7.1 Softstarter operational data
The information level is the top level of the user menu. Information about output
current, line voltage, power factor, and voltage to the motor is displayed.
On the information level the softstarter displays current values for:
1
Motor current (A)
2
Voltage to the motor (%)
Power factor /Cos
j
4
Input voltage on the line side (V)
The motor current is calculated as the maximum RMS value of the three phases.
Using the motor current displayed on Information level as input for setting of Cur-
rent Limit, may result in too low Current Limit. This may cause a longer starting
time and unnecessary heating of the motor.
7.2 Parameter
settings
Settings can be done in four different ways:
•
Keypad
•
Fieldbus communication (option)
•
External keypad (option)
With the keypad or external keypad, settings can be done as individual parameter
setting of all essential parameters.
When the fieldbus communication (option) is enabled, most parameters can also
be modified from this interface.
User default parameter set is stored in the unit for a possible reset to default val-
ues. See chapter 7.7.1 about resetting parameters to user default values.
