This document provides service instructions for GE ASTAT ®-IBP Plus Solid State Starters. It covers procedures for removing and replacing various components such as the cover, logic board, power supply board, protection board, and SCR modules. Detailed steps are provided for each replacement process, including necessary tools and materials. The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide with common symptoms, possible causes, and measures to take, as well as a renewal parts list with catalog numbers and prices.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| Symptom or Error & (Error Code) | Possible Cause | Measures to Be Taken |
| Display OFF | No control voltage. | Check wire harness and control voltage |
| Main breaker tripped or fuse blown | Check and change. | |
| F1 fuse blown on power supply PCB | Verify connectors. | |
| Bad connection of flat ribbon wire joining power supply PCB to control PCB | Check power supply board and logic board for 5VDC. Use a DC voltmeter on the power supply board, (-) lead of voltmeter on the top lead of C6 (located next to the black heatsink on the right edge of the power supply board) and the (+) lead of voltmeter on top lead of Diode AD21 or R25 (located on the upper right corner of the power supply board.) | |
| F2 fuse blown on power supply PCB | Check and change. | |
| Equipment does not respond to STOP / START controls | No 1L1 phase or frequency is out of range | Check 1L1 phase and/or mains frequence |
| Frequency error (admits 45Hz ≤ f main ≤ 65Hz) (Ex10) | Excessive load or excessive current during starting | Verify overload conditions during starting time and steady state. Check settings in parameters "Nxxx", "Lxxx", and "oxxx" |
| Overload trip (Ex11) | Phase 1L1 lost | Check 1L1 phase |
| Synchronism loss (Ex13) Phase A, B, C thyristor (Ex14) (Ex15) (Ex16) | Short circuited thyristor | Check thyristor module. |
| No output phases | Check ground connections and voltage to ground. Poor ribbon cable connection | |
| Heatsink thermostat (Ex17) | Heatsink thermostat tripped by overheating or defective | Check 2T1, 4T2 and 6T3 phases Check for adequate ventilation. Check thermostat and wiring |
| Motor thermistor(Ex18) | Motor thermistor tripped by overheating or defective | Check thermistor and wiring, if no thermistor terminal 5 and 6 must be jumpered |
| Phase A, B, C loss (Ex19) (Ex20) (Ex21) | No input / output phases | Check power wire harness for 1L1, 3L2, 5L3, 2T1, 4T2 and 6T3 |
| Stalled rotor (Ex22) | Defective thyristor or ribbon wire harness loose or defective Equipment detected stalled motor rotor | Verify gate and cathode wire harness. Verify thyristors Restart equipment and check for an appreciable loss in motor speed at any time |
| Internal error (Ex23) | Micro-controller malfunction | Check IC1 and IC8 are correctly inserted in their sockets. Check for noise on control voltage power or line |
| Long start time (Ex25) | Current limit condition present more than 2 x ta sec. or 240 sec. (ta = acceleration ramp time) | Increase current limit and / or acceleration ramp time |
| Lock-out (Ex27) | The time between startings is less that the adjusted in parameter "LKxx" | Check if settings are correct. This protection may be disabled |
| Undervoltage (Ex28) Overvoltage (Ex29) | The line voltage exceeds of limit set in parameters "UVxx" or "OVxx" | Check if settings are correct. This protection may be disabled |
| Undercurrent (Ex30) Overcurrent (Ex31) | The motor current exceeds of limit set in parameters "UCxx" or "OCxx" | Check if settings are correct. This protection may be disabled |
