Avoiding soft starter damage
Please read and follow all instructions in this manual.
Additionally, take special note of the following:
1.
Do not connect power factor correction
capacitors to the soft starter output. Static power
factor correction, if used, must be connected on
the mains side of the soft starter.
Electrostatic Precaution: Electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Many electronic
components are sensitive to static
electricity. Voltages so low that they
cannot be felt, seen or heard, can reduce
the life, affect performance, or
completely destroy sensitive electronic
components. When performing service,
proper ESD equipment should be used
to prevent possible damage from
occurring.
