AMPGARD RVSS
Reduced Voltage Soft-Starter
User Manual
9.5 Example starter configuration process
The RVSS can be configured using either the MUI or inControl.
Both the MUI and inControl have Startup Wizards and step-by-step
parameter configuration menus. If the RVSS setup only requires
motor data entry and basic system parameters, the Startup Wizards
make the RVSS setup quick and easy.
As it comes from the factory, the RVSS has been configured for the
project-specified motor and power system. During commissioning
it is wise to check the settings. Whenever the BCM is replaced, it
must be completely configured for the target application.
When the inControl application is used, a record copy of as-installed
settings must be made, for factory records. A configuration profile
file can be uploaded from the RVSS, exported through inControl, and
later downloaded to a new BCM if needed.
Configuring the RVSS includes
PRG
menu settings for
• power system parameters,
• control input wiring,
• motor characteristics,
• RVSS operational mode,
• start configuration,
• protections,
• Real Time Clock,
• communications,
• and user interface settings
