(Note 3) Noise filter
The unit will generate high harmonic electromagnetic noise, so using the following noise
measures is recommended.
Insert a noise filter on the input side of the unit. Contact Amtech to select the proper noise filter.
Keep the wiring length between the noise filter and unit to 500mm (19.7) or less.
Use a shield cable for the unit and motor wiring and connect the screen to the units
terminal.
When using the control circuit wiring and power circuit wiring in parallel, separate the wiring by
300mm (11.8) or more or pass each of the wiring through separate metal conduits. If the control
circuit wiring and main circuit wiring intersect, make sure that they intersect at a right angle.
(Note 4) Output
Do not insert a power factor improvement capacitor on the output side of the unit. When inserting
a magnetic contactor on the output side of the unit, prepare a sequence control circuit so that the
magnetic contactor will not open and close when the unit is running. Directly connect only motor
to the unit and do not connect through a transformer etc...without consulting Amtech.
(Note 5) Grounding
Always ground the unit according to the regulations of the country where the unit is being used to
ensure personnel safety in all circumstances, and to reduce electromagnetic emission and pickup.
Make sure that grounding conductors are adequately sized as required by safety regulations.
In European CE compliant installations and in other installations where EMC emissions must be
minimized, make a 360 high frequency grounding of cable entries in order to suppress
electromagnetic disturbances.
In addition, connect the cable shields to protective earth (PE) in order to meet safety regulations.
(Note 6) Surge absorber
Install a surge absorber on the magnetic contactor and relay coils installed near the unit.

DANGER
Never touch the unit terminals while the power is ON even if the operation is stopped.
Failure to observe this could lead to electric shocks.
Selection of the restart function could lead to unexpected restarting when a fault occurs. The
machine may start suddenly if the power is turned ON, if the run command is present. Do not go
near the machine.
The machine may not stop according to the set Soft Stop time when a stop command is issued if
the ramp down to stop function is selected and the voltage / current limit function is activated.
Prepare a separate emergency stop switch in such cases.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries.
Resetting of a fault while the run signal is input could lead to restarting. Always confirm that the
run signal is OFF before resetting the fault.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries.

(7) Make sure that there is no short circuit state in the terminals caused by wire scraps, etc.
(8) Always correctly install the front cover and outer cover before turning the power ON.
Make sure that there is no abnormal noise, smoke or odors at this time. If any abnormality is found,
turn the power OFF immediately.
4.1.1 Selection of start / stop modes
With the Axpert-Opti torque, three start modes and four stop modes can be selected. These are set
with the parameter A104: Start Mode Selection and A105: Stop Mode Selection.
Amtech
4.2
Normally, V-Ramp is used in almost 90% applications. However, where the load has to reach to the
full speed within short time, I-Ramp is the preferred start mode. Where, reduction in the current peak
and linear rise of speed is required, use T-Ramp mode. For the test operation, select V-Ramp Start
as start mode and Coast-to-stop as stop mode.

This parameter adjusts the duration of kick voltage applied to the motor. When set to 0, disables the
kick-start function.
If current feedback is available in the unit, it is possible to limit the current during the kick-start, if ILimit kick (B308) is enabled.
Set this if Jogging is selected as a programmable sequence input command. This is set as a
percentage of the rated motor voltage.
This feature is typically used to check rotation, alignment or slowly move load into a position.
The starting profile under Jogging will be same as that of a V-Ramp Start. The set ramp up time and
kick-start feature will be applicable to Jogging function. Dual Ramp start will not functional in Jogging.
If the current transformers are connected to the control card, current limit protection is available when
motor voltage is ramping up to the jog reference value. The applicable stop mode in Jogging is cost to
stop.
However, RUN command has the higher priority than Jogging, if both the signals are input together.

As shown in fig. a motor accelerates too rapidly towards the top end of its speed range. To obtain
closer to liner acceleration profile, extend the ramp up time to check the acceleration and reduced the
target voltage as shown in fig. b. If acceleration profile is unacceptable, again readjust the target
voltage until an acceptable acceleration profile is reached as shown in fig. c. But still in fig. c, motor
reaches full speed before the target voltage is reached. Now as shown in fig. d, adjust the ramp up
time down, so that motor voltage is increased to 100% just after the motor reaches full speed.

These parameters will be set if I-Ramp Start is selected in Start Mode Selection (A104). It is only
possible to have an I-Ramp Start if current transformers are properly connected to the control card.
Under I-Ramp Start, the motor will accelerate at the value set under I-limit (B301) and the starting
time is not allowed to exceed the time set by I-limit time (B302). An I-Ramp Start is used to accelerate
the load as rapidly as possible, but with due respect to the rated motor current. The sort of torques
relationship exists between a voltage ramp start and a current ramp start is shown in below fig. 6-613.

The shape of the torque profile under current ramp start has a higher peak than a voltage ramp start,
which reinforces the fact that a current ramp start is not an effective torque limiting start mode. The
speed profile under such s start, will probably exhibit increasing acceleration as the motor speed
increases.

Set these parameters if Brake Stop is selected in Stop Mode Selection (A105). Brake Stop is used in
applications where the fast braking of high inertia machines is required, i.e. flywheel applications. The
brake stop option is of the reversing plug type and requires phase reversing contactor at front end of

I-Limit Level sets the value of the current limit as a percentage of Motor Current (B103), and I-Limit
Time (B302) sets the time in seconds, in which the I-Limit condition can exist before a trip will occur.
The current limit feature is active only during the ramp up.
Whenever the motor current exceeds the I-Limit, motor voltage held constant until the current falls to
an acceptable level. The current remains higher than the value set under I-Limit (B301) for a time set
under I-Limit Time, the unit will trip in an overload fault. If time frame a + b exceeded the value set by
I-Limit Time (B302), the unit will trip.
This feature provides adequate protection for the thyristor stack and sufficient current limiting to the

The under current trip facility offers an easy way of shutting the device down, when it operates for an
extended period without a load. The under current trip is not active during ramp up and ramp down.
To set the under current trip, start the motor with no load, and record the current displayed by the unit.
Starts it again with normal load, and set the trip point half way between these values. The unit
calculates the displayed current, by averaging the current in all three phases and scaling this to an
RMS value. There is no guarantee that meter used to measure the current, will operate in the same
way, and therefore no guarantee that the value measured will be exactly the same as the displayed
value.

B305: Overload Setting (%)
Set this parameter as % of the rated motor current. Changing of this parameter will change the
tripping time of the thermal overload curves. For example, at overload setting of 105% - Class 30
curve will trip the unit in 30sec @600% of FLC where as at 52% of overload setting Class 30 curve
will trip the unit in 30sec @300% of FLC.
Program the appropriate class according to the characteristics of the motor and load. These trip
curves are based on a common tripping point of 600% of rated motor current. For example Class20 curve is 20-sec trip at @600% of FLC with overload setting 0f 105%.
Note: These are the cold start curve and every start will reduced the tripping times. Curves are
shown at the overload setting of 105% in Fig. 6-6-23.

operation.

I-Trip Level is entered as a percentage of the motor current, which the RMS value and the processor,
which scales the I-Trip value to a peak current and it is the peak current at which the unit will trip. For
example, if I-Trip level set to 500% and Motor Current is 40A, unit will trip the instant the current
exceeds 282A, i.e. 282 = 40 * 5 * 2.

WARNING
This manual represents Amtech's recommendations based on its understanding of the EMC
regulations only and Amtech cannot accept responsibility for any legal problems arising from or in
connection with the use of its products.
Amtech have made every effort to ensure that their products comply with the directives laid out in
the certificate of conformity, which is supplied with each soft starter.
The EMC directives set out immunity requirements for the electrical soft starter (ability to work
properly without being affected by external electromagnetic disturbance), in addition to the previously
enforced emission requirements (electromagnetic disturbance generated by the electrical soft starter).
In addition to the radiated noise directly generated from the soft starter and its connected cables, the
emission requirement includes the conducted noise, which is conducted outside the soft starter
through the input cables.
Immunity is the ability of a soft starter to operate properly without being affected by an external
disturbance.
The EMC compliance is only achieved when the immunity level of soft starter exceeds its emission
level under its operating environment.
In addition to the immunity against a radiated and conducted disturbance, the EMC directives also
require of the soft starter the immunity against static electricity discharges and fast transients.
CAUTION
13
A soft starter which is installed near cables connected to a switching inductive load can often operate
incorrectly due to a fast transient induced on its control leads at a switching of the inductive load.

These are just a few examples of disturbance to which the soft starter is exposed and the soft starter
is now required to operate correctly without being affected by such disturbance.
13-1 Installation environments
The Axpert-Opti torque conforms to the EN 60947-4-2: 2000 + A2:2006 With stand-alone installation
of Axpert-Opti torque, it is recommended to ensure that no device or equipment is installed adjacent
to the soft starter that is intended for the Residential, Commercial and Light Industrial Environments
only, as interference with such equipment may occur.

Fault Name
Fault Description
This fault indicates that the unit has tripped due to excessive over
current. (550% of the rated current). This fault occurs when the load
current exceed the value set under I-Trip Level (B307). This fault
gives the instantaneous Over Current trip. A short circuit condition on
the output will also cause the unit to display this fault.
This fault occurs when the load current falls below the set value
under I-Low Level (B303) for a set time in I-Low Time (B304). This
active only during the running condition.
I-Unbalance Fault
This fault occurs when the current between any two phases differ by
the value set under the I-Unbalance Level (B205) for a set time in I
Unbalance Delay (B206).
Overload Fault
The fault active whenever motor current exceeds the value set under
the Over Load Setting (B305) and the unit will trip as per the selected
overload curve. This fault also occurs whenever the load current
exceeds the value set under I- Limit (B301) for a set time in I-Limit
Time (B302).
Firing Fault
A firing fault means that after the firing pulses are sent to the thyristor
is not conducting. This would normally occur only if the thyristor has a
faulty gate or if the thyristor is open circuit or, one or more thyristors
are short-circuited or if the thyristor firing circuit is faulty, or one or
more motor windings are open circuited.
This fault occurs whenever the input voltage to the unit exceeds
+20% of the value set under the Rated Input Voltage (B101). If this
fault occurs, this fault is instantaneous in order to protect the unit.
This fault will occur when one or more input phases are lost or the
input voltage falls below the 30% of the value set under the Rated
Input Voltage (B101).
External Fault
This fault occurs if the external fault input selected at the terminal is
missing. This comes from the user.
Emergency Stop
This fault indicates that the unit has shut down due to the emergency
stop command. This also comes from the user.
10
EEPROM Fault
This fault indicates that the data received from the EEPROM is
incorrect. After reset, it will store default values in the EEPROM
memory.
11
Ground Fault
This fault indicates that the unit has shut down due to ground fault.
Before reset, check that any output is not shorted with the ground.
12
Communication Loss
If the slave (main control unit) is not responding to the master (Digital
Operation Panel), this fault will occur. It is auto reset type. If the
communication resumes, this will be cleared.
13
This fault indicates that the phase sequence at the input to the Soft
Starter is reversed.
14
This fault occurs when the line frequency exceeds the +10% of the
motor frequency.
15
This fault occurs when the line frequency below the -10% of the
motor frequency.

If the above voltages are correct, check the following jumper positions.
Jumper Position
1. The equipment is shipped with sink logic (JP1 is kept on Sink position) for the programmable
sequence inputs. To change the sink logic to source, change the jumper JP1 position to Source.
2. The equipment is shipped with JP3 in NLD position. This means the terminating resistors are not in
picture. To insert the terminating resistors, keep the jumper to LD position.
If the above jumper positions are correct, check the following as per the fault displayed on the
Operation Panel (LCD Display)
No.
Fault Name
1. I-Low Level (B303) is set too high. Decrease the set value.
2. Motor is overhauling, Short duration overhauls can be filtered by
