Notes:
(1)
It is important that the ASTAT-BP is properly grounded and that the control module is tightly fastened to
the power module.
(2) Use twisted shielded cable for the thermistor connection.
55..77 Remote Key-Pad Installation
Remote key pad cut out; Cable length is 1.5 meters
66.. STARTING PROCEDURE
Note:
It is necessary to connect a motor to load terminals; otherwise Shorted SCR or WRONG CONNECTION faults are
activated ( OC or Wrong CON.). Other loads such as incandescent light bulbs, resistors, etc. may also cause an OC
or Wrong CON. fault.
WARNING
1 When mains voltage is connected to the ASTAT-BP, even if control voltage is
disconnected, full voltage may appear on the ASTAT-BP load terminals.
Therefore, for isolation purposes, it is necessary to connect an isolating device
upstream to the ASTAT-BP.
2 Power factor correction capacitors must not be installed on the load side of the
ASTAT-BP. When required, install capacitors on the line side of the ASTAT-BP.
3 When using Inside Delta connection, wrong connection of the ASTAT-BP or the
motor may damage the motor; therefore please confirm that the motor is
connected properly!
4 Do not interchange line and load connections
5 Before starting the motor verify its rotation direction. If needed, disconnect the
rotor from the mechanical load and verify the correct direction of rotation.
6 Prior to start up procedure, make sure that line voltage and control voltage
match the ones shown on the name plate of the ASTAT-BP.
7 When the START signal is initiated and a motor is not connected to load
terminals, the SHORT SCR or WRONG CONNECTION (OC or Wrong CON.)
protection will be activated.
