[Patent Pending]
SPECIFICATIONS:
Input: 240 Volts AC, 30 amps, 4 wire
Output: 120 Volts AC, 15Amps (each outlet)
Ambient operating temperature: 0° - 110°F
Duty: Heavy
WARNING:
- Not recommended for induction motor with high inertia load.
- Requires pure sine wave supply power.
- Do not use with machine that already has soft-start feature.
- The theoretical ramp time of this soft starter is approximately 2 seconds.
- The GS12b is not recommended for use with some induction motors, however, induction motors with low inertia load such as a saw may be suitable.
- Capacitor start induction motors must be at full speed within 3 seconds of being switched on.
- If your induction motor takes longer than 3 seconds to reach full speed, discontinue use of Soft Starter immediately.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Indoor use only.
- Plug the GS12b into your power receptacle.
- Plug your equipment in to the corresponding front outlet of the Soft Starter.
RAMP TIMES:
Ramp time is the duration of time required for the Soft Starter output to reach full line voltage.
GS12b ramp time: about 2 seconds
