CAUTION
The motor data parameters are critical to the correct operation of the soft starter's thermal model, and to
the motor overload protection. Always set Pr 1A to suit the motor's characteristics. The default settings of
Pr 1B, 1C and 1D are suitable for most applications. Consult the motor datasheet before changing these
settings.
