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.

Step 1.  Follow Red Compressor wire from Compressor to Run Capacitor “C” terminal. Disconnect from “C” terminal and connect it to Blue SoftStart wire.

Step 2.  Connect Black SoftStart wire to the terminal that the Red Compressor wire was on.

Step 3.  Connect Yellow SoftStart wire on a terminal next to Blue Compressor Wire on “H” Herm terminal of Run Capacitor.

Step 4.  Disconnect Blue Start Capacitor wire next to Blue Compressor wire on “H” Herm terminal. Seal end with electrical tape and drop it. 

Step 5.  Remove Compressor cap. Disconnect Yellow Compressor Wire and connect to Red SoftStart wire. Tape connection. NOTE: Do not place wires back under the Compressor cap.

Step 6.  With Female Connector on a flat surface, bend yellow part up (see image at right). Connect Brown SoftStart wire on the Compressor terminal that the Yellow wire was on. Route Brown wire to exit cap with Red and Blue wires. Replace cap.

Secure all wires to prevent fan from pulling wires into it. 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). It may take 3 minutes before Green light turns “On.”

If Green light turns“On”, turn off A/C. Re-install all A/C covers. Turn A/C back on and run for 30 minutes.

IF there is no Green light, call SoftStart Tech Support for assistance.
