Caution Statements 

 

WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

 

The ASTAT XL contains dangerous voltages when connected to mains voltage. Only a 

qualified electrician should carry out the electrical installation. Improper installation of the 

motor or the ASTAT XL may cause equipment failure, serious injury or death. Follow this 

manual and local electrical safety codes. 

 

 

AVERTISSEMENT - DANGER D'ELECTROCUTION

 

L’

ASTAT XL 

contient des tensions dangereuses lorsqu'il est raccordé à l'alimentation 

secteur. Seul un électricien compétent peut effectuer l'installation électrique. Une 
mauvaise installation du moteur ou de l’

ASTAT XL 

peut déclencher une panne 

d'équipement, provoquer de graves blessures ou même la mort. Suivre les instructions 
de ce manuel et des codes locaux concernant la sécurité électrique.

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

Many electronic components are sensitive to static electricity. Voltages so low that they 

cannot be felt, seen or heard, can reduce the life, affect performance, or completely destroy 

sensitive electronic components. When performing service, proper ESD equipment should be 

used to prevent possible damage from occurring.     

 

 

NOTE

 

The ASTAT XL soft starter is not user serviceable.    The unit should only be serviced by 

authorised service personnel.    Unauthorised tampering with the unit will void the product 

warranty. 

 

 

 

GROUNDING AND BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTION

 

It is the responsibility of the user or person installing the ASTAT XL to provide proper grounding 

and branch circuit protection according to local electrical safety codes.   

 
 

The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes.    The 

information contained in this manual is subject to change at any time and without prior notice. In no 

event will responsibility or liability be accepted for direct, indirect or consequential damages resulting 

from the use or application of this equipment. 

 

 

1.1

 

Electrical Shock Risk 

The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may be lethal: 

 

AC supply cables and connections 

 

Output cables and connections 

 

Many internal parts of the starter, and external option units 

The AC supply must be disconnected from the starter using an approved isolation device before any 

cover is removed from the starter or before any servicing work is performed. 

 

 

WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

 

Models QLxxB0500D~QLxxX1600D: The busbar and heatsink must be treated as live whenever 

the unit has mains voltage connected (including when the starter is tripped or waiting for a 

command). 

 

 

 

AVERTISSEMENT - DANGER D'ELECTROCUTION

 

Modèles QLxxB0500D à QLxxX1600D : Les barres de puissance et le radiateur doivent être traités 

comme étant des éléments sous tension si l'appareil est relié au secteur (y compris lorsque le 

démarreur s'est mis en sécurité ou s'il attend une commande).
