Wiring Your ArmorStart Controllers
This section provides information pertaining to wiring your ArmorStart distributive motor controller.
General Precautions
Additional Precautions for the Bulletin 284 Devices
ATTENTION
The controller contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing, or repairing the assembly. Component damage
may result if the ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control
procedures, refer to Guarding Against Electrostatic Discharge, publication 8000-SB001
, or any other ESD
protection documents.
ATTENTION
An incorrectly applied or installed controller can damage components or reduce product life. Wiring or
application errors, such as an undersized motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures, may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION
Only personnel familiar with the controller and associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury and equipment damage.
ATTENTION
The ArmorStart device contains high-voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removel of
mains supply. Before working on an ArmorStart device, help ensure isolation of mains supply from line
inputs [R, S, T (L1, L2, and L3)]. Wait at least three minutes for the capacitors to discharge to a safe voltage
level. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Darkened display indicators are not an
indication that the capacitors have discharged to safe levels.
Only qualified personnel familiar with ArmorStart devices and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to do so may result
in personal injury and equipment damage.
