and Quick Start Installation

Installation and Operation Notes:(must be installed by Licensed Electrician)

1. Properly Size Phase Converter and Wire. The HP of the first motor to start must be between the ratings of the phase converter. Motors smaller than the first motor may be started after the first motor is started. Smaller motors may then be kept running even while the first motor is stopped and/or restarted. Trying to start a smaller motor than the converter is rated for can over-excite the mo-tor and cause damage to the converter and/or motor. A larger static phase converter will NOT provide more power. Wires should be sized for the maximum rated peak current of the motor or machine, which ever is greater. Going up one size wire for every 50 feet of run helps in motor starting. Local Codes should be used to ensure proper wire size. Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician.

(Properly ground all electrical equipment!)

2. Equipment with controls or magnetic switch gear MUST operate the controls from the single phase lines T1 and T2. The direction of the motor can be reversed by switching the two single phase lines. 3. The Red indicator lamp indicates that the start circuit is in. This lamp should only stay on for up to 3 seconds.The microsmart conrtoller will disengage the start circuit to prevent damage, the coverter will NOT disconnect the single phase line. Always wait until the lamp is off before walking away from converter. If your machine has not started in 3 seconds, turn off the machine immediately and troubleshoot the installation.

4. When first testing the phase converter operation, take the machine out of gear or put it into the lowest possible gear in order to reduce the starting load. If the machine does not start within 2-3 seconds, turn it off and troubleshoot.

5. DO NOT use fuses between the phase converter and the motor. They may be used on the single phase side. A three phase breaker or magnetic starter may be used between the phase converter and the motor so that all three lines break at the same time.

6. Heavily Loaded Applications compressors, pumps, blowers, etc. Should reduce gearing by 30% or increase the motor size by 50%.

7. DSS-D units; toggle must be set to the proper range based on load.
