DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE Statements
DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and Note statements are used throughout this manual to
emphasize important and critical information. You must read these statements to help ensure safety
and to prevent product damage. The statements are defined below.
DANGER
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTE: A NOTE statement is used to notify people of installation, operation, programming,
or maintenance information that is important, but not hazard-related.

Disclaimer of Warranty
Magnetek, hereafter referred to as Company, assumes no responsibility for improper programming
of a soft starter by untrained personnel. A soft starter should only be programmed by a trained
technician who has read and understands the contents of this manual. Improper programming of a
soft starter can lead to unexpected, undesirable, or unsafe operation or performance. This may result
in damage to equipment or personal injury. Company shall not be liable for economic loss, property
damage, or other consequential damages or physical injury sustained by the purchaser or by any
third party as a result of such programming. Company neither assumes nor authorizes any other
person to assume for Company any other liability in connection with the sale or use of this product.
IMPORTANT
1. Read this manual carefully and follow its instructions before operating equipment.
2. Installation, operation, and maintenance should be in strict accordance with this manual,
national codes and good practice. Installation or operation not performed in strict accordance
with these instructions will void manufacturer’s warranty.
3. Disconnect all power inputs before wiring or servicing the equipment.
4. After installation, verify that no hardware (bolts, washers, etc.) have fallen into the power
section.
WARNING
1. Internal components and printed circuit boards are at main potential when the RVS-DX is
connected to main power. This voltage is extremely dangerous, and may cause death or severe
injury if contacted.
2. The control PCB employs CMOS ICs that are easily damaged by static electricity. Use proper
electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling the control PCB.
3. When the RVS-DX is connected to main power, even if control power is not connected and the
motor is stopped, full voltage may appear on the RVS-DX’s output terminals.
4. RVS-DX must be grounded to ensure correct operation, safety, and to prevent damage.
5. Power factor capacitors must NOT be connected to the output side of the RVS-DX.
WARNING
Improper programming of a soft starter can lead to unexpected, undesirable, or unsafe
operation or performance.

RVS-DX, Digital Soft Starter Instruction Manual—04/01/04

Overview
The RVS-DX is a digital electronic soft starter, incorporating six SCR’s to start a three phase squirrel
cage induction motor by supplying a slowly increasing voltage, providing soft start and smooth
stepless acceleration, while drawing the minimum current necessary to start the motor. The RVS-DX
is equipped with internal bypass relays initiated by its microprocessor control (on units 31-310
amps).
Using the soft stop, the RVS-DX slowly reduces the motor voltage, thus softly stopping a high
friction load. In applications where the inertia of a load would cause the motor to “free wheel”; the
soft stop will not stop the motor any faster than the coast to stop.
Starter Selection
Select the RVS-DX soft starter according to the motor’s Full Load Amps. Also consider the
following information:
Maximum starts per hour: 4 starts per hour at maximum ratings up to 10 starts/hour for
lightly loaded applications.
NOTE: For very frequent starts (inching applications) the inching current should be considered
the FLA.
Supply Voltage (Line to Line): +10%–15%
Standard Supply Voltage: 220–240 volts
460–500 volts
575–600 volts
Special Order Voltage: 380–440 volts
NOTE: All RVS-DX units are suitable for 50/60 Hz.
Control Voltage: 110-120 volts (+10% -15%); 50/60 Hz (standard)
220-240 volts (+10% -15%); 50/60 Hz
