1 Introduction
1.1 About this Manual
This manual introduces you to the Siemens Advanced Motor
Master System (SAMMS-LV) motor protection and control relay
which incorporates protection designed for low voltage motors.
This manual also contains information for installing and operat-
ing the device, communicating with other devices over the
ACCESS  electrical distribution communications system, and
troubleshooting the device. This manual also provides a helpful
technical reference for you to use. Refer to table 1.1 to
determine which section of the manual contains the information
that you need.
These instructions prepare you to handle, install, operate and
maintain the SAMMS-LV device and the Hand-Held Commu-
nicator (HHC). The individual starters and controllers used are
designed for specific applications based upon your equipment
and needs. Instructions covering these starters and compo-
nents are not included in this manual. For this information, refer
to instructions and drawings furnished with your equipment, or
contact your Siemens representative. You must read these
instructions and determine applicability of your equipment.
Refer to the nameplate data on your controller and to the
electrical diagrams supplied with your controller to determine
applicability of your equipment.
1.2 About the SAMMS-LV Device
The SAMMS-LV device, shown in Figure 1.1, is a software-
configured electronic motor control and overload protection
device that incorporates protection tailored to the special
characteristics of low voltage motors. The SAMMS-LV system
includes a microprocessor-based SAMMS-LV device which
receives signal inputs from a set of current transformers (either
3-1Ø or 1-3Ø) and power input from a 12 volt tap on the
controller’s control power transformer. To perform certain
monitoring and setup activities, a Hand-Held Communicator
(HHC) shown in Figure 1.2, is required. The SAMMS-LV device
is a multi-functional device offering the following:
• advanced motor protection for low voltage motors
• pre-programmed control circuits
• standardized control panel with input/output devices replac-
ing conventional push-buttons, pilot lights and selector
switches
• diagnostics
• statistical motor data
• real-time metering
• local display of all motor and control circuit data
• open architecture communications using the ACCESS sys-
tem
Note: The SAMMS-LV device does not replace the disconnect
device or the contactor itself.
