Operation

The Remote Operator performs all sort starter

functions except programming of the soft starter. The

Remote Operator can only be used to program its

own adjustable parameters.  Uploading and

downloading of the soft starter parameters is

achieved locally at the soft starter or through the serial

communications network if connected.

Start Pushbutton: Starts the motor.

Stop/+ Pushbutton: Stops the motor.

Reset/- Pushbutton: Resets the soft starter.

NB!:

Simultaneously pressing the Stop/+ and

Reset/- pushbuttons causes the soft starter to

immediately remove voltage from the motor resulting

in a coast to stop. Any soft stop settings are ignored.

Data/Prog Pushbutton: Selects the parameter to be

shown on the display (Motor Current or Motor

Temperature).

Status LEDs: Indicate the status of the starter, and of

the RS485 link between the Remote Operator and the

starter.

Display Mode: Denotes the parameter shown on the

display (Motor Current, Motor Temperature, Trip

Code).

Display: Indicates the value of the selected data.

NB!:

Motor Current and Motor Temperature

information is only available on MCD 3000

and MCD 202 starters.  If connected to a MCD 201

starter, the display will show 2222 instead of Motor

Current and 1.11 instead of Motor Temperature.

„

 

Trip Codes

If the soft starter trips, the relevant trip code is

displayed on the Remote Operator display.  The

CODE and TRIP LEDs are illuminated.  Some trip

codes are not available from all starter models – see

to the table below.

If the soft starter has an internal problem indicated by

a Code E (EEPROM Read/Write Failure) or Code U

(CPU Error) on its display, the soft starter will not

communicate with the Remote Operator.  The

Remote Operator display will show four dashes and

the RS485 LED will flash.
