TURN ALL POWER OFF BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

Route ALL SoftStart wires into the electrical box. Then crimp Connectors onto all SoftStart wires as indicated in drawing.

NOTE: Instructions are separate for Compressors A and B because wires colors are different. Work with one Compressor and one SoftStart at a time to avoid confusion.

COMPRESSOR A INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1A. Follow the Yellow Compressor wire to the “C” terminal of the Run Capacitor. Disconnect and connect to the Blue SoftStart wire.

Step 2A. Connect Black SoftStart wire to the terminal on the Run Capacitor that the Yellow Compressor wire was on.

Step 3A. Connect the Yellow Softstart wire on a terminal next to the Purple Compressor wire on the Herm terminals.

Step 4A. Disconnect the PTCR Red wire from the Herm Run Capacitor. Seal end with electrical tape and drop it. 

Step 5A. Follow Orange Compressor wire to the relay. Disconnect and connect to the Brown SoftStart wire. Tape connection.

Step 6A. Connect the Red SoftStart wire on the terminal that the Orange Compressor wire was on.

COMPRESSOR B INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1B. Follow White Compressor wire to “C” terminal of Run Capacitor. Disconnect and connect to Blue Softstart wire. Tape connection.

Step 2B. Connect Black SoftStart wire to the terminal on the Run Capacitor that the White Compressor Wire was on.

Step 3B. Connect Yellow SoftStart wire on a terminal next to the Red Compressor wire.

Step 4B. Disconnect the PTCR Red wire from the Herm Run Capacitor. Seal end with electrical tape and drop it. 

Step 5B. Follow Black compressor wire to the relay. Disconnect and connect to the Brown SoftStart wire. Tape connection.

Step 6B. Connect the Red SoftStart wire on the Terminal the Black Compressor wire was on. Secure all wires. Tape connections with electrical tape. 

Turn Power and A/C Breaker on. Turn A/C to Auto Cool setting and the thermostat to 55ºF.

Look at SoftStart LED lights. Green light should be “On” (green light means the Compressor is running). There may be a full 3-minute delay before green light comes on. 

If green light comes on, shut off power to A/C. Re-install all A/C covers. Turn A/C back on and run for 30 minutes.

IF there is no green light after 4 minutes, call SoftStart Tech Support for assistance.
