TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
Chapter 1 - Introduction  
1.1 General Description  
The TE Series is a digitally programmable solid-state reduced voltage  
soft starter. Its six SCR design features a voltage/current ramp with an  
anti-oscillation circuit for smooth load acceleration. The SCRs are sized  
to withstand starting currents of 350% for 30 seconds and up to 600%  
for 10 seconds. The TE Series features smooth, stepless ramp control,  
which reduces motor inrush current and excessive wear on the  
mechanical drive train components. The TE Series includes a  
programmable keypad for setting operating parameters for the ideal  
starting cycle and protection features, plus easy to understand  
diagnostic LEDs. Starting torque, ramp time, current limit, dual ramp,  
and Decel control are standard features on the TE Series, as well as  
the integrated Batch Process Timer and Time Clock Controller used for  
automated applications. By simply adjusting the unit’s starting torque,  
ramp time and current limit functions, the starting electrical  
characteristics of the motor can be matched to the mechanical  
characteristics of the drive train for controlled acceleration of the load.  
The TE Series includes solid-state electronic overload protection in  
addition to numerous other protective features. It requires 120VAC  
(240VAC optional) control power and uses dry contact inputs for Start /  
Stop control. Programmable auxiliary contacts and provisions for  
interlocking are also included.

1.2  
Sizes and Ratings  
The Toshiba TE Series starters are current rated controllers. Max. Amp  
ratings are for continuous duty and must not be exceeded. Always  
check the motor nameplate FLA and Service Factor to ensure proper  
sizing.  
Each size has an adjustable range of current from 50% to 100% of the  
Max Amp rating. Table 1.2 below shows the Current Ratings available.  
1.2.1  
Selecting for Service Factor Utilization  
Current  
Range  
Many NEMA design motors include a design rating referred to  
as Service Factor (SF) that may allow continuous operation  
above the nameplate current rating. If using this Service  
Factor, the TE Series starter must be sized for the total amps  
used. For proper selection of the TE Series starter when using  
SF continuously, multiply the nameplate FLA by the stated  
Service Factor, or use stated Service Factor Amps (SFA) if  
listed on the nameplate. Following is an excerpt from the  
NEMA MG-1 standards for AC Motors that describes the  
issues concerning the use of Service Factor ratings.

"When an induction motor is operated at any service factor  
greater than 1.0, it may have efficiency, power factor and  
speed different than those at rated load. Locked rotor torque  
and current and breakdown torque will remain the same. A  
motor operating continuously at any service factor greater than  
1.0 will have a reduced life expectancy compared to operating  
at its nameplate horsepower."  
When using this feature, simply program the TE Series  
Service Factor (F002) to the nameplate rating see section  
5.6.1. All other adjustments to protection circuits are done  
automatically within the TE Series.

1.2.2  
Selecting for Across the Line Bypass  
If you need to be able to start the motor Across-the-Line if the  
TE Series electronics are out of service, the starter can also  
be selected based upon the rating of the Bypass Contactor.  
Some users may also elect to size their Bypass Contactors per  
NEMA guidelines. Please use the Product Price Catalog for  
details and notes on doing this, and see Appendix 5 for special  
considerations regarding Overload Protection.

Chapter 2 - Installation  
2.1  
Receiving and Unpacking  
Upon receipt of the product, you should immediately do the following:  
ƒ
Carefully unpack the unit from the shipping carton and inspect it for  
shipping damage (if damaged, notify the freight carrier and file a  
claim within 15 days of receipt).  
ƒ
Verify that the model number on the unit matches your purchase  
order.  
ƒ
Confirm that the ratings sticker on the unit matches or is greater  
than the motor’s HP and current rating.  
2.2  
Choosing a Location  
Proper location of the TE Series is necessary to achieve specified  
performance and normal operation lifetime. The TE Series should  
always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:  
ƒ
Ambient operating temperature:  
Panel (open chassis) unit: 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F)  
Enclosed unit: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Protected from rain, moisture and direct sun.  
Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing  
Free from metallic particles, conductive dust and corrosive gas  
Free from excessive vibration (below 0.5G)  
Open panel units must be mounted in the appropriate type of  
enclosure. Enclosure size and type must be suitable to dissipate  
heat generated by the soft starter and any other components  
mounted inside with it.  
ƒ
ƒ
Units with –BP Bypass Contactors produce less heat than units  
without. Throughout all sizes, maximum heat dissipation of the  
TE…-BP Series electronics, contactor coils and fans is less than  
50W.  
Units without the –BP Bypass Contactor (optional on 210A and  
above), must have ventilation adequate to account for heat  
dissipation of the SCRs. This must be estimated at 4.5 watts per  
running load amp. For example, on a 200HP 460V motor with  
240FLA, the maximum heat dissipation of a starter w/o bypass will  
be 240 x 4.5, or 1080 watts of heat. Enclosure ventilation (or air  
conditioning) must be capable of dispersing this amount of heat.  
ƒ
Care should always be taken to maximize the available space  
inside of the enclosure. See section 2.5.1 or contact factory for  
assistance in sizing enclosures.  
2.3  
Initial Unit Inspection  
Make a complete visual check of the unit for damage that may have  
occurred during shipping and handling. Do not attempt to continue  
installation or start up the unit if it is damaged.  
ƒ
Check for loose mechanical assemblies or broken wires which may  
have occurred during transportation or handling. Loose electrical  
connections will increase resistance and cause the unit to function  
improperly.  
ƒ
Prior to beginning the installation, verify that the motor and TE  
Series unit are rated for the proper amperage and voltage.

WARNING  
2.4  
SERVICE WARNING!  
Do not service equipment with voltage applied! The unit can be the  
source of fatal electrical shocks! To avoid shock hazard,  
disconnect main power and control power before working on the  
unit. Warning labels must be attached to terminals, enclosure and  
control panel to meet local codes. Use Lock Out tags such as the  
one shown when servicing equipment.  
2.5  
Mounting and Cleaning  
When drilling or punching holes in the enclosure, cover the electrical  
assembly to prevent metal filings from becoming lodged in areas which  
can cause clearance reduction or actually short out electronics. After  
work is complete, thoroughly clean, vacuum the area, and re-inspect the  
unit for foreign material.  
2.5.1 Clearances  
Make sure there is sufficient clearance all around the unit for cooling,  
wiring and maintenance purposes. To conserve panel space, the TE  
Series –BP models were designed for close horizontal clearances of  
only 1 inch (25mm) on either side. A minimum vertical clearance of 4”  
(100 mm) on the top and bottom is necessary to maximize effective  
airflow and cooling, and the unit must be installed with its heat sink ribs  
oriented vertically and running parallel to the mounting surface. Keep in  
mind that these are minimums. Wiring may require more clearance,  
particularly on the bottom.

WARNING  
Remove all sources of power before cleaning the unit.  
In dirty or contaminated atmospheres, the unit should be cleaned on a  
regular basis to ensure proper cooling. Do not use any chemicals to  
clean the unit. To remove surface dust use clean, dry compressed air  
only, 80 to 100 psi. A three-inch, high quality, dry paintbrush is helpful to  
loosen up the dust prior to using compressed air on the unit. Do not use  
wire brushes or other conductive cleaning materials.  
2.6  
Power Terminations  
All line and load power terminations are to be made to tin plated copper  
Bus Tabs located on each unit. Bus tabs are pre-drilled to accept  
industry standard bolts. Some sizes come with saddle clamp terminals,  
however lugs are the responsibility of the user. Toshiba recommends  
using crimp-on lugs, although mechanical lugs are suitable as well. The  
following diagrams show sizes of the bus tab holes and critical spacing  
between them for determining the size of lug that can be used.  
NOTE: All wiring must be sized according to local code standards.

Remote Keypad Mounting  
The keypad / operator interface unit can be remotely mounted up to 10’  
(3 meters) away from the starter, i.e. on the enclosure door. A remote  
mounting kit is necessary, consisting of an adaptor plate, a doorframe  
for NEMA 1 or NEMA 12 enclosures and a pre-assembled ribbon cable  
available in 1-meter length increments. Detailed assembly instructions  
and an enclosure cutout template are included with that kit. See Product  
Selection Guide for part numbers of the different kits depending on

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
Chapter 3 - Motor Overload Protection  
3.1  
Solid State Overload Protection  
The TE Series Starter provides true U.L. listed I2t Thermal Overload  
Protection as a built-in function of the main digital processor for  
maximum motor protection. It simulates the tripping action of a bi-  
metallic overload relay, with the accuracy and repeatability of a digital  
control system. It is adjustable over a wide range and can be easily  
programmed for different trip curves.  
MOTOR FLA (F001)  
must be programmed  
for unit to operate!  
3.1.1 Thermal Memory  
The TE Series microprocessor uses a sophisticated “Thermal Register”  
in the digital memory to keep track of motor heating and cooling over  
time regardless of the starter’s power status. By using non-volatile  
memory, the TE Series does not “forget” that the motor has been  
running even if power to the starter is turned off and turned back on.  
Continuous overload protection is provided based on the true thermal  
condition of the motor.  
3.1.2 Thermal Capacity  
The Thermal Register is displayed as a percentage. This percentage is  
the motor’s remaining thermal capacity. The percentage value begins at  
100, showing that the motor is cool (has 100% of its capacity available).  
As the motor heats up or moves toward an overload condition, the  
percentage begins to drop. The Thermal Capacity is derived from the  
programmed motor nameplate Full Load Amps (FLA) in Function F001,  
the Service Factor rating in Function F002, and the Overload Trip Class  
in Functions F003 and F004. Setting these functions to the proper  
values provides maximum protection and eliminates nuisance tripping.  
Examples:  
H 100  
100% Thermal Capacity  
remaining at rest  
The Remaining Thermal Capacity can be viewed by using the UP or  
DOWN arrow keys when in the Status Display mode. From the default  
Phase A Current screen (dot on right side), press the UP arrow key 4  
times to display [H100] meaning there is 100% of the Thermal Capacity  
(H = Heat capacity) remaining in the motor. After starting or running, the  
motor will use this capacity and the display will show a lower number.  
For example, after a cold start, the display may read [H065] which  
indicates that the motor has 65% of its thermal capacity remaining (35%  
used). The Status Display screens cycle back to the beginning, so the  
Down arrow keys can get to this display as well.  
H 057  
57% Thermal Capacity  
remaining after starting  
(43% used)  
ƒ
3.1.2.a  
Motor Full Load (FLA) Setting  
Use Function F001 to enter motor FLA as indicated on the motor  
nameplate. (Do not calculate for service factor, this is programmed  
separately in F002).  
ƒ
NOTE:  
All TE Series starters are shipped from the factory with F001 set to  
a default value of 0000. If F001 is left at the factory default, the unit  
will not operate. If the user attempts to start the TE Series without  
entering the motor nameplate FLA, the starter will Fault and the  
display will read “nFLA” (no Full Load Amps).

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
3.1.3 Disabling the Overload Protection  
The Overload Protection feature can be disabled if necessary. When  
using external devices such as Motor Protection Relays or when the TE  
Series is wired downstream from an existing starter, this feature can be  
disabled to prevent conflicts with external overload protection devices.  
When the TE Series is controlling multiple motors, the built-in Overload  
protection must be disabled and individual thermal overload relays must  
be installed on the motor leads going to each motor (see appendix 5 for  
additional details). To disable the Overload Protection function, use  
F005.  
WARNING  
Do NOT disable Overload Protection unless another Thermal Overload Protection  
device exists in the circuit for all three phases. Running a motor without Overload  
Protection presents serious risk of motor damage or fire.  
ƒ
3.1.3.a  
Manual Reset  
The factory default setting is Manual Reset. This means that when  
the Overload Trip is activated, the starter cannot be restarted  
without pressing the Reset key. The Overload Trip will not reset  
until the motor cools down (see 3.1.3.d). The Manual Reset function  
is also “trip free”. Holding in the Reset key will not prevent the  
Overload Trip from activating and protecting the motor.  
ƒ
ƒ
NOTE:  
When the Overload Trip activates, the Overload LED will glow solid.  
When the motor cools down, the LED will begin to flash, indicating  
that the Overload Trip can be reset.  
3.1.3.b  
Automatic Reset  
If Automatic Reset is necessary, change from Manual Reset to  
Automatic Reset by using Function F005. (See Section 5 for  
details). In this mode, a 3-wire control circuit will be capable of  
restart when the TE Series has reset itself after the cool down  
period.  
WARNING  
Two-wire control systems may restart without warning when Auto  
Reset of the overload protection is selected. Extreme caution  
should be exercised. To prevent automatic restarting with 2-wire  
control systems, use external interlocking to provide sufficient  
warning and safety to operators. A Warning Label similar to that  
shown below (and the one provided in the packet with this manual)  
must be located where visible (on the starter enclosure and/or the  
driven equipment) as required by local code.  
WARNING: MOTOR CONNECTED TO THIS EQUIPMENT  
MAY START AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT WARNING

3.1.3.c  
Overload Protection During Bypass  
When an integral Bypass Contactor is used to shunt power around  
the SCRs in the TE Series (as in the TE…-BP version), overload  
protection is maintained as long as the TE Series is directly  
controlling the contactor. No additional Overload Relay is  
necessary for normal operation.  
CAUTION  
If a Bypass Contactor is added by the user in the field (i.e. 210A units and above), care  
must be taken to ensure proper power routing to ensure functioning of the Overload  
protection. Consult factory for assistance.  
ƒ
When the Bypass Contactor on a TE…-BP Series has been  
selected to be used for Across-the-Line restart (reference section  
1.2.3), supplemental overload protection may be necessary. For this  
application, refer to the External Overload Relay Applications  
supplement and wiring diagram in Appendix 5 and section 4.2.6.a.  
ƒ
3.1.3.d  
Dynamic Reset Capacity  
The TE Series includes the ability to dynamically track the Thermal  
Capacity needed for a successful restart after an overload trip. It  
averages the Thermal Capacity consumed in the previous three  
successful starts, and calculates a Thermal Capacity to Start  
(viewed in Function F059). After tripping on Overload, the Thermal  
Register must have regained the amount recorded in F059 before a  
Reset will be allowed. If the display reads [ Inh] when attempting to  
reset an overload trip, it is indicating that the starter is Inhibited from  
being reset.  
Refer to details of Function F071 for information on emergency  
override of lockouts such as this.  
3.2  
NEMA Class Trip Curves  
NEMA Class trip curves are based on a common tripping point of 600%  
of motor Full Load Amps (FLA). Curves vary by the amount of time  
before the unit trips. As an example, a Class 20 curve will trip in 20  
seconds at 600% of FLA. The factory default setting of Class 10 will trip  
in 10 seconds at 600% of FLA.  
3.2.1 Dual Overload Trip Curves  
The TE Series Soft Starter provides two separate Overload Trip  
Protection Curves, one for starting and one for running conditions. The  
starter’s At-Speed detection circuit determines when the motor has  
reached full speed. When the At-Speed condition is reached, the  
overload trip curve will shift from the Start to the Run level, as  
programmed in Functions F003 and F004. See Section 5.6.1 for  
programming details.  
3.2.2 Starting Overload Trip Curve  
During the start mode, Overload Trip Curves are selectable from NEMA  
Class 5 through Class 20 only. The default setting of Class 10 allows  
protection for the overload capacity of the soft starter as well as the  
motor. Use a higher Trip Class only if nuisance tripping occurs with the  
default setting.

4.1.4 Testing  
The TE Series can be tested with a load smaller than the motor it was  
originally selected to control, however additional steps must be taken to  
avoid tripping on Phase Current Loss. See section 5.6.9.a under “Phase  
Loss Protection” for additional details on performing this task.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
The unit cannot be tested without a motor or other test load  
connected to the load side of the unit. It may be necessary to use a  
load bank to test the unit without a motor.  
ƒ
ƒ
Line voltage will appear across the output terminals if there is no  
motor or load connected to the unit.  
IMPORTANT NOTE:  
Fault code SSd may display if there is no output load connection  
when control power is applied!  
4.1.5 Lightning Protection  
As with all electronic power controllers, protection from damage by  
lightning surges is recommended in areas where lightning is a  
significant problem. Stationary air gap lightning arrestors should be  
considered and utilized on the input power source. The best method of  
protection is to have an Isolation Contactor in front of the starter that is  
open when the soft starter is not in use.  
4.2  
Control Connections  
Control connections on the TE Series starter are divided into 2 groups.  
With the unit oriented vertically, TB1 is a 12-point DC terminal block (on  
the left), and TB2 is a 10 point AC terminal block (on the right side).  
These are removable terminal blocks for ease of connection and  
servicing, and are provided with different spacing (pitch) between the  
header pins so they are not interchangeable. Following are descriptions  
of control connection points.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
Terminal numbers are shown on the side of the first and last  
terminal of each block. An additional 3 point terminal on the far left  
side is for serial communication connections (see section 5.6.11).

using 2 wire control. Refer to Appendix 3 for additional details and  
information on time clock functions, and section 5.6.9 for details on  
using Auto-Reset functions.  
NOTE:  
When a maintained contact is used for start/stop it is advisable to  
set the overload relay to the manual reset position. This will prevent  
the motor from restarting if the thermal overload trips and then cools  
off.  
CAUTION  
Control Terminals 1-10 of TB1 are a 24VDC circuit from an internal  
power supply of the TE Series.  
Use dry (unpowered) contact closures only. Applying any voltage  
to these terminals will result in damage to the TE Series control  
board.  
If existing 120VAC or other powered control circuit must be  
interfaced, use interposing relays or control the TE Series with 2  
wire control as shown above.  
4.2.4 Interlock Connection  
TB1 provides a connection point for an external dry (voltage free) N.C.  
(Normally Closed) interlock device between terminals 4 and 5.  
Examples where this interlock connection would be used include low oil,  
high temperature, or excess vibration dropout from user supplied  
devices. A factory-installed jumper is provided which allows the TE  
Series unit to operate if external interlocks are not used. If this jumper is  
removed and an interlock is not used, the TE Series unit will not  
function.

The Dual Ramp feature is useful in instances where the load  
changes significantly. Example: a loaded or unloaded conveyor belt.  
The characteristics for starting an unloaded conveyor can be  
programmed for ramp 1. The characteristics for starting a loaded  
conveyor can be programmed for ramp 2. Ramp 2 can also be  
programmed for Full Voltage / Across-the-Line starting by setting  
the ramp time to 0 and Current to 600%.

Dual Ramp is also useful in 2-speed motor applications. Simply use  
an auxiliary contact from one of the speed contactors to select  
Ramp 2 so that separate ramp profiles can be used.

4.2.6 PTC Thermistor Input  
The TE Series starter is provided with input terminals for connecting a  
PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Thermistor that may be  
imbedded in the motor. These are specialized resistors imbedded in  
some motor windings that increase resistance as the temperature  
increases. When the TE Series detects that the PTC input resistance is  
too high, it initiates a PTC trip, and displays it on the readout as  
[ PTc ]. This is independent of the Thermal Register overload current  
protection and provides supplemental protection for high motor ambient  
temperature applications. Terminals for this input are provided with a  
factory jumper that must be removed if the PTC input is used. These  
terminals are located on TB1, Terminals 9 and 10.

PTC resistors are also found in other devices such as bearings, air  
receivers, oil or coolant reservoirs and air discharge systems that may  
require shutdown of the motor.  
PTC Resistor Values:  
Resistance must be greater than or equal to 750 Ω at 25ºC. If multiple  
resistors are used in the motor, the sum of all resistors in series must  
equal or exceed this value.

If an external Over Load Relay (OLR) is used (see Section 3.1.3.c

the contact will open, opening the resistance input to the PTC circuit  
(the resistance goes to infinity). This indicates an immediate Over  
Load to the starter, which trips and displays it on the readout as

NOTE:  
An Emergency Stop Push Button or any other field device may be  
wired to the PTC input using NC contacts. When the contacts open,  
the starter will detect it as a PTC trip. Even if a PTC is used in the  
motor, field devices can still be added as long as the total circuit  
resistance is not exceeded.  
ƒ
This feature is especially useful when using Decel Control because  
it will immediately shut off power to the motor even if Decel is  
active. If used this way, instruct the users as to the trip indication  
issues (i.e. the display will show [ PTc ] and the Overload LED will  
be on).

4.2.7 Fault Signal  
An optically isolated Triac output is dedicated as a fault indicator on  
TB1, terminals 11 and 12, labeled “Opto”. The output Triac switch is  
rated for 10 - 250 VAC/DC, 50 mA (maximum). If the three  
programmable Output Auxiliary Relays are being used for other  
functions, this output can easily be hooked up to a PLC or small  
external relay to provide a Fault signal. This Fault Output operation is  
permanently fixed at “Any Trip”, duplicating the Relay setting #16 as  
shown in Table 5.6.10.

4.2.8 Output (Auxiliary) Relay Contacts  
Three programmable auxiliary relays are on TB2. The TE Series starter  
comes with three programmable dry relay output contacts. Outputs #1  
and #2 are Form C (SPDT), with a Common, N.O. and N.C. Output #3  
is a Form A, (SPST), N.O. contact. It is not necessary to use the  
programmable output auxiliary relays in the Start / Stop circuit. An  
internal seal-in relay is provided elsewhere (see 4.2.2.a above). Toshiba  
recommends fusing all contacts with external fuses.

4.2.9 Bypass Contactor Control  
On TE…-BP version (and NEMA 12 enclosed) starters, an internal  
dedicated connection is used at the factory for automatically controlling  
the Bypass Contactor. Field wiring for Bypass Contactor operation is not  
required.  
ƒ
4.2.9.a  
Independent Bypass Contactor Control  
The TE…-BP Series starters use standard industrial contactors that  
can be controlled independent of the starter electronics if  
necessary. When doing so, it is necessary to size the starter based  
upon the ATL (Across-the-Line) selection chart so that the  
contactors are rated for ATL duty instead of the normal Shunt Duty  
(see section 1.2.3). Supplemental overload protection will be  
required (see section 3.1.3.c).  
Units have external terminal blocks marked for this purpose (see  
Appendix 5 for drawings). A dry (voltage free) contact closure  
between these terminals will close the bypass contactor  
immediately. The Bypass Contactor coil voltage is the same as the  
control voltage (120VAC unless the optional 240VAC control is  
specified), and the potential on these terminals is the same as the  
coil voltage.  
No field wiring is necessary to these terminals if this feature is  
not used.  
For all other styles of TE Series, the At-Speed signaling can be  
programmed into any of the three Output relays above (section 4.2.8  
and Table 5.6.10).

Introduction  
It is best to operate the motor at its full load starting conditions to  
achieve the proper time, torque and ramp settings. Initial factory settings  
are set to accommodate general motor applications and provide basic  
motor protection. Advanced features must be enabled via programming.  
The only parameter that MUST be set by the user is motor FLA (F001).  
MOTOR FLA (F001)  
must be programmed  
for unit to operate!

reset can be accomplished this way. A NC remote contact (or push-  
button) can be placed in the control power supply to A1 or A2 and  
opened to facilitate a trip reset. See figure 5.4.5.b for a suggested  
connection.

5.4.5.c  
Automatic Reset  
The TE Series starter provides for automatic reset on certain non-  
critical faults and Over Load. For non-critical fault resets, see  
section 5.6.9 for program details of F052 and F053. For automatic  
Over Load reset, see section 3.1 and 5.6.1 for programming details.  
5.4.5.d  
Lockout Functions  
Lockout functions such as Minimum Time Between Starts and  
Starts per Hour are not true fault conditions. They are based on the  
internal Real Time Clock (RTC). When control power is removed,  
the RTC value is quickly stored. Upon return of power, the timer  
values are updated from the RTC for elapsed time. If the Lockout  
Time has not expired, the TE Series cannot be started. To reset the  
Lockout Times for emergency restart, see section 5.6.12, under  
F071.  
ƒ
5.4.5.e  
Changing to Default Screen During Fault  
In some cases it may be necessary to alter programmed  
parameters in order to test or make changes to clear a fault (such  
as Phase Loss) or to view the more detailed fault history in F085 –  
F097. To accomplish this, you must get to the Status Screen so the  
Fn button becomes active. When in a Fault Screen, pressing the  
Right or Left Arrow buttons will take you to the Status Screen. From  
there, you can hit the [Fn] key to enter the Programming Mode and  
move to different functions.

Function Descriptions  
Your TE Series starter is set at the factory with typical default settings  
that perform well in most applications. Following are detailed  
descriptions of each Function and the factory default settings.  
5.6.1 Motor and Overload Function Descriptions  
F001= Motor FLA  
Factory Setting = 0  
Range = 50 - 100% of Unit Max. Current.  
MOTOR FLA (F001)  
must be programmed  
for unit to operate!  
Set the value of this function to the motor nameplate Full Load  
Amps (FLA). Adjustments for service factor are not necessary  
when programming this function. (See note below). If the motor  
nameplate FLA is not available, use typical values as shown in  
NEC, NEMA standard MG-1 or other reputable third party  
source (motor manufacturer, etc.).  
ƒ
NOTE:  
To prevent adjusting the settings beyond the starter Max Amp  
rating, the range of adjustment for the Motor Nameplate FLA will  
vary in accordance with the Service Factor as programmed into  
F002. At the default setting of 1.0SF, the full range of adjustment  
from 50 - 100% of the Max Amp rating is available. As the Service  
Factor is increased, the FLA range will drop by an equal ratio. For  
example if F002 = 1.15 (a 1.15 Service Factor), the maximum FLA  
programmable into F001 will be limited to 85% of the starter Max.  
Amp rating (100% - 15%).  
F002 = Service Factor  
Factory Setting = 1.0 S.F.  
Range = 1.00 - 1.30  
Set value according to the Service Factor (SF) data provided on  
the motor’s nameplate. This value affects several protection  
features so it must be accurate. Setting the SF too high may  
result in motor damage in an overload condition. Setting SF too  
low may cause nuisance trips however; a 1.0 SF setting is  
safest if SF is unknown.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
The combination of F002 and F001 (FLA x SF) cannot exceed the  
Unit Max Amp rating. If when programming F002 you are not  
allowed to raise the setting, the combined total has been exceeded.  
F003 = Overload Class During Start  
Factory Setting = 10 (Class 10)  
Range = NEMA / UL Class 5 - 20  
Set value to the motor protection overload class required for the  
application. It is recommended that you try the factory setting  
first. (If possible, keep values for F003 and F004 the same.)  
Increase F003 above F004 only if nuisance tripping occurs  
during start. See Section 3.2 for details on trip curves.

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
F004 = Overload Class During Run  
Factory Setting = 10 (Class 10)  
Range = 5 - 30 NEMA / UL Class  
Set value according to the instructions provided by your motor /  
equipment manufacturer. This trip curve will not be enabled until  
the motor has reached full speed.  
F005 = Overload Reset  
Factory Setting = 0 (Manual)  
Range = 0 – 2  
Set value to determine starter behavior after an overload  
condition has cleared.  
When set to 0 = Manual, the operator must press the [RESET]  
key before restarting the motor. Once the motor windings have  
cooled sufficiently AND the [RESET] key is pressed, the unit  
will accept a restart command.  
When set to 1 = Automatic mode, and once sufficient time has  
elapsed allowing motor windings to cool, the motor will be  
restarted upon a start command. If 2-wire control is used, the  
unit will restart immediately.  
When set to 2 = Disabled Overload, the TE Series will not trip  
on Motor Thermal Overload. This is provided for applications  
where either an external Overload Relay or Motor Protection  
Relay is used, or where multiple motors are connected and  
each one requires having an individual Overload Relay. See  
Appendix 5 for more details.  
WARNING  
Setting F005 = 1 (Automatic) may present significant operational risk.  
When F005 = 2 (Disabled Overload), a separate external thermal overload protection device  
must be in the circuit.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
Because of the risk of fire or equipment damage, cycling control  
power will NOT reset an Overload Trip. If F005 = 2 (Automatic  
Reset), cycling control power will allow reset ONLY IF the Thermal  
Register has determined that the motor has regained sufficient  
thermal capacity to allow it to restart successfully.

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
5.6.2 Starting Mode  
The TE Series is capable of several different starting modes, but is set  
from the factory for the most common applications. A second ramp  
profile is available for use should you need it. Unless wired to do so, the  
TE Series defaults to Ramp 1. This section describes functions for  
Ramp 1, with references to function numbers that do the same thing for

This Function selects the type of Ramp Profile desired. Ramp  
profiles can be either Voltage Ramp or Current Ramp. See  
Appendix 2 for details. Each Ramp Profile consists of 3 settings:  
Initial Torque, Ramp Time and Maximum Current Limit.  
Because there are two ramps available, there are 4 settings to  
cover the combinations of profiles possible. If you are not using  
the 2nd ramp, the TE Series will ignore all settings in reference  
to Ramp 2.

Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
F011 = Initial Voltage of Ramp 1  
Factory Setting = 60%  
Range = 0 - 100%  
Sets the initial voltage of ramp 1 when F010 = 1 or 3. The initial  
torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to  
make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque  
shock damage to mechanical components.  
F012 = Initial Current of Ramp 1  
Factory Setting = 200%  
Range = 0 - 600%  
Sets the initial current of ramp 1 (when F010 = 2 or 4). The  
initial torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to  
make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque  
shock damage to mechanical components.  
F013 = Accel Ramp Time of Ramp 1  
Factory Setting = 10 seconds  
Range = 1 - 120 seconds  
Sets the time between the initial torque (set with F011 or F012)  
and either the Max Current Limit (set with F014) or full output  
voltage. Set time to enable soft starts without stalls. Also,  
consider your motor’s application. For example, centrifugal  
pumps may require a shorter ramp time.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
Ramp time is affected by the following conditions:  
1. Current limit will extend the ramp time if the motor does not reach  
full speed while in current limit mode.  
2. Anti-oscillation circuit may shorten the ramp time if the motor  
reaches full speed before end of ramp.  
F014 = Max Current Limit of Ramp 1  
Factory Setting = 350%  
Range = 200 - 600%  
Sets the maximum motor current that the TE Series starter will  
allow during Ramp 1. This limit applies to both voltage and  
current-type ramping. Current will be limited to this setting until  
either the motor reaches full speed or the over load protection  
feature trips (F003).

Ramp 2 (user-optional ramp)  
This ramp is selected by closing the input for Ramp 2, TB1 –  
terminals 5 & 6 (see section 4.2.5). If this input is left open, the TE  
Series will respond only to Ramp 1 settings as listed above. Since  
ramp 2 is always used as an alternate to the default Ramp 1,  
different combinations of ramp profiles can be selected in F010.  
Refer to Appendix 1 for additional information on ramp profiles.  
F015 = Initial Torque (Voltage) of Ramp 2  
Factory Setting = 60%  
Range = 0 - 100%  
Sets the initial voltage of Ramp 2 when F010 = 1 or 4. The  
initial torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to  
make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque  
shock damage to mechanical components.  
F016 = Initial Torque (Current) of Ramp 2  
Factory Setting = 200%  
Range = 0 - 600%  
Sets the initial current of Ramp 2 when F010 = 2 or 3. The initial

make the motor shaft begin to rotate while preventing torque  
shock damage to mechanical components.  
F017 = Accel Ramp Time of Ramp 2  
Factory Setting = 10 seconds  
Range = 1 - 120 seconds  
Sets the time between the initial torque (set with F015 or F016)  
and either the Max Current Limit (set with F018) or full output  
voltage. Set time to enable soft starts without stalls. Also  
consider your motor’s application. For example, centrifugal  
pumps may require a shorter time. See NOTE under F013 for  
more details.  
F018 = Max Current Limit of Ramp 2  
Factory Setting = 350%  
Range = 200 - 600%  
Sets the maximum motor current that the TE Series starter will  
allow during ramp 2. (This limit applies to both voltage and  
current-type ramping.) Current will be limited to this setting until  
either the motor reaches full speed or the over load protection  
feature trips (F003).

Jog Mode  
The Jog Function is another user optional feature and is controlled by  
closing the input on TB1 Terminals 6 and 7. If this input is left open, the  
TE Series will ignore all Jog settings. Engaging the Jog feature along  
with the Start / Run Command provides an output from the SCRs, but  
will not continue ramping to full acceleration. This feature can Jog the  
motor at either a preset Voltage (F019 – F021) or a preset Current  
(F021) depending upon the settings of the Ramp Type from F010, and  
can be initiated along with Ramp 1 or Ramp 2 (see Dual Ramp Select,  
Section 4.2.5 and 5.6.2.a). It is also sometimes useful to use Jog in  
combination with Ramp 2, see section 4.2.5.c.

the torque output stays low for a short time. To take advantage of  
this feature, simply set the Kick Start to the same level as the Initial  
Torque setting. This will only work in Voltage Ramp mode.

5.6.5 Pump-Flex® Decel Mode (F025 through F028)  
Pump-Flex® deceleration is a feature of the TE Series Soft Starter that  
slowly decreases the applied voltage to the motor when a stop  
command is given, resulting in a gentle decrease in motor torque.  
Deceleration provides a way to extend the stopping time so that abrupt  
stopping does not occur. Deceleration is useful with centrifugal pumps,  
material handlers, and conveyors where abrupt stopping could be  
damaging to the equipment and/or load.  
SEE APPENDIX 2 AT THE END OF THIS MANUAL for typical Pump-  
Flex® Decel feature applications and more detailed descriptions of the  
following functions.  
F024 = Deceleration Ramp  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 0 – 2  
When F024 = 0, the deceleration feature is disabled.  
When F024 = 1, the deceleration feature is enabled AND the overload  
protection feature (from F003 - F005) remains active (power off  
on OL trip).  
When F024 = 2, the deceleration feature is enabled and deceleration  
will continue even when an overload condition trips.  
WARNING  
Setting F025 = 2 presents significant risk of over-heating the motor beyond its design limits  
which could result in motor damage and fire hazard. Do this only in circumstances where  
the potential for mechanical damage outweighs the risk of motor damage.

Decel is THE OPPOSITE of braking. Enabling the Decel feature will make the motor take  
LONGER to stop than if it were simply turned off.  
5.6.6 Restart Delay  
The TE Series can be programmed to delay restarting upon restoration  
of line power after an outage. This allows multiple units to be  
programmed to restart at staggered times in an effort to avoid causing  
additional problems with the power supply system. Another term for this  
is “Sequential Start Delay”.  
F028 = Restart Delay Time  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 0 = Disabled (no delay), or 1 - 999 seconds  
Sets a delay time before the starter can be restarted after a  
complete loss of power. Use this if multiple motors are  
connected to a supply system that may have trouble providing  
adequate power to restart them all at the same time. By using  
different Restart Delay Times on each unit, a sequential restart  
can be achieved.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
This is similar to the Coast Down Lockout Timer in F048, however it  
only activates on Power Loss.

5.6.7 Process Timer Control Mode (F030 through F039):  
The following special functions allow the TE Series starter to operate  
automatically from a Process Control Timer using an internal Real Time  
Clock.  
Only brief descriptions of the functions are provided here.  
REFER TO APPENDIX 4 at the end of this manual for detailed  
operations and instructions.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
These functions may interact with the Coast Down Lockout (F048),  
Starts-per-Hour Lockout (F049), Minimum Time Between Starts  
(F050), Auto-Reset (F052 and 53) and Restart Delay Time (F028)  
functions if enabled. Be sure to review and understand settings for  
these functions before using the Process Timer.  
F030 = Process Control Timer Selection  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 0, 1, 2  
This function enables a Process Control Timer, which may be  
used alone or in conjunction with the Time Clock Controller  
feature (F032-F039). This timer offers two operating modes,  
selected by entering 1 or 2 into the function parameter:  
Setting 1 = Minimum (Batch) Run Timer: After a Start  
Command, the starter runs until the batch timer expires. If  
stopped and restarted it will complete that batch time sequence.  
Setting 2 = Permissive Run Timer. After a Start Event from  
the TCC, the starter can be started and stopped as necessary,  
until the timer expires.  
F031 = Process Timer Value  
Factory Setting = 1  
Range = 1 – 9999 minutes  
This function loads a value into the Process Timer above. When  
initialized, the value counts down towards 0.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
The above Process Control Timer in F030 – F031 works in  
conjunction with the Time Clock Controller in F032 – F039. When  
the TCC is set to One-Shot (F032 = 0), this timer will activate  
whenever a Start Command is given. When F032 = any other  
setting, this timer activates according to that schedule.

F032 = Real Time Clock Controller  
Factory Setting = 0 (One Shot)  
Range = 0 - 8 settings  
This function is used to select the operating mode of the 24hr /  
7 Day Time Clock Controller (TCC). F032 sets the number of  
days in which the TCC will repeat the Start Event Cycle of up to  
seven discrete Start Events selected in F033 through F039.  
After each Start Event, the TE Series will run per the time value  
set in F030 above. If F030 = 0, the TCC settings are ignored.  
See Appendix 4 for additional details.  
1 = 1 day per week,  
2 = 2 days per week  
7 = 7 days per week  
8 = A single 24HR event, non-repeating  
0 = One-Shot. When set to 0, the TE Series responds only to  
each Start input command. Use this setting to allow the Process  
Timer to operate without the TCC (see Appendix 4 if F030=2).  
F033 = Event #1 Start Time  
Factory Setting = OFF  
Range = 00:00 through 23:59, or OFF  
This function is used to select the start time for Event #1 in the  
RTCC above. Once started by this event, the TE will run the  
motor according to the selections entered into F030 and F031.  
F034 = Event #2 Start Time  
Factory Setting = OFF  
Range = 00:00 through 23:59, or OFF  
This function is used to select the start time for Event #2 in the  
TCC above.  
F035 = Event #3 Start Time  
Factory Setting = OFF  
Range = 00:00 through 23:59, or OFF  
This function is used to select the start time for Event #3 in the

F040 – F050 set extended protection features that may be used in the  
TE Series starter. Percentages shown are all based automatically upon  
the Motor FLA setting from F001 (except Ground Fault, F046). No  
additional calculations are necessary.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
All of these features are disabled at the factory and must be  
enabled via user programming as follows:  
F040 = Current Imbalance Trip  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 5 - 30% or 0 (Disabled)  
Use to set the trip level for when current imbalance between  
any two phases exceeds this amount for the time specified with  
F041.  
F041 = Current Imbalance Trip Delay  
Factory Setting = 2 seconds  
Range = 1 - 20 seconds  
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short-  
duration transients. Using default settings, if the difference in  
output current between two phases exceeds 10% of FLA for  
more than 2 seconds, the starter will trip.  
F042 = Over Current Trip / Shear Pin Trip  
Over Current Trip  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
F042: O. C.  
Trip Setting  
Range = 100 - 300%, 0 (Disabled)  
When a value other than 0 is entered for F042, the starter will  
trip when the output current of any phase exceeds the amount  
set and the time specified in F043. This is also referred to as a  
“Shear Pin Trip” and can be used to protect mechanical  
components from breaking due to jammed loads.

5.6.8.a  
Ground Fault  
F046 – F047 provides Ground Fault protection for equipment only  
(a.k.a. Arcing Ground Fault) using the Residual Current method.  
Trip settings are based on the CT ratio as shown in F074 (see  
below). A delay time is available in F047 to help prevent nuisance  
trips. Ground current can always be viewed in the Status Display,  
shown with a “G” prefix (see section 5.3.1).  
WARNING  
THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS "PERSONNEL PROTECTION" GROUND FAULT!  
This feature is only intended to provide a level of equipment protection against damaging  
ground currents. Ground faults are potentially dangerous conditions and must be  
corrected immediately for safety of operating personnel.  
F046 = Ground Fault Trip  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 5 - 90% of CT value, or 0 (Disabled)  
When a value other than 0 is entered for F046, the starter will  
trip if current to ground exceeds this percentage of the unit CT  
value. The CT value is shown in F074 (see section 5.6.12). This  
value is different from the Unit Rating or FLA setting. To  
calculate actual ground current, multiply the CT value of F074  
by the setting of F046.  
Example:  
210A starter, desired Ground Fault Trip level is 20A:  
On this unit, the CT value reading from F074 will be 250 (250:5)  
20 / 250 = 0.08 (8%)  
Set F046 to 8  
F047 = Ground Fault Trip Delay  
Factory Setting = 2 seconds  
Range = 1 - 60 seconds  
Provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips from short-  
duration transients. Using default setting, if the Ground Fault  
current exceeds the level set in F046 for more than 2 seconds,  
the starter will trip.  
CAUTION  
This method of Ground Fault sensing may not provide adequate  
equipment protection in resistance-grounded systems. We  
recommend providing external GF protection using a core  
balanced Zero Sequence CT for those types of applications.  
Consult factory for additional assistance.

5.6.9 Lockouts, Reset and Internal Protection Features  
F048 – F050 provide lockout protection for motors and equipment that  
may have potentially damaging consequences from premature restart or  
with limited duty cycles. Time and count values for these lockouts can  
be viewed in F055 – F058. Time values are based on the Real Time  
Clock and DONOT reset when power is lost or disconnected.  
Emergency clearing of lockouts can be accomplished in F071.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
When F048 through F050 are used with 3 wire control systems, a  
Start command will not seal in during lockout time. When time has  
expired, a new Start command will be necessary.  
WARNING  
When F048 through F050 are used with 2-wire control, the starter may re-start  
automatically when time has expired. Adequate warnings similar to those in Section  
3.1.3.b should be observed.  
F048 = Coast Down Lockout Timer (Back Spin Timer)  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 1 - 60 minutes, or 0 (Disabled)  
When F048 = 1 through 60, this sets the number of minutes that  
the starter must be off before a restart can be attempted. This  
function is useful in applications such as pump motor backspin  
protection (where you need to prevent the pump motor from  
restarting if it is spinning backwards), 2 speed operations where  
speed changes require a minimum disconnect (spin-down  
timer), or reversing applications to prevent plugging (anti-  
plugging timer).  
Figure 5.6.9:  
Coast Down Lockout Timer  
F049 = Maximum Starts per Hour Lockout  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 1 – 10 or 0 (Disabled)  
If F049=1 through 10, this feature will count the number of start  
commands within a 1 hour period. If the setting (maximum  
starts per hour) is exceeded, starting is prohibited until sufficient  
time has expired. This timer initiates upon the first start in an

subsequent start to initiate again. (Often used in conjunction  
with F050).

NOTE:  
Consult the motor manufacturer for a “Starts-per-Hour” or “Starting  
Duty Cycle” rating. Larger motors tend to have lower starts-per-hour  
ratings.

Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
F050 = Minimum Time Between Starts Lockout  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 1 - 60 minutes, or 0 (Disabled)  
When F050 is set to 1 through 60, the motor cannot be  
restarted within the time specified after the first start. Time  
between starts is calculated from the time of the first start  
command to the next regardless of run time or off time.  
Example:  
If F050 = 15, motor will not be allowed to re-start within 15  
minutes of first start.  
This function is useful as a “Short-Cycle Timer” in preventing  
excessive wear on motors where automatic demand control  
may occasionally cycle on and off too quickly, such as  
compressors or sump pumps

Internal Protection Features  
The TE Series starter contains additional protection features that  
are built-into the hardware and factory preset. Function F051 is  
provided to alter these settings via numerical preset programming.  
For maximum protection, all of these features are turned On as a  
factory default and should be left that way unless changes are  
necessary for service purposes, testing or to accommodate non-  
standard applications. Factory default settings are as follows:  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Phase Rotation: Protection is ON,  
expected rotation sequence is set for A-B-C  
Phase Current Loss (Running): Protection is ON, trips at <20% of  
unit Max amps after 3 seconds of acceleration and at full speed.  
Shorted SCR: Protection is ON, unit will lock out if one SCR is  
shorted (no voltage drop across the SCR)  
Shunt Trip: Protection is ON; unit trips if current flows in any phase  
while in OFF mode.  
PTC Trip: Protection is ON; unit will trip if PTC Input resistance  
exceeds set value (or open).  
Line Phase Loss (Stopped): Protection is ON; unit will trip if any  
line voltage is not present while the unit is not accelerating or  
stopped.  
F051 = Internal Protection Features  
Factory Setting = 127 (all enabled)  
Range = 1 – 127: Numeric value representing bit locations  
F051 represents the numeric value of a byte (8 bits) of memory  
which enables or disables these features. Each bit within that  
byte acts like a “dip switch” to alter the associated feature, but  
instead of having to open the starter case, changes can be  
done via the keypad. Each function has a fixed numeric decimal  
value associated with it. Adding or subtracting decimal values to  
this function changes the binary (On-Off) status of each bit and  
is simply done by entering the new value into F051. The Factory  
Default value is F051 = 0127, which has all features On.  
Numeric values for each feature are as follows:

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
Phase Rotation Protection:  
The TE Series is set up to monitor an expected Phase Rotation and trip  
if it changes. Control of this is divided into two categories: On-Off and  
Expected Sequence. The default setting is On, with and Expected  
Sequence of A-B-C rotation.  
The ability to turn this feature ON or OFF is useful in applications where  
the TE Series starter is going to be used downstream from an existing  
reversing contactor / starter, or to avoid conflicts with other protection  
devices.  
ƒ
Rotation Trip On-Off Control Numeric value = 1.  
If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,  
Subtract 1 from F051  
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 1 to F051  
When set to On, a trip will occur when the Expected Sequence (see  
below) is wrong.  
On large motors where large multiple conductors are used, it may be  
easier to change the Expected Sequence in the TE Series starter rather  
than swap the conductors.  
ƒ
Expected Phase Rotation Sequence Numeric Value = 2  
If A-B-C rotation is the expected sequence (default setting) and you  
want it to be A-C-B, subtract 2 from F051  
If A-C-B rotation is the expected sequence and you want it to be  
A-B-C, add 2 to F051  
If Rotation Trip is set to Off (see above), this setting is ignored.  
Phase Current Loss (Running) Protection:  
This feature will cause a Trip if current in any phase (or all 3) is less  
than 20% of the unit maximum amp rating after 3 seconds from a Start  
Command (note that this is based on the Max Amp rating and not the  
programmed FLA). Turn it to OFF if the motor no-load current is  
exceptionally low such as in high inertia machines, or if you are testing  
a large starter with a small motor.  
ƒ
Phase Loss (Running) Protection Numeric Value = 4  
If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,  
Subtract 4 from F051  
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 4 to F051  
Shorted SCR Lockout protection:  
This feature will cause a Lockout if at least one SCR is shorted, based  
on the expected voltage drop across the SCR assembly when the unit is  
OFF (a shorted SCR cannot be detected while the unit is running or in  
Bypass mode). If someone who understands the ramifications of having  
a shorted SCR issue requires an emergency restart, this feature can be  
turned to OFF. This is not the same as a Shunt Trip circuit (see below).  
This is a lockout of the NEXT start command.  
ƒ
Shorted SCR Lockout Numeric Value = 8  
If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,  
Subtract 8 from F051  
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 8 to F051

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
Shunt Trip:  
Shunt Trip is a feature that will cause an immediate Trip if the TE Series  
detects current flowing through any phase (or all) when it is supposed to  
be off. The trip function is typically associated with Aux. Relay setting 7  
(see F060-63), wired to a Shunt Trip coil in an upstream circuit breaker  
or an in-line contactor. This is so that power flow to the motor windings  
can be interrupted to prevent damage. The usual cause is multiple  
shorted SCRs or a welded Bypass Contactor. The only time this should  
be turned off is for troubleshooting by Service personnel.  
ƒ
Shunt Trip Numeric Value = 16  
If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,  
Subtract 16 from F051  
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 16 to F051  
PTC Trip:  
This feature controls the inclusion of the PTC Input (see Section 4.2.7).  
When ON (default setting), a jumper wire or other circuit must be  
installed on the PTC input if a PTC resistor is not included in the motor.  
Turn this feature to OFF for troubleshooting or if you do not want to  
worry about the jumper wire.  
ƒ
PTC Trip Numeric Value = 32  
If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,  
Subtract 32 from F051  
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 32 to F051  
Line Phase Loss (Stopped) Trip:  
This feature will prevent the TE Series starter from attempting to start if  
voltage in one (or more) of the incoming lines is not present. This can  
be used to detect a blown fuse or power supply loss (as long as control  
power is still available). It differs from the Phase Loss (Running) Trip  
above in that it is based upon line voltage so does not require that a  
Start Command be given. This trip function resets itself after  
determining that all 3 phases have voltage applied. The voltage level at  
which this feature activates is fixed at approximately 100VAC, but is not  
adjustable and should not be used as Under Voltage protection.  
ƒ
Line Phase Loss (Stopped) Trip Numeric Value = 64  
If this feature is On (default setting) and you want to turn it Off,  
Subtract 64 from F051  
If this feature is Off and you want to turn it On, add 64 to F051  
ƒ
NOTE:  
1) When using an In-Line Isolation Contactor, it may be necessary  
to defeat this protection (by subtracting a numeric value of 64 from  
F051) in order to avoid nuisance tripping whenever the In-Line  
Contactor opens.  
2) This protection will automatically reset itself when line voltage is  
present on all 3 phases. When using 3-wire control the TE Series  
will not attempt restarting unless the Start Command is reinitiated.  
CAUTION  
ƒ
When using 2-wire control, the starter will restart when this  
feature resets itself after all 3 phases are present.

NOTE:  
To restore all settings back to the factory default, enter a value of  
127. If you see a numeric value other than the default value of 127,  
one or more features has already been altered. If you do not know  
which one or ones are changed, the simplest thing to do is  
determine what combination of settings you want now, and subtract  
from 127 then enter that number to accomplish it.  
Example: F051 reads a numeric value of 109, meaning that something  
has been changed, but you don’t know what. By subtracting 109  
from 127, you have a value of 18 remaining, and since 18 does not  
represent a single bit, it means that some combination has been  
used. Subtract the largest represented bit, i.e. bit #4 (value of 16),  
which leaves a value of 2, representing bit #1. So in this example,  
the Shunt Trip feature had been turned off, and the Expected Phase  
Sequence had been changed to A-C-B.  
If you do not wish to bother with what the previous settings were,  
simply decide which features you now want to be turned on and  
come up with a new numeric value to enter. For instance if you want  
all features on, but you need phase rotation to be A-C-B (bit #1),  
then simple subtract a value of 2 from 127, and enter 125 into F051.

Auto-Reset Programming (F052 – F054)  
The TE Series can be programmed to automatically attempt to  
reset after selected faults, provided a Start Command is present  
(see Section 4.2) and the fault condition has been corrected. The  
Fault Events to attempt restarting (F052) and number of reset  
attempts (F053) are programmable as follows. If F053 is set to 0  
(default setting), the TE Series will not attempt to restart  
automatically.  
NOTE:  
When using 3 wire control:  
For safety reasons the TE Series will not attempt restarting unless  
the Start Command is reinitiated and maintained during a restart  
attempt.

Communications  
The TE Series starter is shipped from the factory ready to accept  
RS-485 Serial Communications using Modbus RTU protocol. Additional  
detailed instructions on accomplishing communications are available in  
a Serial Communication Supplement to this manual. F065 – F067 are  
used to set the communications parameters in the starter for use by the  
adaptor module. F068 determines how the Start / Stop functions work  
through the comm. port.  
F065 = Communications  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 0 – 2  
This enables serial communications with remote monitoring and  
control systems and sets the format for Modbus RTU protocol.  
Once Enabled, the local start / stop inputs are altered to avoid  
inadvertent starting. See F068 for details.  
When F065 = 0, communications are disabled.  
When F065 = 1, uses the std 11 bit Modbus format w/ parity bit.  
When F065 = 2, a non-standard 10-bit format without a parity  
bit is used to accommodate some systems using this method.  
F066 = Baud Rate  
Factory Setting = 9.6 KB  
Range = 4.8 to 19.2 KB  
Set value to either 4.8 KB, 9.6 KB or 19.2 KB and match the  
setting of the host device.  
F067 = Modbus Address  
Factory Setting = 1  
Range = 1 – 247  
The Modbus communications protocol allows each node to  
have up to 247 connected devices but each must have a unique  
address. Two devices with the same address will result in a  
communications error.  
F068 = Remote Starter Control  
Factory Setting = 0 (disabled)  
Range = 0 – 3  
Use this to program how the TE Series starter is to be  
controlled when using serial communications.  
When F068 = 0, the starter can be monitored by the Comm  
port, but not controlled.  
Special Note when using Serial Comm:  
When F068 = 3, the function of the Jog /  
Remote Input on TB-1 terminals 7 and 8 will  
change. Closing the Input will cause the  
Comm. port control to function as per setting  
1. Leaving the input open will cause the  
Comm. port to function as per setting 0.  
When F068 = 1, the starter will be controlled by the comm port.  
In addition, the Start / Stop inputs are altered as follows: The  
hard-wired Start command is put in “AND” logic with the Comm  
port; both Start commands must be on for the TE to start. The  
Stop function is put in “OR” logic; either the Comm. port Stop  
command OR the hard-wired Stop will cause the TE to stop.  
When F068 = 2, the TE starter is in full control of the Comm.  
port only. Local Start / Stop inputs become completely inactive.  
Use this function only when controlled shutdown is a priority.  
When F068 = 3, the TE starter will change the function of the  
Jog / Remote Input to cause a switch between the functions of  
setting 0 and setting 1 as listed above. When the input is open,  
the starter will respond to the Comm port as per setting 0  
above. When the Jog / Remote Input is closed, the starter will  
respond as per setting 1 above. Use this function if it is  
necessary to have a return to local start/stop control should the  
communications system fail or become disconnected.  
When F068 = 1, 2 or 3, the Jog function will  
cease to operate. Since Jogging is a local  
function, set F068 to 0 when using it.

When F071 = 0, the feature is disabled.  
When F071 = 1, the values stored in the Thermal Register and all of

restart without having to wait for proper cool down time or lockout  
timers to expire.  
WARNING  
Clearing the Thermal Register to allow restarting without proper cool-down time after an  
Overload Trip will risk motor damage and fire. Use only where emergency restart is  
necessary with knowledge of these potential hazards.  
ƒ
When F071 = 2, the values of all functions will be reset to the  
factory default settings. Use this feature when settings conflict or  
have been tampered with. This is also useful when you lose track of  
experimental settings and wish to start over. It will also be used to  
clear the Fault History.

Testing with a smaller motor  
ƒ
To test the TE Series starter with a motor which will draw less than  
20% of the unit Max Amp rating, you must disable the Phase  
Current Loss (Running) protection as per instructions in section  
5.6.9.a. If this feature is not disabled, the TE Series will give a  
Phase Loss Trip after running for 3 seconds at low currents.  
Chapter 7 - Fault Conditions  
Additional information on Fault Codes and possible causes can be  
found in the Service and Troubleshooting Guide.  
7.1 Fault Codes and Numbers (in History)  
A three-character fault code is displayed in the LED display at the time  
of the trip event. The first two digits indicate the trip condition (see Table  
7.1). The third digit is a suffix showing the TE Series operating mode  
when the trip occurred. Operating modes are as follows:  
Code suffix “A”: Acceleration, meaning that the TE Series was  
ramping up but had not yet achieved “At-Speed” status (see section  
4.2.9.b for a brief description of At-Speed indication).  
Code suffix “c”: Constant Speed (running), meaning that the TE  
Series has reached the At-Speed condition and the motor was running  
when the trip occurred.  
Code suffix “d”: Decel or Stop, meaning that TE Series was either  
stopped (off, but power applied), or if the Pump-Flex Decel function was  
enabled, it was engaged in the Soft Stop routine set up by F024-27.  
IMPORTANT NOTE:  
Fault code SSd may display if there is no output load connection  
when control power is applied!  
In addition to these fault display codes, each trip condition has a  
corresponding numeric code that is stored in the Fault History (see  
section 5.6.13.a). These numeric codes follow the display codes  
exactly. The following Table 7.1 shows Fault Display Codes, Fault  
Number Codes, LED indicators that would come on with them and  
descriptions. Additional details are available in the Service and  
Troubleshooting Guide.  
Example: If Function F003 (starting overload protection) is set too low  
for the size of the load and causes a trip, the code “oLA” will be  
displayed. Its corresponding number will be entered into the fault  
history. In this case, the number 0010 will be available for display in the  
window of function F085 (Fault History). The time the fault was detected  
is available in Function F086. It is expressed as hh.mm. Therefore, if the  
“oLA” fault occurred at 10:00 am, F086 would display 10.00. The date  
the fault occurred is available in Function F087. The date is expressed  
as mm.dd. If the “oLA” fault occurred on March 1, F077 would display  
03.01. If there were no fault conditions in history, the display in F085  
would read 0000.

Appendix 1 - Ramp Profile Details  
The TE Series offers four different types of starting ramp profiles.  
Simply select the one that best matches your motor / load requirements.  
In addition, two separate ramps are available that can be selected via  
contact closure (see section 4.2.5.a), and each one can be set up for  
any ramp type as shown in the table below.

Table APP 1.1: Ramp Selection Choices and Settings  
Following are descriptions of the four types of Ramp Profiles  
1. Voltage Ramping is the most reliable starting method, since at some  
point the starter will reach an output voltage high enough to allow the  
motor to draw full current and develop full torque. This method is useful  
for applications where the load conditions change frequently and  
significantly enough to require different levels of starting torque.  
Examples where this is effective are:  
Full Speed  
Initial Torque  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Material handling conveyers  
Positive displacement pumps  
Drum mixers, grinders etc.  
Ramp Time  
Time  
Voltage is increased from a starting point (Initial Torque) to full voltage  
over an adjustable time period (Ramp Time). To achieve Voltage  
Ramping, set the Ramp Profile (F010) to 0001 or 0003 (Voltage Ramp),  
and the Maximum Current Limit setting (F014) to maximum (600%).  
Since this is essentially Locked Rotor Current on most motors, there will  
be little or no Current Limit effect on the Ramp profile. Initial Torque  
setting comes from the Initial Voltage function F011.  
Figure APP 1.1:  
Voltage Ramp w/o Current Limit  
2. Voltage Ramping with Current Limit works similarly to the above,  
except adds an adjustable maximum current output. Voltage is  
increased gradually until the Maximum Current Limit setting (F014) is  
reached, then held at this level until the motor accelerates to full speed.  
Then as the current drops below the limit setting, voltage is  
automatically increased to maximize torque until the TE Series is At-  
Speed. This may be necessary in applications where the electrical  
power is limited. Examples would be:  
Full Speed  
Initial Torque  
Current  
Limit Setting  
Ramp Time  
ƒ
ƒ
Portable or emergency generator supplies  
Utility power near the end of a transmission line or other starting  
power demand restrictions.  
Time  
Using Current Limit will override the Ramp Time setting if necessary, so  
use this feature when acceleration time is not critical. The Ramp Time  
setting however still determines the slope of the ramp up to the Current  
Limit setting to apply the softest possible acceleration. To achieve  
Voltage Ramping with Current Limit, set the Ramp Profile (F010) to  
0001 or 0003 (Voltage Ramp), and the Maximum Current Limit setting  
(F014) to a desired lower setting, as determined by your application  
requirements.

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
3. Closed Loop Current (Torque) Ramping is good for smooth linear  
acceleration of output torque. Ramp Time becomes the time from Initial  
Torque and Current Limit settings. Output torque is constantly updated  
using an internal PID feedback loop to provide a linear ramp, and  
therefore the available torque is maximized at any given speed. The  
best use of this feature is for applications where rapid changes in torque  
may result in load damage or equipment changes. Examples would be:  
Current Limit  
Initial Torque  
ƒ
ƒ
Long overland conveyors where belt stretching may occur.  
Ramp Time  
At  
Speed  
Low pressure pumps where slight surges at the end-of-ramp may  
pose mechanical problems.  
Time  
ƒ
ƒ
Fans and mixers where blade warping is a problem.  
Figure APP 1.3:  
Current / Torque Ramp  
Material handling systems where stacked products may fall over or  
break.  
This feature can be used with or without the Maximum Current Limit  
setting.  
To achieve Torque Ramping with the TE Series, set the Ramp Profile  
(F010) to 0002 or 0004 (Current Ramp), and the Maximum Current Limit  
setting (F014) to the desired level. Initial Torque setting comes from the  
Initial Current function F012.  
4. Current Limit Only (Current Step) starting means using the Current  
Limit feature exclusively without the benefit of soft starting by ramping  
the voltage or current first (also known as Pedestal Starting). This will  
maximize the effective application of motor torque within the limits of the  
motor. In this mode, Initial Torque is set to maximum and Ramp Time is  
set to minimum, so the output current jumps to the Current Limit setting  
immediately. Examples of when to use this mode are:  
Current Limit  
Initial Torque  
ƒ
ƒ
Applications with a severely limited power supply  
At  
Speed  
When starting a difficult load such as a centrifuge or deep well  
pump  
Time  
ƒ
When the motor capacity is barely adequate without stalling or  
overloading.  
Figure APP 1.4:  
Current Step Starting  
ƒ
It is a good choice when other starting modes fail.  
Since ramp times are set to minimum, this mode functions in either  
Voltage Ramp or Current Ramp setting.  
Ramp Parameter Descriptions  
Following are detailed descriptions of the individual settings that make  
up each ramp profile.  
Initial Torque (Initial Voltage or Initial Current).  
These functions set the initial start point of either the Voltage Ramp or  
Current Ramp as programmed in F010. Every load requires at least  
some amount of torque to start from a standstill. It is not efficient to  
begin ramping the motor from zero every time, since between zero and  
the (WK2) breakaway torque level, no useful work is being performed.  
The initial torque level should be set to provide just enough torque to  
make the motor shaft begin to rotate, enabling the softest possible start  
and preventing torque shock damage to the mechanical components.  
Setting this function too high will not damage the starter, but may  
reduce or eliminate the soft start advantages.

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
Accel Ramp Time. This Function sets the maximum allowable time for  
ramping from the Initial Torque setting to either of the following:  
1) Current limit setting when the motor is still accelerating, or  
2) Full output voltage if the Current Limit is set to maximum.  
Increasing the Ramp Time softens the start process by lowering the  
slope of increase in voltage or current. This should be set to provide the  
softest possible start without stalling unless you have determined that  
your application has other considerations. Applications where this  
setting should be shorter include Centrifugal Pumps, because pump  
problems may occur as a result of insufficient torque during acceleration  
through the pump curve.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
Ramp Time is affected by the following conditions:  
1. Current Limit will automatically override the Ramp Time if set to  
Voltage Ramp (F010=1) and if the motor does not reach full  
speed while in current limit mode.  
2. An “Anti-Oscillation” circuit built-in to the TE Series will shorten  
the Ramp Time if the motor reaches full speed before end of  
ramp.  
Current Limit. This Function sets the maximum motor current that the  
starter allows during Ramping. It is active in both the Voltage Ramp and  
Current Ramp modes. As the motor begins to ramp, this feature will set  
a ceiling at which the current draw will be held. Current Limit will remain  
in effect until one of the following two events occur:  
1. The motor reaches full speed as detected by the At-Speed  
detection circuit.  
2. The Overload Protection trips on Motor Thermal Overload (see  
Ch.3).  
Once the motor has reached full speed, the Current Limit feature  
becomes inactive.  
ƒ
In the Voltage Ramp Profile, the Voltage output is increased until  
the Current Limit is reached. The Ramp Time is the maximum time  
it will take for the voltage to increase until the Current Limit setting  
takes over. Under some load conditions, Current Limit may be  
reached before the Ramp Time has expired.  
ƒ
In the Current Ramp Profile, output voltage varies to provide a  
linear increase in current up to the Current Limit setting, and Ramp  
Time is the time that it will take to get there. A closed loop feedback  
of motor current allows continuous updating of the output to  
maintain this ramp profile.  
Because most AC induction motors will not start below 200% current,  
the current limit set point is adjustable down to only 200%.  
CAUTION  
While in the Start mode there is no maximum Current Limit time.  
Excessive start time may lead to motor stalling, causing an  
Overload Trip. If this happens, try raising the Current Limit setting  
to accommodate your load conditions. If the Current Limit setting  
cannot be increased, try using Current Limit without ramping  
features (“Current Limit Only” as described previously).

Appendix 2: Pump-Flex® Decel Mode Application Considerations  
Pump-Flex® Deceleration (Soft Stop) is a unique feature of Toshiba  
Solid State Soft Starters. It provides a slow decrease in the output  
voltage, accomplishing a gentle decrease in motor torque during the  
Coast-to-Stop  
(using Electro-Mech. starter)  
stopping mode. This is the OPPOSITE OF BRAKING in that it will take  
longer to come to a stop than if the starter were just turned off.  
Pump On  
Pump Flow  
Check Valve  
The primary use of this function is with centrifugal pumps as a means to  
reduce the sudden changes in pressure that are associated with “Water  
Hammer” and slamming of check valves. Decel control in pump  
applications is often referred to as Pump Control.  
Open  
In a pump system, liquid is being pushed uphill. The force exerted by  
gravity on the column of liquid as it goes up hill is called the “Head  
Pressure” in the system. The pump is sized to provide enough Output  
Pressure to overcome the Head Pressure and move the fluid up the  
pipe. When the pump is turned off, the Output Pressure rapidly drops to  
zero and the Head Pressure takes over to send the fluid back down the  
hill. A “Check Valve” is used somewhere in the system to prevent this (if  
necessary) by only allowing the liquid to flow in one direction.  
Pump Off  
Back Flow  
Check Valve  
Slams  
Kinetic energy in that moving fluid is suddenly trapped when the valve  
slams closed. Since fluids can’t compress, that energy is transformed  
into a “Shock Wave” that travels through the piping system looking for  
an outlet in which to dissipate. The sound of that shock wave is referred  
to as “Water Hammer”. The energy in that shock wave can be extremely  
damaging to pipes, fittings, flanges, seals and mounting systems.

SOLUTION:  
By using the Pump-Flex® Decel feature of the TE Series, the pump  
output torque is gradually and gently reduced, which slowly reduces the  
pressure in the pipe. When the Pump Output Pressure is just slightly  
lower than the System Head Pressure, the flow slowly reverses and  
closes the Check Valve. By this time there is very little energy left in the  
moving fluid and the Shock Wave is avoided. When the output voltage  
to the motor is low enough to no longer be needed, the TE Series will  
end the Pump-Flex® Decel cycle and turn itself off.

Setup and Use  
Pump systems vary greatly. To accommodate this, the Pump-Flex®  
Decel control feature is designed to provide complete flexibility in how  
the deceleration process takes place by using the following settings.  
Decel begins when a Stop command is given (or the Run command is  
removed). If there is a Bypass Contactor, it will open immediately,  
putting the power control back to the SCRs.

F024 = Deceleration Ramp  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 0 – 2  
When F024 = 0, the deceleration feature is disabled.  
When F024 = 1, the deceleration feature is enabled AND the overload  
protection feature (from F003 - F005) remains active. When a  
Stop command is given, the starter begins to apply Decel  
voltage. However, if an overload trip occurs, the starter ceases  
applying Decel voltage and the motor coasts to a stop to  
prevent additional motor heating and potential motor damage.  
When F024 = 2, the deceleration feature is enabled and deceleration  
will continue even when an overload condition trips. This is  
to be used only when the risk of damage due to an uncontrolled  
shutdown is considered worse than the potential damage to the  
motor.  
WARNING  
Setting F025 = 2 presents significant risk of over-heating  
the motor beyond its design limits which could result in  
motor damage and fire hazard. Do this only in  
circumstances where the potential for mechanical damage  
outweighs the risk of motor damage.

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
ALWAYS shuts the starter down WITHOUT Decel (as in setting 1  
above) even if F025 is set to 2.  
F025 = Begin Decel Level (BDL)  
Factory Setting = 60%  
Range = 0 - 100% of line voltage  
Use to drop voltage to a level where there is a noticeable effect  
on motor torque during Decel mode. Generally, systems with  
high head pressure need to start Decel near the top of the ramp  
(85-95%). Low head systems can drop to lower settings (50-  
60%). System conditions vary greatly by pump type, pipe size  
and system head. Some experimentation with settings may be  
necessary.  
F026 = Decel Shut Off Voltage  
Factory Setting = 30%  
Range = 0 to (BDL -1)%  
Sets the level where the starter is turned off, corresponding to  
where motor torque during Decel is no longer effective. Always  
set this function lower than the setting of F026, Begin Decel  
Level (this function is restricted from being less than F026  
minus 1%). This function is used to shut the motor off once the  
check valve closes. Again, because systems vary greatly this  
setting may require adjustment several times. If you cannot  
hear or see the check valve close, observe fluid pressure or  
flow if available.  
F027 = Decel Ramp Time  
Factory Setting = 10 seconds  
Range = 1 - 60 seconds  
Sets the maximum time for the deceleration ramp to go from the  
Begin Decel Level setting (F026) to the Decel Shut Off Voltage  
(F027). This function is used to dampen the effect of reducing  
pump torque as much as possible. If the check valve still slams  
at the end of ramp, try extending this time function a little. Since  
motor heating increases as voltage is lowered, the setting  
should not exceed the time necessary to achieve the  
deceleration effect.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
When using the Decel function, count these cycles as additional  
“starts” when determining maximum starts-per-hour.  
Other Applications:  
Another common application for Decel control is on material handling  
conveyors as a means to prevent sudden stops that may cause  
products to shift, fall over or to bump into one another.  
In overhead crane applications, Soft Stopping of the Bridge or Trolley  
can prevent loads from beginning to over swing on sudden stops.

Appendix 3: Parameter Lock / User Password Instructions  
Provides users with the ability to prevent unauthorized operators from  
making changes to the programmed functions. If you do not need to  
take advantage of this feature, do not enter anything into this  
function. The factory default is disabled, and no Password is necessary  
to make changes to the program.  
When any value other than 0000 is entered into this Function, the  
Parameter Lock is enabled and that number becomes the User  
Password. From that point forward, it will be necessary to enter the User  
Password in this Function prior to making changes in any programmed  
function, including this one. When the Parameter Lock has been  
enabled, attempts to alter the program will result in the display reading  
[Err ] whenever the [READ/ENTER] key is pressed.  
To alter the program after the Parameter Lock has been enabled, go to  
Function F070 and enter the correct user Password. The display will  
read an encoded value representing the existing password. As soon as  
you press the first Arrow key, the display will change to [0000] and start  
showing the actual value of your password entry. When the [READ/  
ENTER] button is pressed, the display will read [PASS], indicating that  
the User Password is correct and the system is unlocked. You will have  
5 minutes in which to make a change in the program. This 5-minute  
window resets whenever any key is pressed, so it floats to give you 5  
minutes after the last entry. After 5 minutes of no keypad activity, the  
Parameter Lock is reinstated with the current user Password.  
Subsequent changes will require re-entering the User Password.  
To change the User Password or to disable the Parameter Lock  
function, enter the programmed User Password first, and then set  
Function F070 to 0, disabling the Parameter Lock. If you do not re-enter  
the Password or enter a new user password, the Parameter Lock  
feature will remain disabled. If you enter a different number into this  
Function, the new number becomes your new User Password. Existing  
passwords are encoded to “hide” them in the display.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT LOSE YOUR PASSWORD.  
If the password has been lost or forgotten, contact Toshiba for assistance.

Appendix 4: Process Control Timer Functions  
F030 through F039; Overview of Process Timer Control and Time Clock Controller Features:  
The following special functions allow your TE Series starter to operate automatically from an internal Process  
Control Timer and Time Clock Controller (TCC) using a real time clock. The Process Control Timer (F030 and  
F031) can be used independently or together with the TCC feature (F032-39). The TCC requires using the  
Process Control Timer to provide for Start commands (depending on the selected mode). Time progression and  
clock values can be read in the Status Screen (see section 5.3.1).  
A convenient chart at the end of this appendix shows all settings and interactions.  
F030 = Process Control Timer Selection  
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)  
Range = 0, 1, 2  
This function enables a Process Control Timer, which offers  
two operating modes (Minimum Batch Run Timer and  
Permissive Run Timer), selected by entering 1 or 2 here.  
F030 = 1: Minimum Batch Run Timer  
In this mode, the Process Control Timer engages that the  
motor will run for a minimum amount of time, regardless of  
whether someone stops it intentionally, or power fails and  
returns. When selected to Minimum Run Timer, it begins  
counting down after a Start command. The Time Value is set in  
F031. When the time value reaches [0000] the starter will turn  
off, even if the Start command is still closed and without a Stop  
command.  
To Reset the timer in this mode, give a Stop command after the  
timer has expired. If using the TCC (F032), reset is automatic  
when completed and no other Run command is present.  
If a Stop Command, power failure or Fault trip occurs during  
timed operation, the Process Control Timer is suspended and  
maintains its value. When the starter is then restarted, the timer  
resumes counting down to ensure that the motor has run for the  
programmed amount of time (finishes the batch).  
Use this function to ensure that a load operates for a minimum amount  
of time regardless of other circumstances. Examples would be:  
ƒ
Irrigation pumps where a specific amount of pumping time is  
required even if the pump is shut down on a low level alarm and  
then resets, or power fails and returns.  
ƒ
ƒ
Mixers that need to agitate for a specific amount of time yet  
may be shut down when power fails or as product is added.  
Aeration Blowers that must be run for minimum amounts of  
time to ensure that proper aeration (contact time) has been  
provided to a tank.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
In 2-wire control systems where the Run command is maintained, the  
starter will automatically restart after a power failure or a Trip is reset.  
Use appropriate warnings as mentioned in section 3.1.3.b (see the  
following F032 description for an exception to this).  
In 3-wire control systems, a new Start command will be required to  
restart the starter.

NOTE on interaction with other functions:  
When used with F028 (Auto-Restart Delay), the Minimum Batch  
Timer will not resume counting down until F028 has expired and the  
starter has restarted. When used with 3 wire control, it may be  
necessary to maintain a Start Command until after F028 has  
expired, or repeat it if momentary.  
When used with F049 – F050 (Lockout Protection features), the  
Minimum Batch Timer will not resume counting down until those  
settings have been satisfied and the TE Series starter has  
restarted. When used with 3-wire control, it may be necessary to  
maintain a Start Command until after they are satisfied, or repeat it  
if momentary.  
When used with the Pump Flex Decel feature, the Decel Time  
(F027) is counted as part of the Batch Run time for this feature.

F030 = 2: Permissive Run Timer.  
In this mode, the Process Control Timer engages differently  
according to the settings of the Time Clock Controller (TCC).  
When the TCC is set to 0 (using “One Shot” operation), the  
Process Control Timer begins counting down after the first Start  
command. Subsequent stop and start commands have no  
further affect on the timer status and can be used to fully control  
the starter. When the timer finishes (F031 = [0000]), the starter  
will shut off. Upon the next Start command, the timer will reset  
and begin counting down again. In 2 wire control systems, the  
starter will shut off even if the Run command is still closed, and  
will only reset after the Run command has been cycled (opened  
and reclosed).  
Use this function in without the Time Clock Controller (One-Shot mode)  
to ensure that a load only operates for a maximum of the  
programmed amount of time, beginning with the first Start  
command. Examples would be:  
ƒ
Pumps where the failure of a stop float may lead to dry run  
conditions if allowed to operate too long, or when the pump only  
needs to run when someone is present, but operate  
automatically via float switched (pump-out for service).  
ƒ
Ventilation Blowers where operation is controlled by a manual  
switch but may be inadvertently left on when someone leaves.  
When the TCC is set for 1 through 8 (using Start Event Cycles),  
the timer begins counting down immediately when a Start  
Event is activated. Any Start / Stop Command that is given to  
the starter during this time will work normally. When the timer  
finishes (F031 = [0000]), the starter will shut off, and Start /  
Stop commands will no longer function until the next Start  
Event Cycle (SEC). In 2 wire control systems, If a Run  
command is already present when the SEC occurs, it will make  
no difference and the starter will start.  
Reset of the Permissive Run Timer will occur only when the  
next Start Event Cycle is activated by the Time Clock Controller,  
or when changes are made to programming (see NOTE on  
programming changes (see “Important NOTE” on page 80).  
Loss of control power without program changes will NOT reset  
the time.  
Use this function in conjunction with the Time Clock Controller to ensure  
that a load only operates during the programmed amount of  
time, beginning with the Start Event Cycle. Examples would be:

IMPORTANT NOTE: When F030 or F031 is changed in program mode, the timer  
will not respond to the new settings until after control power has been cycled (off  
and back on again).  
F032 = Time Clock Controller (TCC)  
Factory Setting = 0 (One Shot)  
Range = 1 - 8 settings  
This function is used to select the operating mode of the 24hr /  
7 Day Time Clock Controller (TCC).  
F032 = 0 operates the SEC in a “One-Shot” mode (factory  
default setting). When set to 0, the Process Timer (F030)  
responds only to each NEW hard-wired START input command.  
Use this setting to allow the Process Control Timer to  
operate without the TCC.  
For safety purposes when using 2 wire control systems in this  
mode only, if power fails and the START/RUN command is  
present when power is restored, the starter will ignore this  
command until the input is cycled Off and back On (terminals  
TB1-1 and 3 are opened and reclosed).  
For automatic operations, F032 can also set the number of  
days in which the TCC will repeat a Start Event Cycle (SEC).  
Each Start Event Cycle consists of from 1 to 7 Start Events as  
programmed in F033 through F039 below. Start Events can be  
non-sequential (see NOTE below).  
F032 = 1 operates the SEC every day of the week.  
F032 = 2 operates the SEC every 2 days (every other day)  
F032 = 3 operates the SEC every 3rd day.  
F032 = 4 operates the SEC every 4th day.  
F032 = 5 operates the SEC every 5th day.  
F032 = 6 operates the SEC every 6th day  
F032 = 7 operates the SEC 1 day per week.  
F032 = 8 operates the SEC for a single 24HR event, non-  
repeating. Use this for testing or for “walk away” operations that  
need to run after you leave but not again.  
Start Event Cycles allow the use of a Start Command (2-wire or  
3-wire) ONLY AFTER the time of the Start Event has passed  
(logic state AND). In a 3-wire control system, this is similar to  
having an Enable switch in series with the Stop button. In a 2-  
wire control system, this is similar to having and Enable  
contacts in series with the Run contact. The Stop Button (or  
opening the Run contact) will always work to shut down the TE  
Series starter. If F032 is set to anything other than 0, the  
normal Start – Stop functions will no longer work except as  
shown above.  
Each Start Event is a timed operation based on the Process  
Timer settings in F030 above.  
CAUTION  
If F030 = 0 (Disabled), the TCC will be ignored. So if F032 = 1-8 and F030 = 0, the  
starter will not operate!  
Make sure that if F030 = 0, F032 = 0 as well.

TE Series  
Digital Solid State Soft Starters 18 – 1250A  
Appendix 5 – External Overload Relay Applications  
Your TE Series starter comes equipped with a very intelligent internal  
electronic overload protection system, and does not need an external  
Over Load Relay (OLR). There are instances however where external  
OLRs are needed or desired because of the application. These fall into  
three categories; Higher Level Protection systems, Redundant Backup  
applications and Special Motor applications.  
ƒ
NOTE:  
If the Decel Function is activated (F024), additional consideration  
must be put into determining how the starter is to operate in the  
event of an Over Load Trip. See Section 5.6.5 for issues regarding  
this application.  
HIGHER LEVEL PROTECTION SYSTEMS  
Because of a desire for uniformity and/or operator familiarity in some  
facilities, Motor Protection Relays or other coordinated OEM protection  
systems may be used in lieu of the TE Series protection (even though  
most of the features are the same or better). In these instances the TE  
Series Over Load protection can simply be turned off, deferring  
protection to the external devices. Care should be taken however to  
ensure that the external device is properly wired into the starter control  
circuit to facilitate shutdown of the motor. The TE Series provides a  
PTC input that can be wired to the NC aux contact of the external  
device so that a trip will still shut down the TE Series and be  
annunciated on the display. See section 4.7.2.a for more details on  
using the PTC input.  
REDUNDANT BYPASS STARTER APPLICATIONS:  
In some applications, it may be necessary to provide an independent  
means of starting and protecting the motor should be TE Series starter  
become inoperable. If this were the case, the Bypass Contactor could  
be used for Across-the-Line (D.O.L) starting of the motor. The TE…BP  
version with Integral Bypass Contactors is designed for that possibility,  
as long as the starter is properly selected when ordered. To do so,  
select the starter based upon the ATL (Across-the-Line) selection chart  
so that the contactor is rated for ATL duty instead of the normal Shunt  
Duty (see section 1.2.3 for Selection charts).  
Under normal operations, the Bypass Contactor is controlled internally  
by the TE Series PC board and an internal pilot relay. For redundant  
backup purposes however, terminals B1 and B2 of TB4 are provided for  
field connection of a dry contact closure in parallel to the pilot relay  
contact, allowing control even if the electronics are out of service. AC  
control power must still be applied to TB2 terminals A1 and A2, but no  
other electronics or power supplies need to be functioning. It is in this  
instance that an external OLR must be added to the motor power circuit  
and wired into that coil control circuit. TB4 is located in different areas of  
each frame size in the TE Series. Refer to the following diagram for the  
location on your unit.

Figure APP5.2: TE Wiring for Across-the-Line Bypass Operation with External Overload Relay  
(Only the terminals necessary for this operation are shown)  
In this example:  
The Start / Run command (2-wire or 3-wire) energizes a control Relay  
“CR”. If the selector Switch is in the “SS” (Soft Start) position, the  
contact of CR closes the 24VDC control signal to TB1, terminals 1 and 3  
of the TE Series, which begins ramping. When At-Speed status is  
reached, an internal Bypass Pilot Relay is used to close the Bypass  
Contactor. While in this mode, the TE Series CPU provides full motor  
protection, even when the Bypass Contactor closes.  
When the Selector Switch is placed in the “A-T-L” (Across-the-Line)  
position, a 2nd isolated contact of CR is used to close the circuit between  
B1 and B2 of TB4 which are internally connected in parallel to the  
Bypass Pilot Relay contact in the Bypass Contactor coil circuit. Since  
the TE Series electronics may be out of service, an External Overload  
is added which only works in this mode and protects the motor by  
dropping out the connection between B1 and B2.  
CAUTION  
The circuit on TB-4 is at the same potential as the AC control voltage, but should not be  
directly connected to it. PC board damage may result.

Appendix 5 (cont.) External OL Relay Applications  
SPECIAL MOTOR APPLICATIONS  
Multiple Motors  
When more than one motor is connected downstream from the TE  
Series starter, the internal electronic overload protection cannot provide  
proper protection of the individual motors. Codes require the use of  
separate OLRs for each motor, which would need to be external  
devices.  
In these instances the TE Series Over Load protection should be turned  
off, deferring protection to the separate OLRs. Care should be taken to  
ensure that the External OLR is properly wired into the starter control  
circuit to facilitate shutdown of the motor. The TE Series provides a  
PTC input that can be wired to the NC auxiliary contact of the external  
OLR so that a trip will still shut down the TE Series and be annunciated  
on the display. Multiple OLRs would then be wired in series for the  
same effect. See section 4.7.2.a for details on using the PTC input.

In this example:  
The TE Series is used ahead of an existing 2S2W starter, which  
already has separate OLRs for each speed. Dry Aux. contacts of the  
2S2W starter are used to provide a Run command to the TE Series so  
that all existing controls can be used. In addition, another dry Aux. of the  
Fast contactor is used to select Ramp 2. When started in Slow, Ramp 1  
(default) is used. If started in Fast, different ramp settings are necessary  
so Ramp 2 is used. (See section 4.2.5.a for Dual Ramp info.)  
Either OLR will trip the TE Series, which will display [ Ptc] and light  
the “Overload” LED.
