TMS7 SERIES
QUICK START
For simple applications TMS7 soft starters can be installed using
the three simple steps outlined below. For applications with
advanced control, protection or interface requirements a
comprehensive review of this Users Manual is recommended.
1. Installation & Connection
WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
The TMS7 contains dangerous voltages when connected to
line voltage. Only a competent electrician should carry out
the electrical installation. Improper installation of the motor
or the TMS7 may cause equipment failure, serious injury or
death. Follow this manual and National Electrical Codes
(NEC
®
) and local safety codes.
1. Ensure the correct TMS7 model has been selected for the
connected motor and application type.
2. Mount the TMS7 making sure to allow adequate clearance
top and bottom for the free circulation of air through the
starter. (Refer to section 4.3 Mounting Instructions for further
detail.)
3. Connect the supply cables to starter input terminals L1, L2 &
L3.
4. Connect the motor cables to starter output terminals T1, T2
& T3.
5. Connect a control supply to starter input terminals A1 & A2
or A2 & A3. (Refer to section 6.2 Control Supply for further
detail).

2. Programming
Basic application requires only that the TMS7 be programmed
with the connected motor's nameplate full load current (FLC). To
program the TMS7 with the motor's FLC do the following:
1. Put the TMS7 into program mode by simultaneously
pressing then releasing the
<FUNCTION>
and
<STORE>
keys.
2. Select Function 1.
Motor Full Load Current
by holding
down the
<FUNCTION>
key and then press the
<UP>
key
until the display shows "1".
3. Release the
<FUNCTION>
key to display the currently
stored value of Function 1.
Motor Full Load Current
.
4. Use the
<UP>
and/or
<DOWN>
keys adjust the FLC
setting to match the FLC of the connected motor.
5. Press the
<STORE>
key to store the new FLC setting.
6. Exit the programming mode by simultaneously pressing
then releasing the
<FUNCTION>
and
<STORE>
keys.
3. Operation
The TMS7 is now ready to control the motor. Motor operation
can be controlled using the
<START>
and
<STOP>
keys on the
TMS7 local control panel. Two other commonly used functions
that may be useful for basic installations are Function 2.
Current
Limit
and Function 5.
Stop Ramp Time
. These functions can be
adjusted in the same manner as described above. (For a more
detailed description of the programming procedure refer to
section 7.1 Programming Procedure.)
