ICM Controls ICM870-16A Soft Start reduces damaging inrush current at compressor startup to help prevent breaker trips, light flicker, and unnecessary stress on HVAC, RV, and marine systems. A self-learning control profile, built-in start capacitor, and intelligent monitoring deliver smoother operation and greater reliability.
Reduce Startup Surge: Lowers inrush current for quieter, smoother compressor starts and improved power stability.
Extend Equipment Life: Minimizes heat, vibration, and torque at startup to protect motors and compressors.
Self-Learning Control: Adapts to the connected compressor for consistent, optimized soft starts.
Comprehensive Protection: Over and under voltage monitoring, over-current protection, LED diagnostics, dynamic start delay, and anti short cycle delay.
Rugged IP65 Enclosure: Sealed housing resists dust and moisture for dependable performance in demanding environments.
Sized for 16A RLA: Ideal for single phase compressors up to 16A RLA in residential HVAC, RV, off grid, and marine applications.
Installer Friendly: Built in start capacitor and compact footprint support straightforward professional installation.
Dimensions: 7.9" × 4.2" × 2.1"
Compatibility: Single phase compressors up to 16A RLA. Not intended for systems using Comfort Alert style control boards unless manufacturer guidance permits. Professional installation recommended.
