■ Quick Set-up
For basic start/stop control only three steps are
required to commission the MCD3000.
• Install the MCD3000
• Program the MCD3000
• Start the motor.
The MCD3000 provides many other features that
enable users to customise operation for their particular
requirements. To learn more about these features
please study this manual.
■
Install the MCD3000
Mounting, wiring and setting the soft
starter into operation must be carried out
properly by trained personnel.
1. Verify that the ratings of the MCD3000 are correct
for the application.
2. Physically install the MCD3000. (Refer to the
Installation section of this manual)
3. Connect mains, motor, motor thermistor (if any)
and control voltage circuits as shown below.
The voltage of the soft starter is
dangerous whenever the equipment is
connected to the mains. Ensure the soft
starter is correctly connected and that all safety
measures have been taken before switching on the
supply.
4. Turn on the supply.
■
Program the MCD3000
For simple applications the MCD3000 needs only to
be programmed with the FLC (Full Load Current) of
the connected motor.
To program the MCD3000 with the motor FLC do the
following:
1. Enter the programming mode by pressing the
[MENU/CANCEL] button on the Local Control
Panel. The display will show the number of the
first programming parameter, Par.1 Motor FLC
2. Press the [CHANGE DATA/OK] button to display
the programmed value. The setting may now be
adjusted.
3. Using the [+/-] buttons adjust the setting to match
the motor FLC.
4. When correct, store the Motor FLC setting by
pressing the [CHANGE DATA/OK] button
(Pressing the [MENU/CANCEL] button returns you
to the parameter number without saving the new
value).
5. Return the MCD3000 to run mode by pressing the
[MENU/CANCEL] button.
■ Start the motor
With the motor FLC programmed, the motor can now
be started using the MCD3000 [START] button.
Other commonly used functions that may be useful in
a Quick Set-up situation include:
• Par. 5 Soft Stop (Refer to the Programming
section of this manual for a description)
• Par. 2 Current Limit (Refer to the Programming
section of this manual for a description)
If required, set these parameters in the same manner
as described for Par 1. Motor FLC
