    Testing the Installation The ASTAT XL can be connected to a small motor for testing. During this test, the soft starter's control input and relay output protection settings can be tested. This test mode is not suitable for testing soft starting or soft stopping performance.
  • Page 23 6.1.3 In-line installation, externally bypassed Non-bypassed models have dedicated bypass terminals, which allow the ASTAT XL to continue providing protection and monitoring functions even when bypassed via an external bypass contactor. The bypass contactor must be connected to the bypass terminals and controlled by a programmable output configured to Run (see parameters 7A~7I).
  • Page 24 W2(6) 5/L3 6/T3 CAUTION When connecting the ASTAT XL in inside delta configuration, always install a main contactor or shunt trip circuit breaker. 6.1.6 Inside delta installation, externally bypassed Non-bypassed models have dedicated bypass terminals, which allow the ASTAT XL to continue providing protection and monitoring functions even when bypassed via an external bypass contactor.

  • Page 25: Bypass Contactor

    Main Contactor A main contactor must be installed if the ASTAT XL is connected to the motor in inside delta format and is optional for in-line connection. Select a contactor with an AC3 rating greater than or equal to the full load current rating of the connected motor.

  • Page 28 The temperature screen shows which motor data set is in use, and the temperature of both motors as a percentage of total thermal capacity. If the ASTAT XL is configured for use on one motor, the temperature for the secondary motor (M2) will always show 0%.

  • Page 29: Start, Stop And Reset Commands

    The HAND/AUTO button controls whether the ASTAT XL will respond to local control (via the keypad) or remote control (via the remote inputs). The ASTAT XL can also be set to allow local control only or remote control only, using parameter 6A Local/Remote. The Hand LED on the keypad is on when the soft starter is in local control mode and off when the soft starter is in remote control mode.
  • Page 30 Time 7.5.3 Adaptive Control for Starting In an adaptive control soft start, the ASTAT XL adjusts the current in order to start the motor within a specified time and using a selected acceleration profile. CAUTION Adaptive Control cannot start the motor faster than a direct on-line (DOL) start. If the start ramp time (parameter 2D) is shorter than the motor's DOL start time, starting current may reach DOL levels.

  • Page 31: Stop Methods

    If the motor does not start or stop smoothly, adjust the adaptive control gain (parameter 2L). The gain setting determines how much the ASTAT XL will adjust future adaptive control starts and stops, based on information from the previous start. The gain setting affects both starting and stopping performance.
  • Page 32 7.6.3 Adaptive Control for Stopping In an adaptive control soft stop, the ASTAT XL controls the current in order to stop the motor within a specified time and using a selected deceleration profile. Adaptive Control can be useful in extending the stopping time of low inertia loads.
  • Page 33 The first Adaptive Control stop will be a normal soft stop. This allows the ASTAT XL to learn the characteristics of the connected motor. This motor data is used by the ASTAT XL during subsequent Adaptive Control stops.

  • Page 57 The ASTAT XL's advanced thermal modelling software constantly monitors the motor's performance. This allows the ASTAT XL to calculate the motor's temperature and ability to start successfully at any time. If the ASTAT XL is configured for use on two motors, each motor's temperature is modelled separately.

  • Page 59: Application Examples

    10.1 Installation with Main Contactor The ASTAT XL is installed with a main contactor (AC3 rated). Control voltage must be supplied from the input side of the contactor. The main contactor is controlled by the ASTAT XL Main Contactor output, which by default is assigned to Output Relay A (terminals 13, 14).

  • Page 60: Installation With Bypass Contactor

    10.2 Installation with Bypass Contactor The ASTAT XL is installed with a bypass contactor (AC1 rated). The bypass contactor is controlled by the ASTAT XL Run Output which by default is assigned to Output Relay B (terminals 21, 22, 24).

  • Page 61: Emergency Run Operation

    10.3 Emergency Run Operation In normal operation the ASTAT XL is controlled via a remote two-wire signal (terminals 56, 57). Emergency Run is controlled by a two-wire circuit connected to Input A (terminals 53, 55). Closing Input A causes the ASTAT XL to run the motor and ignore certain trip conditions.

  • Page 62: Auxiliary Trip Circuit

    10.4 Auxiliary Trip Circuit In normal operation the ASTAT XL is controlled via a remote two-wire signal (terminals 56, 57). Input A (terminals 53, 55) is connected to an external trip circuit (such as a low pressure alarm switch for a pumping system). When the external circuit activates, the soft starter trips, which stops the motor.

  • Page 63: Dc Brake With External Zero Speed Sensor

    Its internal contact is open at zero-speed and closed at any speed above zero-speed. Once the motor has reached a standstill, 53, 55 will open and the starter will be disabled. When the next start command is given (ie next application of K10), 53, 55 closes and the ASTAT XL is enabled.

  • Page 64: Soft Braking

    When the ASTAT XL receives a stop signal (pushbutton S2), it opens the forward run contactor (K1) and closes the braking contactor (K2) after a delay of approximately 2-3 seconds (K1T). K12 is also closed to activate the secondary motor settings, which should be user programmed for the desired stopping performance characteristics.

  • Page 65: Two Speed Motor

    Fout! Stijl niet gedefinieerd. 10.7 Two Speed Motor The ASTAT XL can be configured for control of dual speed Dahlander type motors, using a high speed contactor (K1), low speed contactor (K2) and a star contactor (K3). NOTE Pole Amplitude Modulated (PAM) motors alter the speed by effectively changing the stator frequency using external winding configuration.

  • Page 69 PowerThrough will not operate if control power is cycled between starts. Related parameters: 15E Low Control Volts The ASTAT XL has detected a drop in the control voltage. Check the external control supply (terminals A4, A5, A6) and reset the • starter.
  • Page 70 • Related parameters: None Time-overcurrent The ASTAT XL is internally bypassed and has drawn high current during running. (The 10A protection curve trip has been reached or the motor current has risen to 600% of the motor FLC setting.) Related parameters: None Undercurrent The motor has experienced a sharp drop in current, caused by loss of load.

  • Page 82: Appendix 2: Astat Xl Output Relay Compatibility

    14.1 Overview The ASTAT XL soft starter has three programmable output relays (terminals (A, B and C). These relays are often used to control line or bypass contactors. The electronic contactor coils used in many contactors have a high initial inrush current, which can damage the soft starter's internal relays if the contactor coil is switched directly.
