QR Scanner (for V6 series starters) The app allows operators to read (via QR code) and share important information about trip conditions with electrical support staff no matter where they are. This means your machinery will be back at work in double quick time. During operation the V6 soft starter monitors and protects you motor and machine. When a fault condition is detected the starter trips to protect your system and displays the trip cause on the local control panel. If the operator is not trained or qualified to diagnose and reset the system, the app allows them to upload and e-mail operational and trip data to support staff. It’s as simple as taking a photo and forwarding a message. Support Contacts Database Need support for your V6 soft starter?
