Chapter 2 – Installation
Choosing a Location
Proper location of the TE Series is necessary to achieve specified performance and normal operation lifetime.
The TE Series should always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:
Ambient operating temperature:
Panel (open chassis) unit: 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F)
Enclosed unit: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
TE is to have protection from rain, moisture and dust.
Enclosed units should not be exposed to direct sun.
Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing
Free from metallic particles, conductive dust and corrosive gas
Free from excessive vibration (below 0.5G)
Open panel units must be mounted in the appropriate type of enclosure. Enclosure size and type must
be suitable to dissipate heat generated by the soft starter and any other components mounted inside with it.
Units with –BP Bypass Contactors produce less heat than units without. Throughout all sizes, maximum
heat dissipation of the TE…-BP Series electronics, contactor coils and fans is less than 50W.
NOTE: This does not include heat generated by cables, lugs or bus bars.
SERVICE WARNING!
Do not service equipment with voltage applied! The unit can be the
source of fatal electrical shocks! To avoid shock hazard, disconnect
main power and control power before working on the unit. Warning
labels must be attached to terminals, enclosure and control panel to
meet local codes. Use Lock Out tags such as the one shown when
servicing equipment.
9|Page
Clearances
Make sure there is sufficient clearance all around the unit for cooling, wiring and maintenance purposes. To
conserve panel space, the TE Series – BP models were designed for close vertical clearances of only 1 inch
(25mm) on either side. A minimum horizontal clearance of 4” (100 mm) on the top and bottom is necessary to
maximize effective airflow and cooling. Also the unit must be installed with its heat sink ribs oriented vertically
and running parallel to the mounting surface. Keep in mind that these are minimums. Wiring may require
more clearance, particularly on the bottom.

Cleaning:
WARNING!
Remove all sources of power before cleaning the unit.
In dirty or contaminated atmospheres, the unit should be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure proper
cooling. Do not use any chemicals to clean the unit. To remove surface dust use clean, dry compressed
air only, 80 to 100 psi. A three inch, high quality, dry paintbrush is helpful to loosen up the dust prior to
using compressed air on the unit. Do not use wire brushes or other conductive cleaning materials.

Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Figure 3: Power factor correction capacitors can be connected to motors
controlled by TE Series starters, however they must be off-line
TE Power Connections
during ramping. Connect PFC capacitors to the Line side of the
starter with a separate capacitor control contactor.
WARNING!
Never connect power factor correction capacitors on the load
side of the unit. The SCRs will be seriously damaged if
capacitors are located on the load side.
Grounding
Connect the ground cable to the ground terminal as labeled on the
unit. Refer to the National Electrical Code or your local Code for the
proper ground wire sizing and be sure that the ground connector is
connected to earth ground. In ungrounded systems, it is not
necessary to connect a ground to the unit; however, local codes
should always be consulted.
11 | P a g e
Power Terminals:
Connection points are bus tabs with pre-drilled holes (see below). Use appropriate compression or
mechanical lugs for termination to these bus tabs.
Suggested wire sizes and tightening torques for factory-supplied connectors for conductors rated for 75C are
shown in the chart below. Always consult local codes and industry standard practices for proper wires sizes to
accommodate voltage drop and ambient conditions.
Table 3: TE Series Wire Ranges and Torque Specifications. Note: TBD = To Be Determined at a later
date.
The keypad / operator interface unit can be remotely mounted up to 10’ (3 meters) away from the starter, i.e.
on the enclosure door. A remote mounting kit is necessary, which consists of an adaptor plate, a doorframe
for NEMA 12 enclosures and a pre-assembled ribbon cable available in 1-meter length increments. Detailed
assembly instructions and an enclosure cutout template are included with the kit. See Industrial Catalog for
part numbers of the available kits. Type 12

Control Connections
Control connections on the TE Series starter are divided into 2 groups. With the unit oriented vertically, TB1
is a 12-point DC terminal block (on the left), and TB2 is a 10 point AC terminal block (on the right side). These
are removable terminal blocks for ease of connection and servicing, and are provided with different spacing
(pitch) between the header pins so they are not interchangeable. Following are descriptions of control
connection points.
Figure 5
Note:
Terminal numbers are shown on the side of the first and last terminal of each block. An additional
3 point terminal on the far left side is for serial communication connections.
13 | P a g e
Control Fusing
Output relays in TB2 must be protected from currents in excess of 5A, either with a fuse or with other
suitable current protection devices.
A dedicated fault output for use in PLC or interposing relay control is available on TB1. This opto-isolated
triac switch is rated for 50mA max., 10-250VAC. Any circuit connected to it must be fused accordingly.
Interlock Connection
TB1 provides a connection point for an external dry (voltage free) N.C. (Normally Closed) interlock device
between terminals 4 and 5. Examples where this interlock connection would be used include low oil, high
temperature, or excess vibration dropout from user supplied
devices. A factory-installed jumper is provided which allows
the TE Series unit to operate if external interlocks are not
used. If this jumper is removed and an interlock is not used,
the TE Series unit will not function.
14 | P a g e
The TE Series starter is provided with input terminals for connecting a PTC (Positive Temperature
Coefficient) Thermistor that may be imbedded in the motor. These
are specialized resistors imbedded in some motor windings that
increase in resistance as the temperature increases. When the
TE Series detects that the PTC input resistance is too high, it
initiates a PTC trip, and displays [PTc] on the readout. This is
independent of the Thermal Register overload current protection
and provides supplemental protection for high motor ambient
temperature applications. Terminals for this input are provided
with a factory jumper that must be removed if the PTC input is
used. These are Terminals 9 and 10 located on TB1.
The resistance must be less than or equal to 750 at 25ºC. If multiple resistors are used in the motor, the
sum of all resistors in series must equal or be less than this value.
Fault Signal
An optically isolated Triac output is dedicated as a fault indicator
on TB1, terminals 11 and 12, labeled “Opto”. The output Triac
switch is rated for 10 - 250VAC, 50 mA (maximum). If the three
programmable Output Auxiliary Relays are being used for other
functions, this output can easily be hooked up to a PLC or small
external relay to provide a Fault signal. This Fault Output
operation is permanently fixed at “Any Trip”, duplicating the
Relay setting 16 as shown in Table 5.6.10 of the Advanced
Installation, Operation and Programming Manual.
15 | P a g e
Closing a dry (voltage free) contact between TB1, terminals 6 and 7 will enable Ramp 2, and the TE Series
starter will respond to the settings for Ramp 2 in F015 - F018. If no contact closure is present, the TE Series
starter defaults to the Ramp 1 parameters (F011 – F014). See
Section 5.6.2.of the Advanced Installation, Operation and
Programming Manual for full function description of how to setup the
Dual Ramp Feature.
Dual Ramp is also useful in 2-speed motor applications. Simply use an auxiliary contact from one of the
speed contactors to select Ramp 2 so that separate ramp profiles can be used.
Connecting a dry (voltage free) contact between TB1, terminals 7 and 8 will enable the Jog feature. A Start
command (Run Command or Start button) is required to activate the Jog feature. See Section 5.6.3 of the
Advanced Installation, Operation and Programming
Manual for full function description of how to setup of
the Jog Function.
16 | P a g e
Three programmable auxiliary relays are on TB2. The TE Series starter comes with three programmable dry
relay output contacts. Outputs 1 and 2 are Form C (SPDT), with a Common, N.O. and N.C. Output 3 is a
Form A, (SPST), N.O. contact. It is not necessary to use the programmable output auxiliary relays in the Start
/ Stop circuit. An internal seal-in relay is provided elsewhere (see 4.2.2.a). Toshiba recommends fusing all
outputs with external fuses. The relays are rated for 240 VAC, 5 A and 1200 VA.
On TE…-BP starters, an internal dedicated connection is used at the factory for automatically controlling the
Bypass Contactor. Field wiring for Bypass Contactor operation is not required.
The TE…-BP Series starters use standard industrial contactors that can be controlled independent of the
starter electronics if necessary. When doing so, it is necessary to size the starter based upon the ATL
(Across-the-Line) selection chart so that the contactors are rated for ATL duty instead of normal Shunt Duty.
(See Section 1.2.3.of the Advanced Installation, Operation and Programming Manual). Supplemental
overload protection will be required (See Section 3.1.3.of the Advanced Installation, Operation and
Programming).
Units have external terminal blocks marked for this purpose (see Appendix 5 of the Advanced Installation,
Operation and Programming Manual for additional for drawings). Dry (voltage free) contact closure between
these terminals will close the bypass contactor immediately. The Bypass Contactor coil voltage is the same
as the control voltage (120VAC unless the optional 240VAC control is specified), and the voltage on these
terminals is the same as the coil voltage.

Starting:
1. Apply three phase power to the unit. The motor should not run until a Start command is applied.
2. Apply control power and check that the “Power On” LED comes on.
3. Status Display should read [0000.] showing no current in Phase A (minor flickering of the first digit is
common).
4. Apply the Start (Run) command. The motor should begin to accelerate. Status display will read Phase A
Amps at an increasing rate.
5. When the motor reaches full speed, the “At-Speed” LED comes on and the Bypass Contactor will close.
Status display should show a sharp decrease in Phase A Amps.
6. If the motor does not fully accelerate, decelerates, or stops during the acceleration period, hit the Stop
button immediately and open the disconnect.
Stopping:
If the unit does not follow this operational sequence please contact the factory or refer to the TE Series
Troubleshooting Guide.

Chapter 4 – Programming
Introduction
It is best to operate the motor at its full load starting conditions to achieve the proper time, torque and ramp
settings. Initial factory settings are set to accommodate general motor applications and provide basic motor
protection. Advanced features must be enabled via programming. The only parameter that MUST be set by
the user is motor FLA (F001).
Digital Interface: The TE Series Soft Starter includes a digital keypad with eight LEDs, seven
command keys, and an LED display with four alphanumeric digits.
20 | P a g e
Display Modes
There are three modes of display: The Status Display Mode, the Program Mode, and the Fault Mode.
The Status Display Mode displays seven “screens” of information. Motor Currents (3 phases), Remaining
Thermal Capacity, Ground Current, Remaining Time on the Process Timer, and Time Base of the Time Clock
Controller. This is also the entry screen for going into the Program Mode.
Status mode:
[0000.] The initial display on power up is four digits and the decimal. This indicates the motor current for
Phase A of the motor.
[0000] Scroll UP to display four digits only (no decimal). This indicates the motor current for Phase B. While
viewing Phase B, press the UP arrow again to view Phase C current.
[G000] Scroll UP to display the “G”. This shows the value of the current flowing to ground on the motor leads.
[H000] Scroll UP to display the “H”. This indicates the value of the remaining thermal capacity percentage of
the motor (i.e. H070 = 70% remaining thermal capacity).
Program Mode
The starter must be STOPPED in order to enter the
Program Mode. Use the Program Mode to view or change
Function (Fn) settings. To enter the Program Mode, press
the [Fn] key once from the Status Screen described in
section 5.3.1 of the Advanced Installation, Operation
and Programming Manual. The first time you enter the
Program Mode after power has been cycled to the starter,
the initial function [F001] should be displayed with the
selected digit flashing. If the TE Series starter has been
programmed and power to the unit has not been cycled,
the readout will display the last function viewed or
changed. To change to a different function, use the arrow
keys.
Viewing Function Programming and Values
The programming of each individual Function can be
viewed without making changes (values can also be
viewed in the Run Mode however, no changes can be
made). Each Function is signified by the letter “F” in the
beginning of the data, the 4 digit value of the function
follows after pushing the [READ/ENTER] key
• [F001] “F” indicates the programmable Function.
• [0000] This is the present setting of the applicable
function.
This display may include decimals between digits depending on the function setting’s range and incremental
steps. [F001] - “F” indicates the programmable Function.
[0000] - This is the present setting of the applicable function. This display may include decimals between digits
depending on the function setting’s range and incremental steps.
Pressing the [Fn] key again will return to the Function display without making changes.
21 | P a g e
From the instructions above, after pressing the [READ/ENTER] key the display will show the value of that
function with one digit flashing (usually the rightmost digit). Flashing indicates this is the digit to be altered
(similar to cursor position). Use the UP arrow key to increment the value of the flashing digit. Use the DOWN
arrow key to decrement the value of the flashing digit. Use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow to select the next digit to
be altered. Values can only be changed within the Adjustment Range of the function parameter.
Pressing the [READ/ENTER] key again will store the new programming for that Function and return to the
Function display.
If the display shows [Inh] when trying to store the changes, the unit is running and must be Stopped, or a
Password has been set up to prevent access and must be entered first. See section 5.6.11 of the Advanced
Installation, Operation and Programming Manual for details about this feature.
Caution!
If the Fn key is pressed or power is lost before the [READ/ENTER] key is pressed, the TE
Series Starter will not store the selected value in memory.
Fault Mode
The Fault Mode Display provides information to the operator when a fault occurs and allows the operator to
review fault history. Refer to described in Section 7 of the Advanced Installation, Operation and Programming
Manual for details. Fault codes are displayed by 3 alpha characters. The first and second characters (reading
left to right) are the initials for the applicable English-language fault name. The third or right-most character
can be either A, c, or d to denote when the fault occurred: “A” denotes Acceleration, “c” denotes Constant
speed, and “d” denotes Decel or Stopped.

Functions F060 through F062 provide the ability to program the functions of each of the 3 Output
Auxiliary Relays. Factory default programming is provided which covers a wide variety of applications,
but any of these relays can be changed as per the following chart.
Notes:
Check relay wiring before changing programming to avoid unintended consequences.
Relays programmed to some protection features will not operate if function is disabled
elsewhere.

Fault Mode
The TE Series will automatically enter the Fault Mode when a fault occurs in the motor or starter and display
a code indicating the condition that caused a shutdown. Fault codes are three-digits in length and are
displayed in alpha characters. The first and second characters (reading left to right) are the initials for the
applicable English-language fault name. The third or right-most character can be either A, c, or d to denote
when the fault occurred: “A” denotes Acceleration, “c” denotes Constant speed, and “d” denotes Decel or
Stopped.
A Fault History of the past 3 events is stored and can be accessed by using the Up or Down Arrow keys
before pressing the Reset button. The first (newest) event is indicated by the decimal point in the lower right
corner. A more detailed history with time and date stamps is also kept in Functions 85 through 93.
Fault Codes:
Basic common fault codes are shown in the chart below. For additional details refer to Chapter 7 of the
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual, or contact the factory for assistance.

The TE Series Starter provides true U.L. listed I2t Thermal Overload Protection as a built-in function of
the main digital processor for maximum motor protection. It simulates the tripping action of a bi-
metallic overload relay, with the accuracy and repeatability of a digital control system. It is adjustable
over a wide range and can be easily programmed for different trip curves.
Thermal Memory
The TE Series microprocessor uses a sophisticated “Thermal Register” in the digital memory to keep
track of motor heating and cooling over time regardless of the starter’s power status. By using non-
volatile memory, the TE Series does not “forget” that the motor has been running even if power to the
starter is turned off and back on. Continuous overload protection is provided based on the true thermal
condition of the motor.
Thermal Capacity
The Thermal Register is displayed as a percentage. This percentage is the motor’s remaining thermal
capacity. The percentage value begins at 100%; showing that the motor is cool (e.g. motor has 100% of
its capacity available). As the motor heats up or moves toward an overload condition, the percentage
begins to drop. The Thermal Capacity is derived from the programmed motor nameplate Full Load
Amps (FLA) in Function F001, the Service Factor rating in Function F002, and the Overload Trip Class
in Functions F003 and F004. Setting these functions to the proper values provides maximum protection
and eliminates nuisance tripping.
Examples: The Remaining Thermal Capacity can be viewed by using the UP or DOWN arrow
keys when in the Status Display mode. From the default Phase A Current screen (dot
on right side), press the UP arrow key 4 times to display [H100] meaning there is
H100 100% of the Thermal Capacity (H = Heat capacity) remaining in the motor. After
starting or running, the motor will use this capacity and the display will show a lower
100% Thermal number. For example, after a cold start, the display may read [H065] which indicates
Capacity remaining that the motor has 65% of its thermal capacity remaining (35% used). The Status
at rest Display screens cycle back to the beginning, so the Down arrow keys can get to this
display as well.

Manual Reset
The factory default setting is Manual Reset. This means that when the Overload Trip is activated, the
starter cannot be restarted without pressing the Reset key. The Overload Trip will not reset until the motor
cools down (see 3.1.3.d). The Manual Reset function is also “trip free”. Holding in the Reset key will not
prevent the Overload Trip from activating and protecting the motor.
Note:
When the Overload Trip activates, the Overload LED will glow solid. When the motor
cools down, the LED will begin to flash, indicating that the Overload Trip can be reset.
Automatic Reset
If Automatic Reset is necessary, change from Manual Reset to Automatic Reset by using Function F005.
(See Section 5 of the full Installation, Operation and Maintenance for details). In this mode, a 3-wire
control circuit will be capable of restart when the TE Series has reset itself after the cool down period.
WARNING!
Two-wire control systems may restart without warning when Auto Reset
is selected. Extreme caution should be exercised. To prevent automatic
restarting with 2-wire control systems, use external interlocking to
provide sufficient warning and safety to operators. A Warning Label
similar to that shown below (and the one provided in the packet with
this manual) must be located where visible (on the starter enclosure
and/or the driven equipment) as required by local code.
