The ABB 1SFA897109R7009 is a demo unit of the PSE105-600-70D soft starter, designated as PSE105-600-70D Demo. It carries the same product main type (PSE105) as the production unit, but its purpose is demonstration, not permanent installation in a motor-starting circuit. Lifecycle status is active, meaning ABB still supports this order code for its intended demo role. It is not a discontinued or end-of-life part.
Demo vs. production unit — the practical difference
The demo designation means this unit is intended for evaluation, training, or trade-show use. It is functionally a PSE105-600-70D soft starter, but it ships without the full production packaging, documentation set, or warranty that a standard PSE105-600-70D carries. For a line-down replacement, source the production order code, not this demo variant. If you already have a failed PSE105-600-70D and are considering this demo unit as a substitute, verify with your ABB channel partner whether the demo unit's firmware and hardware revision match the production unit's current release. The demo may run an earlier firmware load.
