SoftStartRV

SoftStartRV is a soft starter designed to reduce the startup surge of air conditioners and other motor-driven appliances in RVs. It decreases inrush currents by up to 70%, protects the power supply, reduces wear on compressors, and ensures smooth operation even with limited power sources.

• Inrush Current Reduction: Reduces startup surge by 70%, preventing damage to compressors and other equipment.
• Power Efficiency: Enables efficient startup with minimal power required.
• Compact Design: Up to 52% smaller than other models.
• Weatherproof: Waterproof housing suitable for outdoor environments.
• Easy Installation: Quick installation with no cutting or splicing.
• Protection: Auto-restart after a brief power failure.

• Improved Power Efficiency: Start multiple AC units on a smaller generator or lower amperage.
• Extended Equipment Life: Reduces mechanical strain and surge currents that wear out components.
• Reliable Support: Free shipping, returns, and a 3-year warranty with expert tech support.

• Maximum surge current: 120A
• Startup time: 1.5 seconds
• Operating temperature: -40°F to 185°F
• Dimensions: 4.5 x 3.5 x 2.25 inches
• Weight: 1 lb. 5 oz.

Q: My SoftStartRV isn't working. What should I do?
A:

• Check the power supply voltage (110-240V AC).
• Ensure all connections are secure and properly wired.
• Make sure that the SoftStartRV is not damaged.

Q: Why is my A/C unit still drawing too much power during startup?
A:

• Verify that the SoftStartRV is compatible with your unit’s amperage.
• Confirm that it’s correctly installed, following the installation guide.

Q: My RV generator is shutting down when the A/C starts.
A:

• Ensure that the generator’s wattage is adequate (minimum 2000W for SoftStartRV).
• Try reducing the load on the generator by turning off other appliances.
• Check the generator's fuel and maintenance status.

Q: The SoftStartRV is making noise during operation, is this normal?
A:

• SoftStartRV may make a slight humming or clicking sound during startup, which is normal.
• If the noise is continuous or accompanied by malfunction, inspect the unit for damage.

Q: The A/C system won’t start after installation.
A:

• Double-check wiring and ensure that the SoftStartRV is installed properly.
• If you previously had a direct connection, ensure all components are reset.

Q: Will SoftStartRV work with any RV A/C unit?
A:
SoftStartRV is designed to work with most RV air conditioners, but it’s always best to verify that your specific model is supported by checking the current ratings.

Q: Can I run multiple air conditioners with SoftStartRV?
A:
No, SoftStartRV is designed for use with one A/C unit at a time. If you want to run multiple units, consider using multiple SoftStartRV devices.

Q: How does SoftStartRV save energy?
A:
By reducing the inrush current during startup, SoftStartRV ensures your A/C runs more efficiently, drawing less power from your generator or power supply.

Q: Can SoftStartRV be installed in any RV?
A:
Yes, SoftStartRV is compatible with most RVs. However, ensure that your A/C system matches the requirements for amperage and voltage.

Q: Does SoftStartRV void my RV’s warranty?
A:
No, using SoftStartRV will not void your warranty. However, it’s always recommended to check with your RV manufacturer for specific warranty terms related to aftermarket installations.
