F6 - Service Factor

1.15. The factory default is 1.15. A service factor of 1.15

values for a service factor of 1.0. This results in more margin

before tripping.

alternate between the two choices until the selected value

is displayed.

4. Press the ENTER key to change the active setting to the

selected value. The display becomes blank while you hold

down the ENTER key, and the SAMMS-LV device stores the

new setting. (If you make an incorrect selection, repeat

steps 3 and 4.)

5. To exit the program mode, press and hold the (F)unction key

for several seconds. The display will show “Prog.” Press the

automatically resets 30 seconds after an overload or exter-

nal trip. At this time the motor can start. If autoreset is OFF,

rent unbalances of greater than 40% accelerate overload

tripping. The Phase Unbalance LED flashes for unbal-

ances between 20% and 40%. It remains steadily illumi-

nated for unbalances greater than 40%.
