Caution Statements
Caution Statements cannot cover every potential cause of equipment damage but can highlight common causes of damage. It is the
installer's responsibility to read and understand all instructions in this manual prior to installing, operating or maintaining the equipment,
to follow good electrical practice including applying appropriate personal protective equipment and to seek advice before operating this
equipment in a manner other than as described in this manual.
NOTE
The ASA 4.0 Advanced is not user serviceable. The unit should only be serviced by authorised service personnel.
Unauthorised tampering with the unit will void the product warranty.
2.1
Electrical shock risk
WARNING
– ELECTRICAL SHOCK RISK
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may be lethal:
AC supply cables and connections
Output cables and connections
Many internal parts of the starter
SHORT CIRCUIT
The ASA 4.0 Advanced is not short circuit proof. After severe overload or short circuit, the operation of the ASA 4.0
Advanced should be fully tested by an authorised service agent.
GROUNDING AND BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTION
It is the responsibility of the user or person installing the ASA 4.0 Advanced to provide proper grounding and branch circuit
protection according to local electrical safety codes.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
The STOP function of the soft starter does not isolate dangerous voltages from the output of the starter. The soft
starter must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before accessing electrical connections.
Soft starter protection features apply to motor protection only. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safety of
personnel operating machinery.
The soft starter is a component designed for integration within an electrical system; it is therefore the responsibility
of the system designer/user to ensure the system is safe and designed to comply with relevant local safety
standards.
2.2
Unexpected Operation
WARNING – ACCIDENTAL STARTS
In some installations, accidental starts may pose an increased risk to safety of personnel or damage to the machines being
driven. In such cases, it is recommended that the power supply to the soft starter is fitted with an isolating switch and a
circuit-breaking device (eg power contactor) controllable through an external safety system (eg emergency stop, fault
detector).
WARNING – STARTER MAY START OR STOP UNEXPECTEDLY
The ASA 4.0 Advanced will respond to control commands from various sources, and could start or stop unexpectedly. Always
disconnect the soft starter from mains voltage before accessing the starter or load.
WARNING – DISCONNECT MAINS BEFORE ACCESSING STARTER OR LOAD
The soft starter has built-in protections which can trip the starter in the event of faults and thus stop the motor. Voltage
fluctuations, power cuts and motor jams may also cause the motor to trip.
The motor could restart after the causes of shutdown are rectified, which may be dangerous for personnel. Always
disconnect the soft starter from mains voltage before accessing the starter or load.
CAUTION – MECHANICAL DAMAGE FROM UNEXPECTED RESTART
The motor could restart after the causes of shutdown are rectified, which may be dangerous for certain machines or
installations. In such cases, it is essential that appropriate arrangements are made against restarting after unscheduled
stops of the motor.
