These two inputs are programmable. Can be assigned to the following internal functions:
- soft stop
- DC brake
- linear ramp
- pump control
- slow speed control
- dual ramp selection
- kick start
- reverse slow speed
- bypass function
- override
- local / remote control
Command signal should be provided by one NC dry contact to terminals 57-3 or terminals 57-4.
By switching this contact ON/OFF it is possible to enable or disable the assigned function.

Important: Use dry contacts only

Equipment installation
When installing equipment, keep the following points in mind:
!

The equipment should be installed vertically and should hang over a platform or bars. The vertical position is
essential for proper cool air circulation.

Environmental conditions are in accordance with the following ranges and maximum values:
- Operating temperature .................................................... 0 to +55C
- Relative humidity (without condensation) ................................ 95%
- Maximum altitude ................................................................ 3000 m.
Reduce usage intensity with 1.5% / C from 40C and 1% / 100 m. from 1000 m.

Do not install equipment in environments containing explosive or flammable gases, or near important heat
sources.

Equipment should be well ventilated, at least keeping clearance as indicated in illustration. (left)

When the equipment is to be removed on a platform subject to strong vibrations, there should be an elastic base
to protect the equipment.

Check Users Manual for additional information

DC1, is not required to
perform operation to the
motor. Be aware however
that DC1 provides galvanic
isolation from the incoming

by push-buttons.
Permanent command is
allowed as well, wiring 1, 2

accordingly.

The output relays allow for

direct action on contactors
according ratings specified.

applications. Use an external
overload protection if
required by local codes or to
protect the motor against

Slow speed for forward or reverse operation

using programmable inputs I3, I4.
Jog (slow speed) function:
The slow speed function is enabled by setting
Jxxx to I3.

(3) Suitable for use on a circuit

capable of delivering not more

amperes, for 208V, 240V and up
to 480V maximum, when used
with the semi-conductor fuse for
short-circuit protection. Listed
with Gould Shawmut Form 101,
type A5QS or A50P
(4) Suitable for use on a circuit
capable of delivering not more
than 65kA RMS symetrical
amperes, for 208V, 240V and up
to 480V maximum, when used
with contactors (isolation or bypass) that are also rated for 65kA
withstand.

Note: When ASTATplus reduced voltage starters are used in conjunction with semi-conductor fuses, type 2 coordination to IEC 60947-4 is attained. These fuses are recommended for
best overall short-circuit protection. The semiconductor fuse specified may provide branch circuit protection. Refer to local applicable electrical codes.
