Synergy – Redefining Soft Starters

With a unique combination of features, performance and size, Fairford has redefined the benchmark for soft starter design. The incorporation of Fairford’s unique iERS technology allows synergy to deliver unrivaled soft start performance alongside energy saving capability on partially loaded motors. With product size and cabinet capacity becoming an increasing focus we developed synergy to deliver the greatest power to size ratio of any other soft starter. In addition synergy uses Fairford’s globally renowned Automatic Setup feature which allows the user to programme the unit to any common application using a simple 4 button process. To keep pace with the modern technology, synergy removes the need for buttons and uses intuitive touch screen technology. With built in full motor overload protection as well as full data logging, field serviceable fans, upgradeable firmware and extensive input/output programmability, synergy meets all of the key design criteria.

Features and Benefits

Ease of Use

The display will show all messages in full and in multiple languages. The use of graphic/schematic images will aid understanding. Detailed logging will aid setup and onboard USB will allow configurations to be upload/downloaded and emailed.

Touch Screen

Colour Touch screen on all versions.

Plug n Play

The SoftStarter will ‘tune’ itself to the load.

Auto Set Up

The automatic functionality has been expanded so that more features can be configured without referring to parameter lists.

Optimizing

Energy optimizing is combined with bypass to give energy saving in more applications.

Serviceability

Field replaceable fans.

Warranty

2yr warranty. This is made economically viable by the comprehensive logging features, so fault conditions can be easily identified.

Notice

For soft starters the size determination is dependent on the application – i.e. the inrush current to start the motor which depends on the type of motor and the inertia of the load, as well as the number of starts per minute that may be required. Please contact our offices to help pick the part number depending on motor size and application.
