How can the ATS480 soft starter be set up to run a small motor?

Issue:
How can the ATS480 soft starter run a small motor without tripping?

Product Line:
ATS480

Environment:
All

Cause:
NA

Resolution:
Small motor test setting [SST] is a parameter found under Menu 3 [Complete settings] CST then in Menu 3.3 [Motor wiring] MWMT.
This parameter can be used to perform a test using a small motor.
When set to YES the Phase loss monitoring (PHP) is disabled and the Control Mode (CLP) is forced to Voltage Control.
This will allow the unit to normally start when a run command is applied During the test, the display terminal displays the state [Small Motor Test] SST.

This parameter automatically resets to NO following a power cycle.

lowest rating possible for test motor

SST: Small Motor Test is not visible in SoMove ATS480 DTM version 1.1.10.0 so the parameter change must be made using a keypad.  It is unclear at this point if future versions will make this parameter available in SoMove.
