Single Phase Motor Energy Control - Page 4 of 20
1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the EnviroStart Single Phase Motor Energy Control. The system
has been designed with ease of use and set up in mind. The majority of applications will
operate effectively without the need to make any changes to the default settings however
should such changes be necessary please do read through this Installation and
Commissioning Guide so as to better understand the effects of the changes you are making,
be aware of the fact that changing things like start up pedestal voltage can impact the time it
takes for a motor to get to full speed as such controllable features are inter-related.
EnviroStart has also been designed to provide a long life; components have been selected
with reliability in mind and have generally been over-rated for the power of the unit
manufactured. Using the standard IQA, (Institute of Quality Assurance), methodologies the
expected lifetime of EnviroStart is rated at 100,000 hours continuous use, (eleven and a half
years),
