- The internal relays may be in an undefined state due to shocks during transportation. In case both relays are latched in the ON state, there will be a direct on line start of the compressor, even without a control signal. 

- To avoid direct on line start, the user should do an initial power up with no load connected for a period of ≥ 3 seconds. 

- Short circuit and overload protection are not provided with the RSBS and must be installed separately. 

- The RSBS soft starter is not to be used as a safety device. The RSBS, on its own, cannot guarantee any safety and therefore other components need to be used to ensure that the system operates safely. 

- Repeated starts under unbalanced pressure (resulting in HP starts) will reduce the lifetime of the RSBS.

## **RSBS** 

## **Mode of operation** 

The RSBS series of soft starters is designed for single phase compressors with a maximum start time of 1 second. Typical applications include scroll and piston compressors. 

## **Current limit algorithm** 

The RSBS soft starter series works on a current limit algorithm. When control signal is applied via the On terminal, the RSBS start the ramp-up sequence. The compressor start current is limited to 45 Arms. Once the compressor reaches full speed, the RSBS automatically detects this condition and switches on the bypass relay to reduce heat dissipation within the electrical panel.  The RSBS will optimise the motor start time to around 600 ms (See Fig. 1). 

If the motor does not reach full speed within a maximum of 1 second, the RSBS will trigger the excess ramp-up time alarm (5 flashes) to protect the internal relay from switching a too high current that would reduce the relay lifetime. The alarm will self-recover after 5 minutes. 

## **High pressure (HP) function** 

During the ramp-up sequence, the RSBS will check if the motor is rotating. If the RSBS finds that the motor is in locked rotor condition, it will trigger the HP function after ~ 250 ms (See Fig. 2). During the HP sequence, the RSBS will gradually increase the current limit setpoint up to a maximum of 80 Arms. This mode of operation is required when the starting pressures are not balanced or where voltage supply is very weak. 

Note: Starts under unbalanced pressure conditions can reduce the lifetime of the RSBS due to the higher current flowing through the components. Allow enough time between starts to ensure that starting pressures difference is kept to a minimum.

2.  If supply on RSBS is removed before the recovery period (6 mins) has elapsed, when supply is restored, the remaining delay will continue until the remaining recovery time (before supply removal) is over. 

## **Alarms** 

The RSBS includes a number of diagnostics and protection features each of which is signalled through a flashing sequence on the red LED. 

Note: In case there is a fault in the internal power supply (PSU) of the RSBS, the green LED (and not the red LED) will start flashing. In this condition, the relay contact will not change state. 

## **Flashing sequence** 

Every alarm that the RSBS will trigger will be signalled via a specific flashing sequence on the red LED. The specific alarm will flash with a period of 2 s ON, 2 s OFF. 

## **Flashing sequence during recovery from alarm** 

When the alarm can self-recover, the flashing sequence of the red LED will be interleaved with a 6 s ON-OFF-ON flashing sequence and then the flashing sequence will repeat (see diagram below).

## **Flashing sequence when user intervention is required** 

In the case where user intervention is required to perform a hard reset, the flashing sequence of the alarm will be followed by a 6 s OFF period followed by the flashing sequence. This flashing sequence will repeat itself until a hard reset is performed.

|**Consecutive alarms for**<br>**hard reset**|4|
|**Action to recover alarm**|The alarm will self-recover after the recoveryperiod.|
|**Troubleshooting**|• Check for unstable or low supplyvoltage level.|

|<br>**Alarm**|Load loss|
|**Alarm description**|This alarm will be triggered when the load current is ≤ 2 AAC for ≥ 1 mains cycle. The alarm<br>will be active during ramp-up and bypass mode.<br>Ramp-up: As soon as the ON signal is turned ON, the RSBS will start the ramp-up func-<br>tion. If the measured current is ≤ 2 AAC then the RSBS will not attempt a start<br>and will raise the load loss alarm.<br>Bypass: If during bypass the measured current is ≤ 2 AAC for ≥ 1 mains cycle, the RSBS<br>will trigger the load loss alarm.|
|**Alarm recovery period**|5 minutes|
|**Consecutive alarms for**<br>**hard reset**|N/A|
|**Action to recover alarm**|The alarm will self-recover after the recovery period. Load current will not be monitored<br>during recovery from alarm. If, during transition from alarm recovery to start of ramp-up,<br>the measured current is ≤ 2 AAC ≥ 1 mains cycle the RSBS will re-trigger the alarm.<br>The alarm will self-recover after 5 minutes.|
|**Troubleshooting**|• Check that the compressor (or a load > 2 Arms) is connected to the RSBS.<br>• Check quality of supply. This alarm may also be triggered when there is complete supply<br>voltage interruption.|



|**Number of fashes**|10|

|**Alarm**|Welded main relay,Shorted SCR,Welded bypass relay|
|**Alarm description**|This alarm will be triggered when :-<br>1. The RSBS detects a current on the “L” connection when it is in IDLE state. (Fault:<br>Welded main relay). In this case the RSBS will trigger the alarm after 100 ms.<br>2. The RSBS detects a current > Imax HP during ramp-up state (Fault: SCR short or<br>bypass relay welded). The RSBS will trigger the alarm after ≈ 100 ms.|
|**Alarm recovery period**|Non-recoverable alarm|
|**Consecutive alarms for**<br>**hard reset**|1|
|**Action to recover alarm**|The alarm will not self-recover. In case of a main relay weld condition the user needs to<br>provide an external means to disengage the compressor from the mains. (Since the aux-<br>iliarywindingwill remain connected to L and N through the main relayand run capacitor).|
|**Troubleshooting**|• Replace RSBS and contact your local Carlo Gavazzi representative.<br>• Check compressor winding resistance and verify that this is within manufacturer speci-<br>fcations.|

**RSBS Number of flashes** Fully ON **Alarm** Critical over-temperature alarm The RSBS will trigger this alarm if it measures an internal temperature >130ºC for ≥ 100 **Alarm description** ms **Alarm recovery period** Alarm does not self-recover **Consecutive alarms for** 1 **hard reset** This alarm is considered to be a critical condition and the RSBS will immediately switch **Action to recover alarm** OFF its output. The alarm is non-resettable. Once this alarm is triggered the user needs to replace the RSBS. • Check that there is proper ventilation around RSBS. **Troubleshooting** • Replace the RSBS with a new one. ~~——~~ **Installation** Provide sufficient air circulation space for cooling as shown in the examples below. Do not obstruct the RSBS vents.
