1. Safety notes
The described devices are electrical equipment for use in industrial electrical power
installations. An impermissible removal of the covers during operation can cause
serious damage to your health, since these devices contain live parts with high
voltages.
Adjustment work may only be performed by trained staff observing the safety regulations.
Assembly and mounting work may only be carried out with the equipment deenergized.
Make sure that all drive components are properly earthed.
Please read these commissioning instructions carefully before putting the device into operation.
Besides, the user must ensure that the devices and associated components are fitted and
connected in accordance with the appliable local, legal and technical regulations. The VDE-
regulations VDE 0100, VDE 0110 (EN 60664), VDE 0160 (EN 50178) , VDE 0113 (EN 60204,
EN 61310),VDE 0660 (EN 50274) plus the appropriate regulations of the TÜV (Technical Control
Association) and the trade associations apply in Germany.
The user must ensure that the drive turns into a safe operating state following a device failure, in
the event of maloperation, or if the control unit has failed etc..
Caution: Even if the motor is at rest, it is not physically separated from the mains.
2. Conformity
In industrial linguistic usage the drive controllers of the type series VersiStart II are called
"devices", however, in the sense of the "law on the safety of equipment", the "EMC-law" or the
"EC-maschinery directive" they are not devices or machines ready for use or connection but they
are components. It is only possible to define their final function, when these components are
integrated into the design and construction of the user.
To be able to use the devices to their intended purpose, it requires power supply networks
according to DIN EN 50160 (IEC38).
The user takes the responsibility that the user’s design and construction comply with the appli-
cable legal provision.
The commissioning is strictly forbidden as long as the conformity of the final product with the
guidelines 2006/42/EC (Machinery directive) and 2006/95/EC (Low voltage directive) is not
proved.

3. General description
In the case of the soft starters of the VersiStart II type the motor voltage is changed in two phases
(1L1/5L3) by a generalized phase control and power semiconductors. Starting from an adjustable
starting trigger angle the trigger angle is continually reduced. Via the adjusted ramp-up time the
motor voltage increases according to a ramp function until the maximum value is reached. When
the acceleration time is over, the power seminconductors are bypassed by integrated relays and
the motor is directly supplied with power from the mains.
After opening of the start/stop-contact, the trigger angle is continuously increased via a ramp-
function, and, as a result, the motor voltage is decreased. The motor softly decelerates with the
adjusted deceleration time.
Acceleration time, starting voltage and deceleration time can be separately adjusted via potentio-
meters.
Acceleration or deceleration are effected by closing or opening of the contact on the terminals
X1/X2.
The boost function is switched on by bridging the terminals X1/X3. Thus, at the beginning of the
soft start, an increased starting voltage is applied to the motor for a period of 0,5s.
The power supply to the control electronics is effected via the power section. On request, the
power supply can also be implemented via an external power supply unit (24V min. 150mA DC).
The devices are suitable for an operation of 3-phase motors in star or delta connection.
Interconnection of motors in a so-called -connection is possible as well.
For -connection, it is necessary to use a main contactor K1, since one motor winding lies
directly between two phases.
4. Usage to the intended purpose
The devices of the VersiStart II-series are electrical equipment that is used in industrial electrical
power installations. They are designed for application in machines, in order to reduce the starting
torque and starting current peaks as well as the tripping torque of drives with three-phase
induction motors.
Typical Applications:
• door and gate drives
• pumps, ventilators, fans
• conveying systems
• packaging machines
• transport systems, assembly lines
• machine applications

5.2 ’Use Copper Conductors 60/75°C, or 75°C only.’
Place the device vertically on a perpendicular mounting plate with the motor terminals pointing
downwards. The device is to be snap-mounted onto a 35mm top-hat rail according to DIN EN
50022. Underneath the device, no additional heat sources such as heating resistors must be
mounted or arranged.
Warning:
To avoid heat concentrations, a distance of at least 40mm is to be kept
between cable duct and device.
Clearance X
Under normal drive conditions, the devices can be
mounted side by side.
In the case of applications requiring high starting
frequencies and / or high-inertia starting, the devices
should be mounted with a distance of approx. 10mm in
between them, in order to ensure good ventilation of the
heat sink.

7.2 Connection
Power section (see also connection diagram)
Control section
The input resistance of the control inputs is 10kOhm. To control them, it is necessary to use
switching contacts enabling reliable switching of the lower control currents (e.g., AgNi+Au)!
If the contact on the terminals X1 a. X2 is closed, the motor accelerates with the adjusted accele-
ration time ramp. When the contact is open, the motor decelerates with the adjusted deceleration
time ramp.
Caution: Danger to life through electric shock!
The motor is not physically separated from the mains.
Alternatively, the device can also be controlled with d.c. voltage.
If only soft starts are required, VersiStart II may also be controlled via the main contactor. For this
purpose, the terminals X1 and X2 have to be bridged.
Adjusting the control type
Devices of the VersiStart II series may be controlled by two types of control.
1. Control with a switching contact or switching transistor between terminal X1 and X2.
2. Control by d.c. voltage 10 … 24VDC between terminals X2 and X4.
Control supply voltage USonly in the case of wide-voltage devices (option B)
Between the terminals X1 (+) and X4 ( ) an auxiliary voltage of 24VDC ±10%/150mA is to be
injected.

7.3 Parameter settings
On the front panel there are 3 potentiometers by means of which the following settings can be
made.
Default setting of potentiometers:
Adjusting soft start
To adjust an optimum starting behavior, you should carry out a test run. Contrary to the default
settings, you should make the following basic potentiometer-settings.
Switch on the supply voltage and start acceleration. Watch the starting behavior and adapt the
approporiate parameters to your drive. At any rate, the starting voltage should be adjusted with
the potentiometer UStart so that the motor starts immediately. At the same time, unnecessary
humming with the motor being at rest is to be avoided.
The potentiometer is to be adjusted so that the requested acceleration time or starting
characteristics is achieved. The acceleration time should always be chosen as short as
possible, in order to keep the thermal stress acting on device and motor as small as possible.
This leads to short times until the bypass relays pull in and ensures good acceleration
characteristics while the power semiconductors and motor are less heated. This is of special
importance in the case of high-inertia starting or high switching frequencies. The acceleration
time, however, has to be adjusted so that the motor reaches nominal speed before the internal
bypass relays close.
Warning:
If the adjusted acceleration time is too short, the internal bypass relays close
before the motor has reached nominal speed. This can cause damage to
the bypass relays.
