Connecting the controller to a line voltage lower than its rating will: 1) cause erratic controller operation resulting Figure 7 Inductive Load Suppression in damage to the motor, or 2) prevent controller opera- tion due to the low control voltage lockout protective fea- ture.

RUN interlock contact closes and latches in the RUN coil. When the stop switch is pushed or power is lost, the circuit is broken and the controller drops out which shuts off power to the motor. Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc.

When the DECEL TIMER is set to a value greater than zero, ramp 2 settings become decel settings and run #2 coil is not used. With DECEL TIMER = 0 the ramp 2 settings are for a second start ramp.

The SIKOSTART 3RW35 has two separately adjustable ramps, each having voltage and ramp settings. If the decel timer is set to a value other than zero, the second ramp is changed to a decel ramp, utilizing the soft stop capabilities of the SIKOSTART 3RW35.
1. Temporarily remove run signal connections by opening the circuit at control terminals A1 and A2. 2. Turn on main AC power and control power to the controller; LED 1 comes on. Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc.
For a soft stop, most appli- cations require the stop time T2 to be equal to or longer than the start time T1. Turn run signal off before changing the T2 setting. Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc.
