WARNING
Compact starter malfunction!
A compact starter malfunction will cause the compact starter to shut down. Continuing to
operate the compact starter is extremely risky, as it can no longer be considered reliable.
Following a shutdown caused by a malfunction, you will need to replace the compact
starter.
If the SIRIUS 3RA6 compact starter shuts down following a malfunction (e.g. end of service
life), you will need to replace it.
In order to achieve a safe system status for the purpose of replacing the compact starter,
you can continue operating the compact starter for a short time. For this purpose, you will
have to set the compact starter to "ready" again by turning the actuator to the OFF
position and then to the READY position.
Note
Following a malfunction (e.g. end of service life), the white display will be retained in the
"RLT 0%" display window and you will not be able to reset it. The compact starter must be
replaced.
