3. INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTALLATION
Site Preparation
General Before the installation of the RediStart Micro II, the site should be prepared. The
customer is responsible for:
• Providing the correct power source.
• Selecting the control mechanism.
• Providing the connection cables and associated hardware.
• Ensuring the installation site meets all environmental specifications for the
enclosure NEMA rating.
Connection Cables The connection cables for the starter must have the correct NEC/C.S.A. current rating
for the unit being installed. Depending upon the model, the connection cables can
range from a single #14 AWG conductor to four 750 MCM cables.
Site Requirements The installation site must adhere to the applicable starter NEMA rating. For optimal
performance, the installation site must meet the following specifications, unless
equipment (such as a heater or air conditioner) was added to the unit for operation
outside of these ranges:
• Temperature: 0°C (+32F) to 40°C (+104°F).
• Humidity: 20% to 95% non-condensing.
• Airways: Clearances are provided around all heat sinks.
• Altitude: Less than 3300 feet (1000 meters) above sea level.
NOTE: The starter rating must be derated 1% for every 330 feet (100 meters) above
3300 feet (1000 meters).
Mounting The starter must be mounted so the heat sink fins are vertically oriented in an area
that does not experience excessive shock or vibration. All models require airway
passages around the heat sink. During normal operation the heat sink may reach 194
degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Centigrade). Do not install the starter in direct
contact with any materials that cannot withstand these temperatures.

Grounding Connect a grounding conductor to the screw or terminal provided as standard on each
controller. Refer to layout/power wiring schematic for grounding provision location.
Wiring Wire in an industrial application can be divided into three groups: power control and
signal. The following recommendations for physical separation between these groups
are provided to reduce the coupling effect;
• Different wire groups should cross at 90 degrees inside an enclosure.
• Minimum spacing between different wiring groups in the same tray should be
six inches.
• Wire runs outside an enclosure should be run in conduit or have shielding/armor
with equivalent attenuation.
• Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
• Minimum spacing between conduits containing different wire groups should be
three inches (8cm).
Filtering To comply with Conducted Voltage Limits a 0.33 uF capacitor should be connected
between each incoming power line and ground at a point nearest to where the
incoming power enters the enclosure.

3.1 INSTALLATION
Installation Procedures
General Information Installation of some models may require halting production during installation. If
applicable, ensure that the starter is installed when production can be halted long
enough to accommodate the installation.
Before installing the starter, ensure:

• The wiring diagram (supplied separately with the starter) is correct for the
required application.
• The starter is the correct current rating for the motor being started.
• All of the installation safety precautions are followed.
• The correct power source is available.
• The starter control method has been selected.
• The necessary installation tools and supplies are obtained.
• The installation site meets all environmental specifications for the starter
NEMA/CEMA rating.
• The motor being started has been installed and is ready to be started.
• Any power factor correction capacitors (PFCC) are installed on the power source
side of the starter and not on the motor side.
NOTE: Failure to remove power factor correction or surge capacitors from the load
side of the starter will result in serious damage to the starter which will not be
covered by the starter’s warranty. The capacitors must be powered from the line side
of the starter. The up-to-speed contact can be used to energize the capacitors after the
motor has reached full speed.
Safety Precautions To ensure the safety of the individuals installing the starter, and the safe operation of
the starter, observe the following guidelines:
• Ensure that the installation site meets all of the required environmental
conditions (Refer to Site Preparation, page 16).
• LOCK OUT ALL SOURCES OF POWER.
• Install circuit disconnecting devices (i.e., circuit breaker, fused disconnect or
non-fused disconnect) if they were not previously installed by the factory as part
of the package.
• Install short circuit protection (i.e., circuit breaker or fuses) if not previously
installed by the factory as part of the package. See page 13 for the fault rating
table.
• Follow all NEC (National Electrical Code) and/or C.S.A. (Canadian Standards
Association) standards.
• Remove any foreign objects from the interior of the enclosure.
• Ensure that wiring is installed by an experienced electrician.
• Ensure that the individuals installing the starter have protective eye wear and
clothing.
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault
current has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, current carrying
parts and other components of the starter should be inspected and replaced if
damaged.

3.1 INSTALLATION
Installation To begin installation:

• Read and follow all of the installation safety precautions.
• Procure the necessary installation tools and any supplies.
• Ensure the site has sufficient lighting for safe installation.
• Move the starter to the installation site.
• Ensure that the starter is positioned so that the cabinet door has ample
clearance, and all of the controls are accessible.
• DO NOT install the starter in direct contact with any materials that cannot
withstand the maximum heat sink temperature of 194 degrees Fahrenheit (90
degrees Centigrade). All models require airway passages around the heat sink
for proper cooling.
If the starter is to be wall mounted:

• Mount the starter on the applicable surface using the appropriate hardware.
NOTE: Moving some models may require more than one individual or lifting
equipment (e.g., forklift, crane).

3.1 INSTALLATION
Power Wiring Thread the power and motor cables through a connector into the enclosure. Strip
away the motor cable insulation and apply anti-oxidation paste to the conductors.
Attach the motor cables:

• Use the T1, T2 and T3 lugs or terminals.
• Attach the power source cables:
• Use the L1, L2 and L3 lugs or terminals.
NOTE: For larger starters, thread each incoming power cable through its applicable
current transformer (CT); if not already supplied in the unit. The cables must be
threaded through the CTs in the same direction to insure proper operation (Refer to
the wiring diagram supplied with the starter).
The following is a list of the recommended crimp-on wire connectors manufactured by

Power Factor Capacitors Power factor correction capacitors and surge capacitors MUST NOT be connected
between the RediStart Micro II and the motor. These devices can damage the SCR’s in
the package during ramping. These devices appear like a short circuit to the SCR
when it turns on, which causes a di/dt level greater than the SCR can handle. If used,
power factor correction capacitors or surge capacitors must be connected ahead of the
RediStart Micro II. Programmable relay #2 (K6) can be set to an up-to-speed (UTS)
contact (up-to-speed is the default setting) and then used to pull-in a contactor to
connect the capacitors after the motor has reached full speed.
NOTE: The motor manufacturer should be contacted before surge capacitors are
removed from the motor terminal box.
Finishing After all of the safety precautions and installation procedures have been completed,
verify that the following settings are correct for the application:
• Current transformer scaling switches.
• Hardware deceleration/braking control (JPC3).
• RediStart Micro II computer card jumpers.

3.1 INSTALLATION
Preventative Maintenance
General Information Preventive maintenance performed on a regular basis will help ensure that the starter
continues to operate reliably and safely. The frequency of preventive maintenance
depends upon the type of maintenance and the installation site’s environment.
NOTE: Preventive maintenance should always be performed by a trained technician.
Preventive Maintenance During Commissioning;

• Torque all power connections during commissioning. This includes pre-wired
equipment.
• Check all of the control wiring in the package for loose connections.
For the first month after the starter has been put in operation;
• Re-torque all power connections every two weeks. This includes pre-wired
equipment.
• Inspect the cooling fans after two weeks to ensure proper operation.
After the first month of operation;
• Re-torque all power connections every year.
• Clean any accumulated dust from the starter using a clean source of compressed
air.
• Inspect the cooling fans every three months to ensure proper operation.
• Clean or replace any air vent filters on the starter every three months.
• NOTE: If mechanical vibrations are present at the installation site, inspect the
connections more frequently.
Remote RTD Module

General The RediStart Micro II can have up to 2 RTD modules installed. The RTD modules
can be installed in the cabinet with the RediStart Micro II or they can be installed
remotely at the motor. Refer to the Remote RTD Module manual for details on this
module.
MODBUS Master Card The MODBUS master card is installed on the RediStart Micro II CPU card to allow
the starter to communicate with the RTD Module.
CT Ratio Scaling
General Information The motor current signal scaling is set according to the motor current specified when
the starter is ordered. To ensure accurate operation, the motor current signal must be
correctly scaled for the motor current being controlled by the starter.Motor current
signal scaling may have to be changed if the motor size has been changed from the
original specification.Motor current signal scaling is accomplished by verifying the
current transformer ratio as supplied with the starter and then selecting the correct
DIP switch setting from the chart on the following page for the current transformer
ratio.
The DIP switches are:

• ON in the right position
• OFF in the left position
NOTE: Adjust the DIP switches only when the motor is stopped, or the switches
could be damaged.
21
3.1 INSTALLATION
Confirm Switch Settings To verify or change the motor current signal scaling:
• Compare the CT ratio stamped on each CT to the CT ratio listed on the wiring
diagram supplied with the starter to ensure the correct CTs are installed.
• Inspect the RediStart Micro II power card to ensure that the DIP switches are in
the correct positions for the applicable CT ratio and the motor full-load current
(FLA) rating.
Switch Settings CT Ratio Motor FLA Switch 1 Switch 2

288:1 3A to 9A Off Off
288:1 9A to 24A On Off

Manual Fault Reset 2-3
The automatic fault reset works in conjunction with the # auto resets parameter (see
page 73) and the Fault Classes sub-menu (see page 74).
The # auto resets parameter sets how many non-critical faults will be reset in one
hour. Once this number has been reached, the starter will not automatically reset the
next fault. When this occurs, the user should check the event recorder for the cause of
the faults and correct the problem.
The fault classes sub-menu allows the user to set faults as critical, non-critical,
disabled, warning relay A, warning relay B or warning relay C. When JPC19 is set to
automatic fault reset and a fault is set to non-critical, the RediStart Micro II will
automatically reset the fault.

Parameters
Parameter Usage The description and use of each parameter is described in the programming section of
the manual. Most parameters are fairly straightforward and don’t require any further
explanation. The rest of this chapter gives a more detailed description of the use of the
parameters that are more complicated to use.
Starter Modes
Description The Starter Mode sub menu (see page 49) contains parameters for selecting the type
of start and stop to perform. By allowing the user to select the start and stop mode the
system can be operated in the optimal start and stop fashion for the load. Below are
the available modes along with some examples for typical applications.
Start Modes Curr (Current Ramp): The current ramp is ideal for most general-purpose motor
control applications; Examples: crushers, ball mills, compressors, saws, and
centrifuges).
The Current Ramp applies to the following in the Starter Setup Main Menu:
Forward1 Profile, Forward2 Profile, Reverse1 Profile, and Reverse2 Profile.
TT (Tru Torque): The true torque ramp is suitable for applications that require a
minimum of torque transients during starting or for consistenly loaded applications
that require a reduction of torque surges during starting; Examples: pumps, fans, and
belt driven equipment).
The Tru Torque ramp applies to the following in the Starter Setup Main Menu:
True Torque Ramp
Tach (Tachometer Feedback): The tachometer feedback ramp is for applications

where torque transients must be held to a minimum, and the starting load is
unknown, vary, or change during the start cycle; Examples: Belts, and conveyors.
The Tachometer ramp applies to the following in the Starter Setup Main Menu:
Tachometer Setup
Stop Modes Coas (Coast): A coast stop should be used when no special stopping requirements are
necessary; Example: crushers, balls mills, centrifuges, belts, conveyor.
There is no menu that applies in the Starter Setup Main Menu.
VDCL (S Curve Voltage Deceleration): A standard open loop S-Curve voltage

deceleration is best suited for applications such as pumps and compressors.
The S Curve Voltage Deceleration applies to the following in the Starter Setup Main
Menu: Decel Setup
TT (Tru Torque): The true torque deceleration is best suited to pumping and
compressor applications where pressure surges during a stop must be eliminated.
This setup is easier than the S-Curve Voltage Deceleration and is less source voltage
dependent.
The Tru Torque deceleration applies to the following in the Starter Setup Main Menu:
True Torque Ramp
31
4.1 OPERATION
Current Ramp Adjustment

Current Ramp The current ramp sets how the motor accelerates. The current ramp is a linear
increase in current from the initial setting to the maximum setting. The ramp time
sets the speed of this linear current increase. The following figure shows the
relationships of these different ramp settings.
Current
(% of FLA)
Maximum
Current
Kick

Time
Time
0
0 Kick Ramp Up To
(Seconds)
Time Time Speed
Initial Current Setting The initial current should be set to the level that allows the motor to begin rotating
within a couple of seconds of receiving a start command.
To adjust the initial current setting give the starter a run command. Observe the
motor to see how long it takes before it begins rotating and then stop the unit. For
every second that the motor doesn’t rotate, increase the initial current by 20%.
Typical loads will require an initial current in the 50% to 175% range.
Maximum Current Setting For most applications, the maximum current can be left at 600%. This will ensure
that enough current is applied to the motor to accelerate it to full speed.
The maximum current can also be set to a lower current limit. This is usually done to
limit the voltage drop on the power system or to limit the torque the motor produces
to help prevent damage to the driven load.
NOTE: The motor may achieve full speed at any time during the current ramp. This
means that the maximum current setting may not be reached. Therefore, the
maximum current setting is the most current that could ever reach the motor, and not
necessarily the maximum current that will reach the motor.
NOTE: When setting a current limit, the motor must be monitored to ensure that the
current is high enough to allow the motor to reach full speed under worst case load
conditions.
32
4.1 OPERATION
Ramp Time Setting The ramp time is the time it takes for the current to go from the initial current to the
maximum current. To make the motor accelerate faster, decrease the ramp time. To
make the motor accelerate slower, increase the ramp time.
If the ramp time expires before the motor reaches full speed, the starter will maintain
the set maximum current level until either the motor reaches full speed, the stall time
expires, or the motor thermal overload trips.
NOTE: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the
motor will take this time to accelerate to full speed. The motor and load may achieve
full speed before the ramp time expires if the application does not require the set
ramp time and maximum current to reach full speed. Alternatively, the motor and
load may take longer than the set ramp time to achieve full speed.
Programming A Kick Current

General The kick current sets a current level that overrides the current ramp when a start is
first commanded. The kick current is only useful on motor loads that are hard to get
rotating but then are much easier to move once they are rotating. An example of a
load which is hard to get rotating is a ball mill. The ball mill requires a high torque to
get it to rotate the first quarter turn (90o). Once the ball mill is past 90o of rotation,
the material inside will begin tumbling and it is easier to turn.
Kick Current The kick current parameter is usually set to a low value and then the kick time is
adjusted to get the motor rotating. If the kick time is set to more than 2.0 seconds
without the motor rotating, increase the kick current by 100% and re-adjust the kick
time.
Kick Time The kick time adjustment should begin at 0.5 seconds and be adjusted by 0.1 or 0.2
second intervals until the motor begins rotating. If the kick time is adjusted above 2.0
seconds without the motor rotating, start over with a higher kick current setting.
Tachometer Feedback
Description The Tachometer control ramp profile (see page 54)provides a method to linearly ramp
the speed of the system. When this control mode is selected, the starter uses a
tachometer to provide speed feedback to the starter. This mode is commonly used on
conveyor belt applications where a smooth controlled start is necessary under various
load conditions to prevent belt breakage, lifting, or excessive stretching. The
Tachometer controller consists of an inner PID current loop and an outer PI speed
control loop.
NOTE: The maximum current limit will override the speed control loop if necessary.
If the Maximum Current level is not set high enough or the load is too great, the
RediStart Micro II starter will limit the motor current to this maximum level. When
current limiting occurs, the speed profile will no longer be linear and the motor(s) will
take longer to accelerate to full speed. Therefore, if current limiting is undesirable,
this parameter must be set higher than the peak starting current during a linear
speed ramp start.
Tachometer Requirements In addition to the basic motor and starter setup variables, the following needs to done
to use the tachometer feedback control ramp:
1. Connect a tachometer with appropriate DC output voltage and correct polarity to

the Redistart Micro II power card input (terminal TBP13).
2. The tachometer feedback Start Mode is selectable as “Tach” from the Starter Modes
menu.

Programming The Motor Deceleration

Deceleration Control The standard deceleration control on the RediStart Micro II uses an open loop voltage
ramp. The RediStart Micro II will ramp the voltage down to decelerate the motor. The
curve shows the motor voltage vs the decel setting.

Programmed Decel Level (%)
Decel Level 1 This sets the starting voltage of the deceleration ramp. Most motors require the
voltage to drop to around 60% or lower before any significant deceleration is observed.
Therefore, a good first setting for this parameter is 35%.
To adjust this parameter, it is necessary to observe the motor operation as soon as a

stop is commanded. If the motor hunts (speed oscillations) at the beginning of the
deceleration, then lower the parameter by 5%. If the motor has a big drop in speed as
soon as a stop is commanded, then raise the parameter by 5%.
Some motors are very sensitive to the adjustment of this parameter. If a 5%

adjustment changes the motor from hunting to dropping in speed, then a smaller
change of 1% or 2% may be necessary.
Decel Level 2 This sets the final voltage for the deceleration ramp. In most cases, this parameter
can be set to 10% and the decel time can be used to adjust the deceleration rate. If the
motor is coming to a stop too quickly or if the starter continues to apply current to the
motor after the motor has stopped, this parameter can be increased in 5% increments
to fix this.
Decel Time The decel time sets how quicky the motor decelerates. Usually a time of 30 seconds is
a good starting point. To make the motor take longer to decelerate, increase this
parameter or to make the motor decelerate quicker, decrease this parameter.

4.1 OPERATION
PORT (Power Outage Ride Through)

Description The Power Outage Ride Through capability (see page 58)allows the starter to ride
through short duration brown outs, single phase, and power loss conditions.
When the system senses a voltage disturbance in a time frame greater than the Sense
Time parameter, the power will be removed from the motor for a coast to stop, and the
Fault Dly timer will begin to time; if it is not set to OFF.
If the power disturbance ends before the programmed Fault Dly time, the motor will
restart -- if a start command is still present -- from initial to maximum current in the
specified ramp time.
If the outage lasts longer than the programmed Fault Dly time, the starter will issue
a Fault 98; “No Mains PWR.”
If Fault Dly is set to OFF, the starter will use the standard motor protection fault
delay timers to sense power disturbances.
NOTE: Starts/Hou (starters per hour), Time Start (time between starts), and BKS
Timer (backspin timer) are not incremented for PORT.
NOTE: If the system Start Mode parameter is programmed with a tachometer ramp,
the system will restart using a tachometer ramp.
Bypass Delay PORT can also hold a bypass contactor in for a programmed BYP Dly when the power
disturbance is Sensed.
NOTE: The BYP Dly is fixed at 0.0 seconds to protect systems that contain an
integral bypass card.
NOTE: Caution must be taken when the BYP Dly is set above 0.0 seconds. If the
bypass contactor is energized when the power disturbance ends, the motor will start
across the line. The resulting torque may damage the system.
PORT Detection The starter can be detected in PORT operation by monitor of the PORT relay output;
Selectable on any of the programmable relays. Once programmed, this relay can be
used to feed 120VAC to input 9 of the JC13 terminal block on the computer card. This
causes the system to use the Forward/Reverse2 Profile for starting the motor.
TruTorque Acceleration Ramp

TruTorque Ramp The TruTorque ramp sub-menu (see page 59) contains the parameters that that are
used to activate and tune TruTorque Acceleration and Deceleration Control.
The primary purpose of TruTorque Control is to reduce the torque surge that occurs
as an AC induction motor comes up to full speed. This torque surge can be a problem
in applications especially in pumps and belt driven applications. In pumping
applications this torque surge results in a pressure peak as the motor comes up to
speed. In most situations this small pressure peak is not a problem. However in
selected cases, even a small pressure peak can be highly undesirable. In belt drive
applications, TruTorque prevents the slipping of belts as the motor reaches full speed.
Note: When TruTorque acceleration control is enabled the second ramp (Ramp #2)
and Kick Current functions are disabled.
TruTorque control can be very useful for a variety of applications. However it is best
used for pump and other variable torque applications. TruTorque generally should not
be used in applications where the starting load varies greatly from one start to
another.
35
4.1 OPERATION
Initial Torque This value sets the initial torque value for the motor. The initial torque level should
be set to a level that allows the motor to begin rotating within a couple of seconds of
receiving a start command. Typical loads will require values between 10% to 30%
If the value is set too high a current surge may result. If the value is set too low a “No
current at Run” fault may occur.
Maximum Torque This value sets the final torque reference value at the end of the ramp time. Typical
loads require a value around 100-110%. If the load is less than motor rating then the
maximum torque value can be decreased. If the load is hard to start or the motor is a
NEMA C or D type motor then this value may need to be increased.
If the motor reaches full speed too quickly then decrease the Maximum Torque value
by 5% and retest. If the motor does not achieve full speed, increase the Maximum
Torque value by 10% and retest.
If the motor can be started either by using default TruTorque values or current ramp
control, the Maximum Torque value can be more precisely determined so that the
motor comes up to speed in approximately the preset Ramp Time. In this case, while
the motor is running at full load, display the TT% meter on the display (see Meter
Setup for information on how to display the TT% meter). Record the value displayed
when the motor is running with full load. The Maximum Torque value should then be
set to the recorded running value of TT% plus an additional 10%. Retest with this
value to verify correct operation.
Note: When setting the Maximum Torque value the motor must be monitored to
ensure that the torque is high enough to allow the motor to reach full speed under
worst case load conditions.
Ramp Time The Ramp Time setting is the time it takes for the torque to go from the Initial Torque
Setting to the Maximum Torque Setting. To make the motor accelerate faster,
decrease the ramp time. To make the motor accelerate slower, increase the ramp time.
If the ramp time expires before the motor reaches full speed the starter will maintain
the set Maximum Torque level until either the motor reaches full speed, the stall
(UTS) timer expires, or the motor thermal overload trips.
Note: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the
ramp time and maximum torque to reach full speed. Alternatively, the motor and load
may take longer than the set ramp time to achieve full speed.
TruTorque Deceleration Ramp

General The TruTorque ramp sub-menu (see page 59) contains the parameters that activate
TruTorque Acceleration and Deceleration Control.
TruTorque deceleration is a closed-loop deceleration control. The RediStart MicroII

will ramp down the torque to smoothly decelerate the motor. TruTorque deceleration
is very simple to setup.
TruTorque Decel Mode As a default deceleration control will be an open-loop voltage ramp. TruTorque Decel
Mode needs to be turned on to utilize TruTorque deceleration control. When
TruTorque deceleration is enabled the TruTorque deceleration settings listed below
will be used for deceleration control.
36
4.1 OPERATION
TT End Decel Torque The value sets the final torque level for the TruTorque deceleration ramp. In most
cases, this parameter can be set to 10%.
To adjust this parameter, it is necessary to observe the motor. If the motor is coming
to a stop too quickly or if the starter continues to apply current to the motor after the
motor has stopped this parameter can be increased in 5% increments.
If the motor is still rotating when the desired deceleration time has expired, decrease
this parameter by 5% and retest.
TT Decel Ramp Time The TruTorque deceleration time sets how quickly the motor decelerates. Usually a
time of 30 seconds is a good starting point. To make the motor decelerate at a slower
rate increase this time or to make the motor stop quicker decrease this time.
How Fault Classes Work

General The Fault classes sub-menu (see page 74) allows the starter behavior for different
faults to be altered. There are six different options that a fault can be set to. These
options are described in the following paragraphs. See page 98 for a complete fault
code and description listing.
NonC Non-critical fault. If this fault occurs, the starter will shut down and display the fault
number and description on the display. A non-critical fault can be set to either require
a manual reset or to automatically reset.
The automatic resetting of a non-critical fault is dependant on the automatic

computer reset jumper JPC19 (see page 23). WhenJPC19 is set to auto reset (position
1-2), the starter will automatically reset the fault. The number of automatic resets
parameter (# Auto RST) on page 73 sets how many times the starter will perform this
automatic reset sequence in one hour.
Crit Critical fault. If this fault occurs, the starter will shut down and display the fault
number and description on the display. To clear the fault, the computer reset button
must be pressed or the control power to the starter cycled.
Dis Fault is Disabled. If this fault occurs, the starter will ignore the fault and continue to
operate.
WrnA Fault warning relay A. If this fault occurs, the starter will continue to operate. If a
programmable relay is programmed to WrnA, that relay will be energized when the
fault occurs. The WrnA relay can be assigned to as many different faults as the user
requires.
WrnB Fault warning relay B. If this fault occurs, the starter will continue to operate. If a
programmable relay is programmed to WrnB, that relay will be energized when the
fault occurs. The WrnB relay can be assigned to as many different faults as the user
requires.
WrnC Fault warning relay C. If this fault occurs, the starter will continue to operate. If a
programmable relay is programmed to WrnC, that relay will be energized when the
fault occurs. The WrnC relay can be assigned to as many different faults as the user
requires.
37
4.1 OPERATION
Use of Overcurrent and Undercurrent

General For the over current and undercurrent trips, there are settings for the current level
and the detect time. The motor current must go above or below the current level
settings for the detect time before the overcurrent or undercurrent condition is
detected. The overcurrent and undercurrent trips do not become active until the
starter is up-to-speed (UTS is shown in top line of display).
Overcurrent The overcurrent parameters are for the user to set a user defined high current trip.
The overcurrent parameters are not used for the thermal overload. If the driven load
can be damaged by the full motor torque being applied during a stall or jam of the
driven load, the over-current should be used to prevent this.
Undercurrent The undercurrent parameters are used to set a user defined low current trip. The
undercurrent parameters are used to protect a driven load from running empty. A
good example of the undercurrent trip usage is a water pump. If the pump can run
dry, the undercurrent parameters can be set to detect the low current and shut the
pump down. To use this, the current could be set to 50% and the detect delay to 5
seconds to shut the pump down 5 seconds after the current falls below 50% of the
motor FLA parameter.
Activating a Relay To make the starter activate a relay when an overcorrect or undercurrent is detected,
a programmable relay must be programmed to OCT or UCT respectively.
Tripping vs Running As the default, the starter will trip when an over-current or undercurrent is detected.
To keep the starter operating, the over-current fault (fault #78) or undercurrent fault
(fault #79) must be set to dis (disabled) in the fault classes sub-menu (see page 74) to
turn off the fault trip.
Once the over-current or undercurrent fault is disabled, the starter will not trip when
the over-current or undercurrent condition is detected, The relay programmed to OCT
or UCT will still operate when the condition is detected. Once the condition clears, the
relay will remain active for the programmed release delay time. The user must
monitor the relay output and take appropriate action when the relay is energized.
Overload
General The RediStart Micro II comes with a programmable overload that allows classes 1-40
to be programmed plus an overload disable and overload bypass during starting. The
thermal overload is displayed as a percentage of overload used, with 0% representing
a “cold” overload and 100% representing a “tripped” overload. The overload always
operates on the highest phase current.
Overload Classes The overload class sets the time it takes for the overload to trip when the motor
current is six (6) times the motor FLA. The overload follows an exponential curve that
gives a long trip time for slight overloads and a short trip time for large overloads.
This models the heating of a typical squirrel cage induction motor. See page 11 for the
motor thermal overload curves.
38
4.1 OPERATION
Overload Operation There are two ways that the overload can operate. The operation is changed in the
fault classes sub-menu by changing the overload lock fault (fault #90) from Crit to Dis.
When fault #90 is set to Crit;

• The overload warning relay will energize when the O/L content goes above 90%
and de-energize when the O/L content goes back below 80%.
• The starter will shut down if the overload content reaches 100%.
• The overload lock relay will energize when the O/L content reaches 100% and
de-energize when the O/L content goes back below 60%.
• The starter will not allow an overload reset once the overload trips until the
overload content goes back below 60%.
• The overload relay will energize when the overload trips and will de-energize
when the overload condition is cleared by an automatic or manual reset.
When fault #90 is set to Dis;

• The overload warning relay will energize if the overload content goes above 90%
and will de-energize when the overload content goes back below 80%.
• The starter will not shut if the overload content reaches 100%.
• The overload lock relay will never energize.
• The overload relay will energize when the overload content goes above 100% and
will de-energize when the overload content goes back below 100%.

Running Overload When the RediStart Micro II is running the overload content will never discharge
below 30%. The overload content will always hold at any value below 30% during the
running period. As soon as the unit is stopped the overload will begin to discharge
back to 0%.
39
4.1 OPERATION
Resolving Overload Trips The National Electrical Code, article 430 Part C, allows for different overload
multiplier factors depending on the motor and operating conditions.
NEC section 430-32 outlines the allowable service factor (Serv. Fact) for different
motors as follows:
Motor Overload Multiplier

Service factor 1.15 or more 1.25
Motor temp. rise 40°C or less 1.25
All others 1.15
NEC section 430-34 permits further modifications if the service factor (Serv. Fact) is
not sufficient to start the motor:
Motor Overload Multiplier

Service factor 1.15 or more 1.40
Motor temp. rise 40°C or less 1.40
All others 1.30
Although the NEC doesn’t address the effect of the ambient temperature of the motor
location, guidance can be derived by examining NEC limits. If the motor is operating
in an ambient temperature that is less than 40°C, then the overload multiplier can be
increased while still protecting the motor from exceeding it maximum designed
temperature. The following curve gives the ambient temperature vs the correction
factor.
Temperature vs Correction Factor
100
80
Temperature
60
40
20
0 0.50 1.00 1.50

Correction Factor
Example: If a motor operates at 0°C then a 1.36 correction factor could be applied to
the overload multiplier. This could give a theoretical overload multiplier of 1.36 x 1.25
or 1.70. The highest legal value of overload multiplier is 1.40 so this could be used.
Performing an Emergency Restart

General The RediStart Micro II has an emergency restart feature which allows the user to
override any lock-outs that are present. This feature should only be used in an
emergency. Before an emergency reset is performed, the reason for the lock-out and
the condition of the motor should be examined to ensure that the motor is capable of
being re-started without causing any damage.
Performing a Reset Place a jumper between pins 6 and 11 of JC11 on the computer card. Hold the Enter
button on the display and press the thermal overload reset pushbutton until a
microprocessor reset occurs.

5.2 PROGRAMMING: Quick Start
Motor FLA
Parameter Description The motor FLA parameter must be set to the full load amps of the motor connected to
the starter for the starter to function correctly. If there is more than one motor
connected, the motor FLA should be set to the sum of the connected motor full load
amps.
NOTE: The starter uses the entered motor FLA for every current based calculation. If
the motor FLA is not entered correctly, the current ramp profile and many of the
starter’s advanced protection features will not function properly.
Parameter Values The motor FLA parameter is adjustable from 1 to 1200 amps in 1 amp increments.
Parameter Default The default value for the motor FLA is 1 amp.
Serv. Fact (service factor)

Description The service factor parameter should be set to the service factor of the motor. The
service factor is used for the overload calculations. If the service factor of the motor is
not known then the service factor should be set to 1.00. See the motor overload
parameter on page 11 for a detailed description on how to set the service factor for
different applications to avoid overload trips.
Values The service factor can be set from 1.00 to 1.99, in 0.01 increments.
NOTE: The NEC (National Electrical Code) does not allow the service factor to be set
above 1.40. Check with other local electrical codes for their requirements.
Default The default value for the service factor is 1.15.
Start Mode
Description The Start Mode parameter allows for an optimal start of the motor based on the
application. For a description of the possible Start Mode parameters, refer to page 31
in the Operations chapter.
Values The Start Mode Parameter can be set to Curr, TT, or Tach.
Default The default value for the Start Mode is Curr.
Stop Mode
Description The Stop Mode parameter allows for the most suitable stop of the motor based on the
application. For a description of the possible Stop Mode parameters, refer to page 31
Values The Stop Mode can be set to Coas, VDCL, or TT.
Default The default value for the Stop Mode is Coas.
45
Int. Curr. (initial current)

Description The initial current parameter is set as a percentage of the motor FLA parameter
setting. The initial current parameter sets the current that will initially reach the
motor when a start is commanded.
If the motor does not rotate within a few seconds after a start command, the initial
current should be increased. If the motor takes off too quickly after a start command,
the initial current should be decreased.
The initial current must be set to a value that is lower than the maximum current
parameter setting.
A typical setting for the initial current parameter is from 50% to 175%.
Values The initial current is adjustable from 50% to 400% in 1% intervals.
Default The default value for the initial current is 100%.
Max. Curr. (maximum current)

Description The maximum current parameter is set as a percentage of the motor FLA parameter
setting. The maximum current parameter performs two functions. It sets the current
for the end of the ramp profile. It also sets the maximum current that is allowed to
reach the motor while the motor is being started.
If the ramp time expires before the motor has reached full speed, the starter will hold
the current at the maximum current level until the stall time expires, the motor
reaches full speed, or the overload trips.
Typically, the maximum current is set to 600% unless the power system or load
dictates the setting of a lower maximum current.
Values The maximum current is adjustable from 100% to 600% in 1% intervals.
Default The default value for the maximum current is 600%.
Ramp Time
Description The ramp time sets the amount of time that it takes for the starter to linearly
increase the current from the initial current level to the maximum current level.
A typical ramp time setting is from 15 to 30 seconds.
Settings The ramp time is adjustable from 0 to 120 seconds in 1 second intervals.
Default The default value for the ramp time is 15 seconds.
46
Overload
Description The overload parameter sets the class of the electronic overload. The starter stores the
thermal overload value as a percentage value between 0 and 100%, with 0%
representing a “cold” overload and 100% representing a tripped overload. See page 11
for the overload trip time vs current curves.
Values Class 1 to 40 in steps of 1.
Default The default value for the overload parameter is 10.
Phase Order
Description The line phasing parameter sets the phase sensitivity of the starter. This can be used
to protect the motor from a possible change in the incoming phase sequence. If the
incoming phase sequence does not match the set phase rotation, the starter will
display phs err while stopped and will fault if a start is attempted.
Values The line phasing can be set to;

• INS - will run with either phase sequence
• ABC - will only run with ABC phase sequence
• CBA - will only run with CBA phase sequence
Default The default value for the phase sensitivity parameter is INS.
47
5.3 PROGRAMMING: Motor Nameplate
Motor FLA
Description The motor FLA parameter must be set to the full load amps of the motor connected to
the starter for the starter to function correctly. If there is more than one motor
connected, the motor FLA should be set to the sum of the connected motor full load
amps.
NOTE: The starter uses the entered motor FLA for every current based calculation. If
the motor FLA is not entered correctly, the current ramp profile and many of the
starter’s advanced protection features will not function properly.
Values The motor FLA parameter is adjustable from 1 to 1200 amps in 1 amp increments.
Default The default value for the motor FLA is 1 amp.
Serv. Fact (service factor)

Description The service factor parameter should be set to the service factor of the motor. The
service factor is used for the overload calculations. If the service factor of the motor is
not known then the service factor should be set to 1.00. See the motor overload
parameter on page 11 for a detailed description on how to set the service factor for
different applications to avoid overload trips.
Values The service factor can be set from 1.00 to 1.99, in 0.01 increments.
NOTE: The NEC (National Electrical Code) does not allow the service factor to be set
above 1.40. Check with other local electrical codes for their requirements.
Default The default value for the service factor is 1.15.
Motor RPMs
Description The Motor RPMs can be set to match the RPM rating of the motor.
Values The Motor RPMs can be set from 1 to 3600 RPM’s in increments of 1.
Default The default value for the Motor RPMs is 1760.
48
5.4 PROGRAMMING: Starter Setup - Starter Modes

Kick Curr. (kick current)

Description The kick current parameter is set as a percentage of the motor FLA parameter
setting. The kick current sets a current level that overrides the current ramp profile,
for the set kick time, when a start is commanded. If a kick time is programmed, the
starter will provide the current level specified by the kick current setting for this set
time. This current can be used to overcome the break over torque of some loads, while
still allowing the starter to smoothly accelerate the load to full speed.
Values The kick current is adjustable from 100% to 600% in 1% increments.
Default The default value for the kick current is 300%.
Kick Time
Description The kick time parameter sets the amount of time that the kick current level is
provided to the motor when a start is commanded.
If the kick time is set to any time other than Off, the starter will provide the kick
current level for the set time. The kick time should be increased or decreased to reach
the time required to begin rotating the load.
Values The kick time is adjustable from 0.1 to 10.0 seconds in 0.1 second intervals. If a kick
current is not required, the kick time should be set to Off.
Default The default value for the kick time is Off.

Kick Curr. (kick current)

Description The kick current parameter is set as a percentage of the motor FLA parameter
setting. The kick current sets a current level that overrides the current ramp profile,
for the set kick time, when a start is commanded. If a kick time is programmed, the
starter will provide the current level specified by the kick current setting for this set

5.7 PROGRAMMING: Starter Setup - Tachometer Setup
FS Volts (Full Speed Volts)

Description The FS Volts parameter sets the tachometer input voltage at full speed. This value
should be set at full (unloaded) motor speed.
For example: A tachometer rated at 0.0033 volts-per-rpm is mounted on a 4-pole 1800

rpm motor. Therefore, the FS Volts should be set to: 0.0033 x 1800 = 5.94 volts.
Values The tachometer FS Volts value can be set between 1.00 and 7.00 volts in 0.01
increments.
Default The default value for the tachometer FS Volts value is 5.00 volts.
Stab Cnst (Stability Constant)

Description The Stab Cnst parameter is used to control the speed and bandwidth of the of the
speed controller.
NOTE: Lower values slow down the controller’s response,which is useful if the system
has a large inertia and/or low stiffness. Higher values will speed up the controler’s
response, which can be useful if the more precise speed control is necessary. If the
stability constant is set too low, the starter will not track the speed reference properly
and the motor speed profile will not be linear.

initial current parameter to a value that allows the motor to begin rotating soon after
a start is commanded.
Values The TLoss Delay time parameter is adjustable from 0.1 seconds to 90.0 seconds in 0.1
second intervals.
Default The default value for the TLoss Delay time is 1.5 seconds.
TLoss Mode (Tachometer Signal Loss Mode)

Description The TLoss Mode determines the starter’s action if it has been detected the tachometer
signal is lost.
NOTE: If Current ramp or TruTorque ramp is selected, all values within these ramp
profiles must be set for proper operation.
NOTE: If Current ramp or TruTorque ramp is selected, and the tachometer signal is
lost, the starter will shut down and automatically restart with the new starting mode.
The new start mode will apply until a manual reset to Tach is performed.

value. If there is a sudden drop in motor speed when a stop is commanded, increase
this parameter value.
A typical decel level #1 setting is between 30% and 40%.

V Level #2
Description The V Level #2 parameter sets the ending voltage for the voltage ramp profile. Decel
level #2 can not be set greater than decel level #1.
The deceleration profile uses an open loop voltage ramp profile. The decel level #2
parameter sets the ending point on the S curve. This means that decel level #2 is not
set as a percentage of actual line voltage.
If the motor stops rotating before the deceleration time has expired, increase this
parameter value. If the motor is still rotating when the deceleration time has expired,
decrease this parameter value. A typical decel level #2 setting is between 10% and
20%.
Values The decel level #2 parameter is adjustable from 1% to 99% in 1% increments. The

acceleration with a few seconds of a start command being received.
Values The initial torque is adjustable from 1% to 100% in 1% increments.
Default The default value for initial torque is 20%.
Max Torque (maximum torque)

Description The maximum torque parameter sets the final level of torque that is supplied to the
motor during starting. For a loaded motor, the maximum torque parameter initially
should be set to 100% or greater. If the maximum torque value is set too low, the
motor may not produce enough torque to reach full speed (UTS). On a lightly loaded
motor this parameter may be reduced below 100% to provide for smoother starts.

Default The default value for the maximum torque parameter is 105%.
Ramp Time
Description The ramp time parameter sets the time it takes for the commanded torque to go from
the Initial Torque Setting to the Maximum Torque Setting. To make the motor
accelerate faster, decrease the ramp time. To make the motor accelerate slower,
increase the ramp time.
If the ramp time expires before the motor reaches full speed the starter will maintain
the set Maximum Torque level until either the motor reaches full speed, the stall
(UTS) timer expires, or the motor thermal overload trips.
Note: This ramp time setting is only used for TruTorque starts. It is not the same
ramp time parameter that is used for current ramp profile starts.
Note: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the
ramp time and maximum torque to reach full speed. Alternatively, the motor and load
may take longer than the set ramp time to achieve full speed.
Values The TruTorque ramp time is adjustable from 0 to 120 seconds in 1 second intervals.
Default The default value for the TruTorque ramp time is 15 seconds.
59
5.10 PROGRAMMING: Starter Setup - TruTorque Ramp
TT Over Cu (TruTorque overcurrent trip)

Description The TruTorque overcurrent trip parameter is set as a percentage of FLA. If the motor
current remains above this level for longer than the delay time the starter will trip. In
order to protect applications such as pumps from water hammer when a fault does
occur a normal deceleration profile will occur to "gracefully" shut down the system
before the TruTorque Overcurrent Fault is displayed and the starter is disabled.
Note: The TruTorque Overcurrent Trip only operates during TruTorque ramping
before the starter has indicated an up-to-speed condition. If overcurrent protection is
desired after the motor has come up to speed the Over Current parameter under the
Motor Protection menu must be used.

Values Class 1 to 40 in steps of 1.
Default The default value for the overload parameter is 10.
61
5.12 PROGRAMMING: Motor Protection - Line Current
% Imbalanc (percent imbalance)

Description The percent imbalance parameter sets the allowable phase to average current
difference that is allowed before the starter will shut down. The current imbalance
must exist for the amount of time set by the imbalance delay time before this will
occur.
The current imbalance for each phase is calculated as the percentage difference
between the phase current and the average current. The equation for the current
imbalance is;
Iave − Iphase
% imbalance = ×100%

If the highest calculated current imbalance is greater than the current imbalance
level, the starter will shut down the motor and display a fault 23 to fault 28
depending on the phase that has the out of range current.

voltage parameter (see page 48) or automatically selected according to the following
list;
208VAC if average line voltage is between 180VAC and 224VAC.
The base voltage (Vbase) used for the calculations is selected by setting jumpers JPC17
and JPC18 on the RediStart Micro computer card. Refer to the jumper settings on
page for information on setting these parameters.
The line voltage must be out of the specified range for the time specified by the delay
time parameter before the starter will trip.
Values The high/low voltage is adjustable from 10 to 30% in 1% increments.
Default The default value for the high/low voltage parameter is 20%.
Delay Time
Description The delay time parameter sets the time that the line voltage must go outside of the
voltage range set by the high/low voltage parameter before a high or low voltage trip
will occur.
This parameter may be lengthened to allow for temporary voltage fluctuations outside
of the allowable voltage range. If the time is extended, the control voltage must be
monitored to ensure it remains within acceptable limits. If the control voltage is
fluctuating, an un-interruptible power supply should be used.
Values The voltage delay parameter is adjustable from 0.1 to 3.0 seconds in 0.1 second
intervals.
Default The default value for the voltage delay parameter is 0.5 seconds.
PH Dect Dl (Phase detect delay)

Description The phase detect delay parameter sets the delay time on Fault #56: “Phase Detection.”
This fault detects a loss of proper phase timing even when the phase code remains

power, the low frequency parameter should be set to the lowest acceptable frequency.
This will ensure that a generator problem will not cause unnecessarily large
fluctuations in the speed of the motor.

protection. This type of protection is meant to provide machine ground fault
protection only. It is not meant to provide human ground fault protection.
The ground fault current has to remain above the ground fault level for the ground
delay parameter time before the starter will recognize a ground fault condition. Once
the starter recognizes a ground fault condition, it will shut down the motor and
display a fault 71-Ground Fault. If a programmable relay is set to ground fault (GND),
the starter will energize the relay when the condition exists.
If it is desired to have the starter continue to operate after a ground fault is detected,
enter the fault classes menu (see page 74) and change the classification of fault 71 to
either Dis, WrnA, WrnB, or WrnC.

70
5.20 PROGRAMMING: Motor Protection - Starting Timers
UTS Timer (up-to-speed timer)

Description The up-to-speed timer parameter sets the maximum acceleration time to full speed
that the motor can take. A stalled motor condition will be detected if the motor does
not get up-to-speed before the up-to-speed timer expires. This allows the programming
of a maximum acceleration time for the motor. The motor is considered up-to-speed
once the current stabilizes below 175 percent of the FLA value and the ramp time
expires.
NOTE: The up-to-speed timer has to be set to a time that is greater than the highest
ramp time in use. The up-to-speed timer will not automatically change to be greater

96
6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
Meter Tests
Resistance The SCR’s in the starter can be checked with a standard ohmmeter to determine their
condition.
Remove power from the starter before performing these checks.
Check from L to T on each phase. The resistance should be over 50kohms.
Check between the gate leads for each SCR (red and white twisted pairs). The
resistance should be from 8 to 50 ohms.
NOTE: The resistance measurements may not be within these values and the SCR
may still be good. The checks are to determine if an SCR is shorted L to T or if the
gate on an SCR is shorted or open. An SCR could also still be damaged even though
the measurements are within the above specifications.
Event Recorder
General The RediStart Micro II has an event recorder which stores the event description,
motor state, time, and date of the last 100 events that have occurred. An event is
anything that changes the present state of the starter. Examples of events can include
a start, a stop, an overload warning, or a fault. See page 79 for a complete description
of the event recorder.

SCR Replacement
SCR Clamp The SCR clamp pictured below is typical of the clamp used on all SCRs. The larger
SCRs have two spring washer stacks and pressure indicating washers. These SCR
clamps are precision clamps that allows easy installation to the proper SCR clamping
pressure. They have a pressure indicator(s) that will become loose once the proper
pressure is reached.

SCR Removal To remove an SCR loosen the two bolts at each end of the clamp body. The SCR has a
dowel pin centering it in the heat sink so the two bolts have to be loosened enough to
allow it to clear this pin. DO NOT loosen the tension setting bolt(s) or the clamp will
be destroyed. The tension setting bolt(s) is adjusted to give the proper clamp tension
at the manufacturing factory.
SCR Installation To install an SCR place it between the heat sinks ensuring that the dowel pin engages
the hole in the SCR. Assemble the insulator cups, washers and bolts as shown in the
clamp picture. Finger tighten the bolts until they are snug, ensuring that the bolts are
evenly tightened and the clamp body is parallel to the heat sink. Tighten each bolt in
1/8 turn increments until the pressure indicator(s) can be turned on the bolt. This
ensures the proper clamping pressure on the SCR. For the clamps with two washer
stacks, if one pressure indicator is loose and the other is still tight, it may be
necessary to tighten one side only or slightly loosen the side that is already tight to
get both indicators loose.

6.2 MEDIUM VOLTAGE TROUBLESHOOTING
Built-In Self Test (BIST)

General The RediStart Micro Medium Voltage starter has the capability to perform a test
sequence to ensure it is operating properly. The test will operate the vacuum
contactors and fire the SCR gates so that proper operation can be determined.
Before starting the Built-In Self Test, ensure that the disconnect is open.
This test should not be performed until it has been verified that all three
phases of the disconnect are open.
NOTE: To do the gate firing test, the starter must to have 120VAC supplied to the
K1 relay (run command relay) on the power card. If the K1 relay does not energize
during the test, the RediStart Micro will not fire the SCR gates.
Test Setup To perform the BIST, open the disconnect and supply 120VAC to the Test plug.
Switch the Normal/Test switch to the Test position to begin the test. The RediStart
Micro will log a Code 47 - BIST Started in the event recorder and check the state of
the disconnect switch. If the disconnect switch is closed, the RediStart Micro will
display the following;
Self Test (BIST)

Open Disconnect
Begin BIST Test Otherwise, the RediStart Micro determines that the disconnect switch is open and it
will indicate that it is ready to begin the BIST.
BIST Press Start

To Continue
To begin the BIST process, press the display Start button. To skip any part of the test
and proceed to the next section, press the Start button again.
In-line Test The RediStart Micro will begin the test sequence by operating the in-line contactor
three times and monitoring the 120VAC feedback for proper operation. If the in-line
contactor fails to operate, the RediStart Micro will display a Fault#77 - In-Line Fault
and log a code 77 in the event recorder. During the in-line contactor test, the
RediStart Micro will display;
BIST Inline Test

Cycling Inline
Bypass Test The RediStart Micro will then test the bypass contactor by operating it three times
and monitoring the 120VAC feedback for proper operation. If the bypass contactor
fails to operate, the starter will display a Fault#73 - Bypass Fault and log a code 73 in
the event recorder. During the bypass test, the RediStart Micro will display the
following;
BIST Bypass Test

Cycling Bypass
106
Gate Firing Test The final test that the RediStart Micro will perform is a SCR gate firing test. The
RediStart Micro will fire the SCR gates for three minutes. Examine the pulse
generator cards to ensure all of the gate LEDs come on. Alternatively, the gate voltage
can be measured with a DC voltmeter. The voltage on each white-red twisted pair
should be between 0.5 and 2.0 VDC. While the RediStart Micro is firing the SCR’s, it
will display;
BIST Gate Firing

Check Gate Outs
NOTE: To do the gate firing test, the starter must to have 120VAC supplied to the
K1 relay (run command relay) on the power card. If the K1 relay does not energize
during the test, the RediStart Micro will not fire the SCR gates.
BIST Test Complete Once the BIST is complete, the RediStart Micro registers a code 47 - BIST Complete
in the event recorder and displays;
BIST Complete
Close Disconnect
BIST Test Canceled If, for any reason during the test, the disconnect is closed, power is applied, or the
BIST command is removed, the RediStart Micro will stop the test, log a code 46 - BIST
Canceled, and display;
FAULT#46
BIST Cancelled

Maintenance
General During the life of the RediStart Micro Medium Voltage, it may be necessary to
perform routine maintenance on the unit. The following sections describe how to
change a VACUUM contactor and power pole assembly.
VACUUM Contactor To remove either of the contactors, perform the following steps:
• Ensure that the main disconnect is open and the grounding blades are seated.
• Disconnect all power wire going to the VACUUM contactor poles.
• If necessary, remove the grey cover on the bottom of the contactor.
• Remove the control wires from the contactor.
• Undo the four mounting bolts and remove the contactor.
Replacement of the contactor is the reverse of the removal. Test the contactor before
installing to ensure proper operation. A contactor manual is provided with each
starter and should be referred to when disassembling and reassembling the contactor.
Power Pole To remove a SCR power pole, follow these steps:

• Ensure that the main disconnect is open and the grounding blades are seated.
• Disconnect all power and control wiring going to the phase to be removed.
• Remove the two nuts, one top and one bottom, holding the phase in place.
• Carefully lift the phase from the enclosure, observing caution to avoid damage
to the control wiring.
• Once removed, contact Benshaw to have the phase serviced or exchanged.
The installation of the power pole is the opposite of the removal. the bypass contactor
in the package is horsepower rated and can be used to operate the motor while the
power pole is being serviced. If this is the case, ensure that the power wire for the
removed phase is completely removed from the unit and that the control wiring is
isolated and won’t come in contact with any medium voltage.
