Please read these instructions thoroughly before installing and operating this product. Positioning and Mounting:

  • Position the Soft Start unit with the three fixed cable glands facing downward.
  • Secure the unit using the four mounting holes accessible from the front.
  • Use round cables to avoid water ingress.
  • A mounting template is provided to locate the four mounting hole centres. Wiring Important: Installation and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel, referencing the current edition of the I.E.E. wiring regulations (BS7671) for safety compliance (International Standards refer to I.E.C/directive IEC950). Warning: Isolate the mains supply before beginning any work on the unit to avoid serious injury or fatality.
  • Cable Glands: The unit has three cable glands: o Left gland: For the mains supply o Middle gland: For the load o Right gland: For the enable input Note: Only one cable per gland should be used to maintain the unit's IP rating. Connections:
  • Mains Supply: Connect to the terminal block marked 'LINE'. o Live (L) to 'L' terminal o Neutral (N) to 'N' terminal o Earth (E) to 'E' terminal
  • Load: Connect to the terminal block marked 'LOAD'. o Live (L) to 'L' terminal o Neutral (N) to 'N' terminal o Earth (E) to 'E' terminal
  • Enable Input: o If an external enable signal is used, connect to the terminal block marked 'ENABLE'. o If no enable input is needed, insert a wire link into the Enable terminal. Important: Ensure all earth wires are connected to maintain earth continuity. Double-check all wiring and ensure the cable glands are tightly secured.
