ADXL SERIES
SIMPLE, EFFICIENT AND SAFE MOTOR
CONTROL
5 SIMPLE
The new ADXL soft starter series is equipped with a backlit LCD
display with icons and NFC connectivity, for a simple configuration,
possible also via smartphones and tablets. They are ideal for simple
“plug and play” applications, thanks to the installation AUTO SET
wizard, and for high-performance applications, with control and
protection during the motor startup and operation.
EFFICIENCY
After the start-up is completed, the soft starter closes the internal
bypass contacts and reduces energy consumption.
SAFETY
ADXL built-in functions allow to protect the connected motor and the
starter; it’s capable of monitoring the motor thermal status, to
manage the thermal protection, and its internal temperature, in order
to protect the SCR from overtemperature. Furthermore, a motor
overtemperature protection can be enabled through an external PTC
temperature sensor.
Expert users can customize the settings through the complete parameter menu.

MAINTENANCE COUNTERS
ADXLs have two counters dedicated to count the number of start-ups and the
motor operation hours. It is possible to set a threshold for the operation hours;
when this threshold is exceeded, a dedicated alarm is triggered. MONITORING AND REMOTE CONTROL

The fan is supplied as an accessory for sizes from 30 to 115A, while it is built-in for control software , it’s possible to constantly monitor all the measures
