what is the 'soft-start' system?
913073
This Inverter is configured with the latest Soft-Start Technology. Before introduction of Soft-Start, high startup currents from large inductive loads could shut down the inverter. Soft Start improves inverter operation. Three major features incorporated in SST include: First, gradual voltage ramp-up during inverter startup. This eliminates failed cold starts under load. Second, output that momentarily dips in voltage and quickly recovers to allow large motorized loads to start. This eliminates almost all shutdowns from momentary overloads. Third, the inverter automatically re-starts when an overload that causes inverter shutdown is removed. Previously, manual reset was required.

I'm sorry. Being quite familiar with inverters in general and this one in particular, I don't know what that could possibly mean nor does my manual on it reveal what it means.

Start from the beginning and reprogram everything per the provided instructions.

Yes, that will work just fine. I added drives after I started everything to make the startup price not as bad.

Learning curve isn't horrible. If you know how to install hard drives, the rest is rather simple. The instructions in the box were *slightly* sparse when I received mine, but you wind up getting more up-to-date information online. This is because the full system software is downloaded, rather than included with the DiskStation, to avoid people running on horribly out-of-date stuff. You WILL need an internet connection during initial setup, since it downloads the current DSM (Disk Station Manager) software from Synology during setup (There is a way to do setup *without* an active connection, but it's not worth the hassle in my opinion). Once the DSM software is installed (which is pretty straightforward), you can go about playing with settings. The onboard help function is pretty solid, and there's a ton of information on the Synology forums. TBH, I don't really have to tinker with it unless I want to add features - it's pretty stable on its own. Everything is run via a browser interface, and you can control the IP address and other basic network features just like you would with a laptop or desktop. For more advanced useage: If you have a server (Windows Server, Linux), the system can be told to look to the server for instructions, access permissions, and other things - this would allow you to do more detailed system control without having to keep track of multiple settings.

Not that I am aware of, no. You have to physically start it. That would be a great idea though! But, unlike Tim who thinks they're junk, I really liked mine! It did exactly what I wanted it to! It wasn't perfect by any means, but for the price and what I needed it to do, worth it.

Why not just download some software that bypasses Windows 8's goofy tiled start screen and go immediately to a Windows 7-lookalike screen? Two good downloads are StartIsBack ($3 fee) and Classic Shell (free download). Either of these will make your Windows 8 computer look and act like it's running Windows 7, and you won't have to do any major OS re-loads.

You're correct- it's on the upper half (the motor itself), not the lower half (the fixed base). I've never thought of this as an issue in the 11 years I've had it. When you start it, the base is already sitting on the workpiece, so you're merely balancing it as it starts up anyway. Even if you were to hypothetically pick up the router in the air with one hand and hit the power switch with the other, it wouldn't be an issue with the soft-start motor.

I don't believe so... nothing documented anyway... run it in desktop mode and download Classic Shell.. it gives you a full working start button... Windows 8 feels like 7 after that..

It is truly a push-button start. It works well. The only problem I have had is when it got down to 10 below, the little battery would not turn it over. I fixed that with a $20 trickle charger. Now the battery stays up and warm. Starts good.

No, it cannot be programmed to start later. That would be a SUPER feature though!

No, I don't think so. It starts from scratch. It takes only seconds to re-set though.

No. Perhaps an aftermarket company might make one. This is not an electronic start model and that might be difficult to find something.

Google cowboy studio. There website has instructions how to set up the soft boxes. I had the same issues initially. It feels like you are forcing things.

Comes with live launchpad edition witch is limited to how many tracks you can run but is plenty to jam with starting out. I recommend the APC 20 over this though, it has much more features.

That new of a rig u should be able to get a remote start that is plug n play so to say

Easy to set up and control start stop functions. I´ve been using it for two years (not every day) and still works fine. I recomned it!

unfortunately i do not know. i have the system, and as far as i am concerned it is junk, but it will suffice for now.
