How to substitute an ATS48 with an ATS480?
Hello, today we will show you how to substitute an ATS48 with an ATS480.
In this example, the ATS48 is installed with a circuit breaker, a line contactor,
an external bypass contactor and a remote display terminal.
Follow those instructions to select the appropriate ATS480 to substitute your ATS48.
We start the motor with the ATS48 and measure the current in blue, the torque in red and the speed in yellow.
Turn off the ATS48.
Connect a computer equipped with SoMove to the ATS48 with a communication cable.
Turn on the soft starter.
Transfer the ATS48 configuration on your computer. This configuration will be migrated to the ATS480.
Turn OFF the ATS48.
Remove the protective covers on the power terminals.
Proceed with a voltage absence check.
For the substitution, keep the same coordination elements: same contactors, circuit breakers and fuses.
The ATS480 control must be supplied within 110 to 230 Vac. If your ATS48 control was supplied with 400 Vac,
you must lower the voltage to 230 Vac with a transformer.
Unplug the ATS48 control terminals.
Disconnect the mains supply.
Disconnect the motor cables, the external bypass and the ground cable.
Keep the cables and protective covers as we will reuse them for the ATS480.
Untighten the four fixation screws. Keep them to install the ATS480.
Remove the ATS48 from the cabinet.
Verify that the reference of the ATS480 on the nameplate is compatible with the substituted ATS48.
Install the ATS480 on the same spot as the ATS48. The footprint, fixation holes and screws are identical.
Tighten the four fixation screws.
Connect the ground cable, the external bypass and the motor cables.
Use the same cables and tightening torque as the ATS48.
Connect the mains supply.
Install the same protective covers as the ATS48.
Use the equivalence table to transfer the control wires from the ATS48 to the ATS480 control terminals.
The relays of the ATS480 admit a maximum voltage of 230Vac only instead of 400Vac on ATS48.
Wire the ATS480 control supply.
The CL1 and CL2 terminals must be supplied in 110...230 Vac.
The display terminal remote mounting kits are not compatible.
To adapt the existing fixation holes, refer to the ATS48 to ATS480 substitution manual.
Connect the new remote mounting kit to the ATS480 display terminal communication port.
Plug the ATS480 display terminal to the new remote mounting kit.
Before transferring the ATS48 configuration to the ATS480,
check the position of the run stop switches and circuit breaker to avoid unexpected start.
Connect the computer on which you saved the ATS48 configuration.
Power on the ATS480 control block.
Using SoMove, convert the ATS48 configuration for the ATS480 and transfer it to the ATS480.
Send a Run command.
We compare the measured torque, current and speed response of the ATS480 and the ATS48,
The substitution is successful, the responses are equivalent.
Quick selection
Same coordination elements Same footprint, same fixations
Simple commissioning with SoMove configuration converter
