1 Presentation
The Altistart 01 soft starter operates either as a torque limiter on starting, or as a soft
1 start/soft stop unit for asynchronous motors.
Using the Altistart 01 starter enhances the starting performance of asynchronous
motors by allowing them to start gradually, smoothly and in a controlled manner. It
prevents mechanical shocks, which lead to wear and tear, and subsequent
maintenance work and production downtime.
1.1 The Altistart 01 limits the starting torque and current peaks on starting on machines
which do not require a high starting torque.
1 It is designed for the following simple applications:
2 b Conveyors
b Conveyor belts
b Pumps
b Fans
3 b Compressors
b Automatic doors and gates
b Small cranes
b Belt-driven machinery, etc.
The Altistart 01 is compact, easy to install and can be mounted side-by-side. It
complies with standards IEC/EN 60947-4-2, carries UL, CSA, C-Tick, CCC and
GOST certifications and e marking.
The Altistart 01 soft start/soft stop unit offer comprises 3 ranges:
DF563892

b 1 ATS 01N1ppp soft starters
v Control one phase of the motor power supply (single phase or three phase) to limit
the starting torque
v Internal bypass relay
v Motor power ratings ranging from 0.37 kW to 11 kW
v Motor supply voltages ranging from 110 V to 480 V, 50/60 Hz. An external power
supply is required for controlling the starter.
A contactor is always required to switch off the motor.
4
5 b 2 ATS 01N2ppp soft start/soft stop units
6 v Control two phases of the motor power supply to limit the starting current and for
deceleration
7 v Internal bypass relay
8 v Motor power ratings ranging from 0.75 kW to 75 kW
v The motor supply voltages are as follows: 230 V, 400 V, 480 V and 690 V, 50/60 Hz
The use of a line contactor is not necessary on machines where electrical isolation
is not required.

9 b ATSU 01N2ppp soft start/soft stop units

Description
b Altistart 01 soft starters (ATS 01N1ppp) are equipped with:
v A potentiometer 1 for setting the starting time
v A potentiometer 2 for adjusting the start voltage threshold according to the motor
load
v Two inputs 3:
- One 24 V z input or one 110…240 V a for powering the control part that
controls the motor
b Altistart 01 soft start/soft stop units (ATS 01N2ppp) are equipped with:
v A potentiometer 6 for setting the starting time
v A potentiometer 8 for setting the deceleration time
v A potentiometer 7 for adjusting the start voltage threshold according to the motor
load
v 1 green LED 4 to indicate that the unit is switched on
v 1 yellow LED 5 to indicate that the motor is powered at nominal voltage, if it
is connected to the starter
v A connector 9:
- 2 logic inputs for Run/Stop commands
- 1 logic input for the BOOST function
- 1 logic output to indicate the end of starting
- 1 relay output to indicate the motor has reached a standstill at the end of the
deceleration stage

b Starting time
Controlling the starting time means that the time of the voltage ramp applied to the
motor can be adjusted to obtain a gradual starting time, dependent on the motor load.

Un Activating the BOOST logic input enables the function for supplying a starting
overtorque capable of overcoming any mechanical friction.

the starter applies a fixed voltage to the motor for a limited time before starting.
b End of starting
v Application function via logic output LO1
Initial voltage
Soft start/soft stop units ATS 01N206pp to ATS 01N232pp are equipped with an
t open collector logic output LO, which indicates the end of starting when the motor
200 ms has reached nominal speed.

motor voltage For ATS 01N2ppLY/Q soft start/soft stop units, end of starting information can be
obtained by adding the option LAD 8N11 with N/O+N/C contacts.
The option can be connected easily to the bypass contactor of the electronic(s) unit
without dismantling the product.

Soft starters

Altistart U01 and TeSys U

Presentation
The Altistart U01 is a soft start/soft stop unit for asynchronous motors. It is designed
1 primarily for combinations with TeSys U controller-starters.

When combined with a TeSys U 1 controller by means of a connector 2, the

Altistart U01 3 is a power option which provides the “Soft start/soft stop” function.
The result is a unique, innovative motor starter.

Using the Altistart U01 starter enhances the starting performance of asynchronous
motors by allowing them to start gradually, smoothly and in a controlled manner. It
prevents mechanical shocks, which lead to wear and tear, and limits the amount of
DF563960

1.2 1
maintenance work and production downtime.
The Altistart U01 limits the starting torque and current peaks on starting, on machines
which do not require a high starting torque.

The Altistart U01 is designed for the following simple applications:

b Conveyors
b Conveyor belts
b Pumps
b Fans
b Compressors
b Automatic doors and gates
b Small cranes
b Belt-driven machines, etc.

The Altistart U01 is compact and easy to install. It complies with standards IEC/EN
60947-4-2, carries UL, CSA, C-Tick, CCC and GOST certifications and e marking.

b ATSU 01N2ppLT soft start/soft stop units

v Control two phases of the motor power supply to limit the starting current and for
2 deceleration
v Internal bypass relay
v Motor power ratings ranging from 0.75 kW to 15 kW
v Motor supply voltages ranging from 200 V to 480 V, 50/60 Hz.
An external power supply is required for controlling the starter.

Description

b Altistart U01 soft start/soft stop units are equipped with:

v A potentiometer for setting the starting time 6
4 v A potentiometer for setting the deceleration time 8
5 v A potentiometer for adjusting the start voltage threshold according to the motor
6
load 7
7 v 1 green LED 4 to indicate that the unit is switched on
8 v 1 yellow LED 5 to indicate that the motor is powered at nominal voltage, if it
3 is connected to the starter
v A connector 9:
- 2 logic inputs for Run/Stop commands
- 1 logic input for the BOOST function
9 - 1 logic output to indicate the end of starting
- 1 relay output to indicate the starter has a power supply fault or the motor has
reached a standstill at the end of the deceleration stage

ATSU 01N2pppLT soft start unit functions

b 2-wire control
The run and stop commands are controlled by a single logic input. State 1 of logic
input LI2 controls starting and state 0 controls stopping.

+ 24 V LI1 LI2 1.2

Wiring diagram for 2-wire control

b 3-wire control
The run and stop commands are controlled by 2 different logic inputs.
Stopping is achieved when logic input LI1 opens (state 0).
The pulse on input LI2 is stored until input LI1 opens.

Wiring diagram for 3-wire control

b Starting time
Controlling the starting time means that the time of the voltage ramp applied to the
motor can be adjusted to obtain a gradual starting time, dependent on the motor load.

b Voltage boost function via logic input

Activating the BOOST logic input enables the function for supplying a starting
overtorque capable of overcoming any mechanical friction.
When the input is at state 1, the function is active (input connected to the + 24 V) and
the starter applies a fixed voltage to the motor for a limited time before starting.

The diagram opposite shows the torque/speed characteristic of a cage motor in relation to the
U
3 Tn supply voltage.
The torque varies in line with the square of the voltage at a fixed frequency. The gradual increase
0,85 U in the voltage prevents the instantaneous current peak on power-up.
