How Do You Program an ATS22 Soft Starter to Trip When the Number of Starts per Hour Is Exceeded?
Resolution:
The ATS22 soft starter allows you to limit the number of motor starts within a defined time period. If the programmed limit is exceeded, the soft starter will trip to protect the equipment.
Resolution / Programming Steps:
- Access the Adjustment (Adj) menu on the ATS22.
- Set Snb (Number of Starts):
- Options: Off or 1 to 10 starts
- Set SLG (Start Period):
- Options: 1 to 60 minutes
How It Works (Example):
- If Snb = 3 and SLG = 10 minutes, the soft starter allows up to 3 starts within 10 minutes.
- If the motor is started more than 3 times during this period, the ATS22 will trip with a SnbF fault.
This setting helps prevent excessive starting that could overheat or damage the motor.
