[Patent Pending]

SPECIFICATIONS:

Voltage: 120 Volts AC

Maximum current: 15A

Ambient operating temperatures: 40° - 95°F

Maximum (Full Soft Start) Duty Cycle: 20 Starts per Hour 

Resistance based operation. Temperature activated axial cooling fan for improved recovery times.

WARNING:

1. Do not operate in environmental temperatures below 40°F.
2. Theoretical ramp times for the C10 can vary from 0-3 seconds.
3. Capacitor start induction motors must be at full speed within 3 seconds of being switched on.
4. If your capacitor start induction motor takes longer than 3 seconds to reach full speed, discontinue use of Soft Starter immediately. 

 INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Indoor use only.
2. Insert appropriate end of supplied power cord into side receptacle of Soft Starter. Plug the other end of power cord into your supply power outlet.
3. Plug your equipment into the front outlet of the Soft Starter.
4. Clean bottom fan filter as needed.

 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mount vertically with the fan filter at the bottom to help reduce dust infiltration. Mount using screws, bolts, or zip ties.
2. To access lower mounting holes; using a knife blade, gently slide the blade underneath edge of fan grille and twist.

RAMP TIMES:

Ramp time is the length of time required for the motor to go from OFF to full speed. Ramp times will vary based on conditions such as: ambient temperatures, equipment construction, and the state of recovery from the previous use.

 Approximate ramp time @ 40°F:  2.5s

Approximate ramp time @ 75°F:  1.6s

RECOVERY TIMES:

The recovery time is the length of time required for the Soft-Starter to return to its normal state after use. Full recovery times can vary from 30 seconds to 10 minutes depending on:  applied load, duration of applied load, ambient temperature, etc. Under normal conditions an active cooling fan indicates that the Soft Starter has not fully recovered and may not be ready to fully suppress the next inrush.
