The Altistart 48 soft start combines ease of selection with simple installation and high motor control performance. With its exclusive and patented motor Torque Control System, the Altistart 48 eliminates uncontrolled motor acceleration and deceleration, a problem inherent with standard voltage–ramp soft starts. The Altistart 48 provides complete motor and machine protection and is available for motors ranging from 208 to 575 volts. In addition to a built–in display and programming terminal, a remote keypad option and programming software is available to ease integration and commissioning. The Altistart 48 has a built–in Modbus port and is offered with serial communication gateways to such popular networks as Ethernet and DeviceNet.
