This product has six different starting modes that are suitable for various complicated
motor and load conditions, users could select according to different application ranges.

The above diagram shows the output voltage waveform of voltage ramp startin g.
Thereinto, U1 represents the initial voltage value during starting, when the motor s tarts ,
while the motor current doesn't exceed 400% of rated value, the output voltag e of soft
starter will rise quickly to U1, then, the output voltage will rise gradually a ccording to th e
set starting p arameter, and the motor will speed up steadily along with the rising of voltage,
when the voltage reaches the rated value Ue, the motor reaches the rated speed, and the
bypass contactor will attract, thus, the starting process is finished.
Start ing tim e t can be regulated accor ding to the load magnitude, but not mechanically
controlled. When the load is light, the staring time is usually less than the set value.
Generally speaking, the voltage ramp starting mode is suitable for the locations that have
high requirements on starting stability, but are not strict on starting current.
3) Jump + current limiting starting

20

4) Jump +voltage starting

The diagram below shows the output variation waveform of jump starting mode. In
some heavy-duty occasions, this starting mode may be used when the motor is failed to be
started due to effect of mechanical static friction force. When starting, a high fixed voltage
can be applied to motor and kept for some time to overcome the static friction force of motor
load and drive the motor to rotate, then start in a current-limiting way or voltage ramp way.
Before using this mode, please start the motor with non-jump mode first, only when
the motor is failed to ro tate due to too large static friction force, that this mode can be used,
otherwise, you'd better not use this mode, so as to reduce the unnecessary heavy current
impulse.

6) Voltage current-limiting double-closed-loop starting

Voltage current-limiting double-closed-loop starting mode adopts voltage ramp and
current-limiting double-closed-loop control, is a comprehensive starting mode requires
both smooth starting and strict current-limiting, it adopts pre-estimation me thod for
evaluating the motor working state.
The output voltage waveform of this starting mode will change along with the variati on
of motor and load condition.

The diagram below shows the output current waveform of current ramp starting mode,
thereinto, Ik represents the current-limiting value of F06.

Note: 1) When it is set at 1 and 4, only when the external control terminals RUN,
STOP and COM are closed that it can be controlled by keyboard;
2) If accident stop is not allowed after starting, or accident start is not allowed
when maintaining, just set the code F13 at 7, i.e. all start or stop operation
is forbidden.
When external control terminal is permissible, there are two-wire control mode and
three-wire control mode, see following diagram for detailed wiring:

The current ramp starting mode has strong acceleration capability, is applicable for
two-pole motor, it also is able to shorten the starting time in a certain range.

Two-wire control: wire according to Fig. a), when KA1 is in NC state, it runs when KA2
closes, stops when KA2 opens, and instantaneous stops when KA1 is opened.
Three-wire control: wire according to Fig. b), when KA1 is in NC state, it runs when
pushing down SB2 (impulse signal), stops when pushing down SB1 (impulse signal), and
instantaneous stops when KA1 is opened.

F14 Restart SEL Settable range 0~9. It is used to set the automatic rest art t imes,
when it is set at 0, automatic restarting is ineffective;
This function is effective only for external control two-wire mode, it restarts after a time
delay of 60s after power on or fault elimination (when the set value of F05 is larger than 60s,
then it delays according to F05).
After setting of this function parameter, it would be effective only after re-power on!
This soft starter has protection function against voltage-failure, when power recovers
after failur e, it will not be started automatically no matter which position the external control
terminal is located, thus to avoid unexpected accident! However, when the automatic restart
function is allowed, power failure protection is ineffective.
F15 PARA.Enable It can be set at 0 a nd 1. Whe n it is set at 0, all other parameters
except F15 are f orbidden to be modified; when it is set at 1, all parameters can be modified
except for F00 and F06 that would be specially treated.
F16 COM.Address Settable range 0~64. Address setting when the host com pute r
controls multi soft starters.
F17 K2.Program Settable range 0~7. It is used to set the opera ting time of
programmable output relay (K2), time delay is available by regulating F04.

F18 Stop Limit I. Settable range (20-100)%. This soft stop curr ent limiti ng value
is the percentage of F06 start current limiting value.
e.g. F06 is set at 400, F18 is set a 60, then the soft stop current limiting multiple is
400% 60%=2.4 times of rated current.
F19 Motor Rated I. Settable range (4-1000)A. It is used to set the rated current of
motor of soft starter, its range is (50-200)% of power (unit: kW) of rated machine type. If the
power of rated machine type of your purchased soft starter is 22kW, then setting range o f
F19 is (11-44)A. When the actual operating current of motor is lower than 25% of original
value of F19, sensitivity error for tripping operation protection would be increased.

Chapter 4 Protection and

fault diagnosis
4.1. Protection functions
4.1.1 Protection functions
NJR2 series soft starter has perfect protection functions, guarantee safety using of
soft starters and motors. During operating, please set the protection classes and protection
parameters properly according to actual situations.
1 Overheat protection of soft starter: carry out protection when the temperature reaches
85 , and the overheat protection would be released when the temperature falls to about
65 (difference temperature of temperature controlled switch).
2 Input open-phase protection: when there is input open-phase, the product would carry
out protection against input open-phase, protective lag time<3s.
3 Output open-phase protection: when there is output open-phase, the product would
carry out protection against output open-phase, protective lag time <3s.
4 Three-phase unbalance protection: when current deviation of each phase is rather
large, the product would carry out protection against three-phase unbalance, protective
lag time <3s.
5 Load short-circuit protection: when the output current is larger than 10 times of rated
current of motor, the product would carry out protection against load short-circuit,
protective lag time<20ms.
6 Over-voltage or under-voltage protection: the product would carry out protection when
the source voltage is higher than the set value of F10 or lower than the set value of F09,
protective operation time <3s.
7 Start current-limiting protection time: when the soft starter starts with motor, while it is
larger than 2.75 times of rated current, current-limiting overtime protection will be
carried out according to the time in following table.

Description
1. As the max output capacity of bypass relay K1 is (8~10)
A only, it is unable to control high-power AC contactor
directly, for AC contactors of 167A above, intermediate
relay is recommended;
2. When wiring in this way, it starts when KA1 closes,
stops when KA1 opens;
3. Three-wire control mode can be used, which could leave
out the KA1 intermediate relay;
4. KH thermal relay can be omitted (soft starter itself already
has overload protection function);
5. Terminal number accords with the description of control
terminals.
