AX is connected to mains. This voltage is extremely dangerous and will cause death or severe injury if contacted. When RVS-AX is connected to mains, even if start command has not been issued and motor is stopped, full voltage may appear on starter’s output and motor’s terminals. -
Page 4: Technical Data
TECHNICAL DATA Introduction The RVS-AX electronic soft starter incorporates six thyristors (Three phase control) to start a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor and an internal bypass (Internal bypass in RVS-AX31A and higher). By supplying a slowly increasing voltage, it provides soft start and smooth stepless acceleration, while drawing the minimum current necessary to start the motor. -

Note: 220 - 240 Vac +10% -15% 380 - 415 Vac +10% -15% 440 Vac +10% -15% 460 - 500 Vac +10% -15% 575 - 600 Vac +10% -15%... -
Page 6: Built-In Bypass (Rvs-Ax31A And Higher)
6 • Technical Data Built-in Bypass (RVS-AX31A and higher) The RVS-AX (31A model and higher) incorporates three internal bypass relays allowing current flow through the thyristors only during starting process. At the end of the starting process, the built-in relays bypass the thyristors and carry the current to the motor. -

Page 9: Recommended Wiring Schemes
(5) – No internal bypass in RVS-AX8A and RVS-AX17A. Wiring Notes WARNINGS! When mains voltage is connected to the RVS-AX, full voltage may appear on the starter load terminals. Therefore, for isolation purposes, it is necessary to connect an isolating device before the starter. -
Page 10: Short Circuit Protection
4.2.2 Transient Protection Line transient voltages can cause a malfunction of the starter and damage to the thyristors. All RVS-AX starters incorporate Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) to protect from normal line voltage spikes. When higher transients are expected, additional external protection should be used (consult factory). -

INSTALLATION Do not interchange line and load connections WARNING! Do not connect the RVS-AX “Inside Delta” (consult factory) Prior to Installation Check that Motor’s Full Load Ampere (FLA) is lower than, or equal, to the starter’s Full Load Current (FLC) and that Mains and Control voltages are as indicated on the starter’s side label. -

(3) Reset Button Potentiometers settings Potentiometer Description Range Motor FLC 50-100% The adjustment allows easy setting of the RVS-AX current level, automatically adjusting current based functions (Overload, Current Limit, etc). Set FLC potentiometer according to the following equation: Motor × Where: Motor FLA is the motor's Full Load Current rating as shown on its nameplate. - Page 16 16 • Front Panel Potentiometer Range Description Initial Voltage 10-50% Determines the initial voltage to the motor (torque is directly proportional to the square of the voltage). Range: 10-50% of nominal voltage. This adjustment also determines the inrush current and mechanical shock.

17 • Front Panel Potentiometer Description Range Ramp Down 0.2-30 sec. Used to control deceleration of high friction loads. When Ramp-Down potentiometer is set, upon stop signal the starter output voltage is gradually ramped down. When "Ramp-down Time" is set to minimum, the motor will stop immediately. -
Page 18: Starting Procedure
18 • Starting Procedure STARTING PROCEDURE When mains voltage is connected to the RVS-AX, even if start signal has not been issued, full voltage may appear on the starter load terminals. Therefore, for isolation purposes, it is necessary to connect an isolating device before (upstream) the starter. -
