got the soft start in. has a label that says be sure it has control voltage before starting so i called auto direct tech support. now i'm more confused. apparently :
i need a 24vdc power supply (no problem)
i need a toggle switch to turn the SS on but the sequence is critical
i can't turn on the SS then turn on the motor on with the foot sw
i can't bypass the contactor because one leg feeds power at all times from the SS os the motor would have one leg hot
i can't shut the power off to the motor before shutting off the SS or i will destroy the SS
so what i left with was i would have to put the SS on the output side of the contactor and immediately after pushing the foot switch i would turn on on the SS. then i would have to remember to turn off the SS then the foot switch.
not enough hands and feet
