START METHOD
WARNING!
Automatic	 starting	 of	 equipment	 may	 cause	 damage	 to	 equipment	 and/or	
injury	to	personnel!		Automatic	start	should	only	be	used	on	equipment	that	is	
inaccessible	to	personnel .
01 NORMAL: The drive will start when the appropriate contact is closed on the
terminal	strip,	or	by	pressing	the	START	key	on	the	optional	remote	keypad .	Refer	
to	Parameter	14 .
02 START ON POWER UP: The drive will automatically start upon application of
input power .
03 START WITH DC BRAKE: When a START command is given, the drive will
apply	DC	BRAKE	VOLTAGE	(Parameter	22)	for	the	duration	of	DC	BRAKE	
TIME	(Parameter	21)	prior	to	starting	the	motor	to	ensure	that	the	motor	is	not	
turning .
04 AUTO RESTART WITH DC BRAKING: Upon a START command, after a
fault,	or	upon	application	of	power,	the	drive	will	apply	DC	BRAKE	VOLTAGE	
(Parameter	22)	for	the	duration	of	DC	BRAKE	TIME	(Parameter	21)	prior	to	
starting	(or	restarting)	the	motor .	
05 FLYING RESTART 1: Starts the speed search for the motor at MAXIMUM
FREQUENCY	(Parameter	24) .	This	setting	should	be	used	if	it	is	possible	for	
the	load	to	increase	speed	after	the	drive	trips	or	loses	power .
06 FLYING RESTART 2: Starts the speed search for the motor at the last
frequency it was running at before the drive tripped on a fault or lost power .
The	FLYING	RESTART	1	and	2	settings	allow	the	drive	to	start	into	a	spinning	load	after	
a	fault	or	upon	application	of	input	power .	Also,	if	STOP	METHOD	(Parameter	04)	is	set	to	
COAST	(01),	the	drive	will	perform	a	flying	start	whenever	it	is	started	(except	on	application	
of	power) .
When	 programmed	 for	 auto-restart,	 the	 drive	 will	 attempt	 three	 restarts	 after	 a	 fault .	 The	
interval	between	restart	attempts	is	15	seconds	for	setting	04,	and	3	seconds	for	settings	05	
and	06 .	During	the	interval	between	restart	attempts,	the	display	will	read	“SP”	to	indicate	
Start	 Pending .	 If	 all	 three	 restart	 attempts	 fail,	 the	 drive	 will	 trip	 into	 FAULT	 LOCKOUT	
(displayed	“LC”)	and	require	a	manual	reset .	Refer	to	Section	16	-	TROUBLESHOOTING .
NOTE
Settings	02	and	04	-	06	require	a	two-wire	start/stop	circuit	to	operate .	The	RUN	
contact	must	remain	closed	for	the	power-up	start	and	auto-restart	functions	to	
operate .
