Route All SoftstartRV wires into the electrical box. Crimp a connector on the wires as indicated
in the
Softstart box at the top of the drawing.
Step 1) Follow the White compressor wire to the “C” terminal of the RUN Capacitor. Disconnect and
connect it to the Blue SoftstartRV wire.
Step 2) Connect the Black SoftstartRV wire on the terminal the White compressor wire was on.
Step 3) Follow the Red compressor wire from the compressor to the “HERM” terminal. DO
NOT DISCONNECT RED COMPRESSOR WIRE
. Connect the Yellow SoftstartRV wire on the
Terminal next to the Red compressor wire if it is available (see next step).

Step 4) IF you see a 2nd Red wire next to the Red compressor wire DISCONNECT it, tape the end and
drop it. Then connect the Yellow SoftstartRV wire on the Terminal where you pulled the second
Red wire o .
Step 5) Follow the Black compressor wire to the Compressor relay where it has a second Black wire
piggybacked on to it. Pull o the second Black wire that was piggybacked to the Black Compressor
wire. Connect the Brown SoftstartRV wire to the Black compressor wire.
Step 6) Connect the Red SoftstartRV wire (you have already put a piggyback connector on it) to the
Relay Terminal where you pulled the Black Compressor o . Now take the loose Black wire and put
it on the piggyback Red SoftstartRV wire.
Before turning the power back on, secure wires to prevent the fan from pulling them in. Turn Power
and A/C breaker on, Turn Fan on High until you hear it running, Turn A/C to Auto Cool set
Thermostat to 55 degrees.
Look at the SoftstartRV for a Green light (There may be a full 3 min delay before the Green
light comes on).
When you see the Green Light, Turn the power o and replace all covers then turn the A/C back
on
and allow it to run for 30 min at about 2 degrees below the outside temperature whichshould give
it time to cycle a few times.

Step 1) Follow the White Compressor wire to Run Capacitor “C” Terminal. Disconnect and connect it
to the Blue SoftstartRV wire.
Step 2) Connect the Black SoftstartRV wire to the terminal the White wire was on.
Step 3) Follow the Red compressor wire from the compressor to the “HERM” terminal. At that point
you will notice that the Red Compressor is on a Double Connector with a second Red wire.
DO
NOT DISCONNECT Eit her of the RED WIRES
. Connect the Yellow SoftstartRV wire on the
Terminal next to the Red compressor wire if it is available (see next step).
Step 4) IF you see a 2nd Red wire next to the Connector with the double Red wires,
DISCONNECT it,
tape the end and drop it. Then connect the Yellow SoftstartRV wire on the Terminal where you
pulled o the second Red wire.

NOTE: IF you see a PTCR (see picture above), P ull it o the Terminal and remove the connector with
the double red wires. Then put the connector with the double Red wires back on the Terminal
where the PTCR was. If you then see another Red wire next to it, DISCONNECT it, tape the end and
drop it. Then Connect the Yellow SoftstartRV wire on the Terminal where you just pulled o the
Red wire.
Step 5) Follow the Black Compressor wire to the “PUR” Terminal (Purple wire will be directly
across
from it), Disconnect the Black wire and connect it to the Brown SoftstartRV wire.
Step 6) Connect the Red SoftstartRV wire on the Terminal that the Black compressor wire was on.
Before turning the power back on, secure wires to prevent the fan from pulling them in.
Turn the
Power and A/C breaker on, Turn the Fan on High until you hear it running, then Turn the A/C to
Auto Cool and set the Thermostat to 55 degrees.
Look at the SoftstartRV for a Green light (There may be a full 3 min delay before the
Green light
comes on).
After you see the Green Light, Turn the power o , tidy up your wires and replace all
covers. Then
turn the A/C back on and allow it to run for 30 min at about 2 degrees below the outside
temperature which should allow it to cycle a few times.

Follow White Compressor wire to “C” terminal on Run Capacitor. Disconnect from terminal and connect it to Blue SoftStart wire.
Seal connection with electrical tape.
Connect Black SoftStart wire to the terminal that the White Compressor wire was on.
Connect Yellow SoftStart wire on terminal next to Red Compressor wire on HERM side of Run Capacitor.
IF there is a second Red wire next to Red Compressor wire on HERM side of Run Capacitor, disconnect it, seal end with tape and drop it.
Follow Black Compressor wire to the Terminal Block. Disconnect Black wire from Terminal Block and connect to Brown SoftStart wire.
Connect Red SoftStart wire onto the terminal that the Black Compressor wire was on.
Secure all wires. Tape connections with electrical tape.
Turn Power and A/C Breaker on. Turn A/C to Auto Cool setting and the thermostat to 55ºF.
Look at SoftStart LED lights. Green light should be “on”. Green light means the Compressor is running (there may be a full 3-minute delay before
Green light comes on). IF there is no Green light after 4 minutes, call SoftStart Tech Support for assistance.
Re-install all A/C covers. Turn A/C on, set near to outdoor temperature and run for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, operate A/C normally.
