Q&A
General Performance and Benefits

Q: How do I know if my SoftStartUp is working?
A: Look at the LED indicators. Two green lights indicate a 50-amp service, and one green light means a 30-amp connection. You should also notice smoother appliance startups with no tripped breakers or flickering lights.

Q: Will SoftStartUp reduce my RV’s power consumption?
A: It does not lower the normal running power of appliances. Instead, it manages the inrush current at startup to prevent power spikes and interruptions.

Compatibility and Usage
Q: Can I use SoftStartUp with a 30-amp power source?
A: Yes, by using the provided 30-to-50-amp adapter, you can safely connect to a 30-amp supply.

Q: Will it work with my generator in ECO mode?
A: No. ECO mode does not provide sufficient startup power for high-demand appliances like air conditioners.

Installation and Setup
Q: Do I need special tools to install SoftStartUp?
A: No tools are required. It is a plug-and-play device that connects directly between the power source and your RV.

Q: Can I use SoftStartUp in combination with a surge protector and voltage booster?
A: Yes. Plug the surge protector into the power pedestal first, followed by the voltage booster, then connect the SoftStartUp, and finally plug in your RV.

Environmental and Maintenance Considerations
Q: Can SoftStartUp be used in extreme weather conditions?
A: Yes, but avoid direct sunlight in high heat and protect it from freezing water in cold conditions.

Q: Does SoftStartUp require maintenance?
A: It is maintenance-free but should be periodically checked for secure connections and cleaned of dust or debris.

Customer Support and Warranty
Q: What should I do if my SoftStartUp is not performing as expected?
A: Check connections, verify power sources, and consult the troubleshooting guide. If issues persist, contact customer support.

Q: What is the warranty policy for SoftStartUp?
A: The device comes with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee and a 1-year limited warranty. Contact support for claims or technical assistance.

Troubleshooting
Problem: No LED Indicators Showing After Plugging In To Power Source
  • Ensure all power connections are secure and properly plugged in.
  • Verify that the campground power supply is functioning correctly.
  • If using a generator, confirm that it is turned on and providing adequate power.
  • If the issue persists, contact tech support
Problem: Appliances Still Tripping Breakers
  • Check that the SoftStartUp is installed correctly between the power source and the RV.
  • Ensure that the total power demand of your appliances does not exceed the available power supply.
  • If using a 30-amp connection, verify that the correct adapter is used.
  • Inspect the RV’s electrical system for any existing wiring or breaker issues.
Problem: Air Conditioner Does Not Start Smoothly
  • Confirm that the SoftStartUp is connected properly and LED indicators show power availability.
  • Check if the generator is operating in ECO mode; if so, disable it.
  • Ensure that the air conditioner is within the power limitations of the generator or campground supply.
  • If an additional soft starter is installed on the A/C, confirm that it is functioning properly alongside the SoftStartUp.
Problem: SoftStartUp Works on Shore Power but Not with Generator
  • Make sure the generator is providing stable voltage output.
  • Disable generator ECO mode if active.
  • If using an EMS surge protector, verify if a generator bonding plug is required.
  • Try resetting the SoftStartUp by unplugging and reconnecting it.
Problem: Dimming Lights When Appliances Start
  • Verify that the SoftStartUp is installed in the correct sequence.
  • Check if the total power consumption exceeds the available amp capacity.
  • Ensure that no loose or damaged wiring exists within the RV’s electrical system.
Problem: Surge Protector Tripping When Using SoftStartUp
  • Connect the surge protector directly to the power pedestal before the SoftStartUp.
  • Ensure the surge protector is rated for the amperage of your RV’s power system.
  • Check for campground power fluctuations that may be causing the surge protector to activate.

Works at Home and On the Road

I can run both Air Conditioners in my RV, from my generators. I also use one at home, to run my household items from my battery bank. I can even run the house AC, on my 30-amp feed, as it keeps the amperage sike to about 23 Amps. It also works well to keep the power spike under control from the microwave. It is not just for RVs.
