Note:

When setting up a machine or during commissioning, it is possible to carry 
out 5 starts or braking operations in succession, i.e., with rated device 
current and at a braking time of 10s. After such operating conditions, 
however, the device needs a recovery time of 20 minutes.

Adjusting soft start

Turn potentiometer „M“ clockwise so far that, when pressing the ON-key, the motors starts 
immediately. In this connection, humming with the motor being at rest is to be avoided.

Adjust potentiometer „t“ so that the requested starting time or starting characteristic is reached.

Note:

To protect the power semiconductors and the motor from excessive heating, 
the starting time is to be kept as short as possible. At any rate, the motor 

must

 have reached its nominal speed before the bypass is activated 

(„bypass“-LED is illuminated).

Warning:

If the adjusted acceleration time is too short, the internal bypass contacts 
close 

before

 the motor has reached nominal speed. This can cause damage 

to the bypass relays.

Adjusting the braking current

The braking current is to be adjusted to a value as small as possible in order to avoid 
unnecessary heating of the power semiconductors and the motor. This is especially important in 
the case of high switching frequencies. We recommend to limit the maximum braking current to 
2.5 times the rated motor current.

The requested braking torque is to be adjusted with the potentiometer „I". It is important that the 
braking current does not exceed the rated device current which is indicated on the rating plate of 
the device.

Adjusting the braking time

It is not necessary to make an adjustment, since the braking current is automatically switched off 
approx. 1.5s after the motor has come to a standstill.

If during the maximum braking time (10s in the case of standard devices) no standstil is detected, 
the braking current will be switched off after this period of time. This is indicated by an opening of 
the fault signaling contact. The red „fault“-LED is illuminated. 

Caution: Danger to life through electric shock! 

Even if the motor is at rest, it is 

not

 physically separated from the mains.
