INSTALLATION OF SMART START ASSIST
The Smart Start Assist Kit includes all components required for installation. The Smart Start Assist (SSA) module attaches to the unit by clipping onto its plastic holder (base).
The Smart Start Assist module can be mounted with its terminal block facing left or right, depending on the unit configurations (left or right discharge air).
Required Tools

• Small Flat Head Screwdriver
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Torque Screwdriver
• Drill with 1/8” Bit

DANGER: ELECTRIC SHOCK
Before performing service or maintenance operations on the system, turn off the electrical power to the unit and observe the proper process of locking-out power at the main/ disconnect box. Electrical shock could cause personal injury or death

Disconnecting Power and Removing Panels

1. Remove power to the unit. Be sure to follow all applicable state and federal laws and regulations concerning lock out and tag out for the power source. Use a multi-meter to verify there is no power at the unit.
   The unit may contain two (2) power sources. Ensure both are de-energized and locked out/tagged out.

2. Unscrew the visible screws on the main unit access panels and remove the panels in order to access the main unit electrical control box.

Hardware Installation
Follow the steps below to mount the Smart Start Assist (SSA) module to the top of the electrical control box.

Both Horizontal (HZ) and Vertical (VT) configurations use the same mounting procedure.

1. Remove the mounting base from the Smart Start Assist module. To do this, use a small flat screwdriver and press outwards on the clip-on tabs, located on either side of the module. Refer to Fig. 2.
2. Attach the mounting base to the main unit electrical box as follows.

For the SM model:

Wiring Instructions
The Smart Start Assist module comes with a termination block located at the front of the device.
The Smart Start Assist kit comes with its own harness with wires labeled according to the terminal block on the Smart Start Assist module for easy identification.
Torque all terminals according to torque specifications of the Smart Start Assist module (refer to Physical Characteristics table on page #4) and contactor (refer to component label for torque requirements).
Electrical Box (e-box) shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 15 are for reference only. The actual components in the unit’s electrical box vary depending on the installed options.

Wiring Instructions for SM Models

MODES OF OPERATIONS

Fig. 22 Smart Start Basic Operation

SOFTWARE CHARACTERISTICS

LED FLASH CODES
A Red LED indicator will flash under the following conditions:

• Low Voltage
• Lockout on Three (3) Failed Starts
• Lockout on Over Current
• Cycle Delay/Fault Mode

LED fault indicator is turned off in normal running mode.

Low Voltage
(Flash Code = Rapid Flash, 10 per second)

• Displays when “Low-Supply Voltage” is detected before and after a soft start.
• If “Low-Supply Voltage” is detected before a start, a restart is attempted after 50 seconds.
• If “Low-Supply Voltage” is detected after a start, a restart is attempted after 3 seconds.

Lockout on Three (3) Failed Starts (Flash Code = Triple Flash every 3 seconds, 3/3 seconds)

• Displays after a failure to start on Three (3) consecutive start attempts.
• Restart is attempted after 50 minutes
• The standard lockout period is revised to 3 minutes after a successful start.

In circumstances where the compressor may have seized or is unable to start due to failure of other components in the HVAC system, the software checks for three (3)  consecutive failed starts.
On the third sequential failed start, the program goes into Lockout for 50 minutes.
On failing to get a good start even after 50 minutes, it will attempt a restart again after the duration of 50 minutes.
Once a good start is eventually achieved, it will reset the hard-start counter and will again require three (3) failed starts to force it back into Lockout mode. Lockouts can be cleared anytime through a power reset of the Sure Start Assist device.

Lockout on Overcurrent
(Flash Code = Slow Flash, 1 Flash every 3 seconds)

• Displays when “Overcurrent” is detected in the running mode of the compressor motor.
• The overcurrent limit is 25A for the 08–16A version and 50A for the 16–32A-rated version.
• It also displays if the internal Klixon of the compressor trips on overheat.
• Restart is attempted after 10 minutes.

To limit the current in the compressors from extending abnormally beyond its stated capacities, Sure Start Assist is also equipped with overcurrent-limit protection. For models rated from 16–32A, it is designed to trip in overload conditions exceeding 50A. In smaller models, it is designed to cut off power to the compressor when the current draw exceeds 25A. On an overcurrent lockout, Sure Start Assist attempts a restart automatically after 10 minutes.
Both failed start lockout and overcurrent-limit protection have been designed to prevent the compressor from drawing abnormal currents in conditions not feasible for the compressor operation.

Cycle Delay/Fault Mode
(Flash Code = Slow Steady Flash, 1 per second)

• Displays for cycle delay between two consecutive soft starts or other faults are mentioned below.
• Restart is attempted after a default period of 3 minutes
• Other possible reasons for this fault mode indicator can be due to:
• Incorrect wiring during installation
• A failed soft start attempt
• Intermittent power loss (duration longer than 100ms)
• Frequency out of range, or
• A failed run capacitor
