelerates until stopping by coast to rest. Time to stop depends on
load inertia and friction.
Note: For a complete description of Parameters and Error codes refer to Chapters 6 and 7 in the SSW07
Programming Manual.
NOTE: FOR SUBMERSIBLE MOTORS, SET THE INITIAL VOLTAGE P101 TO 70% AND THE MOTOR
PROTECTION THERMAL CLASS P640 TO 2 (CLASS 10).
