5.3. Control Wiring
The LV-DS has three fixed inputs for remote control. These inputs should be controlled by contacts rated for
low voltage, low current operation (gold flash or similar).

CAUTION
Do not apply voltage to the control input terminals. These are active 24 VDC inputs and must be
controlled with potential free contacts.
Cables to the control inputs must be segregated from mains voltage and motor cabling.
5.4. Relay Outputs
The LV-DS has three programmable relay outputs.
Operation of the programmable outputs is determined by the settings of parameters 7A~7I.
• If assigned to Main Contactor, the output activates as soon as the soft starter receives a start command
and remains active while the soft starter is controlling the motor (until the motor starts a coast to stop, or
until the end of a soft stop).
• If assigned to Run, the output activates when the soft start is complete (when the starting current falls
below 120% of the programmed motor full load current) and remains closed until the beginning of a stop
(either soft stop or coast to stop).
• If assigned to a trip function, the output activates when a trip occurs.
• If assigned to a flag, the output activates when the specified flag is active (parameters 7J~7L).
CAUTION
Some electronic contactor coils are not suitable for direct switching with PCB mount relays.
Consult the contactor manufacturer/supplier to confirm suitability.
5.5. Motor Thermistors
Motor thermistors can be connected directly to the LV-DS. The soft starter will trip when the resistance of the
thermistor circuit exceeds approximately 3.6 kΩ or falls below 20 Ω.
No motor thermistors

NOTE
If no motor thermistors are connected to the LV-DS thermistor input terminals 64, 65 must be open.
If 64, 65 are shorted, the LV-DS will trip.
The thermistor circuit should be run in screened cable and must be electrically isolated from earth and
all other power and control circuits.
