Chapter 7 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The soft starter is designed to be a maintenance-free product. However, as with all electronic equipment, the

unit should be checked periodically for dirt, moisture or industrial contaminants. These can cause high voltage

arc-over, carbon tracking or prevent proper cooling of the SCR heat sinks. All bolts should be checked annu-

ally for proper tightness using an accurate torque wrench. According to the manufacturer’s manual, check the

contactor for air gap spacing of the vacuum bottles.

Note: If the unit is installed in a contaminated environment and forced air cooling is used, blower

filters must be checked and cleaned regularly to insure proper air flow and cooling of the enclosure.

7.1 - Failure Analysis

When a fault occurs, the LCD will display the fault error and the listed LED and AUX Relay will be lit.

Please clear all faults before attempting to restart the unit. Note: If the problem persists after the

required programming changes have been made, and all corrective action has been taken, please

contact the factory for assistance.
