1.1 Physical Layout of the Controller
1.2 Typical Physical Layout
Figure 1.0 shows a typical layout of the GALaxy controller in a standard G.A.L. cabinet. Below, is a brief
description of each block:
1. Main Control Board: The 1064 main control board contains input and output devices, controller
switches, fuses and field wiring terminal connections.
2. Safety Processor Board: The Safety Processor board uses a microprocessor and a PAL device to
implement the independent speed and redundancy checks required for A17.1‐2000 compliance.
This board has its own LCD interface for parameter adjustment and diagnostics.
3. Main CPU: The TS‐5300 computer board is a single board IBM compatible computer (see
Appendix C for GALX-1100 information.). It executes the program and turns on and off the
inputs and outputs.
4. LCD Interface: The 1021/1101/1005 LCD Interface board provides a user interface to all
controller adjustment and setup parameters. It also shows diagnostic information.
5. Power Supply: The power supply provides power to the computer and its peripheral boards. It is
a 5-volt DC regulated power supply rated at 3 amps with overvoltage, and short circuit
protection.
6. Dynamic Braking Resistors: Additional space for dynamic braking resistors and brake resistors.
7. Options: This section of the controller can be used for options such as the Hall Call I/O board,
job specific I/O expansion and a digital PI display driver.
8. Transformer: The system transformer is located in the lower part of the cabinet. It is usually a
500VA building power to 120VAC transfer. It is used to convert the building power to a lower
voltage for the signals and other controller functions.
9. Contactors: These are various contactors used for the brake, brake cooling, and run control.
10. Drive: Magnetek DSD‐412 DC SCR Drive, Magnetek DC Quattro, HPV‐ 600/900/900 PM or KEB

1.3 Selector System
The selector system for the GALaxy controller can be either a tape system or tapeless one.
1.4 Tape Selector System
The tape system uses a perforated steel tape that is hung the length of the Hoistway. A set of magnets
are placed on the tape at each floor having one 8 magnet as the door zone magnet and one to five
smaller 2” magnets as binary position preset magnets. The selector is mounted on the car and is guided
along the tape by nylon guides to keep the tape and magnets the proper distance from the selector
sensors. The controller uses the door zone magnet to determine the elevator’s level position relative to
the floor. At the dead level position, the binary preset inputs are read in order to verify that the car is at
the correct floor. A block diagram of the tape system is shown in Figure 1.1.

1.5 Tapeless System
The tapeless system uses an absolute encoder
mounted on the governor and a four sensor
selector on
the car top to read the door zone
magnet for each floor. The door zone magnets
are placed in the
corner of the rail.
There are two configurations of the tapeless
system; 485 configuration and CAN
Open
configuration. The 485 configuration uses the governor mounted encoder for secondary speed
feedback and for absolute position of the car.
The CAN Open configuration uses the governor
mounted encoder for the primary speed
feedback and position of the car. The encoder is
coupled to a
rotating shaft on the governor. If
the governor on the job does not have a rotating
shaft, it must be
replaced with one that does
The door zone sensors are used for exact floor
position on stop and releveling the car. A block diagram
of the tapeless selector system using an Absolute Encoder is shown
in Figure 1.2. The tapeless selector
system using an CAN Open Encoder is shown in Figure 1.2A.
1.6 Secondary Speed Feedback
With a tape system, the tape is perforated with
3/8 inch holes every 3/8 of an inch. A sensor is
mounted
on the selector to provide a secondary
speed feedback to the Safety Processor Board.
With the 485
tapeless system, the Safety
Processor receives position information from the
absolute encoder and uses
the change in
position to calculate velocity. With the CAN open
tapeless system, the Safety Processor
receives
position information from the machine mounted
incremental encoder and uses the change in
position to calculate velocity. With all three
methods, the Safety Processor uses this velocity
to verify
that the car is traveling at a safe speed
when slowdown limits are activated, when the
car doors are
open and when running on
inspection. There are two type of inputs used to
verify the car speed at the
terminal landing. The
“UT & DT” slowdown limits are always used to
verify the velocity of the car at the
terminal
landings. The emergency slowdown limits “UTS & DTS” are used on traction cars greater
than 200 fpm, traction cars with reduced stroke
buffers and all hydro cars. Traction cars less than
200
fpm read the “UTS & DTS” velocity values
but will not shut the car down from the velocity
check. For
all control systems, the “UT & DT”
limits are used to verify the operation of “UTS &
DTS” and vice versa.
1.7 Modes of Operation
1.8 Operating Sequence
Normal elevator operation, Automatic Mode, is
selectivecollective. When the elevator is
traveling
upwards to answer calls, all up hall calls
at floors above the car are answered in the order
reached by the
car, regardless of the order in
which the calls were registered. Upon reaching
each landing with a car call
or hall call registered,
the car and hall doors at that floor are
automatically opened.
The doors stay opened for a dwell time that is
field adjustable. There are three different dwell
times
depending on whether it is a lobby call, car
call, or hall call. The door will close before the
set dwell time
has elapsed if a passenger presses
the door close button. The door will reopen
before it is fully closed if
the door open button is
pressed, if a passenger pushes on the safety
edge, if the photoeye light beam is
interrupted,
or if a call for that floor in the direction of travel
is pushed. The door will close when the
door
opening condition is eliminated. When the door
has fully closed, the calls are answered.
When all up hall calls and car calls above the car
have been answered, the elevator reverses
direction
and travels downward to answer car
calls and down hall calls placed below the car.
The calls are
answered as previously described
for up calls. When all calls below a down car are
answered, the car
reverses direction to repeat
the cycle. In short, an elevator traveling up will
bypass down hall calls, and
an elevator traveling
down will bypass up hall calls.
In buildings with more than one elevator
grouped together, the actual time of arrival,
“real time”, is
used to estimate how long each
elevator will take to answer a hall call. The
elevator that can respond
the fastest takes the
call. Real time based dispatching permits the
controllers to quickly respond to
actual demand
for elevator service. Some of the criteria used to
estimate the time of arrival are listed
below:
Actual elevator floor to floor runs times.
Actual run time to the floor whether it is
a multi‐floor run or a one floor run.
Whether the elevator is in or out of
service.
Whether the elevator is in load weigh
bypass mode.
The direction and position of each
elevator in the group.
The average door cycle time at each
stop.
Status of each elevator, accelerating, full
speed, decelerating, actual time in
motion.
Number of stops required due to car
calls.
Number of stops required due to
previously assigned hall calls.
System demand.
The above performance criteria are continuously
measured and stored for improved accuracy in
the
dispatching algorithm. All of the above data
is continuously scanned and the hall calls are
reassigned if
the conditions change and another
car can respond faster. The ability to measure
actual hall waiting
time virtually eliminates long
waiting and improves the average hall call
waiting intervals throughout
the building.
1.9 Reset Mode
Reset mode is initiated when the elevator power
is first turned on, or when the system is reset.
When
the reset mode is initiated, the controller
program is automatically loaded, and internal
tests are run
to ensure that both the car and
controller are electrically operational before
putting the car into
service. The car will not
move until reset mode is completed. Some of the
internal tests that the
controller performs are as
follows: is the safety string made up; is the
elevator on inspection operation;
is the door
close limit open; are the interlocks made up; is
hoistway position correct. If all the safeties
are
made up, and the elevator is on automatic
operation, and it is at floor level, the elevator will
go into
automatic mode. If the elevator is not at
floor level, it will run slow speed down to the
nearest floor,
level into the floor, and reset the
floor position count.
Introduction
P a g e | 9
1.10 Safety String Open Mode
Safety string open mode is initiated when a
safety is open. Some of the safeties are listed
below:
Reverse phase relay.

and access to the pit is possible from the bottom
landing. Enabling this mode permits
the
following operation:
Enables the access key switches at the top and bottom landing in the entrance door jambs.
Bypasses the gate switch to allow car movement with the car door open.
Bypasses the top or bottom landing hall door lock, depending on which terminal access switch is
being keyed.
Turning the access key switch to the up position causes the elevator to move at inspection
speed in the up direction.
Turning the access key switch to the down position causes the elevator to move at inspection
speed in the down direction.
1.14 Independent Service Mode
The independent service mode is initiated by
placing the key operated independent switch
located in
the car operating panel to the on
position, or by placing the controller toggle
switch “IND to the down
position. Independent
mode permits operation of the car with an
operator. This mode performs the
following
operations:
Hall initiated calls are ignored.
Hall lanterns and gongs are disabled.
The doors open automatically and stay
open until closed by the operator.
Closing the doors requires constant
pressure on the door close button.
When the car door is closed, the car
answers the nearest car initiated call in
the direction of
travel.

Any hall calls previously assigned will be
transferred to another car.
If traveling toward the code blue call, it
will proceed nonstop to the code blue
call floor.
If traveling away from the code blue call,
it will slow down and stop at the nearest
floor, maintain
doors closed, reverse
direction and proceed nonstop to the
code blue call floor.
If at a floor other than the code blue call
floor, the elevator will close the doors
and proceed
nonstop to the code blue
call floor.
Once at the code blue call floor, the
doors will open and remain open.
The code blue in car switch located in
the car operating panel must then be
turned to the on
position. If the code
blue in car switch is not turned to the on
position within 60 seconds from the
time
the doors reach full open on the code
blue call floor, the car will revert back to
normal
operation.
Upon activation of the key switch, it will
allow the car to accept a car call for any
floor, close the
doors, and proceed
nonstop to the floor desired.
The return of the code blue in car key
switch to the normal position will
restore the car to
normal service.
1.18 Fire Service Phase I Mode
Fire service phase I is initiated when the primary
smoke sensor is activated or the fire key switch
located
in the hall station on the primary return
floor is turned to the on position. The primary
return floor is
usually the lobby floor, but could
be another landing if it better serves the needs
of emergency
personnel when fighting a fire or
performing rescues. When fire service phase I is
enabled:
The fire emergency return light
illuminates and the fire buzzer sounds.
The emergency stop switch is disabled
when the door closes.
The car travels to the primary return
floor without answering any calls, then
parks with the door
open. The fire
buzzer turns off, but the fire emergency
return light stays illuminated.
If the car is at a landing with the doors
open, the doors will close, and the car
will return non‐
stop to the primary
return floor.
If the car is traveling away from the
primary return floor, the car will stop at
the next landing,
and then go
immediately to the primary return floor.
Turning the fire service key switch to the
bypass position will restore the elevator
to normal
service.
The elevator will perform per ASME
A17.1 requirement 2.27.3 unless
otherwise specified.
1.19 Fire Service Phase I Alternate Return Mode
Fire service phase I alternate return is initiated
when the smoke sensor in front of the elevator
at the
primary return floor is activated. When
fire service phase I alternate return is enabled:
The fire emergency return light
illuminates and the fire buzzer sounds.
The emergency stop switch is disabled
when the door closes.
The car travels to the alternate return
floor without answering any calls, then
parks with the
door open. The fire
buzzer turns off, but the fire emergency
return light stays illuminated.
If the car is at a landing with the doors
open, the doors will close, and the car
will return
nonstop to the alternate
return floor. If the car is traveling away
from the alternate return floor,
the car
will stop at the next landing, and then go
immediately to the alternate return
floor.
Turning the fire service key switch to the
bypass position will restore the elevator
to normal
service.
Introduction
P a g e | 13
The elevator will perform per ASME
A17.1 requirement 2.27.3 unless
otherwise specified.
1.20 Fire Service Phase II Mode
To initiate fire service phase II, the car must first
have been placed in fire service phase I, and, as
a
result, be parked at the designated level with the door fully open. Following that, the key
operated fire
service phase II switch, located in
the car operating panel must be placed in the on
position. Fire service
phase II permits operation
of the car by a fire fighter. This mode performs
operations in accordance
with ASME A17.1
requirement 2.27.3 as follows:
The doors close only with constant
pressure on the door close button, after
they have been fully
opened.
The doors open only with constant
pressure on the door open button, after
they have been fully
closed.
Hall lanterns and gongs are disabled.
Safety edge and electric eye are disabled
All registered car calls can be canceled
with momentary pressure on the call
cancel button
located in the car
operating panel.
All hall calls are disabled.
To remove the car from fire service
phase II the car must be at the fire return
landing with the
doors in the full open
position and the phase II switch turned
to the off position.
See ASME A17.1 requirement 2.27.3 for
specific operation of fire service phase II.
1.21 Emergency Power
Emergency power is initiated when a connection
is made between terminals HC” and “EMP”.
This mode
performs the following operations:
All cars are returned to the bottom floor
one at a time, and remain there with
their doors open.
If a car is selected to run it will go back
into normal operation.
Removing the connection between
terminals “HC” and “EMP” will remove
the cars from
emergency power
operation.
1.22 Earthquake Mode
Earthquake mode is initiated upon activation of
a seismic switch or counterweight derailment
switch.
This mode performs the following
operations:
If in motion, and the seismic switch is
activated, the car will decelerate into
slow speed,
proceed to the nearest
available floor, open the doors and shut
down.
If in motion, and the counterweight
derailment switch is activated, and the
car is moving away
from the
counterweight, then the car will
decelerate into slow speed, and proceed
to the
nearest available floor, open the
doors and shut down.
If in motion, and the counterweight
derailment switch is activated, and the
car is moving toward
the counterweight,
then the car will perform an emergency
stop, then move at slow speed
away
from the counterweight to the nearest
available floor. After stopping at the
nearest floor,
the doors will open and
the car will shut down.
1.23 Stalled Mode
Stalled mode is initiated when the elevator has
been in run mode longer than the field
adjustable anti
stall timer. This mode performs
the following operations:
Shuts down the elevator.
Does not allow the elevator to restart
until elevator is put on inspection or
main line switch is
cycled.
The door open button remains active.
1.24 Automatic Mode
Since this is the normal operating mode, the
controller automatically enters this mode if none
of the
previously described modes are activated,
and if no fault is detected. The following
operations are
performed in automatic mode:
The car operates in selective‐ collective control sequence when answering calls.
Hall calls and car calls are functional.
Hall lanterns and gongs are operational.
Simplex Cars Park at the last call answered unless simplex lobby parking has been enabled in the
program. In a multi‐car group, a car is always parked at the lobby if no other demand exists.
The doors remain closed when the car is parked

Section 2 ‐ Product Description
2.1 General Information
This section provides basic guidelines and recommendations for the proper installation of the controller
equipment. These guidelines should be used as general instructions. They are not intended to usurp
local codes and regulations.
2.2 Site Selection
When choosing the installation site of the controller, several factors should be considered. If at all
possible, the controller should be installed in a location where the mechanic has a good view of the
machine when he is standing in front of the controller. There should be no obstructions around the
controller that would prevent proper routing of necessary conduits entering the controller. The
controller doors should have enough room to fully open and close. All clearances, working space,
lighting, and guarding should comply with governing codes.
2.3 Environmental Considerations
The standard controller package is provided with a NEMA 1 enclosure. This type of controller should be
installed in a clean and dry environment. Ideally, the equipment room should be temperature controlled
between 70 and 90 degrees F. However, control equipment will function properly within an ambient
temperature range of 32 to 110 degrees F. If temperatures remain at the upper and lower extremes of
this range for an extended period of time, the life expectancy of the control equipment may be
shortened. If wet, dusty, or corrosive environments are expected, then optional non‐standard
enclosures can be provided. For example, NEMA 4, NEMA 12, or NEMA 4X.
The control system is designed to have a high immunity to electrical noise, radio frequency radiation,
and magnetic interference. However, high levels of these items could cause interference with certain
parts of the control system.
The power supply feeding the controller should have a fluctuation of no greater than + or ‐ 10%.
2.4 Wiring Guidelines and Instructions
2.5 The Wiring Prints
A complete set of wiring schematics will be provided for each job. Each set of wiring schematics is job
specific. The job name and number will be listed in the bottom right corner of each page of the print.
2.6 Ground Wiring
Proper grounding of the power supply, controller, elevator car, and hoistway is required. Separate
conductors should be run for EG (earth ground) and GND terminals. These terminals and conductors are
detailed on the wiring schematics.
2.7 Hoistway Wiring
All hoistway wiring is detailed on the wiring schematics. The number of hoistway conductors is
calculated and listed per job on the wiring schematics. A job specific "pull sheet" is also provided with
the wiring schematics.
2.8 Elevator Car Wiring
All elevator car wiring is detailed on the wiring schematics. The number of traveling cable conductors is
calculated and listed per job on the wiring schematics. A job specific "pull sheet" is also provided with
the wiring schematics.
2.9 Machine Room Wiring
All machine room wiring is detailed on the wiring schematics. All wire sizes are listed for main power
supply, motor wiring, brake wiring (traction only), and field wiring.
2.10 Wiring to Top of Car Selector
The car top selector is wired according to the schematics for the job. When using tape selector system,
special attention should be given to wiring the pulse sensor on the selector since the output on this
device uses +15VDC. Terminal PPS on the selector is wired to PPS on the controller and selector terminal
PP/US is wired to PP on the controller.
2.11 Slowdown Limits
There are two sets of slowdown switches used, the UT/DT switches (including UT1, UT2, UT3, DT1, DT2,
and DT3) and the UTS/DTS switches. UT, UT1, UT2, UT3 & DT, DT1, DT2, DT3 are used to clamp the
speed command to the drive at the terminal landings independent of the control of the CPU.
UTS & DTS are emergency slowdown limit switches used on cars with a top speed greater than 200 fpm
or having reduced stroke buffers. These switches are used as the slowdown speed verification points by
the Safety Processor board. If the car hits the limit at a speed greater than the preset speed parameter,
power is immediately removed from the motor and brake for an emergency stop independent of the
main CPU.
Section 2 Product Description
P a g e | 17
The UT & DT limit switches are also used as speed verification points by the Safety Processor board.
When the limit is first activated, the Safety Processor counts an adjustable number of pulse counts from
the activation point to determine the velocity trip point. Since cars with only one slowdown limit would
activate the limit at high speed when performing a recovery run, the extra pulse counts from allows the
car to slow down before the trip point is reached.
The Safety Processor board uses the UT & DT limits to verify the operation of the UTS & DTS limits. The
pulse input is also verified while running on automatic.
The distance that the limits are placed from the terminal landing depends on the speed of the car. Table
1 shows the slowdown limit locations with respect to contract speed. All distances are show in inches.

2.12 Normal and Final Limit Switches
The up and down directional limit switches UN & DN should be set to open two inches past the terminal
floor levels. The top and bottom final limit switches should be set to open four inches past the terminal
floor levels.
2.13 Tape Selector Installation
When installing the selector, please follow all
steps below.
1. Mount one of the tape brackets to the rail mounting bracket as shown in Figure 2.0
2. Mount the tape to the tape bracket as show, only FINGER TIGHTEN bolts. This is necessary for
proper tape alignment.
3. Measure the distance from the rail to the tape.
4. Unreel the tape from the top of the car while running down on inspection.
5. At the bottom feed the remaining tape down next to the car. Then move the car back up out of
the way.
6. Mount the spring mounted tape brackets to the rail mounting bracket as shown in Figure 2.0
ensure that the distance to the rail is the same as what was measured at the top.
7. Connect the bottom of the tape to the mounting bracket with proper spring tension.
8. With tape under tension tighten top
tape bolts. And double check tape
position.
NOTE: At this time the tape should be
parallel to the rail in all directions. This
is a requirement to
maximize the life of
the nylon guides, and minimize tape
noise. While the tape head is allowed to
move, it should not need to move.
9. Mount the selector couple to the tape by the nylon guides. It is preferred to mount the selector
to the car sling for maximum stability. The selector location should be adjusted so the tape head
is located in the center of the slot, and the tape head pivot bolts are horizontal and equally
supporting the head.
NOTE: As a check, observe that the head is centered in both directions when the car is at the top and
bottom of the hoistway.
Figure 2.1 shows a typical mounting of the
selector to the crosshead. Figure 2.2 shows the
new selector
board (PCB‐1011BN).
1. To install floor magnets, level the
door exactly at the desired floor.
And mark tape at the top left
of the
selector through a factory cut guide
hole
Section 2 Product Description
P a g e | 19
2. Move the car to gain access to the
section of tape that was marked
while the car was at floor
level.
3. Place the door zone template,
provided by G.A.L., at the door zone
mark just made.
4. Remove backing and adhere binary
preset magnets in the appropriate
template locations. The
location of
each magnet is shown in Figure 2.3. & Figure 2.4.
5. Repeat steps 10 thru 13 for each
floor.

Figures 2.3 & 2.4: Selector Tape Layout & Magnet Placement
2.14 Tapeless Selector Installation
Installation of the tapeless selector begins with replacing the existing governor if it does not have a
rotating shaft to one that does. Mount the encoder on the governor and connect the encoder cable to
the Safety Processor Board as per the job prints.
Mount the selector box on top the car with the provided brackets, see figures 2.5 and 2.5A and 2.6.
The magnets will be placed in the corner of the rail. The door zone sensors will face the magnet and
make a 45-degree angle with the face of the rail.
Use the template to position the selector head the correct distance from the rail, see figure 2.5 and 2.5a
and 2.6. The mounting screws on the selector box and on the brackets are slotted to make the necessary
alignments.

Section 2 Product Description
P a g e | 29
Figure 2.8: Sensor Orientation Upside Down
The selector head can be mounted with a left or
right vertical orientation. Each of the sensor
wires are
individually plugged into the selector
board according to the orientation of how the
box is mounted. The
sensors are wired with UL at
the top then DZU, DZD and finally DL at the
bottom, see Figure 2.7. If the
box has to be
mounted upside down (having the PC board
upside down) simply re‐wire the sensors in
the
order listed above always starting with the top
sensor as UL, see figure 2.8. Since the PC board
mounting holes are symmetrical, the board can
be rotated to the right side up position. With the
selector and car top box mounted on the car top,
wire the selector board to the car top board. The
UL
and DL sensors are mounted in slotted holes
to allow fine adjustment of the "floor level zone” after the
elevator is running on automatic
operation. However, these sensors should be set
in the middle of the
adjustment slot as a starting
point prior to final adjustment.
After the selector installation is complete and the
car is running on inspection, door zone magnets
can be
placed at each floor. With the car dead
level at the floor, place the template in the corner
of the rail
with the tab lined up with top of the
selector door zone sensor bracket see figure 2.9.
Make a mark across the flat edge of the template. Move the car down then place the template on the rail
and align the position mark. Place the magnet in the slot and remove the template. It is important to
limit the side‐to‐side movement of the car to 1/4" between the rails to maintain consistent floor levels.
After final adjustment, magnets should be secured with an adequate amount of adhesive caulk in order
to prevent movement.

2.15 Tapeless Selector Assembly Installation
Place the car dead level at any intermediate floor. Mount the selector box on the elevator cross head
with the bracket provided. Notice that the box mounting holes are slotted to adjust the position of the
box. Refer to figure 2.13 for an overall view setup of the selector box and the door zone and slowdown
limit brackets. Mount one of the slim door zone metal strips on the far end of a rail bracket. Mount the
door zone/rail bracket on the rail where the door zone metal strip lines up with the door zone sensors
on the selector box. Make sure that the rail bracket is pushed completely on to the rail while tightening
the adjacent rail clip bolt. Place the door zone magnet on the slim metal strip and complete the
alignment of the selector box and the door zone in the correct position. This will ensure that all the door
zone and slowdown magnets line up with the correct sensor. Adjust the door zone sensors to be 1 inch
from the door zone magnet.
Continue to mount the door zones using the slim door zone/rail brackets at all the intermediate floors or
if preferred, proceed to a terminal landing to work from one particular end of the hoistway.
Bring the car dead level to a terminal landing. There will be two wide door zone plates included that are
specifically used for the terminal landings. Theses plates have three large holes to mount the normal
limit magnets. The down normal limit DN is placed in the middle hole of the plate. The up normal limit
UN is placed in the top hole of the plate. Notice that the bottom hole becomes the top hole if the plate
is rotated 180 degrees. The door zone magnet is placed adjacent to the three normal limit holes but in
line with the mounting screw holes. Mount the bracket at the terminal floor so that the door zone
magnet lines up with the door zone sensors. Make sure that when at the top terminal floor, the magnet
for the up normal limit is at the top of the door zone magnet. The down normal magnet at the bottom
terminal floor will appear to be at the middle of the door zone magnet. Because of the placement of the
limit sensors on the selector box, the up normal limit will activate 2 inches above the top floor and the
bottom one will activate 2 inches below the bottom floor.
The selector box should be marked on the top to show the location of each slowdown sensor. If the box
is not marked, us a black marker and mark the locations from the picture in figure 2.14. Using the
slowdown distance table in section 3, mount each slowdown rail bracket at the measured distance. The
appropriate slowdown flat metal extension strip mounts on the rail bracket depending on the limit
location on the selector box. Look at which side of the rail the selector box is mounted for the specific
elevator. The slowdown limits that line up in between the rail and the door zone use the short straight
flat metal strip. These metal strips are mounted vertically on the rail bracket. The slowdown limits that
line up outside of the door zone from the rail will use the long slowdown flat metal extension strips and
will mount diagonally from the rail bracket. Mount the magnet on the metal extension strip and verify
the alignment. Make sure that the magnet is ½ inch to ¾ inch from the slowdown sensor.
Once the top of car is wired and power is supplied to the selector, verify the activation of each door
zone and slowdown magnet. Since the slowdown sensors will latch from passing a magnet, the sensor
can possible be initially set incorrectly. To change the state of the sensor, pass a magnet across the
sensor. The LEDs on the door zone sensors and on the selector board will aid in verifying the setup off all
the door zone and slowdown limit magnets. Review the pictures in figures 2.15 and 2.16 for a typical
tapeless installation.

INSPECTION ‐ "INSP"
3.5 Make Sure the Car Is Safe
Verify that all elevator doors are closed and that all safety circuits are functional.
3.6 Check Controller Voltage
Turn the main‐line disconnect to the on position. Check the voltage at L1, L2, and L3 on the SCR drive.
Verify that all three phases are present. Check the voltage at fuses L1, L2, and L3 (if present) on
controller. If correct, check the voltage at terminal LIN with respect to GND. The voltage should read
120VAC. If correct, check the voltage at terminals S10, LC, & HC with respect to GND. All should read
120VAC. If not, check wiring diagram to determine the problem before continuing.
3.7 Verify the Main CPU is Operating
Check to make sure that the "axy" of GALaxy on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface display is blinking. If
the "axy" is blinking, continue to the next step. If not, check voltage at terminals 5V to 0V on the 1064
board to insure 5VDC. If 5VDC is present and the "axy" on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface is not
blinking, then contact factory.
3.8 Preset Adjustable Variables on Safety Processor Board and Main CPU
The 1066 LCD interface (safety processor board) and the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface (main CPU) are
normally preset prior to leaving the factory. However, it is prudent to check the setup values for the
proper settings. Refer to Section 13 of this manual for the operation of the 1066 LCD interface,
and refer to Section 10 for operation of the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface. The following adjustable
variables must be set properly.

Flip the “STOP” toggle switch on the 1064 board to the up position. Verify that input LED’s for “LC, HC,
DN, UN, SS, GTS, RDY and CS” are all on. If not, then correct field wiring.
3.12 Hoist Motor Data
At this time the hoist motor data must be entered into the SCR drive. The following functions must be
entered or verified using the drive display unit (SCDU). Follow the instructions in the SCR drive manual
to enter the following data for each function:
Function #3 ‐ RATED ARM AMP (from machine/motor nameplate)
Function #7 ‐ RATED ARM V (from machine/motor nameplate)
Function #10 ‐ ENCODER P/R (PPR of encoder on machine/motor)
Function #11 ‐ MOTOR RPM (from machine/motor nameplate)
NOTE: The MOTOR RPM value may need to be fine‐tuned to provide the correct rpm to run the
machine/motor at controller demanded speed.
Function #17 ‐ RATED FT/MIN (from controller data)
Function #21 ‐ ACC RATE FT/SEC2 (~ 4.2)
Function #40 ‐ RESPONSE (~ 6.0)

Function #53 ‐ STANDING FIELD AMP (from controller data)
Function #56 ‐ FIELD STRENGTH SPEED (~ 75)
Function #57 ‐ FIELD WEAKEN SPEED (~ 75)
Function #994 ‐ to save data just entered
After Function #994 has been performed successfully, proceed to the next step.
3.13 SCR Drive Self Tune
To have the SCR drive unit learn the parameters of the hoist motor the drive self‐tune must be
performed. Remove the drive reset “RST” wire from TB1 pin 49 of the drive. Turn on the main
disconnect. Perform a FUNCTION #997 (see SCR drive manual) to self‐tune the hoist motor. During this
test, the “MC” contactor will energize for short period of time. After the self‐tune is performed
correctly, “PASS” will appear on the drive unit display. If a fault appears on the drive unit display, the
problem must be corrected and the self‐tune performed again. If the self‐tune is successful, then the
following FUNCTIONS must be viewed and recorded.
Function #613
Function #614
Function #615
The value of Function #613 should be manually entered into Function #4 ‐ ARM OHMS.
The value of Function #614 should be manually entered into Function #6 ‐ ARM L.
The value of Function #615 should be manually entered into Function #51 ‐ FIELD L/R.
3.14 Pre‐set the Digital Speed Clamps
Pre‐set the software digital speed clamps from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface under the “Elevator
Setup Menu”. The submenus for the clamp speeds are as follows:
Set INS/Leveling Clamp
Set DT/UT Slowdown Clamp Set DT1/UT1 Slowdown Clamp Set DT2/UT2 Slowdown Clamp Set DT3/UT3
Slowdown Clamp Set DTS/UTS Slowdown Clamp
Set the speed for Ins/Leveling for 140 fpm and all the remaining slowdown limit speeds to the contract
speed of the car. Please note that the displayed value of “Clamp Speed” is the value the clamp should be
set to. The slowdown limit Clamp Speed:” will show 0000 until the car is run into the limits and the
speed is recorded. Please refer to Section 10, 1021/1101/1005 LCD Interface, for the Elevator Setup
Menu.
NOTE: The values of the clamp speed velocities above are only temporary settings until the car is
running high speed. In the final adjustment procedure, these values must be set according to the
procedures in Section 3.34, Adjust Digital Slowdown Speed Clamps.
Section 3 DSD 412
P a g e | 43
3.15 Ready to Run On Inspection
The car should be ready to run on inspection if all is wired correctly. Select the “Elevator Status” on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface. The display should show “Out of Service” on the first line and
“Inspection Mode” on the second. The 1066 LCD interface will display one of the following types of
inspection:
“MR INS” (Motor Room)
“CT INS” (Car Top)
“ACCESS” (Access)
“IC INS” (In Car)
“AUTO” (Not on Inspection)
To run the car from the motor room, “MR INS” should be displayed.
The “inspection string” consists of contacts from the inspection switches and the gate and lock bypass
switches in series. One and only one of the five inspection inputs should be on for the car to run.
Starting from the car top inspection input, the five inspection inputs are, “INS” for car top, “ACC” for
access, “ICI” for in‐car, “MRI” for motor room, and AUTO” for automatic (no inspection). The inspection
string circuit is shown in Figure 3.1.
Note: Any one of the following conditions will cause an inspection error:
More than one inspection input is on
No inspection input is on
Gate or Lock bypass switch is open and the car is not on car top inspection
If the controller is not on motor room inspection at this point, then verify all switch positions and wiring
before proceeding.
Figure 3.1: Inspection String
3.16 Adjust the Brake Voltage
Momentarily push the inspection UP or DOWN push button on the 1064 board while checking the DC
brake voltage with a meter. If the voltage is not correct, it must be adjusted according to the following
procedures.
If the controller utilizes an electronic brake board 1047 or 1051, then the brake voltage is adjusted
through the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Car Brake" sub‐ menu. If the controller utilizes resistors
and rectifiers for the brake coil circuit, then the brake voltage is adjusted by moving the adjustable tap
on the brake resistor.
NOTE: Remove power before adjusting the resistor taps.
To adjust the brake voltage when using and electronic brake board, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Brake" and adjust "Brake Pick Volt", "Brake Hold Volt" and "Brk AC L‐L Volt" to the
proper values. Make sure that the brake is lifting and setting properly before proceeding.
Section 3 DSD 412
P a g e | 45
3.17 Check the Run Direction
Momentarily push the inspection “UP” or “DOWN” push button on the 1064 board. One of the following
should take place:
The elevator will run controlled, in the correct direction (up for “UP” button, down for “DOWN” button)
with no drive faults. If so, proceed to “Check Inspection Speed”.
The elevator will run controlled, but in the wrong direction (down for “UP button, up of “DOWN”
button) with no drive faults. If so, proceed to Section 3.18, Car Runs in the Wrong Direction.
The elevator will try to run, but immediately trip on a drive fault #99. If so, proceed to Section 3.19,
Drive Trips immediately.
3.18 Car Runs in the Wrong Direction
If the elevator runs controlled but in the wrong direction, with no drive faults, then turn off the main
disconnect, swap the hoist motor field wires.
Also swap the encoder direction by swapping the encoder wires or if an encoder isolation board (1022N)
is used, move J5 and J7 on the encoder board. Refer to the jumper diagram on the board.
J5 swaps A & A NOT J7 swaps B & B NOT.
To change the encoder direction at the drive, swap the following wires:
A+ (TB3‐2) with B+ (TB3‐4)
A‐ (TB3‐3) with B‐ (TB3‐5)
Turn the main disconnect on, run the elevator on inspection again, and it should run controlled and in
the correct direction. If so, proceed to Section 3.20, Check Inspection Speed. If not contact the factory.
3.19 Drive Trips Immediately
If the elevator tries to run, but immediately trips on a drive fault #99, then turn off the main disconnect,
and swap the encoder direction by swapping the wires or if an encoder isolation board (1022N) is used,
move J5 and J7 on the encoder board. Refer to the jumper diagram on the board.
J5 swaps A & A NOT J7 swaps B & B NOT.
To change the encoder direction at the drive, swap the following wires:
A+ (TB3‐2) with B+ (TB3‐4)
A‐ (TB3‐3) with B‐ (TB3‐5)
Turn on the main disconnect and run the elevator on inspection again. If the elevator runs controlled
and in the correct direction, proceed to next section.
If the elevator runs controlled but in the wrong direction, then go back and follow the directions in
Section 3.17, Car Runs the Wrong Direction.
If the car still trips immediately on a drive fault #99, then contact the factory.
3.20 Check Inspection Speed
With a hand held tachometer, check the speed of the elevator while running on inspection. The elevator
should be running at 25 FPM. Also run the elevator while monitoring Function #600 on the SCR drive
display. This parameter should also read 25 FPM. If speed is not correct, re‐check drive data in
FUNCTION #10 and FUNCTION #11.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface select the "Elevator Status" menu, navigate until the display
shows "Dmd" and "Vel". While running on inspection, monitor the controller demand speed "Dmd", and
the speed feedback "Vel". These values should both display 25. If the demand and feedback on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface is incorrect, check the Encoder RPM and PPR parameters from the
“Adjustable Variables” menu. These variables should be set according to the procedures in Section
3.8.
If the speed on the hand held tachometer and on "Dmd" and "Vel" all read approximately 25 fpm (within
+/‐2 fpm) continue to the next step. If not, contact the factory.
3.21 Verify Controller Encoder Direction
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface "Elevator Status" menu, navigate to display "Dir" and "DP".
While moving the car on inspection, monitor "Dir" (direction) and "DP" (pulse counts). "Dir" should
display "Up" when the car is moving up, and "Dn" when the car is moving down. The value of "Dp"
should increment when the car is moving up, and should decrement when the car is moving down.
If the direction is wrong or the pulse counts change in the wrong direction, then the encoder direction
to the controller must be changed. If an encoder isolation board (1022N) is used, move J1 and J3 on
the encoder board. Refer to the jumper diagram on the board.
J1 swaps A & A NOT J3 swaps B & B NOT.
If no encoder isolation board is used, the A+ and A‐ encoder wires from the drive must be swapped.
Note that the motor encoder wires are daisy chained from the encoder to the drive and then from the
drive to the controller encoder board. Only the A+ and A‐ wires from the drive to the controller board
must be swapped. The wires from the encoder to the drive must remain on the same terminal locations
on the drive.
If the encoder is counting properly continue to the next step. If not, contact the factory.
Section 3 DSD 412
P a g e | 47
3.22 Verify Selector and Slowdown Inputs
Run the elevator up on inspection until it stops on the up normal limit. The up and down normal limits
should be set two inches above and below the terminal floors respectively. Verify the selector inputs are
being set properly on the controller by running the elevator down until it stops on the down normal
limit.
As the car approaches floor level going down, “DL” turns on first, then “DZ” and then finally “UL”. At
floor level, “UL, DL, and DZ” inputs should all be on at the same time. Leaving the floor going down “DL”
will turn off first, then “DZ” and last “UL”.
Also verify that the up and down terminal slowdown limits inputs “UT, UTS, DT & DTS” are breaking at
the proper distances as shown in the slowdown table 2.0. “UT, UTS, DT & DTS” turn off when active.
3.23 Verify Car Speed on Safety Processor Board
Run the car in either direction or check the car speed on the 1066 LCD interface. The speed shown
should match the car’s actual speed. If the speed does not match and the secondary feedback comes
from pulses from the tape go to “Correct Car Speed When Using a Tape”. If using 485 tapeless, go to
"Correct Car Speed When Using 485 tapeless". If using CAN Open tapeless, go to "Correct Car Speed
When Using CAN Open tapeless". If the correct speed is shown proceed to Section 3.27, Learn the
Hoistway.
3.24 Correct Car Speed When Using a Tape Installed in Hoistway
The tape has holes every 3/8” that are 3/8” in diameter. On the selector unit adjust the PP sensor closer
to the tape until the orange LED at the end of the sensor turns on. Then turn the sensor inwards another
1/8” and lock in the sensor. While running on top of car inspection verify that the orange LED at the end
of the PP sensor turns on and off as it passes by the holes on the tape. The safety processor measures
the time between each pulse to calculate the velocity. If the velocity is not displayed correctly first make
sure that the feedback type in the safety processor board adjustable variable is set to 0 for a tape
application. Next, while the car is running, make sure that the PULSE LED on this board is pulsing. As the
car increases in speed the LED will glow solid on. If the LED does not pulse, try swapping the wires at the
PPS and PP terminals. If the LED still does not work, contact the factory. If the correct speed is shown
proceed to Section 3.27, Learn The Hoistway.
3.25 Correct Car Speed When Using 485 Tapeless System
When using the 485 tapeless system, the secondary speed feedback comes from the encoder mounted
on the governor. The 1066 board uses a serial interface to a Turck absolute encoder, part #
T8.5882.3F0B.3001.
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the "Fdbk Typ = 1", and set the "Enc PPR = 8192". The
"Enc RPM" value must be calculated as described below. To calculate the RPM, divide the contract
speed of the car by the distance traveled in one revolution with the governor as shown below:
RPM = Speed fpm/ (diameter GOV * pi)
For a 1 ft. diameter governor: RPM = 350/ (1*pi) = 350/3.1415 = 111.4
For a 16 in diameter governor (16/12 = 1.33ft): RPM = 350/ (1.33* 3.1415) = 350/4.188 = 83.5
3.26 Correct Car Speed When Using CAN Open Tapeless System
When using the CAN Open tapeless system, the secondary speed feedback comes from the incremental
encoder mounted on the machine/motor.
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the "Fdbk Typ = 4", and set the "Enc PPR" equal to the PPR
of the machine/motor‐mounted incremental encoder, and set the "Enc RPM" to the rpm of the
machine/motor at contract speed.
On the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Pls Cnt" menu. While running the elevator on inspection,
verify that the pulse count value increments when running up and decrements when running down. The
"Pls Cnt" value can be considerably out of range but will automatically correct during the "Learn
Hoistway" procedure. To reverse the direction of pulse counting, navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to
the "Adj Var" menu, "Enc Dir" and set to "0" for clockwise or "1" for counter‐clockwise.
Navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to the "Car Spd" menu. Monitor the "Car Spd" while running the car
at a known inspection speed. The value displayed should match the actual car speed measured with a
hand held tachometer. If not, re‐check the values set in "Enc RPM" and "Enc PPR" in the 1066 LCD
interface. If the speed is correct, proceed to Section 3.27, Learn The Hoistway.
3.27 Learn the Hoistway
Run the elevator down on inspection until it stops on the down normal limit switch. Verify that the “DN
and DL” input LED’s are both off and that the "UL" and "DZ" LED's are on. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Learn Hoistway". The learn procedure can be
performed automatically by choosing "Auto" from the menu items, or performed manually by choosing
"Insp" from the menu items. After choosing the learn method, follow the instructions displayed on
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
In general, the car will run up from the "down normal limit" to the "up normal limit" at 30 fpm. During
this learn run, the DP count for each floor level and each limit switch will be stored in memory.
NOTE: The car must run the entire hoistway without stopping.
As the elevator moves up the hoistway, navigate to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "Disp/Mod Hoistway
Table", and verify that the "DP" count is incrementing as the elevator moves up. Also as the elevator
passes each floor, the pulse count and distance for that floor should change and be stored. Verify that
the floor distances are valid. The pulse count for the terminal slowdowns will also be stored. The
elevator will stop when it reaches the up normal limit. Follow the instructions on the 1021/1101/1005
LCD interface by putting the car on inspection, and then the message "Hoistway Learn Complete" should
be displayed.
Section 3 DSD 412
P a g e | 49
Move the elevator on inspection until the “DZ and DL” LED’s are on. Set the "INS" switch on the 1064
board to the "NORMAL" position and the elevator should level down to floor level at the top floor. If so,
proceed to final adjustment.
If the car levels down but does not run, then check “Elevator Status” and “View Fault Log” on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface for any fault information. Correct items causing faults and perform
hoistway learn again. After problem is corrected, and a successful hoistway learn is performed, proceed
to final adjustment.
3.28 Automatic Run
The elevator should now be sitting idle at the top floor. The "AUTO DOOR" switch should be set to the
"OFF" position and the "IND" switch should be set to the "IND" position. If the learn procedure was
successful, the elevator should be ready to make an automatic run.
The default parameter settings for the ride quality should be adequate for an initial run. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface navigate to the "Set Calls and Lockouts" menu, "Setup Car Calls" and
enter a car call. The elevator should run to answer the call. When the elevator levels in and stops at the
floor, the doors will remain closed.
The acceleration and deceleration of the car should be smooth and stepless regardless of the distance of
the run. If the elevator does not function as described above, then the problem should be analyzed
before proceeding.
3.29 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
In order to fine tune the ride quality, refer to Figure 3.2 which describes what part of the S‐curve that
the different parameters effect. In general, higher numbers in the given parameters, cause quicker and
more abrupt changes from one mode to the next during a run. All of the S‐curve parameters have a
minimum and maximum value. The controller will not allow you to enter values that are not valid. After
adjusting the S‐ curve parameters, proceed to the next step.
3.30 Adjust the Stop
When at floor level the “UL, DL, & DZ” input LEDs should be on. If the elevator continually tries to seek
floor level by leveling up and down, check the motor field voltage to be at the nameplate voltage while
leveling. If the motor field voltage is correct but the car seems sluggish then increase the response of the
drive by increasing the value of Function #40 in the drive. If the car still re‐levels at the floor, try the
following steps to correct the problem:
Reduce the leveling and re‐leveling velocity parameters from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion", "Leveling Speed" and "Relevel Speed".
If the car still oscillates, adjust the "floor level zone" on the selector. The "floor level zone" is
increased by moving the "UL" and "DL" sensors closer together.
If the car stops hard on the brake, then make the following adjustments. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion", and
adjust both "Brake Drop Del" (brake drop delay) and "Soft Stop Time". These variables should be
adjusted so that zero speed is observed at the end of the run prior to the brake setting. The
controller should hold the car at zero speed for the duration of the "Soft Stop Time" which
should continue while the brake is setting and for a short time after the brake sets. The "Soft
Stop Time" MUST be set to at least 0.5 seconds LONGER than the "Brake Drop Del".
NOTE: The "Soft Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface should be compared with the
setting in the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, "SoftStop". The setting of "SoftStop" in the 1066 LCD
interface should be greater than the "Soft Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
If the car spots when approaching the floor, the cause is usually due to the car not tracking (the drive
response is set too low) or the speed profile into the floor is too aggressive. First try to increase the
response of the drive by increasing the value of Function #40 in the drive.
If the car still spots, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu, "Car Motion" and increase the value of "Floor Targ Dis" (floor targeting distance). The default
value for the floor targeting distance is 12 inches. Increase it by steps of 2 or 3 and continue retesting
until the parameter is adjusted to 18. If no change is noticed, start again from 12 and decrease the
value.
The deceleration rate can also be reduced to help remove the spotting. Once the proper stop is
achieved, proceed to “Adjust the Start”.
Figure 3.2: S-Curve Parameters
3.31 Adjust the Start
To provide a proper start, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and adjust "Brake Pick Del" (brake pick delay), "Pattern Delay", and "Soft
Start Jerk". Initially, set the brake pick delay to 0 and increase the pattern delay by 0.1 seconds until the
controller picks the brake completely before the motor starts to move. If roll back occurs, then reduce
the pattern delay until there is no roll back. Sometimes, the timing works out better if the brake pick
Section 3 DSD 412
P a g e | 51
delay is set to 0.1 second. If load weighing is used, pre‐torquing can be used to provide a smoother start.
See Section 3.40, Adjust the Motor Pre‐torque.
Increase the soft start jerk rate in order to provide a quicker transition from the start to constant
acceleration. Keep in mind that the larger the soft start number, the quicker the start. The ride should
now be acceptable.
3.32 Verify Top Speed
To fine tune high speed, make high speed runs while monitoring Function #600 on the SCR drive display.
The display should read contract speed.
If the speed is slightly under contract speed, then verify that Function #10 Encoder PPR and Function
#11 Rated Motor RPM are set properly. The speed displayed at Function #600 should match the speed
displayed on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Elevator Status" menu, "Dmd" and "Vel". This speed
should also match the speed displayed on the 1066 LCD interface, "Car Spd" menu. When all of these
speeds are the same (+/‐ 2 fpm), then proceed to the next step.
3.33 Adjust Safety Processor Board Speed Clamps
The 1066 Safety Processor Board monitors the speed of the elevator at the terminal landings
independently from the main CPU.
When the "UT, DT, UTS, and DTS" limit switches are activated, the 1066 board calculates the velocity of
the elevator and compares that velocity with a stored value of speed clamp. If the velocity when the
switch activates is greater than the speed clamp value, then the 1066 board will generate a fault that
stops the elevator.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Lim Vel" menu, and view the recorded velocities
displayed for the “UT, DT, UTS & DTS” slowdown limits. “UTS & DTS” are used on cars with reduced
stroke buffers or with a top speed greater than 200 fpm. The velocity value is shown from the “LIM VEL”
menu on the 1066 LCD interface.
The velocity value shown on the display for the UT or DT” limit is the value after the car activates the
limit then counts an adjustable number of counts set from the 1066 LCD interface, "Adj Var" menu, "UT
Count" or "DT Count". These count values can be adjusted to provide adequate distance, following the
limit switch activation, to allow the elevator to begin its normal decel pattern. The default "UT Count"
and "DT Count" values are normally adequate. However, these values may need to be field adjusted to
allow enough distance for the car to begin its normal decel pattern. If the "UT Count" and "DT Count"
values are modified, the limit velocities must be re‐checked
Run the car again to the top repeatedly from 2 floors, then 3 floors, etc., until top speed is reached.
From the 1066 LCD interface "Lim Vel" menu, record the limit velocities displayed each time the car
stops at the top floor.
Make the same runs to the bottom floor starting from 1 floor, then 2 floors, then 3 floors, etc., until top
speed is reached. From the 1066 LCD interface "Lim Vel" menu, record the limit velocities displayed each
time the car stops at the bottom floor.
Take the highest speed value recorded in the runs above and add 20 fpm to that value to use as the
clamp speed values for the respective limit switches. Enter these clamp speed values into the 1066 LCD
interface "Adj Var" menu, "UT Vel", "DT Vel", "UTS Vel", "DTS Vel" respectively.
3.34 Adjust Digital Slowdown Speed Clamps
Having just made several runs into the top and bottom landings, the main CPU has also recorded the
car’s velocity when the slowdown limits were activated. If the car has been powered down prior to this
step, several runs must be made to the terminal landings to allow the main CPU to record the limit
velocity values.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Set DT/UT Slowdown
Clamp" and view the speed displayed for "Clamp Speed". Add 20 fpm to this "Clamp Speed" value and
enter it into the "DT/UT Limit" value.
Adjust speed clamps for each slowdown limits used as determined by the elevator’s contract speed.
The number of slowdown limits depends on the speed of the car as show in the table below:
Table 3.1: Slowdown Clamps
3.35 Verify Inspection Velocity Clamp On Safety Processor Board
Place the car on inspection operation. From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var" menu, "Ins
Vel" and set the speed clamp velocity to 25 fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to
the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to 50 fpm. Run the car in
either direction and verify that the car shuts down when the speed rises above 25 fpm.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var" menu, "Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp to 140
fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to the desired value.

3.36 Analog Load Weigher Setup
If the job uses an analog load weigher purchased from G.A.L., complete the following procedure.
NOTE: It is recommend using two people, one moving the weights and one in the machine room to set
up the load weigher.
Mount the load weigher as described by the manufacturer. The load weigher control box will also
contain a board supplied by G.A.L. that connects to the controller serial CAN bus and reads in the analog
output from the load weighing device. Wire the load weigher and G.A.L. board according to the
controller schematics.
Calibrate the load weighing device hardware according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Following
proper installation of the load weighing device, proceed to Section 3.37, Empty Car Setup.
3.37 Empty Car Setup
Verify that the load weighing device is communicating to the main CPU by performing the following
steps. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Diagnostics" menu, "Car Comm Status",
"Car to LW Board" and verify that "On‐ line = 1". If "On‐line = 0" then verify wiring and installation of
load weighing device.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher Setup",
"Setup Load Weigher" and follow the instructions on the display as you go through the procedure.
It is okay to exit the setup screen to place a call and then return to it while the setup is being performed.
Run the car to the bottom floor and press Enter on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface when prompted
to do so to start the automatic setup sequence. If the car is at the bottom floor and the doors are not
closed (the doors will not close automatically from turning off the auto‐door switch) then place a car call
to run the car up one floor, then back again. The doors will close when the call is placed.
When the automatic sequence is activated, the car will run to each floor and measure the empty load
value. The 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface will indicate when the sequence if finished.
3.38 Full Car Setup
NOTE: The empty car setup must be successfully completed to run the full load setup.
Once the empty car setup is complete, run to the loading floor and set the "AUTO DOOR" switch to the
"ON" position to allow weights to be loaded on the car. With the car fully loaded, set the "AUTO DOOR"
switch to the "OFF" position and run the car to the bottom floor. Again if the doors are not closed, make
a one floor run to force the doors to close.
With the car at the bottom floor, follow the instructions on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface to start
the full load setup sequence. The car will automatically run to each floor and measure the full load
value. When the full load measurement is complete, the car can be run to the loading floor and the
weights removed.
After the weights are removed, cycle the doors to complete the procedure. From the 1021/1101/1005
LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher Setup", "View/Modify LW Setup"
and verify the load weigher status, "LW Device Stat: ON OK". If the status is "ON OK", then the load
weigher should be accurately measuring the car load in real time. The percent load will be displayed,
"Load: _%".
The percent load values for different service options can now be set. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Service Options", and set the following
variables:
"Load Bypass"
"Load Antinuisance"
"Load Dispatch"
"Load Overload"
NOTE: Setting the values of the variables above to 0% will disable that particular option.
3.39 Load Weighing Calibration Sequence
The load weigher is automatically calibrated once each week. If an error is detected during this
calibration sequence, the load weigher and the pre‐torque feature (if used) is disabled.
A load weighing calibration sequence can be manually activated by performing the following procedure.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher Setup",
"Load Weigher Calibration" and follow the instructions on the display.
3.40 Adjust the Motor Pre‐torque
NOTE: The motor pre‐torque uses the load value obtained from the analog load weigher and will only
work if the load weigher has been installed properly, and the "Load Weigher Setup" has been
performed successfully.
To enable pre‐torquing on the drive, set Function #114 on the DSD‐412 drive to “ON”. Remember to go
to Function #994 to save any changed parameters. Run the empty car to a middle floor. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD user interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and
adjust the following parameters:
"Balanced Load = 40" (typically car is 40% counterbalanced, but verify counterbalance
percentage for each specific job)
"Torque Amount = 10"
"Pattern Delay = 2.5"
"Brake Pick Del = 0.1"
Section 3 DSD 412
P a g e | 55
The long pattern delay will allow an exaggerated amount of roll back in order for the pre‐torquing to be
set accurately. Make a one floor run down and observe the roll back when the brake picks at the start of
the run. Increase the "Torque Amount" variable and continue to monitor the roll back while performing
one floor runs in the down direction. As the "Torque Amount" is increased, the roll back should be
minimized until the car will hold zero speed for the entire "Pattern Delay" time. A typical value for the
"Torque Amount" is 40%. If the value is too large, the car will roll forward during the "Pattern Delay"
time.
Note: The pattern delay must be at least 0.15 seconds (150 milliseconds). Setting the torque amount to
0.00 will disable the pre‐torque feature. Also if the load weighing calibration sequence detects a load
weighing error, the pre‐ torque feature is also automatically disabled.
3.41 Verify the Doors Are Safe
The elevator should now be adjusted. Verify that all door locks, gate switches, and safety circuits are
operational. Set the "INSP" switch to the "NORM" position and set the "AUTO DOOR" switch to the "ON"
position. The elevator should level into the floor and open the doors. If the doors do not open, check the
door operator wiring and cam adjustment. If the doors do open, the elevator is now on independent
service.
3.42 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
Ride the elevator and evaluate the ride quality. Fine tune ride quality by navigating to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and adjusting the variables shown in Figure 3.2. Keep in mind that if
acceleration or deceleration values are changed, the speed clamps for the safety processor board and
the S‐curve board may need to be re‐adjusted.
To fine tune the floor level accuracy, determine if the controller is set to stop when "UL" and "DL"
signals turn on, or if controller is set to stop off of the position count. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and view the "Stop On Pos Cnt"
variable. If "Stop On Pos Cnt = 0" then controller is set to stop when the "UL and "DL" signals turn on. If
"Stop On Pos Cnt = 1" then controller is set to stop on a combination of the floor level magnet and the
position count.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 0", the floor levels should be set by adjusting the floor level magnet at each
floor. For proper operation, the floor magnets should be set to exactly floor level. After the floor levels
are set properly, perform another hoistway learn procedure.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 1", the floor levels are set by using both the floor magnet and the position
count. For proper operation with this setting, the floor magnet should be set to exactly floor level. The
final stop can then be fine‐tuned by performing the following adjustments.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel
Cnt" and adjust "Dn Lev Dist" and "Up Lev Dist". The units for these variables are in "pulse counts". With
"Stop On Pos Cnt =1" the car will continue to move for the "Dn Lev Dist" or "Up Lev Dist" after "UL and
DL" turn on. Use the "Dn Lev Dist" and the "Up Lev Dist" parameters to make level changes at all floors.
To make level changes at individual floors, perform the following adjustments. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "FL and FL Offset Count", and
the offset count can be adjusted. These variables introduce an offset (+/‐) to the stored floor count that
was determined in the hoistway learn procedure.
NOTE: The number of pulse counts per inch can be viewed from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
"Hoistway Tables", "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel Cnt”, "Pulses/Inch".
NOTE: Regardless if "Stop On Pos Cnt=0" or if "Stop On Pos Cnt =1", the floor magnet must be set
properly at floor level. If too large of values are entered into "Dn Lev Dist", "Up Lev Dist", or "Offset", the
car will drive past the floor level magnet and re‐level.
Check all signal devices for proper operation and remove all temporary jumpers. The adjustment should
now be complete.

4.4 Make Sure the Car Is Safe
Verify that all elevator doors are closed and that all safety circuits are functional.
4.5 Check Controller Voltage
Turn the main‐line disconnect to the on position. Check the voltage at R, S, and T on the AC drive. Verify
that all three phases are present. Check the voltage at fuses L1 and L2 on controller. If correct, check the
voltage at terminal "LIN" with respect to "GND". The voltage should read 120VAC. If correct, check the
voltage at terminals "S10, LC, & HC" with respect to "GND". All should read 120VAC. If not, check wiring
diagram to determine problem before continuing.
4.6 Verify the Main CPU is Operating
Check to make sure that the "axy" of GALaxy on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface is blinking. If the
"axy" is blinking, continue to the next step. If not, check voltage at terminals 5V to 0V on the 1064 board
to insure 5VDC. If 5VDC is present and the "axy" on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface is not blinking,
then contact factory.
4.7 Preset Adjustable Variables on Safety Processor Board And Main CPU
The 1066 LCD interface (safety processor board) and the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface (main CPU) are

set to. The slowdown limit "Clamp Speed:" will show 0000 until the car is run into the limits and the
speed is recorded. Please refer to Section 10, 1021/1101/1005 LCD Interface, for the Elevator Setup
Menu.
NOTE: The values of the clamp speed velocities above are only temporary settings until the car is
running high speed. In the final adjustment procedure, these values must be set according to the
procedures in Section 4.33, Adjust Digital Slowdown Speed Clamps.
4.13 Ready to Run On Inspection
The car should be ready to run on inspection if all is wired correctly. Select the "Elevator Status" on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface. The display should show "Out of Service" on the first line and
"Inspection Mode" on the second. The 1066 LCD interface will display one of the following types of
inspection:
"MR INS" (Motor Room)
"CT INS" (Car Top)
"ACCESS" (Access)
"IC INS" (In Car)"
"AUTO" (Not on Inspection)
To run the car from the motor room, "MR INS" should be displayed.
The "inspection string" consists of contacts from the inspection switches and the gate and lock bypass
switches in series. One and only one of the five inspection inputs should be on for the car to run.
Starting from the car top inspection input, the five inspection inputs are, "INS" for car top, "ACC" for
access, "ICI" for in‐car, "MRI" for motor room, and "AUTO" for automatic (no inspection). The inspection
string circuit is shown in Figure 4.1
Note that any one of the following conditions will cause an inspection error:
More than one inspection input is on
No inspection input is on
Gate or Lock bypass switch is open and the car is not on car top inspection
If the controller is not on motor room inspection at this point, then verify all switch positions and wiring
before proceeding.

4.14 Adjust the Brake Voltage
Momentarily push the inspection “UP” or “DOWN” push button on the 1064 board while checking the
DC brake voltage with a meter. If the voltage is not correct, it must be adjusted according to the
following procedures.
If the controller utilizes an electronic brake board 1047 or 1051, then the brake voltage is adjusted
through the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Car Brake" sub‐ menu. If the controller utilizes resistors
and rectifiers for the brake coil circuit, then the brake voltage is adjusted by moving the adjustable tap
on the brake resistor.
NOTE: Remove power before adjusting the resistor taps.
To adjust the brake voltage when using and electronic brake board, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Brake" and adjust "Brake Pick Volt", "Brake Hold Volt" and "Brk AC L‐L Volt" to the
proper values.
Make sure that the brake is lifting and setting properly before proceeding.
4.15 Check the Run Direction
Again momentarily push the inspection “UP” or “DOWN” push button on the 1064 board. One of the
following should take place:
The elevator will run controlled, in the correct direction (up for “UP” button, down for “DOWN”
button) with no drive faults. If so, proceed to “Check Inspection Speed”.
The elevator will run controlled, but in the wrong direction with no drive faults. If so, proceed to
"Car Runs The Wrong Direction"
The elevator will try to run, but immediately trips on a drive ENCODER FLT. If so, proceed to
“Drive Trips Immediately”.
The elevator runs much slower than the inspection speed demand. If so, follow the steps in
Section 4.18, Car Runs Extremely Slow.
4.16 Car Runs the Wrong Direction
If the elevator runs controlled but in the wrong direction with no drive faults, then change the run
direction of the motor by one of the following two ways.
Change the motor rotation on the drive from forward to reverse.
USER SWITCHES C1 MOTOR ROTATION
Run the elevator on inspection again and verify that the car runs controlled and in the correct direction.
If so, proceed to "Check Inspection Speed". If not contact the factory.
Turn off the main line disconnect and swap 2 of the motor leads. Also, reverse the encoder direction. If
an encoder isolation board is not used, then change the encoder direction by swapping the wires at the
drive as shown below:
HPV900 A+ (TB1‐21 with A‐ (TB1‐20)
HPV600 A+ (63) with A‐ (62)
HPV-600/900 AC Geared
P a g e | 65
If an encoder isolation board (1022N) is used, move J5 and J7 on the encoder board instead of moving
the encoder wires at the drive. Refer to the jumper diagram on the board.
J5 swaps A & A NOT J7 swaps B & B NOT.
Turn the main disconnect on and run the elevator on inspection again.
The car should run controlled and in the correct direction. If so proceed to “Check Inspection Speed. If
not contact the factory.
4.17 Drive Trips Immediately
If the elevator tries to run, but immediately trips on a drive ENCODER FLT, recheck the drive motor
parameters. This fault is most likely caused by improper parameter settings. Carefully review the drive
MOTOR A5 parameters to match the motor data. Correct any invalid parameters and re‐test the car.
If the parameters are correct, then measure the voltage of the encoder at the drive terminals as shown
below:
Voltage between A+ and A‐ should read greater than 1.5 VDC. For the HPV 900 drive, check
terminals A (TB1‐21) and A‐ (TB1‐20). For the HPV 600 drive, check terminals A+ (63) and A‐ (62).
Voltage between B+ and B‐ should read greater than 1.5 VDC. For the HPV 900 drive check
terminals B+ (TB1‐23) and B‐ (TB1‐22). For the HPV 600 drive, check terminals B+ (65) and B‐
(64).
Voltage between +5 and 0V should read roughly 5 VDC. For the HPV 900 drive check terminals
+5 (TB1‐25) and 0V (TB1‐19). For the HPV 600 drive, check terminals +5 (67) and 0V (61).
If the voltage is incorrect then verify the encoder cable connections. Refer to the job schematics to
correct any wiring error. If no error is found, then contact the factory.
If the voltage is correct then change the encoder direction.
Turn off the main disconnect. If an encoder isolation board is not used, then change the encoder
direction by swapping the wires at the drive as shown below:
HPV 900 ‐ A+ (TB1‐21) with A‐ (TB1‐20)
HPV 600 ‐ A+ (63) with A‐ (62)
If an encoder isolation board (1022N) is used, move J5 and J7 on the encoder board instead of moving
the encoder wires at the drive. Refer to the jumper diagram on the board.
J5 swaps A & A NOT J7 swaps B & B NOT.
Turn on the main disconnect and run the elevator on inspection again. If the elevator runs controlled
and in the correct direction, proceed to “Check Inspection Speed”. If the elevator runs controlled but in
the wrong direction, the go back and follow the directions in Section 4.16, Car Runs The Wrong
Direction.
If the car still trips immediately on an ENCODER FLT, then contact the factory.
4.18 Car Runs Extremely Slow
If the car runs much slower than the inspection speed demand, then change the encoder direction.
Turn off the main disconnect. If an encoder isolation board is not used, then swap the encoder direction
by swapping the wires at the drive as shown below:
HPV 900 ‐ A+ (TB1‐21) with A‐ (TB1‐20)
HPV 600 ‐ A+ (63) with A‐ (62)
If an encoder isolation board (1022N) is used, move J5 and J7 on the encoder board instead of moving
the encoder wires at the drive. Refer to the jumper diagram on the board.
J5 swaps A & A NOT J7 swaps B & B NOT.
Turn on the main disconnect and run the elevator on inspection again. If the elevator runs controlled
and in the correct direction, proceed to "Check Inspection Speed". Otherwise contact the factory.
4.19 Check Inspection Speed
With a hand held tachometer, check the speed of the elevator while running on inspection. The elevator
should be running at 25 fpm. Also run the elevator while monitoring the HPV 900/600 digital operator,
D1 menu, "SPEED FEEDBACK". The display should read 25 fpm.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Elevator Status" menu, navigate until the display shows
"Dmd" and "Vel". While running on inspection, monitor the controller demand speed "Dmd", and the
speed feedback "Vel". These values should both display 25.
If the demand and feedback on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface is incorrect, check the Encoder RPM
and PPR parameters from the “Adjustable Variables” menu. These variables should be set to the values
listed in Section 4.9, 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface "Adjustable Variables -> Car Motion" Submenu.
If the speed on the hand held tachometer and on "Dmd" and "Vel" all read approximately 25 fpm (within
+/‐2 fpm) continue to the next step. If not, contact the factory.

4.20 Verify Controller Encoder Direction
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface "Elevator Status" menu, navigate to display "Dir" and "DP".
While moving the car on inspection, monitor "Dir" (direction) and "DP" (pulse counts). "Dir" should
display "Up" when the car is moving up, and "Dn" when the car is moving down. The value of "Dp"
should increment when the car is moving up, and should decrement when the car is moving down.
If the direction is wrong or the pulse counts change in the wrong direction, then the encoder direction
to the controller must be changed.
If an encoder isolation board (1022N) is used, move J1 and J3 on the encoder board. Refer to the jumper
diagram on the board.
J1 swaps A & A NOT J3 swaps B & B NOT.
If no encoder isolation board is used, the A+ and A‐ encoder wires from the drive must be swapped.
Note that the motor encoder wires are daisy chained from the encoder to the drive and then from the
drive to the controller encoder board. Only the A+ and A‐ wires from the drive to the controller board
must be swapped. The wires from the encoder to the drive must remain on the same terminal locations
on the drive.
If the encoder is counting properly continue to the next step. If not, contact the factory.
Verify Selector and Slowdown Inputs
Run the elevator up on inspection until it stops on the up normal limit. The up and down normal limits
should be set two inches above and below the terminal floors respectively. Verify the selector inputs are
being set properly on the controller by running the elevator down until it stops on the down normal
limit.
As the car approaches floor level going down, “DL” turns on first, then “DZ” and then finally “UL”. At
floor level, “UL, DL, and DZ” inputs should all be on at the same time. Leaving the floor going down “DL”
will turn off first, then “DZ” and last “UL”.
Also verify that the up and down terminal slowdown limits inputs “UT, UTS, DT & DTS” are breaking at
the proper distances as shown in the slowdown table 2.0. “UT, UTS, DT & DTS” turn off when active.
4.21 Verify Car Speed on Safety Processor Board
Run the car in either direction and check the car speed on the 1066 LCD interface. The speed shown
should match the car’s actual speed. If the speed does not match and the secondary feedback comes
from pulses from the tape go to “Correct Car Speed When Using A Tape”. If using 485 tapeless, go to
"Correct Car Speed When Using 485 tapeless". If using CAN Open tapeless, go to "Correct Car Speed
When Using CAN Open tapeless". If the correct speed is shown proceed to Section 4.25, Learn the
Hoistway.
4.22 Correct Car Speed When Using a Tape
The tape has holes every 3/8” that are 3/8” in diameter. On the selector unit adjust the PP sensor closer
to the tape until the orange LED at the end of the sensor turns on. Then turn the sensor inwards another
1/8” and lock in the sensor. While running on top of car inspection verify that the orange LED at the end
of the PP sensor turns on and off as it passes by the holes on the tape. The safety processor board on
the controller measures the time between each pulse to calculate the velocity. If the velocity is not
displayed correctly first make sure that the feedback type in the safety processor board adjustable
variable is set to 0 for a tape application. Next, while the car is running, make sure that the PULSE LED
on this board is pulsing. As the car increases in speed the LED will glow solid on. If the LED does not
pulse, try swapping the wires at the PPS and PP terminals. If the LED still does not work, contact the
factory. If the correct speed is shown proceed to “Learn the Hoistway.
4.23 Correct Car Speed When Using 485 Tapeless System
When using the 485 tapeless system, the secondary speed feedback comes from the encoder mounted
on the governor. The 1066 board uses a serial interface to a Turck absolute encoder, part #
T8.5882.3F0B.3001.
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the "Fdbk Typ = 1", and set the "Enc PPR = 8192". The
"Enc RPM" value must be calculated as described below. To calculate the RPM, divide the contract
speed of the car by the distance travel in one revolution with the governor as shown below:
RPM = Speed fpm/ (diameter GOV * pi)
For a 1 ft. diameter governor: RPM = 350/ (1*pi) = 350/3.1415 = 111.4
For a 16 in diameter governor (16/12 = 1.33ft): RPM = 350/ (1.33* 3.1415) = 350/4.188 = 83.5
4.24 Correct Car Speed When Using CAN Open Tapeless System
When using the CAN Open tapeless system, the secondary speed feedback comes from the incremental
encoder mounted on the machine/motor.
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the "Fdbk Typ = 4", and set the "Enc PPR" equal to the ppr
of the machine/motor‐mounted incremental encoder, and set the "Enc RPM" to the rpm of the
machine/motor at contract speed.
HPV-600/900 AC Geared
P a g e | 69
On the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Pls Cnt" menu. While running the elevator on inspection,
verify that the pulse count value increments when running up and decrements when running down. The
"Pls Cnt" value can be considerably out of range but will automatically correct during the "Learn
Hoistway" procedure. To reverse the direction of pulse counting, navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to
the "Adj Var" menu, "Enc Dir" and set to "0" for clockwise or "1" for counter‐clockwise.
Navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to the "Car Spd" menu. Monitor the "Car Spd" while running the car
at a known inspection speed. The value displayed should match the actual car speed measured with a
hand held tachometer. If not, re‐check the values set in "Enc RPM" and "Enc PPR" in the 1066 LCD
interface. If the speed is correct, proceed to Section 4.25, Learn the Hoistway.
4.25 Learn the Hoistway
Run the elevator down on inspection until it stops on the down normal limit switch. Verify that the “DN
and DL” input LED’s are both off and that the "UL" and "DZ" LED's are on. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Learn Hoistway". The learn procedure can be
performed automatically by choosing "Auto" from the menu items, or performed manually by choosing
"Insp" from the menu items. After choosing the learn method, follow the instructions displayed on
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
In general, the car will run up from the "down normal limit" to the "up normal limit" at 30 fpm. During
this learn run, the DP count for each floor level and each limit switch will be stored in memory.
NOTE: The car must run the entire hoistway without stopping.
As the elevator moves up the hoistway, navigate to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "Disp/Mod Hoistway
Table", and verify that the "DP" count is incrementing as the elevator moves up. Also as the elevator
passes each floor, the pulse count and distance for that floor should change and be stored. Verify that
the floor distances are valid. The pulse count for the terminal slowdowns will also be stored. The
elevator will stop when it reaches the up normal limit. Follow the instructions on the 1021/1101/1005
LCD interface by putting the car on inspection, and then the message "Hoistway Learn Complete" should
be displayed.
Move the elevator on inspection until the “DZ and DL” LED’s are on. Set the "INS" switch on the 1064
board to the “NORMAL” position and the elevator should level down to floor level at the top floor. If so,
proceed to final adjustment.
If the car levels down but does not run, then check “Elevator Status” and “View Fault Log” on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface for any fault information. Correct items causing faults and perform
hoistway learn again. After problem is corrected, and a successful hoistway learn is performed, proceed
to final adjustment.
4.26 Automatic Run
The elevator should now be sitting idle at the top floor. The "AUTO DOOR" switch should be set to the
"OFF" position and the "IND" switch should be set to the "IND" position. If the learn procedure was
successful, the elevator should be ready to make an automatic run.
The default parameter settings for the ride quality should be adequate for an initial run. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface navigate to the "Set Calls and Lockouts" menu, "Setup Car Calls" and
enter a car call. The elevator should run to answer the call. When the elevator levels in and stops at the
floor, the doors will remain closed.
The acceleration and deceleration of the car should be smooth and stepless regardless of the distance of
the run. If the elevator does not function as described above, then problem should be analyzed before
proceeding.
4.27 Drive Adaptive Tune
To complete the setup of the drive, an adaptive tune is required. It is necessary that the car run 70% of
contract speed when running this test so that the drive does not go into flux weakening. In the DRIVE A1
Sub Menu, set the CONTRACT MTR SPD parameter to 70% of the rated motor RPM. If this value was
adjusted to correct the top speed of the car, use 70% of the adjusted value. To calculate 70%, multiply
the value by 0.7. For example, if the motor RPM is 1050 then 70% of the motor RPM is (1050 x 0.7 =
735).
This procedure will also require a balanced load in the car. Follow the adaptive tune procedure set in the
Magnetek HPV 900 or HPV 600 Technical Manual. After completing the adaptive tune, reset the
CONTRACT MTR SPD parameter and then proceed to the next step.
4.28 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
In order to fine tune the ride quality, refer to Figure 4.2 which describes what part of the S‐ curve that
the different parameters effect. In general, higher numbers in the given parameters, cause quicker and
more abrupt changes from one mode to the next during a run. All of the S‐curve parameters have a
minimum and maximum value. The controller will not allow you to enter values that are not valid. After
adjusting the S‐ curve parameters for the desired ride, proceed to the next step.
HPV-600/900 AC Geared

4.29 Adjust the Stop
When at floor level the “UL, DL, & DZ” input LED’s should be on. If the elevator continually tries to seek
floor level by leveling up and down, try the following steps to correct the problem:
Increase the response of the drive by increasing the value of A1 RESPONSE in the HPV 900/600 drive,
and retesting the car.
Reduce the leveling and re‐leveling velocity parameters from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion", "Leveling Speed" and "Relevel Speed".
If the car still oscillates, adjust the "floor level zone" on the selector. The "floor level zone" is increased
by moving the "UL" and "DL" sensors closer together.
If the car stops hard on the brake, then make the following adjustments. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion", and adjust both "Brake Drop Del"
(brake drop delay) and "Soft Stop Time". These variables should be adjusted so that zero speed is
observed at the end of the run prior to the brake setting. The controller should hold the car at zero
speed for the duration of the "Soft Stop Time" which should continue while the brake is setting and for a
short time after the brake sets. The soft stop time MUST be set to at least 0.5 seconds LONGER than the
"Brake Drop Del".
NOTE: The "Soft Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface should be compared with the
setting in the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, "SoftStop". The setting of "SoftStop" in the 1066 LCD
interface should be greater than the "Soft Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
If the car spots when approaching the floor, the cause is usually due to the car not tracking (the drive
response is set too low) or the speed profile into the floor is too aggressive. First try to increase the
response of the drive by increasing the value of parameter A1 RESPONSE in the drive.
If the car still spots: from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu, "Car Motion" and increase the value of "Floor Targ Dis" (floor targeting distance). The default
value for the floor targeting distance is 12 inches. Increase it by steps of 2 or 3 and continue retesting
until the parameter is adjusted to 18. If no change is noticed, start again from 12 and decrease the
value.
The deceleration rate can also be reduced to help remove the spotting. Proceed with adjusting the start
once the proper stop is achieved.
Figure 4.2: SCurve Parameter
4.30 Adjust the Start
To provide a proper start, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and adjust "Brake Pick Del" (brake pick delay), "Pattern Delay", and "Soft
Start Jerk". Initially, set the brake pick delay to 0 and increase the pattern delay by 0.1 seconds until the
controller picks the brake completely before the motor starts to move. If roll back occurs, then reduce
the pattern delay until there is no roll back. Sometimes, the timing works out better if the brake pick
delay is set to 0.1 second. If load weighing is used, pre‐torquing can be used to provide a smoother start.
See Section 4.39, Adjust the Motor Pre‐torque.
Increase the soft start jerk rate in order to provide a quicker transition from the start to constant
acceleration. Keep in mind that the larger the soft start number, the quicker the start. The ride should
now be acceptable.
4.31 Verify Top Speed
To fine tune high speed, make high speed runs while monitoring the SPEED FEEDBACK in the D1
submenu on the HPV drive display. The display should read contract speed, and it should match the
speed displayed on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Elevator Status" menu, "Dmd" and "Vel". This
speed should also match the speed displayed on the 1066 LCD interface, "Car Spd" menu. If all of these
values are the same (+/‐ 2 fpm), then proceed to the next step. If the speed is not correct increase or
decrease drive parameter A1 CONTARCT MTR SPD until the AC drive display reads contract speed. When
the speed displayed is correct, proceed to the next step.
4.32 Adjust Safety Processor Board Speed Clamps
The 1066 Safety Processor Board monitors the speed of the elevator at the terminal landings
independently from the main CPU.
HPV-600/900 AC Geared
P a g e | 73
When the "UT, DT, UTS, and DTS" limit switches are activated, the 1066 board calculates the velocity of
the elevator and compares that velocity with a stored value of speed clamp. If the velocity when the
switch activates is greater than the speed clamp value, then the 1066 board will generate a fault that
stops the elevator.
To set the speed clamps, make a one floor run to the top floor.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Lim Vel" menu, and view the recorded velocities
displayed for the “UT, DT, UTS & DTS” slowdown limits. “UTS & DTS” are used on car with reduced
stroke buffers or with a top speed greater than 200 fpm. The velocity value is shown from the “LIM VEL”
menu on the 1066 LCD interface.
The velocity value shown on the display for the UT or DT” limit is the value after the car activates the
limit then counts an adjustable number of counts the 1066 LCD interface, "Adj Var" menu, "UT Count" or
"DT Count". These count values can be adjusted to provide adequate distance, following the limit switch
activation, to allow the elevator to begin its normal decel pattern. The default "UT Count" and "DT
Count" values are normally adequate. However, these values may need to be field adjusted to allow
enough distance for the car to begin its normal decel pattern. If the "UT Count" and "DT Count" values
are modified, the limit velocities must be re‐ checked.
Run the car again to the top repeatedly from 2 floors, then 3 floors, etc., until top speed is reached.
Record the limit velocities each time the car stops at the top floor. From the 1066 LCD interface "Lim
Vel" menu, record the limit velocities displayed each time the car stops at the top floor.
Make the same runs to the bottom floor starting from 1 floor, then 2 floors, then 3 floors, etc., until top
speed is reached. From the 1066 LCD interface "Lim Vel" menu, record the limit velocities displayed each
time the car stops at the bottom floor.
Take the highest speed value recorded in the runs above and add 20 fpm to that value to use as the
clamp speed values for the respective limit switches. Enter these clamp speed values into the 1066 LCD
interface "Adj Var" menu, "UT Vel", "DT Vel", "UTS Vel", "DTS Vel" respectively.
4.33 Adjust Digital Slowdown Speed Clamps
Having just made several runs into the top and bottom landings, the main CPU has also recorded the
car’s velocity when the slowdown limits were activated. If the car has been powered down prior to this
step, several runs must to be made to the terminal landings to allow the main CPU to record the limit
velocity values.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Set DT/UT Slowdown
Clamp" and view the speed displayed for "Clamp Speed". Add 20 fpm to this "Clamp Speed" value and
enter it into the "DT/UT Limit" value.
The number of slowdown limits depends on the speed of the car as show in the table below:
Table 4.1: Slowdown Clamps
Adjust speed clamps for each slowdown limits used as determined by the elevator’s contract speed.
4.34 Verify Inspection Velocity Clamp on Safety Processor Board
Place the car on inspection operation. From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var" menu, "Ins
Vel" and set the speed clamp velocity to 25 fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to
the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to 50 fpm. Run the car in
either direction and verify that the car shuts down when the speed rises above 25 fpm.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var" menu, "Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp to 140
fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to the desired value.
4.35 Analog Load Weigher Setup
If the job uses an analog load weigher purchased from G.A.L., complete the following procedure.
Mount the load weigher as described by the manufacturer. The load weigher control box will also
contain a board supplied by G.A.L. that connects to the controller serial CAN bus and reads in the analog
output from the load weighing device. Wire the load weigher and G.A.L. board according to the
controller schematics.
HPV-600/900 AC Geared
P a g e | 75
Calibrate the load weighing device hardware according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Following
proper installation of the load weighing device, proceed to Section 4.36, Empty Car Setup.
NOTE: It is recommended using two people, one moving the weights and one in the machine room to
set up the load weigher.
4.36 Empty Car Setup
Verify that the load weighing device is communicating to the main CPU by performing the following
steps. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Diagnostics" menu, "Car Comm Status",
"Car to LW Board" and verify that "On‐ line = 1". If "On‐line = 0" then verify wiring and installation of
load weighing device.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher Setup",
"Setup Load Weigher" and follow the instructions on the display as you go through the procedure.
It is okay to exit the setup screen to place a call and then return to it while the setup is being performed.
Run the car to the bottom floor and press Enter on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface when prompted
to do so to start the automatic setup sequence.
If the car is at the bottom floor and the doors are not closed (the doors will not close automatically from
turning off the auto‐door switch) then place a car call to run the car up one floor then back again. The
doors will close when the call is placed.
When the automatic sequence is activated, the car will run to each floor and measure the empty load
value. The 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface will indicate when the sequence is finished.
4.37 Full Car Setup
NOTE: The empty car setup must be successfully completed to run the full load setup.
Once the empty car setup is complete, run to the loading floor and set the "AUTO DOOR" switch to the
"ON" position to allow weights to be loaded on the car. With the car fully loaded, set the "AUTO DOOR"
switch to the "OFF" position and run the car to the bottom floor. Again if the doors are not closed, make
a one floor run to force the doors to close.
With the car at the bottom floor, follow the instructions on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface to start
the full load setup sequence. The car will automatically run to each floor and measure the full load
value. When the full load measurement is complete, the car can be run to the loading floor and the
weights removed.
After the weights are removed, cycle the doors to complete the procedure. From the 1021/1101/1005
LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher Setup", "View/Modify LW Setup"
and verify the load weigher status, "LW Device Stat: ON OK". If the status is "ON OK", then the load
weigher should be accurately measuring the car load in real time. The percent load will be displayed,
"Load: _%".
The percent load values for different service options can now be set. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Service Options", and set the following
variables:
"Load Bypass"
"Load Antinuisance"
"Load Dispatch"
"Load Overload"
NOTE: Setting the values of the variables above to 0% will disable that particular option.
4.38 Load Weighing Calibration Sequence
The load weigher is automatically calibrated once each week. If an error is detected during this
calibration sequence, the load weigher and the pre‐torque feature (if used) is disabled. A load weighing
calibration sequence can be done manually by performing the following procedure. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher Setup", "Load
Weigher Calibration" and follow the instructions on the display.
4.39 Adjust the Motor Pretorque
NOTE: The motor pre‐torque uses the load value obtained from the analog load weigher and will only
work if the load weigher has been installed properly, and the "Load Weigher Setup" has been performed
successfully.
On the HPV‐600 or HPV‐900 drive under User Switches C1 parameter, set Pre‐Torque source to serial.
Run the empty car to a middle floor. The long pattern delay will allow an exaggerated amount of roll
back in order for the pre‐torquing to be set accurately. Make a one floor run down and observe the roll
back when the brake picks at the start of the run. Increase the "Torque Amount" variable and continue
HPV-600/900 AC Geared
P a g e | 77
to monitor the roll back while performing one floor runs in the down direction. As the "Torque Amount"
is increased, the roll back should be minimized until the car will hold zero speed for the entire "Pattern
Delay" time. A typical value for the "Torque Amount" is 40%. If the value is too large, the car will roll
forward during the "Pattern Delay" time.
NOTE: Pattern delay must be at least 0.15 seconds (150 milliseconds). Setting the torque amount to 0.0
will disable the pre‐ torque feature. Also if the load weighing calibration sequence detects a load
weighing error, the pre‐torque feature is also automatically disabled.
4.40 Verify the Doors Are Safe
The elevator should now be adjusted. Verify that all door locks, gate switches, and safety circuits are
operational. Set the "INSP" switch to the "NORM" position and set the "AUTO DOOR" switch to the "ON"
position. The elevator should level into the floor and open the doors. If the doors do not open, check the
door operator wiring and cam adjustment. If the doors do open, the elevator is now on independent
service.
4.41 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
Ride the elevator and evaluate the ride quality. Fine tune ride quality by navigating to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and adjusting the variables shown in Figure 4.2. Keep in mind that if
acceleration or deceleration values are changed, the speed clamps for the safety processor board and
the S‐curve board may need to be re‐adjusted.
To fine tune the floor level accuracy, determine if the controller is set to stop when "UL" and "DL"
signals turn on, or if controller is set to stop off of the position count. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and view the "Stop On Pos Cnt"
variable. If "Stop On Pos Cnt = 0" then controller is set to stop when the "UL and "DL" signals turn on. If
"Stop On Pos Cnt = 1" then controller is set to stop on a combination of the floor level magnet and the
position count.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 0", the floor levels should be set by adjusting the floor level magnet at each
floor. For proper operation, the floor magnets should be set to exactly floor level. After the floor levels
are set properly, perform another hoistway learn procedure.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 1", the floor levels are set by using both the floor magnet and the position
count. For proper operation with this setting, the floor magnet should be set to exactly floor level. The
final stop can then be fine‐tuned by performing the following adjustments.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel
Cnt" and adjust "Dn Lev Dist" and "Up Lev Dist". The units for these variables are in "pulse counts". With
"Stop On Pos Cnt =1" the car will continue to move for the "Dn Lev Dist" or "Up Lev Dist" after "UL and
DL" turn on. Use the "Dn Lev Dist" and the "Up Lev Dist" parameters to make level changes at all floors.
To make level changes at individual floors, perform the following adjustments. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "FL and FL Offset Count", and
the offset count can be adjusted. These variables introduce an offset (+/‐) to the stored floor count that
was determined in the hoistway learn procedure.
NOTE: The number of pulse counts per inch can be viewed from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
"Hoistway Tables", "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel Cnt”, "Pulses / Inch".
NOTE: Regardless if "Stop On Pos Cnt=0" or if "Stop On Pos Cnt =1", the floor magnet must be set
properly at floor level. If too large of values are entered into "Dn Lev Dist", "Up Lev Dist", or "Offset", the
car will drive past the floor level magnet and re‐level.
Check all signal devices for proper operation and remove all temporary jumpers. The adjustment should
now be complete.

voltage at terminals 5V to 0V on the 1064 board
to insure 5VDC. If 5VDC is present and the “axy”
on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface is not blinking,
then
contact factory.

5.14 Ready to Run On Inspection
The car should be ready to run on inspection if all
is wired correctly. Select the “Elevator Status on
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface. The display should show “Out
of Service” on the first line and “Inspection
Mode” on the second. The 1066 LCD interface
will display one of the following types of
inspection:
“MR INS” (Motor Room)
“CT INS” (Car Top) “ACCESS” (Access)
“IC INS” (In Car)
“AUTO” (Not on Inspection)
To run the car from the motor room, “MR INS”
should be displayed.
The “inspection string” (Figure 5.1) consist of
contacts from the inspection switches and the
gate and
lock bypass switches in series. One and
only one of the five inspection inputs should be
on for the car to
run. Starting from the car top
inspection input, the five inspection inputs are,
“INS” for car top, “ACC”
for access, “ICI” for in‐car, MRI” for motor room, and “AUTO” for
automatic (no inspection).
Note that any of the following conditions will
cause an inspection error:
More than one inspection input is on
No inspection input is on
Gate or Lock bypass switch is open and the car
is not on car top inspection
If the controller is not on motor room inspection
at this point, then verify all switch positions and
wiring
before proceeding.

5.15 Adjust the Brake Voltage
Momentarily push the inspection “UP” or
“DOWN” push button on the 1064 board while
checking the
DC brake voltage with a meter.
If the voltage is not correct, it must be adjusted
according to the following procedures.
If the controller utilizes an electronic brake board
1047 or 1051, then the brake voltage is adjusted
through the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Car Brake" sub‐
menu. If the controller utilizes resistors
and
rectifiers for the brake coil circuit, then the brake
voltage is adjusted by moving the adjustable tap
on the brake resistor.
NOTE: Remove power before adjusting the
resistor taps.
To adjust the brake voltage when using and
electronic brake board, navigate to the
"Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Brake" and
adjust "Brake Pick Volt", "Brake Hold Volt" and
"Brk AC L‐L Volt" to
the proper values. Make sure
that the brake is lifting and setting properly
before proceeding.
5.16 Check Run Direction
Momentarily push the inspection “UP” or
“DOWN” push button on the 1064 board. One of
the following
should take place:
The elevator will run controlled, in the correct
direction (up for “UP” button, down for “DOWN”
button)
with no drive faults. If so, proceed to
“Check Inspection Speed”.
The elevator will run controlled, but in the wrong
direction (down for “UP” button, up of “DOWN”
button) with no drive faults. If so, proceed to "Car
Runs the Wrong Direction".
The elevator will try to run, but immediately trips
on a drive fault. Re‐check the drive parameters.
If an
encoder is used and the drive records an
ENCODER FLT proceed to “Verify Encoder
Connection”. If no
encoder is used, then contact
the factory.
The elevator will run controlled but very slow;
proceed to “Verify Encoder Connection”.
5.17 Car Runs Wrong Direction
If the elevator runs controlled but in the wrong
direction, with no drive faults, then change
rotation of
the motor. For an HPV 900 or 600
drive the motor rotation can be changed from the
drive command.
For a GPD 515 drive the motor
leads will need to be swapped.
With HPV 900 or HPV 600
USER SWITCHES C1
MOTOR ROTATION
With GPD 515
Turn off the power and switch any two motor
leads. If an encoder is used, then swap the A+ and
A‐ wires
as follows:
A+ (TA1‐4) with A‐ (TA1‐5)
The motor should run controlled in the correct
direction. If not then contact the factory,
otherwise,
proceed to “Run Inspection Speed”.
5.18 Verify Encoder Connection
If the elevator tries to run, but immediately trips
on a drive ENCODER FLT or if the car runs very
slow,
then the drive encoder direction needs to
be changed.
If the controller has an encoder isolation board
(1022N), change the encoder direction for the
drive by
moving jumper J5 from “POS 1” to “POS
2”. This will swap the A and A‐ signals. Refer to
the jumper
diagram on the 1022 board.
J5 swaps A & A NOT J7 swaps B & B NOT.
If the controller does not have an encoder
isolation board, then turn off the main
disconnect, and swap
the encoder wires at the
drive as follows:
With HPV 900 A+ (TB1‐21) with A‐ (TB1‐20)
With HPV 600 A+ (Encoder Card Terminal 63) with A‐ (Encoder
Card Terminal 62)
With GPD 515
A+ (TA1‐4) with A‐ (TA1‐5)
P a g e | 89
HPV-600/900 Non-Distance Feedback
Turn on the main disconnect, run the elevator on
inspection again.
If the elevator runs controlled, in the correct
direction, proceed to the next step. If the
elevator runs
controlled but in the wrong
direction, with no drive faults, then turn off the
main disconnect, and swap
the hoist motor field
wires. Also swap the encoder wires or the
encoder isolation board jumpers back as
they were to begin with. Turn the main disconnect on.
The car should now run controlled in the correct
direction. If not, contact the factory.
5.19 Check Inspection Speed
With a hand held tachometer, check the speed of
the elevator while running on inspection. The
elevator
should be running at 25 fpm. Also run
the elevator while monitoring speed feedback on
the HPV 900,
HPV 600 or GPD 515 drive display.
The display should show the inspection speed
value in feet per
minute or in hertz. If the speed
on both of these devices reads within +/‐ 2 fpm
of the programmed
speed, then continue to the
next step. If not, contact the factory.
If using a GPD 515 drive, the speed display will be
in hertz. Top speed will usually be 60Hz. The
following
formula is used to calculate the speed
in Hz.
Speed (Hz) = (Speed (fpm)/ Top Speed (fpm)) *60
Example: Top Speed = 200 fpm Inspection Speed = 25 fpm Maximum Drive Frequency = 60 Hz Ins.
Speed
(Hz) = (25/200) * 60=7.5 Hz
5.20 Check Selector Inputs
Run the elevator up on inspection until it stops on
the up normal limit. The up and down normal
limits
should be set two inches above and below
the terminal floors respectively. Verify the
selector inputs
are being set properly on the
controller by running the elevator down until it
stops on the down normal
limit. As the car
approaches floor level going down, “DL” turns on
first, then “DZ” and then finally “UL”.
At floor
level, “UL, DL, and DZ” inputs should all be on at the same time. Leaving the floor going down
“DL”
will turn off first, then “DZ” and last “UL”.
5.21 Verify Slowdown Limits
As the car is running down verify that the up and
down slowdown sensors for each floor, “US and
DS”,
activate prior to reaching the landing. Also
verify that the up and down terminal slowdown
limits inputs
“UT, UTS, DT & DTS are breaking at
the proper distances as shown in the slowdown
table 2.0. “US and
DS” turn on when active but
“UT, UTS, DT & DTS” turn off when active.
“UT & DT” should turn off one inch closer to the
terminal floor levels than when the “US & DS”
inputs
turn on.
5.22 Verify Car Speed on Safety Processor Board
Run the car in both directions and check the car
speed on the 1066 LCD interface. The speed
shown
should match the car’s actual speed. If the
speed does not match and the secondary
feedback comes
from pulses from the tape, go to
Section 5.23, Correct Car Speed When using A Tape. If the
correct
speed is shown proceed to Section 5.24, Automatic Run.
5.23 Correct Car Speed When Using a Tape
The tape has holes every 3/8” that are 3/8” in
diameter. The safety processor measures the
time
between each pulse to calculate the
velocity. If the velocity is not displayed correctly,
first make sure
that the feedback type in the
safety processor board adjustable variable is set
to “0” for a tape
application. Next, while the car
is running, make sure that the PULSE LED on this
board is pulsing. As the
car increases in speed the LED will glow solid on. If the LED does not pulse,
try swapping the wires at the
PPS and PP
terminals. If the LED still does not work, contact
the factory. If the correct speed is shown
proceed to “Final Adjustment”.

P a g e | 91
HPV-600/900 Non-Distance Feedback
5.24 Automatic Run
With the car on inspection, bring it to a normal
limit at a terminal landing. Make sure the normal limit
input is off. The "AUTO DOOR" switch
should be set to the "OFF" position and the "IND"
switch should be
set to the "IND" position. Set the
"INS" switch to the "NORMAL". The car should
level into the floor. From
the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface
navigate to the "Set Calls and Lockouts" menu,
"Setup Car Calls" and
enter a car call. The
elevator should run to answer the call. When the
elevator levels in and stops at the
floor, the doors
will remain closed.
5.25 Adjust the Drive Speed Profile
The S‐Curve parameters in the drive adjust the
ride and performance of the car. Since the
slowdown
distances for each floor are fixed
distances, these parameters must be adjusted to
bring the car into the
floor without over shooting
or spotting at the floor. The following
parameters adjust the speed profile.

C2‐04 S‐curve Decel End
D1‐03 Freq Ref = Lev Speed
D1‐04 Freq Ref = High Speed
D1‐09 Freq Ref = Ins Speed
Perform a preliminary adjustment of the speed
profile from the drive so that several successful
runs
from floor to floor can be made.
If using an HPV 900 or HPV 600, run the adaptive
tune procedure next, otherwise, if using a GPD
515
proceed to adjust the stop. Keep in mind that
the response of the drive may need to be
adjusted.
5.26 Drive Adaptive Tune (HPV 900 /600 Only)
To complete the setup of the drive, an adaptive
tune is required. It is necessary that the car run
70% of
contract speed when running this test so
that the drive does not go into flux weakening. In
the DRIVE A1
Sub Menu, set the CONTRACT MTR
SPD parameter to 70% of the rated motor RPM.
If this value was
adjusted to correct the top speed
of the car, use 70% of the adjusted value. To
calculate 70%, multiply
the value by 0.7. For
example, if the motor RPM is 1050 then 70% of
the motor RPM is (1050 x 0.7 =
735). This procedure will also require balanced load in the
car. Follow the adaptive tune procedure
set in
the Magnetek HPV 900 or HPV 600 Technical
Manual. After completing the adaptive tune reset
the CONTRACT MTR SPD parameter and then
proceed to the next step.
5.27 Adjust the Stop
When at floor level the “UL, DL, & DZ” input LEDs
should be on. If the elevator continually tries to
seek
floor level by leveling up and down, try the
following steps to correct the problem:
Increase the response of the drive and retest
the car.
Reduce the leveling and re‐leveling velocity
parameters in the car and retest.
Make sure the brake is dropping quickly enough.
If the car still oscillates, adjust the "floor level"
on the selector. The "floor level" is increased by
moving
the selector sensor boards closer
together.
P a g e | 93
HPV-600/900 Non-Distance Feedback
If the car spots when approaching the floor, the
cause is usually due to the car not tracking. Try
increasing the response of the drive again. The
deceleration rate can also be reduced a little to
help
remove the spotting. Once the proper stop
is achieved, proceed to the next step.
5.28 Adjust the Start
To provide a proper start, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables"
menu, "Car Motion" and adjust "Brake Pick Del"
(brake pick delay) and "Pattern Delay". Also
adjust the start jerk rate in the drive.
Initially, set the brake pick delay to 0 and increase
the pattern delay by 0.1 seconds until the
controller
picks the brake completely before the
motor starts to move. If roll back occurs, then
reduce the
pattern delay until there is no roll
back. Sometimes, the timing works out better if
the brake pick
delay is set to 0.1 second.
Adjust the drive start jerk rate to smooth out the
start.
With the HPV 900 or HPV 600
Adjust Jerk Rate 1
With the GPD 515
Adjust C2‐01 S‐curve Accel Start
Refer to the GPD 515 manual for instructions to
adjust the following parameters:
B6‐01, B6‐02, B6‐03 and B6‐04
Once the ride is acceptable, proceed to the next
step.
5.29 Adjust Safety Processor Board Speed
Clamps
The 1066 Safety Processor Board monitors the
speed of the elevator at the terminal landings
independently from the main CPU.
When the "UT, DT, UTS, and DTS" limit switches
are activated, the 1066 board calculates the
velocity of
the elevator and compares that
velocity with a stored value of speed clamp. If the
velocity when the
switch activates is greater than
the speed clamp value, then the 1066 board will
generate a fault that
stops the elevator.
To set the speed clamps, make a one floor run to
the top floor.
After the car stops, record the velocity the car hit
the “UT, DT, UTS & DTS” slowdown limits. “UTS
& DTS” are used on car with reduced stroke
buffers or with a top speed greater than 200 fpm.
The
velocity value is shown from the “LIM VEL”
menu on the 1066 LCD interface.
The velocity value shown on the display for the
“UT or DT” limit is the value after the car activates
the
limit then counts an adjustable number of
counts set from the 1066 LCD interface, "Adj Var"
menu,
"UT Count" or "DT Count". These count
values can be adjusted to provide adequate
distance, following
the limit switch activation, to
allow the elevator to begin its normal decel
pattern. The default "UT
Count" and "DT Count"
values are normally adequate. However, these
values may need to be field
adjusted to allow
enough distance for the car to begin its normal
decel pattern. If the "UT Count" and
"DT Count"
values are modified, the limit velocities must be
re‐checked.
Run the car again to the top repeatedly from 2
floors, then 3 floors, etc., until top speed is
reached.
From the 1066 LCD interface "Lim Vel"
menu, record the limit velocities displayed each
time the car
stops at the top floor. Make the
same runs to the bottom floor starting from 1
floor, then 2 floors,
then 3 floors, etc., until top
speed is reached. From the 1066 LCD interface
"Lim Vel" menu, record the
limit velocities
displayed each time the car stops at the bottom
floor. Take the highest speed value
recorded in
the runs above and add 20 fpm to that value to
use as the clamp speed values for the
respective
limit switches. Enter these clamp speed values
into the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu,
"UT
Vel", "DT Vel", "UTS Vel", "DTS Vel" respectively.
The number of slowdown limits depends on the
speed of the car as show in the table below:
Table 5.1: Slowdown Clamps
P a g e | 95
HPV-600/900 Non-Distance Feedback
5.30 Verify Inspection Velocity Clamp on Safety
Processor Board
Place the car on inspection operation. From the
1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var"
menu,
"Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp velocity
to 25 fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to 50 fpm.
Run the car in
either direction and verify that the
car shuts down when the speed rises above 25
fpm.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj
Var" menu, "Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp to
140
fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to the
desired value.
5.31 Analog Load Weigher Setup
If the job uses an analog load weigher purchased from G.A.L., complete the following procedure.
NOTE: It is recommended using two people, one moving the weights and one in the machine room to
set up the load weigher.
Mount the load weigher as described by the
manufacturer. The load weigher control box will also
contain a board supplied by G.A.L. that
connects to the controller serial CAN bus and
reads in the analog
output from the load
weighing device. Wire the load weigher and G.A.L. board according to the
controller
schematics.
Calibrate the load weighing device hardware
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Following
proper installation of the load weighing
device, proceed to Section 5.32, Empty Car
Setup.
5.32 Empty Car Setup
Verify that the load weighing device is
communicating to the main CPU by performing
the following
steps. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Diagnostics" menu, "Car Comm
Status",
"Car to LW Board" and verify that "On‐
line = 1". If "On‐line = 0" then verify wiring and
installation of
load weighing device.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher
Setup",
"Setup Load Weigher" and follow the instructions
on the display as you go through the
procedure.
It is okay to exit the setup screen to place a call and then return to it while the setup is being
performed.
Run the car to the bottom floor and press Enter
on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface when prompted,
to
start the automatic setup sequence.
If the car is at the bottom floor and the doors are
not closed, (the doors will not close automatically
from
turning off the auto‐door switch), then
place a car call to run the car up one floor then
back again. The
doors will close when the call is
placed.
When the automatic sequence is activated, the
car will run to each floor and measure the empty
load
value. The 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface will indicate
when the sequence if finished.
5.33 Full Car Setup
NOTE: The empty car setup must be successfully
completed to run the full load setup.
Once the empty car setup is complete, run to the
loading floor and set the "AUTO DOOR" switch to
the
"ON" position to allow weights to be loaded
on the car. With the car fully loaded, set the
"AUTO DOOR"
switch to the "OFF" position and
run the car to the bottom floor. Again if the doors
are not closed, make
a one floor run to force the
doors to close.
With the car at the bottom floor, follow the
instructions on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface to start
the full load setup sequence. The car will
automatically run to each floor and measure the
full load
value. When the full load measurement
is complete, the car can be run to the loading
floor and the
weights removed.
After the weights are removed, cycle the doors to
complete the procedure. From the 1021/1101/1005
LCD
interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu,
"Load Weigher Setup", "View/Modify LW Setup"
and verify the load weigher status, "LW Device
Stat: ON OK". If the status is "ON OK", then the
load
weigher should be accurately measuring the car load in real time. The percent load will be
displayed,
"Load: %".
The percent load values for different service
options can now be set. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD

Please refer to Section 10, 1021/1101/1005 LCD Interface, for
the Elevator Setup Menu.
NOTE: The values of the clamp speed velocities
above are only temporary settings until the car is
running high speed. In the final adjustment
procedure, these values must be set according to
the
procedures in Section 6.33, Adjust Digital Slowdown Speed Clamps.
6.14 Ready to Run On Inspection
The car should be ready to run on inspection if all
is wired correctly. Select the “Elevator Status on
the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface. The display should show
“Out of Service” on the first line and
“Inspection
Mode” on the second. The 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface on
the Safety Processor Board will
display one of the
following types of inspection:
“MR INS” (Motor Room)
“CT INS” (Car Top)
“ACCESS” (Access)
“IC INS” (In Car)
“AUTO” (Not on Inspection)
To run the car from the motor room, “MR INS”
should be displayed.
The “inspection string” consists of contacts from
the inspection switches and the gate and lock
bypass
switches in series. One and only one of the
five inspection inputs should be on for the car to
run. Starting
from the car top inspection input, the five inspection inputs are, “INS” for car top,
“ACC” for access,
“ICI” for in‐ car, “MRI” for
motor room, and “AUTO” for automatic (no
inspection). The inspection string
circuit is shown
in Figure 6.1.
NOTE: Any one of the following conditions will
cause an inspection error:
More than one inspection input is on
No inspection input is on
Gate or Lock bypass switch is open and
the car is not on car top inspection
If the controller is not on motor room inspection
at this point, then verify all switch positions and
wiring
before proceeding.

6.15 Adjust the Brake Voltage
Momentarily push the inspection “UP” or
“DOWN” push button on the 1064 board while
checking the
DC brake voltage with a meter. If the
voltage is not correct, it must be adjusted
according to the
following procedures.
If the controller utilizes an electronic brake board
1047 or 1051, then the brake voltage is adjusted
through the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Car Brake" sub‐
menu. If the controller utilizes resistors
and
rectifiers for the brake coil circuit, then the brake
voltage is adjusted by moving the adjustable tap
on the brake resistor.
NOTE: Remove power before adjusting the
resistor taps.
To adjust the brake voltage when using and
electronic brake board, navigate to the
"Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Brake" and
adjust "Brake Pick Volt", "Brake Hold Volt" and
"Brk AC L‐L Volt" to
the proper values. Make sure
that the brake is lifting and setting properly
before proceeding.
6.16 Check the Run Direction
Momentarily push the inspection “UP” or
“DOWN” push button on the 1064 board. One of
the following
should take place:
The elevator will run controlled, in the correct
direction (up for “UP” button, down for “DOWN”
button)
with no drive faults. If so, proceed to
“Check Inspection Speed”.
The elevator will run controlled, but in the wrong
direction (down for “UP” button, up of “DOWN”
button) with no drive faults. If so, proceed to
Section 6.17, Car Runs In The Wrong Direction.
The elevator will try to run, but immediately trip
on a drive fault “Encoder Fault”. If so, proceed to
Section 6.18, Drive Trips immediately.
6.17 Car Runs in The Wrong Direction
If the elevator runs controlled but in the wrong
direction, with no drive faults, then turn off the
main
disconnect, swap the hoist motor field
wires.
Also swap the encoder direction by swapping the
encoder
wires or if an encoder isolation board (1022N)
is
used, move J5 and J7 on the encoder board. Refer
to the jumper diagram on the board.
J5 swaps A & A NOT J7 swaps B & B NOT.
To change the encoder direction at the drive,
swap the following wires:
A+ (TB3‐2) with B+ (TB3‐4)
A‐ (TB3‐3) with B‐ (TB3‐5)
Turn the main disconnect on, run the elevator on
inspection again, and it should run controlled and
in
correct direction. If so, proceed to “Check
Inspection Speed”. If not, contact the factory.
6.18 Drive Trips Immediately
If the elevator tries to run, but immediately trips
on a drive fault “Encoder Fault”, then turn off the
main
disconnect, and swap the encoder direction
by swapping the encoder wires or if an encoder isolation
board (1022N) is used, move J5 and J7 on the
encoder board. Refer to the jumper diagram on
the board.
J5 swaps A & A NOT J7 swaps B & B NOT.
Turn on the main disconnect and run the elevator
on inspection again. If the elevator runs
controlled and
in the correct direction, proceed
to next section.
If the elevator runs controlled but in the wrong
direction, then go back and follow the directions
in
Section 6.17, Car Runs The Wrong Direction. If
the car still trips immediately on a drive fault,
then
contact the factory.
6.19 Check Inspection Speed
With a hand held tachometer, check the speed of
the elevator while running on inspection. The
elevator
should be running at 25 f.p.m. Also run
the elevator while monitoring Function Speed
Feedback on the
Quattro drive under Display D0,
Elevator Data D1, and Speed Feedback. This function
should also read
25 f.p.m.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface select the "Elevator
Status" menu, navigate until the display
shows
"Dmd" and "Vel". While running on inspection,
monitor the controller demand speed "Dmd",
and
the speed feedback "Vel". These values
should both display 25. If the demand and
feedback on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface is incorrect,
check the Encoder RPM and PPR parameters
from the
“Adjustable Variables” menu. These
variables should be set to values listed in Section 6.9,
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface "Adjustable Variables ->Car Motion" Submenu.
If the speed on the hand held tachometer and on
"Dmd" and "Vel" all read approximately 25 fpm
(within
+/‐2 fpm) continue to the next step. If not,
contact the factory.
P a g e | 107
DC Quattro Drive
6.20 Verify Controller Encoder Direction
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface "Elevator Status"
menu, navigate to display "Dir" and "DP".
While
moving the car on inspection, monitor "Dir"
(direction) and "DP" (pulse counts). "Dir" should
display "Up" when the car is moving up, and "Dn"
when the car is moving down. The value of "Dp"
should
increment when the car is moving up, and
should decrement when the car is moving down.
If the direction is wrong or the pulse counts
change in the wrong direction, then the encoder
direction
to the controller must be changed. If an
encoder isolation board (1022N) is used, move J1
and J3 on the
encoder board. Refer to the jumper
diagram on the board.
J1 swaps A & A NOT J3 swaps B & B NOT.
If no encoder isolation board is used, the A+ and
A‐ encoder wires from the drive must be
swapped.
Note that the motor encoder wires are
daisy chained from the encoder to the drive and
then from the
drive to the controller encoder
board. Only the A+ and A‐ wires from the drive to
the controller board
must be swapped. The wires
from the encoder to the drive must remain on the
same terminal locations
on the drive.
If the encoder is counting properly continue to
the next step. If not, contact the factory.
6.21 Verify Selector and Slowdown Inputs
Run the elevator up on inspection until it stops on
the up normal limit. The up and down normal
limits
should be set two inches above and below
the terminal floors respectively. Verify the
selector inputs
are being set properly on the
controller by running the elevator down until it
stops on the down normal
limit.
As the car approaches floor level going down,
“DL” turns on first, then “DZ” and then finally
“UL”. At
floor level, “UL, DL, and DZ” inputs
should all be on at the same time. Leaving the
floor going down
“DL” will turn off first, then “DZ”
and last “UL”.
Also verify that the up and down terminal
slowdown limits inputsUT, UTS, DT & DTS” are
breaking at
the proper distances as shown in the
slowdown table 2.0. “UT, UTS, DT & DTS” turn off
when active.
6.22 Verify Car Speed on Safety Processor Board
Run the car in either direction and check the car
speed on the 1066 LCD interface. The speed
shown
should match the car’s speed actual
speed. If the speed does not match and the
secondary feedback
comes from pulses from the
tape go to “Correct Car Speed When Using A
Tape”. If using 485 tapeless,
go to "Correct Car
Speed When Using 485 tapeless". If using CAN
Open tapeless, go to "Correct Car
Speed When
Using CAN Open tapeless". If the correct speed is
shown proceed to
Section 6.26, Learn
the Hoistway.
6.23 Correct Car Speed When Using A Tape
Installed In Hoistway
The tape has holes every 3/8” that are 3/8” in
diameter. On the selector unit adjust the PP
sensor closer
to the tape until the orange LED at
the end of the sensor turns on. Then turn the
sensor inwards
another 1/8” and lock in the
sensor. While running on top of car inspection
verify that the orange
LED at the end of the PP
sensor turns on and off as it passes by the holes
on the tape. The safety
processor measures the
time between each pulse to calculate the
velocity. If the velocity is not
displayed correctly
first make sure that the feedback type in the
safety processor board adjustable
variable is set
to 0 for a tape application. Next, while the car is
running, make sure that the PULSE LED
on this
board is pulsing. As the car increases in speed the
LED will glow solid on. If the LED does not
pulse,
try swapping the wires at the PPS and PP
terminals. If the LED still does not work, contact
the
factory. If the correct speed is shown proceed
to “Learn the Hoistway”.
6.24 Correct Car Speed When Using 485
Tapeless System
When using the 485 tapeless system, the
secondary speed feedback comes from the
encoder mounted
on the governor. The 1066
board uses a serial interface to a Turck absolute
encoder, part #
T8.5882.3F0B.3001.
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the
"Fdbk Typ = 1", and set the "Enc PPR = 8192". The
"Enc
RPM" value must be calculated as described
below. To calculate the RPM, divide the contract
speed of
the car by the distance travel in one
revolution with the governor as shown below:
RPM = Speed fpm/ (diameter GOV * pi)
For a 1 ft. diameter governor: RPM = 350/ (1*pi) = 350/3.1415 = 111.4
For a 16 in diameter governor (16/12 = 1.33ft):
RPM = 350/ (1.33* 3.1415) = 350/4.188 = 83.5
6.25 Correct Car Speed When Using CAN Open
Tapeless System
When using the CAN Open tapeless system, the
secondary speed feedback comes from the
incremental
encoder mounted on the
machine/motor.
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the
"Fdbk Typ = 4", and set the "Enc PPR" equal to the
ppr of
the machine/motor‐mounted incremental
encoder, and set the "Enc RPM" to the rpm of the
machine/motor at contract speed.
On the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Pls
Cnt" menu. While running the elevator on
inspection,
verify that the pulse count value
increments when running up and decrements
when running down. The
"Pls Cnt" value can be
considerably out of range but will automatically
correct during the "Learn
P a g e | 109
DC Quattro Drive
Hoistway" procedure.
To reverse the direction of pulse counting,
navigate, on the 1066 LCD interface, to
the "Adj
Var" menu, "Enc Dir" and set to "0" for clockwise
or "1" for counter‐clockwise.
Navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to the "Car
Spd" menu. Monitor the "Car Spd" while running
the car
at a known inspection speed. The value
displayed should match the actual car speed
measured with a
hand held tachometer. If not,
re‐check the values set in "Enc RPM" and "Enc
PPR" in the 1066 LCD
interface. If the speed is
correct, proceed to Section
6.26, Learn the Hoistway.
6.26 Learn the Hoistway
Run the elevator down on inspection until it
stops on the down normal limit switch. Verify
that the “DN
and DL” input LED’s are both off.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface navigate to the
"Elevator
Setup" menu, "Learn Hoistway". The
learn procedure can be performed automatically
by choosing
"Auto" from the menu items, or
performed manually by choosing "Insp" from the
menu items. After
choosing the learn method,
follow the instructions displayed on 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface.
In general, the car will run up from the "down
normal limit" to the "up normal limit" at 30 fpm.
During
this learn run, the DP count for each floor
level and each limit switch will be stored in
memory.
NOTE: The car must run the entire hoistway
without stopping.
As the elevator moves up the hoistway, navigate
to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "Disp/Mod
Hoistway
Table", and verify that the "DP" count is
incrementing as the elevator moves up. Also as
the elevator
passes each floor, the pulse count and distance for that floor should change and be
stored. Verify that
the floor distances are valid.
The pulse count for the terminal slowdowns will
also be stored. The
elevator will stop when it
reaches the up normal limit. Follow the
instructions on the 1021/1101/1005
LCD interface by putting
the car on inspection, and then the message
"Hoistway Learn Complete"
should be displayed.
Move the elevator on inspection until the “DZ
and DL” LED’s are on. Set the “INS” toggle switch
on
the 1064 board to the “NORMAL position,
and the elevator should level down to floor level
at the top
floor. If so, proceed to final
adjustment.
If the car levels down but does not run, then
check “Elevator Status” and “View Fault Log” on
the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface for any fault information.
Correct items causing faults and perform
hoistway learn again. After problem is corrected
and a successful hoistway learn is performed,
proceed
to final adjustment.
6.27 Automatic Run
The elevator should now be sitting idle at the top
floor. The "AUTO DOOR" switch should be set to
the
"OFF" position and the "IND" switch should
be set to the "IND" position. If the learn
procedure was
successful, the elevator should be
ready to make an automatic run.
The default parameter settings for the ride
quality should be adequate for an initial run.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface navigate to the "Set
Calls and Lockouts" menu, "Setup Car
Calls" and
enter a car call. The elevator should run to
answer the call. When the elevator levels in and
stops at the floor, the doors will remain closed.
The acceleration and deceleration of the car
should be smooth and stepless regardless of the
distance
of the run. If the elevator does not
function as described above, then the problem
should be analyzed
before proceeding.
6.28 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
In order to fine tune the ride quality, refer to
Figure 6.2 which describes what part of the S‐
curve
that the different parameters effect. In
general, higher numbers in the given parameters,
cause quicker
and more abrupt changes from one
mode to the next during a run. All of the S‐curve
parameters have a
minimum and maximum
value. The control will not allow you to enter
values that are not valid. After
adjusting the S‐
curve parameters, proceed to the next step.

6.29 Adjust the Stop
When at floor level the “UL, DL, & DZ” input LED’s
should be on. If the elevator continually tries to
seek
floor level by leveling up and down, check
the motor field voltage to be at the nameplate
voltage while
leveling. If the motor field voltage
is correct but the car seems sluggish then
increase the response of
the drive by increasing
the value of RESPONSE in the drive A1 submenu.
If the car still re‐levels at the
floor, try the
following steps to correct the problem:
1. Reduce the leveling and re‐leveling velocity
parameters from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion",
"Leveling Speed" and "Relevel Speed".
2. If the car still oscillates, adjust the "floor level zone" on the selector. The "floor level zone" is
increased by moving the "UL" and "DL" sensors
closer together.
If the car stops hard on the brake, then make the
following adjustments. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu, "Car Motion", and adjust both "Brake
Drop Del"
(brake drop delay) and "Soft Stop
Time". These variables should be adjusted so that
zero speed is
observed at the end of the run prior
to the brake setting. The controller should hold
the car at zero
speed for the duration of the "Soft
Stop Time" which should continue while the
brake is setting and for
a short time after the
brake sets. The soft stop time MUST be set to at
least 0.5 seconds LONGER than
the brake drop
delay.
The "Soft Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface should be compared with the setting
in
the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu,
"SoftStop". The setting of "SoftStop" in the 1066
LCD
interface should be greater than the "Soft
Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
If the car spots when approaching the floor, the
cause is usually due to the car not tracking (the
drive
response is set too low) or the speed profile
into the floor is too aggressive. First try to
increase the
response by increasing the value of
drive parameter A1 RESPONSE.
If the car still spots, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu,
"Car Motion" and increase the value of "Floor
Targ Dis" (floor targeting distance). The default
value for the floor targeting distance is 12 inches.
Increase it by steps of 2 or 3 and continue
retesting
until the parameter is adjusted to 18.
If no change is noticed, start again from 12 and
decrease the value.
The deceleration rate can also be reduced to help
remove the spotting. Once the proper stop is
achieved,
proceed to “Adjust The Start”.
6.30 Adjust the Start
To provide a proper start, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables"
menu, "Car Motion" and adjust "Brake Pick Del"
(brake pick delay), "Pattern Delay", and
"Soft
Start Jerk". Initially, set the brake pick delay to 0
and increase the pattern delay by 0.1 seconds
until the controller picks the brake completely
before the motor starts to move. If roll back
occurs, then
reduce the pattern delay until there
is no roll back. Sometimes, the timing works out
better if the brake
pick delay is set to 0.1 second.
If load weighing is used, pre‐torquing can be
used to provide a smoother
start. See Section
6.39, Adjust the Motor Pre‐torque.
Increase the soft start jerk rate in order to
provide a quicker transition from the start to
constant
acceleration. Keep in mind that the
larger the soft start number, the quicker the
start. The ride should
now be acceptable.
6.31 Verify Top Speed
To fine tune high speed, make high speed runs
while monitoring Elevator Data Submenu D1,
Speed
Feedback on the Quattro drive display. The
display should read contract speed.
If the speed is slightly under or over contract
speed then verify that Drive A1 Submenu,
Contract MTR
SPD is set properly. The speed
displayed on the drive should match the speed
displayed on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Elevator
Status" menu, "Dmd" and "Vel". This speed
should also match
the speed displayed on the
1066 LCD interface, "Car Spd" menu. When all of
these speeds are the same
(+/‐ 2 fpm), then
proceed to the next step. When the Quattro
display reads contract speed, proceed to
the next
step.
6.32 Adjust Safety Processor Board Speed
Clamps
The 1066 Safety Processor Board monitors the
speed of the elevator at the terminal landings
independently from the main CPU.
When the "UT, DT, UTS, and DTS" limit switches
are activated, the 1066 board calculates the
velocity of
the elevator and compares that
velocity with a stored value of speed clamp. If the
velocity when the
switch activates is greater than
the speed clamp value, then the 1066 board will
generate a fault that
stops the elevator.
To set the speed clamps, make a one floor run to
the top floor. After the car stops, record the
velocity
the car hit the “UT, DT, UTS & DTS” slowdown limits. “UTS & DTS” are used on car with reduced
P a g e | 113
DC Quattro Drive
stroke buffers or with a top speed
greater than 200 fpm. The velocity value is shown
from the “LIM VEL
menu on the 1066 LCD
interface.
The velocity value shown on the display for the
“UT or DT” limit is the value after the car activates
the
limit then counts an adjustable number of
counts set from the 1066 LCD interface, "Adj Var"
menu, "UT
Count" or "DT Count". These count
values can be adjusted to provide adequate
distance, following the
limit switch activation, to
allow the elevator to begin its normal decel pattern. The default "UT Count"
and "DT Count"
values are normally adequate. However, these
values may need to be field adjusted
to allow
enough distance for the car to begin its normal
decel pattern. If the "UT Count" and "DT Count"
values are modified, the limit velocities must be
re‐checked.
Run the car again to the top repeatedly from 2
floors, then 3 floors, etc., until top speed is
reached.
From the 1066 LCD interface "Lim Vel"
menu, record the limit velocities displayed each
time the car
stops at the top floor.
Make the same runs to the bottom floor starting
from 1 floor, then 2 floors, then 3 floors, etc.,
until
top speed is reached. From the 1066 LCD
interface "Lim Vel" menu, record the limit
velocities displayed
each time the car stops at the
bottom floor.
Take the highest speed value recorded in the runs
above and add 20 fpm to that value to use as the
clamp
speed values for the respective limit
switches. Enter these clamp speed values into the
1066 LCD
interface "Adj Var" menu, "UT Vel",
"DT Vel", "UTS Vel", "DTS Vel" respectively.
6.33 Adjust Digital Slowdown Speed Clamps
Having just made several runs into the top and
bottom landings, the main CPU has also recorded
the
car’s velocity when the slowdown limits were
activated. If the car has been powered down
prior to this
step, several runs must be made to
the terminal landings to allow the main CPU to
record the limit
velocity values.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Elevator Setup" menu, "Set DT/UT Slowdown
Clamp" and view the speed displayed for "Clamp
Speed". Add 20 fpm to this "Clamp Speed" value
and
enter it into the "DT/UT Limit" value.
The number of slowdown limits depends on the
speed of the car as shown in the table below.
Adjust speed clamps for each slowdown limits
used as determined by the elevator’s contract
speed.
The number of slowdown limits depends on the
speed of the car as show in the table below:
Table 6.1: Slowdown Clamps
6.34 Verify Inspection Velocity Clamp On Safety
Processor Board
Place the car on inspection operation. From the
1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var"
menu,
"Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp velocity
to 25 fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to 50 fpm.
Run the car in
either direction and verify that the
car shuts down when the speed rises above 25
fpm.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj
Var" menu, "Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp to
140
fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to the
desired value.
6.35 Analog Load Weigher Setup
If the job uses an analog load weigher purchased
from G.A.L., complete the following procedure.
NOTE: It is recommended using two people, one
moving the weights and one in the machine room
to set
up the load weigher.
Mount the load weigher as described by the
manufacturer. The load weigher control box will
also
contain a board supplied by G.A.L. that
connects to the controller serial CAN bus and
reads in the analog
output from the load
weighing device. Wire the load weigher and G.A.L. board according to the
controller
schematics.
Calibrate the load weighing device hardware
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Following
proper installation of the load weighing
device, proceed to Section 6.36, Empty Car
Setup.
P a g e | 115
DC Quattro Drive
6.36 Empty Car Setup
Verify that the load weighing device is
communicating to the main CPU by performing
the following
steps. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Diagnostics" menu, "Car Comm
Status",
"Car to LW Board" and verify that "On‐
line = 1". If "On‐line = 0" then verify wiring and
installation of
load weighing device.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher
Setup",
"Setup Load Weigher" and follow the instructions
on the display as you go through the
procedure.
It is okay to exit the setup screen to place a call and then return to it while the setup is being
performed.
Run the car to the bottom floor and press Enter
on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface when prompted
to do so to start the automatic setup sequence.
If the car is at the bottom floor and the doors are
not closed (the doors will not close automatically
from
turning off the auto‐door switch) then place
a car call to run the car up one floor, then back
again. The
doors will close when the call is placed.
When the automatic sequence is activated, the
car will run to each floor and measure the empty
load
value. The 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface will indicate
when the sequence if finished.
6.37 Full Car Setup
The empty car setup must be successfully
completed to run the full load setup.
Once the empty car setup is complete, run to the
loading floor and set the "AUTO DOOR" switch to
the
"ON" position to allow weights to be loaded
on the car. With the car fully loaded, set the
"AUTO DOOR"
switch to the "OFF" position and
run the car to the bottom floor. Again if the doors
are not closed, make
a one floor run to force the
doors to close.
With the car at the bottom floor, follow the LCD
interface instructions to press enter to start the
full
load setup sequence. The car will
automatically run to each floor and measure the
full load value. When
the full load measurement
is complete, the car can be run to the loading
floor and the weights
removed.
After the weights are removed, cycle the doors to
complete the procedure. From the 1021/1101/1005
LCD interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher Setup", "View/Modify LW Setup"
and verify the load weigher status, "LW Device
Stat: ON OK". If the status is "ON OK", then the
load
weigher should be accurately measuring the
car load in real time. The percent load will be
displayed,
"Load: %".
The percent load values for different service
options can now be set. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu, "Service Options", and set the following
variables:
"Load Bypass"
"Load Antinuisance"
"Load Dispatch"
"Load Overload"
NOTE: Setting the values of the variables above
to 0% will disable that particular option.
6.38 Load Weighing Calibration Sequence
The load weigher is automatically calibrated once
each week. If an error is detected during this
calibration sequence, the load weigher and the
pre‐torque feature (if used) is disabled.
A load weighing calibration sequence can be
manually activated by performing the following
procedure.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load
Weigher Setup",
"Load Weigher Calibration" and
follow the instructions on the display.
6.39 Adjust the Motor Pretorque
NOTE: The motor pre‐torque uses the load value
obtained from the analog load weigher and will
only
work if the load weigher has been installed
properly, and the "Load Weigher Setup" has been
performed
successfully.
On the Quattro drive under User Switches C1
parameter, set Pre‐Torque source to serial. Run
the empty
car to a middle floor. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD user interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and adjust the
following parameters:
"Balanced Load = 40" (typically car is 40%
counterbalanced, but verify counterbalance
P a g e | 117
DC Quattro Drive
percentage for each specific job)
"Torque Amount = 10"
"Pattern Delay = 2.5"
"Brake Pick Del = 0.1"
The long pattern delay will allow an exaggerated
amount of roll back in order for the pre‐torquing
to be
set accurately. Make a one floor run down
and observe the roll back when the brake picks at
the start of
the run. Increase the "Torque
Amount" variable and continue to monitor the
roll back while performing
one floor runs in the
down direction. As the "Torque Amount" is
increased, the roll back should be
minimized until
the car will hold zero speed for the entire
"Pattern Delay" time. A typical value for the
"Torque Amount" is 40%. If the value is too large,
the car will roll forward during the "Pattern
Delay"
time.
NOTE: The pattern delay must be at least 0.15
seconds (150 milliseconds). Setting the torque
amount
to 0.00 will disable the pre‐ torque
feature. Also if the load weighing calibration
sequence detects a load
weighing error, the pre‐
torque feature is also automatically disabled.
6.40 Verify the Doors Are Safe
The elevator should now be adjusted. Verify that
all door locks, gate switches, and safety circuits
are
operational. Set the "INS" switch to the
"NORM" position and set the "AUTO DOOR"
switch to the "ON"
position. The elevator should
level into the floor and open the doors. If the
doors do not open, check
the door operator
wiring and cam adjustment. If the doors do open,
the elevator is now on independent
service.
6.41 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
Ride the elevator and evaluate the ride quality.
Fine tune the ride quality by navigating to the
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and
adjusting the variables shown in Figure 6.2. Keep
in
mind that if acceleration or deceleration values
are changed, the speed clamps for the safety
processor
board and the S‐curve board may need
to be re‐adjusted.
To fine tune the floor level accuracy, determine if
the controller is set to stop when "UL" and "DL"
signals
turn on, or if controller is set to stop off of
the position count. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu,
"Car Motion" and view the "Stop On Pos Cnt" variable.
If “Stop On Pos Cnt= 0 then the controller is set to stop when the "UL and "DL"
signals turn on. If
"Stop On Pos Cnt = 1" then the
controller is set to stop on a combination of the
floor level magnet and
the position count.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 0", the floor levels
should be set by adjusting the floor level magnet
at each
floor. For proper operation, the floor
magnets should be set to exactly floor level. After
the floor levels
are set properly, perform another
hoistway learn procedure.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 1", the floor levels are
set by using both the floor magnet and the
position
count. For proper operation with this
setting, the floor magnet should be set to exactly
floor level. The
final stop can then be fine‐tuned
by performing the following adjustments.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Hoistway Tables" menu, "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel
Cnt" and adjust "Dn Lev Dist" and "Up Lev Dist".
The units for these variables are in "pulse
counts". With
"Stop On Pos Cnt =1" the car will continue to move for the "Dn Lev Dist" or "Up Lev
Dist" after "UL and
DL" turn on. Use the "Dn Lev
Dist" and the "Up Lev Dist" parameters to make
level changes at all floors.
To make level changes at individual floors,
perform the following adjustments. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Hoistway
Tables" menu, "FL and FL Offset Count", and
the
offset count can be adjusted. These variables
introduce an offset (+/‐) to the stored floor count
that
was determined in the hoistway learn
procedure.
NOTE: The number of pulse counts per inch can be viewed from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
"Hoistway Tables", "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel Cnt”,
"Pulses /Inch".
NOTE: Regardless if "Stop On Pos Cnt=0" or if "Stop On Pos Cnt =1", the floor magnet must be set
properly at floor level. If too large of values are entered into "Dn Lev Dist", "Up Lev Dist", or "Offset", the
car will drive past the floor level magnet and re‐level.
Check all signal devices for proper operation and remove all temporary jumpers. The adjustment should
now be complete.

7.15 Encoder Learn Procedure, v1.62 (Unroped
machine)
NOTE: This procedure is not required for geared traction using an induction motor.
If you are using v1.62 on the Combivert F5 drive,
the encoder position must be learned with the
ropes
removed from the machine. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and set the
"Inspect Speed = 0". Verify the motor wiring from
the drive
to the motor, U to U, V to V and W to W. Verify that drive parameter 2.LF.26 = “Conn”.
This parameter
indicates that serial
communication is established between the
encoder and the drive. If 2.LF.26 does
not display
“Conn”, check the encoder wiring and drive
settings LF.26, LF.27, LF.28, and LF.29. This
problem must be rectified before proceeding.
Once communication is established with the
encoder, set
LF.3 to “P Lrn” and press enter on
the drive operator keypad. The drive operator
keypad will display
“Start”. Press and hold the
"UP" or "DN" inspection button. The motor
sheave will begin to move back
and forth and the
drive display will display a numeric value. If the
sheave begins to move, but an E.EnC1
error
occurs on the drive, the drive will swap the
encoder channels in LF.28 automatically and then
display “retry”. Press and hold the "UP" or "DN"
inspection button again. If the sheave does not
move
and an E.EnC1 occurs, verify the brake is
picking and the sheave is able to move freely.
When
sheave is able to move freely, perform "P
Lrn" again. If this does not resolve the problem,
try swapping
output motor phases and try the "P
Lrn" procedure again. When the process is
complete the sheave will
stop rotating and the
drive will display “done and the "UP" or "DN"
inspection button can be released.
Make a note
of LF.77 value which is the learned encoder
position value. Return the "Inspect Speed" on
the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface to the previous setting, and
set the drive parameter LF.3 to "run".
Important: If the encoder is removed, absolute
position will need to be relearned!
7.16 Encoder Learn Procedure, v1.72 (Unroped
or Roped machine)
NOTE: This procedure is not required for geared traction using an induction motor.
If you are using v1.72 on the Combivert F5 drive
you can learn the encoder position with or
without the
ropes removed from the machine.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and
set the "Inspect Speed = 0". Verify the motor
wiring from the drive
to the motor, U to U, V to V
and W to W. Verify that drive parameter 2.LF.26
= “Conn”. This parameter indicates that serial
communication is established between the
encoder and
the drive. If 2.LF.26 does not display
“Conn”, check the encoder wiring and drive
settings LF.26, LF.27,
LF.28, and LF.29. This
problem must be rectified before proceeding.
Once communication is established
with the
encoder, set LF.3 to “SPI” and press enter on the
drive operator keypad. The drive operator
keypad will display “Start”. Press and hold the
"UP" or "DN" inspection button. The drive will
take ten
encoder position samples. When the
process is complete the drive keypad will display
“done” and the
“UP” or “DN” inspection button
can be released. Make a note of LF.77 value
which is the learned
encoder position value.
Return the "Inspect Speed" on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface to the
previous setting, and set the
drive parameter LF.3 to "run". After making a trial
run, if the current in
LF.93 is excessive, change the value in LF.28 from 0 to 1 or from 2 to 3 and
repeat the process.
Important: If the encoder is removed, absolute
position will need to be relearned!
7.17 Check Inspection Speed
If the ropes have been removed from the sheave,
adjust the following drive parameters to the
values
listed below prior to running on inspection
speed. If the ropes are on the sheave leave these
drive
parameters at the initial settings listed
below.
Change A.LF.31 from 3000 to 300
Change d.LF.31 from 3000 to 300
Change A.LF.32 from 350 to 50
Change d.LF.32 from 250 to 50
Change A.LF.33 from 3000 to 0
Change d.LF.33 from 1000 to 0
Make sure that on the drive parameter LF.3 is set
to “run”. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed = 25". Run
the
elevator on inspection, and verify that there
is zero current draw in LF.93. Press the “UP”
inspection
button and verify motor is rotating in
the up direction, and then press the “DOWN”
inspection button
and verify that the motor is
rotating in the down direction. If not, then
change LF.28 from 0 to 2 or
from 1 to 3 and re‐
verify direction. If LF.28 is changed, you must
relearn the encoder if using a PM AC
Gearless machine. With a hand held
tachometer, check the speed of the elevator
while running on
inspection. The elevator should
be running at 25 fpm.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, select the "Elevator
Status" menu; navigate until the display
shows
"Dmd" and "Vel". While running on inspection,
monitor the controller demand speed "Dmd",
and
the speed feedback "Vel". These values
should both display 25.
If the demand and feedback on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface is incorrect, check the Encoder
RPM and
PPR parameters from the “Adjustable Variables”
menu. These variables should be set to
values
listed in Section 7.9, 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface "Adjustable Variables -> Car Motion" Submenu.
If the speed on the hand held tachometer and on
"Dmd" and "Vel" all read 25 fpm (within +/‐ 2
fpm),
continue to the next step. If not, contact
the factory.
P a g e | 127
Combivert F5 AC Drive
7.18 Verify Controller Encoder Direction
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface "Elevator Status"
menu, navigate to display "Dir" and "DP".
While
moving the car on inspection, monitor "Dir"
(direction) and "DP" (pulse counts). "Dir" should
display "Up" when the car is moving up, and "Dn"
when the car is moving down. The value of "Dp"
should
increment when the car is moving up, and
should decrement when the car is moving down.
If the direction is wrong or the pulse counts
change in the wrong direction, then the encoder
direction
to the controller must be changed.
On the encoder isolation board (1022N), move J1
and J3 on the encoder board. Refer to the jumper
diagram on the board.
J1 swaps A & A NOT J3 swaps B & B NOT.
If the encoder is counting properly and the ropes
were removed from the sheave, then set
the
following drive parameters back to their
original settings.
A.LF.31 to 3000
d.LF.31 to 3000
A.LF.32 to 350
d.LF.32 to 250
A.LF.33 to 3000
d.LF.33 to 3000
Replace the ropes and proceed to Section 7.19, Run The Car On Inspection With The Ropes On The
Sheave Of The Motor.
If the encoder is counting properly, and the ropes were not removed, proceed to Section 7.19, Run The
Car On Inspection With The Ropes On The Sheave Of The Motor.
If the encoder is not counting properly, contact G.A.L. Technical Support.
7.19 Run The Car On Inspection With The Ropes On
The Sheave Of The Motor
7.20 Ready to Run On Inspection
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion”
and
verify that "Inspect Speed = 25". Before moving
the car on inspection, verify again that all door
locks, gate switches, safety circuits, and limit
switches are functioning properly.
The car should be ready to run on inspection if all
is wired correctly. Select the Elevator Status on
the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface. The display should show
“Out of Service” on the first line and
“Inspection Mode” on the second. The 1066 LCD interface
will display one of the following types of
inspection:
“MR INS” (Motor Room)
“CT INS” (Car Top)
“ACCESS” (Access)
“IC INS” (In Car)”
“AUTO” (Not on Inspection)
To run the car from the motor room, “MR INS”
should be displayed.
The “inspection string” consists of contacts from
the inspection switches and the gate and lock
bypass
switches in series. One and only one of the
five inspection inputs should be on for the car to
run. Starting
from the car top inspection input,
the five inspection inputs are, “INS” for car top,
“ACC” for access,
“ICI” for in‐ car, “MRI” for
motor room, and “AUTO” for automatic (no
inspection). The inspection string
circuit is shown
in Figure 7.1.
NOTE: Any one of the following conditions will
cause an inspection error:
More than one inspection input is on
No inspection input is on
Gate or Lock bypass switch is open and the car
is not on car top inspection
If the controller is not on motor room inspection
at this point, then verify all switch positions and
wiring
before proceeding.

Figure 7.1: Inspection String Circuit
7.21 Verify Selector and Slowdown Inputs
Run the elevator up on inspection until it stops on
the up normal limit. The up and down normal
limits
should be set two inches above and below
the terminal floors respectively. Verify the
selector inputs
are being set properly on the
controller by running the elevator down until it
stops on the down normal
limit.
As the car approaches floor level going down,
“DL” turns on first, then “DZ” and then finally
“UL”. At
floor level, “UL, DL, and DZ” inputs
should all be on at the same time. Leaving the
floor going down
“DL” will turn off first, then “DZ”
and last “UL”.
Also verify that the up and down terminal
slowdown limits inputs “UT, UTS, DT & DTS” are
breaking at
the proper distances as shown in the slowdown table 2.0. “UT, UTS, DT & DTS” turn off
when active.
7.22 Verify Car Speed on Safety Processor Board
Run the car in either direction and check the car
speed on the 1066 LCD interface. The speed
shown
should match the car’s actual speed. If the
speed does not match and the secondary
feedback comes
from pulses from the tape go to
“Correct Car Speed When Using A Tape”. If using
485 tapeless, go to
"Correct Car Speed When
Using 485 tapeless". If using CAN Open tapeless,
go to "Correct Car Speed
When Using CAN Open
tapeless". If the correct speed is shown proceed
to Section 7.26, Learn The
Hoistway.
7.23 Correct Car Speed When Using a Tape
The tape has holes every 3/8” that are 3/8” in
diameter. On the selector unit adjust the PP
sensor closer
to the tape until the orange LED at
the end of the sensor turns on. Then turn the
sensor inwards
another 1/8” and lock in the
sensor. While running on top of car inspection
verify that the orange
LED at the end of the PP
sensor turns on and off as it passes by the holes
on the tape. The safety
processor board on the
controller measures the time between each pulse
to calculate the velocity. If the
velocity is not
displayed correctly first make sure that the
feedback type in the safety processor board
adjustable variable is set to 0 for a tape
application. Next, while the car is running, make
sure that the
PULSE LED on this board is pulsing.
As the car increases in speed the LED will glow
solid on. If the LED
does not pulse, try swapping
the wires at the PPS and PP terminals. If the LED still does not work,
contact the factory. If the
correct speed is shown proceed to Section 7.26, Learn The Hoistway.
7.24 Correct Car Speed When Using 485
Tapeless System
When using the 485 tapeless system, the
secondary speed feedback comes from the
encoder mounted
on the governor. The 1066
board uses a serial interface to a Turck absolute
encoder, part #
T8.5882.3F0B.3001.
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the
"Fdbk Typ = 1", and set the "Enc PPR = 8192". The
"Enc
RPM" value must be calculated as described
below. To calculate the RPM, divide the contract
speed of
the car by the distance travel in one
revolution with the governor as shown below:
RPM = Speed fpm/(diameter GOV * pi)
For a 1 ft. diameter governor:
RPM = 350 / (1*pi) = 350/3.1415 = 111.4
P a g e | 131
Combivert F5 AC Drive
For a 16 in diameter governor (16/12 = 1.33ft):
RPM = 350/ (1.33* 3.1415) = 350/4.188 = 83.5
7.25 Correct Car Speed When Using CAN
Open Tapeless System
When using the CAN Open tapeless system, the
secondary speed feedback comes from KEB drive
parameter US.83 and is normally set to "1" which
is 2048 ppr (US.83 set to "0” is 1024 ppr).
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the
"Fdbk Typ = 4", and set the "Enc PPR" equal to the
ppr
from the KEB drive parameter US.83, and set
the "Enc RPM" to the nameplate rpm of the
machine/motor which should be the same value
of parameter LF.11 in the KEB drive.
On the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Pls
Cnt" menu. While running the elevator on
inspection,
verify that the pulse count value
increments when running up and decrements
when running down. The
"Pls Cnt" value can be
considerably out of range but will automatically
correct during the "Learn
Hoistway" procedure.
To reverse the direction of pulse counting,
navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to
the "Adj
Var" menu, "Enc Dir" and set to "0" for clockwise
or "1" for counter‐clockwise.
Navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to the "Car
Spd" menu. Monitor the "Car Spd" while running
the car
at a known inspection speed. The value
displayed should match the actual car speed
measured with a
hand held tachometer. If the
speed is correct, proceed to Section 7.26, Learn The Hoistway.
7.26 Learn the Hoistway
Run the elevator down on inspection until it stops
on the down normal limit switch. Verify that the
“DN
and DL” input LED’s are both off and that the
"UL" and "DZ" LED's are on. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu,
"Learn Hoistway". The learn procedure can be
performed automatically by choosing "Auto"
from the menu items, or performed manually by choosing
"Insp” from the menu items. After
choosing the learn method, follow the
instructions displayed on
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
In general, the car will run up from the "down
normal limit" to the "up normal limit" at 30 fpm.
During
this learn run, the DP count for each floor
level and each limit switch will be stored in
memory.
NOTE: The car must run the entire hoistway
without
stopping.
As the elevator moves up the hoistway, navigate
to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "Disp/Mod
Hoistway
Table", and verify that the "DP" count is
incrementing as the elevator moves up. Also as
the elevator
passes each floor, the pulse count
and distance for that floor should change and be
stored. Verify that
the floor distances are valid.
The pulse count for the terminal slowdowns will
also be stored. The
elevator will stop when it
reaches the up normal limit. Follow the
instructions on the 1021/1101/1005
LCD interface by putting
the car on inspection, and then the message
"Hoistway Learn Complete"
should be displayed.
Move the elevator on inspection until the “DZ
and DL” LED’s are on. Set the “INS” toggle switch
on
the 1064 board to the “NORMAL” position,
and the elevator should level down to floor level
at the top
floor. If so, proceed to final
adjustment.
If the car levels down but does not run, then
check “Elevator Status” and “View Fault Log” on
the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface for any fault information.
Correct items causing faults and perform
hoistway learn again. After problem is corrected, and a successful hoistway learn is performed,
proceed
to final adjustment.
7.27 Automatic Run
The elevator should now be sitting idle at the top
floor. The "AUTO DOOR" switch should be set to
the
"OFF" position and the "IND" switch should
be set to the "IND" position. If the learn
procedure was
successful, the elevator should be
ready to make an automatic run.
The default parameter settings for the ride
quality should be adequate for an initial run.
From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface navigate to the "Set
Calls and Lockouts" menu, "Setup Car Calls" and
enter a car call. The elevator should run to
answer the call. When the elevator levels in and
stops at the
floor, the doors will remain closed.
At this point the acceleration and deceleration of
the car should be smooth and stepless regardless
of the
distance of run.
The high speed of the car should be verified. To
fine tune high speed, make high speed runs while
monitoring parameter LF.90 on the drive. The
display should read contract speed.
If the speed is slightly under or over contract
speed, then verify that parameter LF.11 is set
properly. The
speed displayed on the drive
should match the speed displayed on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
"Elevator Status" menu, "Dmd"
and “Vel". This speed should also match the speed displayed on the
1066 LCD interface, "Car
Spd" menu. If LF.11 is changed, then go to the
1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, "Adjustable Variables" menu,
"Car Motion" and change the value of "Encoder
RPM" to match
the drive. When all of these
speeds are the same (+/‐ 2 fpm), then proceed to
the next step.

Combivert F5 AC Drive
7.28 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
NOTE: A.LF.xx' parameters refer to gains during
acceleration and also high speed.
In order to fine tune the ride quality, refer to
Figure 7.2 which describes what part of the S‐
curve
that the different parameters effect. In
general, higher numbers in the given parameters,
cause quicker
and more abrupt changes from one
mode to the next during a run. All of the S‐curve
parameters have a
minimum and maximum
value. The controller will not allow you to enter
values that are not valid.
In some instances, the response of the drive may
need to be adjusted so that the drive will properly
follow the S‐curve (demanded speed) from the
controller. The response of the drive can be
increased by
adjusting the gain parameters in the
drive. Preliminary adjustments can be made to
the following
parameters to increase the
response.
Proportional gains ‐ A.LF.31 and d.LF.31Integral
gains ‐ A.LF.32 and d.LF.32 Integral offset gains
A.LF.33
and d.LF.33 (offsets added to the integral
gains for more control at low speeds). The
complete
description of these parameters and
their effect on the control and ride quality can be found in the KEB
drive manual. In general, the "A"
parameters affect the acceleration gains and the
"d” parameters affect
deceleration gains. Lower
values make the drive less responsive, and higher
values make the drive more
responsive. As the
gains are increased, the drive will cause the
motor to follow the S‐curve more closely.
If these
values are increased too much, vibrations and
audible noise may occur in the motor.
After the car is running high speed with an
acceptable ride quality, it is recommended to
perform a
"System Inertia Learn" on the KEB
drive in order to provide optimum drive
performance. This procedure
is outlined in the
KEB manual. After this procedure is completed,
the "Feed Forward Torque Control”
FFTC will be
enabled in the drive. With the FFTC active, the
drive gains listed above can be reduced,
and the
drive will still follow the S‐curve from the
controller. This is helpful if the higher values of
the
gain parameters are causing vibration and
audible noise in the motor.
After performing the adjustments above the ride
quality during acceleration, high speed, and
deceleration should be good. If so, proceed to
Section 7.29, Adjust The Stop.
7.29 Adjust the Stop
When at floor level the “UL, DL, & DZ” input LEDs
should be on. If the elevator continually tries to
seek
floor level by leveling up and down, try the
following steps to correct the problem:
Reduce the leveling and re‐leveling v e l o c i t y parameters from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion",
"Leveling Speed" and "Relevel Speed".
If the car still oscillates, adjust the "floor level
zone" on the selector. The "floor level zone" is
increased by moving the "UL" and "DL" sensors
closer together.
If the car stops hard on the brake, then make the
following adjustments. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu, "Car Motion", and adjust both "Brake
Drop Del"
(brake drop delay) and "Soft Stop
Time". These variables should be adjusted so that
zero speed is
observed at the end of the run prior
to the brake setting. The controller should hold
the car at zero
speed for the duration of the "Soft
Stop Time" which should continue while the
brake is setting and for
a short time after the
brake sets.
The soft stop time MUST be set to at least 0.5
seconds LONGER than the brake drop delay.
The "Soft Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface should be compared with the setting
in
the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu,
"SoftStop". The setting of "SoftStop" in the 1066
LCD
interface should be greater than the "Soft
Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
If the car spots when approaching the floor, the
cause is usually due to the car not tracking (the
drive
response is set too low) or the speed profile
into the floor is too aggressive. First try to
increase the
response of the drive, see Section
7.28, Fine Tune The Ride Quality.
If the car still spots, increase the floor targeting distance and retest the ride. The default value for
the
floor targeting distance is 12 inches. Increase
it by steps of 2 or 3 and continue retesting until the
parameter is adjusted to 18. If no change is
noticed, start again from 12 and decrease the
value.
The deceleration rate can also be reduced to help
remove the spotting. Proceed with adjusting the
start
once the proper stop is achieved.
7.30 Adjust the Start
To provide a proper start, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables"
menu, "Car Motion" and adjust "Brake Pick Del"
(brake pick delay), "Pattern Delay", and
"Soft
Start Jerk". Initially, set the brake pick delay to 0
and increase the pattern delay by 0.1 seconds
until the controller picks the brake completely
before the motor starts to move. If roll back
occurs, then
reduce the pattern delay until there
is no roll back. Sometimes, the timing works out
better if the brake
pick delay is set to 0.1 second.
In order to provide a smooth start with no roll
back and without feeling the car move under the
brake, it may be necessary to utilize the motor
pre‐torque feature. There are two pre‐ torque
options.
P a g e | 135
Combivert F5 AC Drive
The first option is using a load‐ weighing
device described in Section 7.34, Analog Load Weigher Setup.
The second
option is using the KEB drive’s Synthetic Pre‐
Torque" feature. To enable the "Synthetic Pre‐
Torque" option, set LF.30 = 5 in the KEB drive.
During the "Synthetic Pre‐Torque" sequence, the
KEB drive introduces a high gain for a very short
time
period immediately after the brake picks
and clears the machine drum or rotor. In order for the feature
to work properly, with no noise or
vibration, the timing and the gain values have to
be coordinated with
a high degree of precision.
In the first phase of the sequence, the drive uses
a "hold off" timer, US.17, to allow the machine
brake
to release prior to the high gain being
introduced. US.17 should be set to expire at
exactly the time the
brake clears the drum or
rotor. A typical initial value of US.17 = 0.2 sec. If
this timer expires before the
brake releases,
audible noise and vibration from the motor will
occur. If this timer expires after the
brake
releases, the car will roll back before the high gain
is introduced by the drive. The brake pick delay
timer may also need to be adjusted from the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, by navigating to the
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and
adjusting "Brake Pick Del". In general, the value
of
US.17 will be greater than the value of "Brake
Pick Del".
In the second phase of the sequence, the drive
introduces the gain parameter, P.LF.32, after the
US.17
timer expires. The value of P.LF.32 should
be increased until the car is held at zero speed
when the
brake is released. Values as high as
20,000 are normal for parameter P.LF.32. If this
value is set too low,
the drive will not hold the
motor at zero speed when the brake releases. If
this value is set too high,
then audible noise and
vibration from the motor will occur. If audible
noise and vibration occur, it is
important to
determine if it is caused by P.LF.32 being set too
high, or if it is caused by US.17 expiring
before the
brake releases. Small increments (0.05 sec) to
US.17 can be made until roll back is
observed,
and then decreased again until there is no roll
back. By performing these small adjustments
in an iterative fashion, the correct setting
combination can be achieved.
Also during this second phase of the sequence, second timer, US.18, begins timing at the same point
that US.17 expires. The US.18 timer sets the duration that the P.LF.32 gain parameter is asserted. A
typical initial value for US.18 = 0.15 sec., but this value must be fine‐ tuned as well. As a general rule, the
value US.18 will be less than the value US.17 after the adjustment is complete. It is critical that the
pattern delay timer from the controller expires at exactly the same time that US.18 expires. To adjust
the pattern delay from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu,
"Car Motion" and adjust "Pattern Delay". If the "Pattern Delay" value is too short, then acceleration will
be demanded from the controller while the high gain is being asserted and vibration and noise from the
motor will occur. If the "Pattern Delay" is set too long, then roll back will occur after US.18 expires. In
general, the value of "Pattern Delay" will be greater than the sum of the values of US.17 and US.18.
Again, by performing small adjustments in the iterative fashion described above, the correct setting
combination can be achieved.
After the "Synthetic Pre‐Torque" is set properly, the car will start smoothly with no roll back and without
feeling the brake. The soft start jerk rate can now be increased to provide a quicker transition from start
to constant acceleration.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion"
and adjust the "Soft Start Jerk Rate”. The ride quality should now be acceptable.
Figure 7.2: Speed clamps
7.31 Adjust Safety Processor Board Speed Clamps
The 1066 Safety Processor Board monitors the speed of the elevator at the terminal landings
independently from the main CPU.
When the "UT, DT, UTS, and DTS" limit switches are activated, the 1066 board calculates the velocity of
the elevator and compares that velocity with a stored value of speed clamp. If the velocity when the
switch activates is greater than the speed clamp value, then the 1066 board will generate a fault that
stops the elevator.
To set the speed clamps, make a one floor run to the top floor.
After the car stops, record the velocity the car
hits the “UT, DT, UTS & DTS” slowdown limits.
“UTS
& DTS” are used on cars with reduced stroke
buffers or with a top speed greater than 200 fpm.
The
velocity value is shown from the “LIM VEL”
menu on the 1066 LCD interface.
P a g e | 137
Combivert F5 AC Drive
The velocity value shown on the display for the
“UT or DT” limit is the value after the car activates
the
limit then counts an adjustable number of
counts set from the 1066 LCD interface, "Adj Var"
menu,
"UT Count" or "DT Count". These count
values can be adjusted to provide adequate
distance,
following the limit switch activation, to
allow the elevator to begin its normal decel
pattern. The default
“UT Count" and "DT Count"
values are normally adequate. However, these
values may need to be field
adjusted to allow
enough distance for the car to begin its normal
decel pattern. If the "UT Count" and
"DT Count"
values are modified, the limit velocities must be
re‐checked.
Run the car again to the top repeatedly from 2
floors, then 3 floors, etc., until top speed is
reached.
From the 1066 LCD interface "Lim Vel"
menu, record the limit velocities displayed each
time the car
stops at the top floor. Make the
same runs to the bottom floor starting from 1
floor, then 2 floors,
then 3 floors, etc., until top
speed is reached. From the 1066 LCD interface
"Lim Vel" menu, record the
limit velocities
displayed each time the car stops at the bottom
floor. Take the highest speed value
recorded in
the runs above and add 20 fpm to that value to
use as the clamp speed values for the
respective
limit switches. Enter these clamp speed values
into the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu,
"UT Vel", "DT Vel", "UTS Vel", "DTS Vel" respectively.
7.32 Adjust Digital Slowdown Speed Clamps
Having just made several runs into the top and
bottom landings, the main CPU has also recorded
the
car’s velocity when the slowdown limits were
activated. If the car has been powered down
prior to this
step, several runs must be made to
the limits to allow the main CPU to record the
limit velocity
values.
From the main CPU LCD interface, choose
“Elevator Setup” and hit enter. Next choose
“DT/UT
Slowdown Clamp” and again hit enter.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Elevator Setup" menu, "Set DT/UT Slowdown
Clamp" and view the speed displayed for "Clamp
Speed". Add 20 fpm to this "Clamp Speed" value
and
enter it into the "DT/UT Limit" value.
The number of slowdown limits depends on the
speed of the car as show in the table below:
Table 7.1: Slowdown Clamps
Adjust speed clamps for each slowdown limits
used as determined by the elevator’s contract
speed.
7.33 Verify Inspection Velocity Clamp on Safety
Processor Board
Place the car on inspection operation. From the
1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var"
menu,
"Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp velocity
to 25 fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the “Inspect Speed" to 50 fpm.
Run the car in
either direction and verify that the
car shuts down when the speed rises above 25
fpm.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj
Var" menu, "Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp to
140
fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the Inspect Speed" to the
desired
value.
7.34 Analog Load Weigher Setup
If the job uses an analog load weigher purchased
from G.A.L., complete the following procedure.
NOTE: It is recommended using two people, one
moving the weights and one in the machine room
to set
up the load weigher.
Mount the load weigher as described by the
manufacturer. The load weigher control box will
also
contain a board supplied by G.A.L. that
connects to the controller serial CAN bus and
reads in the analog
output from the load
weighing device. Wire the load weigher and G.A.L. board according to the
controller
schematics.
Calibrate the load weighing device hardware
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Following
proper installation of the load weighing
device, proceed to Section 7.35, Empty Car
Setup.
7.35 Empty Car Setup
Verify that the load weighing device is
communicating to the main CPU by performing
the following
steps. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Diagnostics" menu, "Car Comm
Status",
"Car to LW Board" and verify that "On‐
line = 1". If "On‐line = 0" then verify wiring and
installation of
load weighing device.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher
Setup",
"Setup Load Weigher" and follow the instructions
on the display as you go through the
procedure.
It is okay to exit the setup screen to place a call and then return to it while the setup is being
performed.
P a g e | 139
Combivert F5 AC Drive
Run the car to the bottom floor and press Enter
on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface when prompted
to do
so to start the automatic setup sequence.
If the car is at the bottom floor and the doors are
not closed (the doors will not close automatically
from
turning off the auto‐door switch) then place
a car call to run the car up one floor, then back
again. The
doors will close when the call is placed.
When the automatic sequence is activated, the
car will run to each floor and measure the empty load
value. The 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface will indicate
when the sequence is finished.
7.36 Full Car Setup
The empty car setup must be successfully
completed to run the full load setup.
Once the empty car setup is complete, run to the
loading floor and set the "AUTO DOOR" switch to
the
"ON" position to allow weights to be loaded
on the car. With the car fully loaded, set the
"AUTO DOOR"
switch to the "OFF" position and
run the car to the bottom floor. Again if the doors
are not closed, make
a one floor run to force the
doors to close.
With the car at the bottom floor, follow the
instructions on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface to start
the full load setup sequence. The car will
automatically run to each floor and measure the
full load
value. When the full load measurement
is complete, the car can be run to the loading
floor and the
weights removed.
After the weights are removed, cycle the doors to
complete the procedure. From the 1021/1101/1005
LCD
interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu,
"Load Weigher Setup", "View/Modify LW Setup"
and verify the load weigher status, "LW Device
Stat: ON OK". If the status is "ON OK", then the
load
weigher should be accurately measuring the
car load in real time. The percent load will be
displayed,
"Load: _%".
The percent load values for different service
options can now be set. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu, "Service Options", and set the following
variables:
"Load Bypass"
"Load Antinuisance"
"Load Dispatch"
"Load Overload"
NOTE: Setting the values of the variables above
to 0% will disable that particular option.
7.37 Load Weighing Calibration Sequence
The load weigher is automatically calibrated once
each week. If an error is detected during this
calibration sequence, the load weigher and the
pre‐torque feature (if used) is disabled.
A load weighing calibration sequence can be
manually activated by performing the following
procedure.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load
Weigher Setup",
"Load Weigher Calibration" and
follow the instructions on the display.
7.38 Adjust the Motor Pre‐torque
NOTE: This section describes the adjustment
procedure if using the load value obtained from
the analog
load weigher to generate the proper
pre‐torque signal to the drive. This option will
only work if the
load weigher has been installed
properly, and the "Load Weigher Setup" has been performed
successfully.
If the option of "Synthetic Pre‐Torque" is used, see Section 7.30, Adjust The Start.
On the KEB drive, set parameter LF.30 = 3 to
enable the pre‐torque function from a load
weighing
device. Run the empty car to a middle
floor. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD user interface, navigate
to
the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and adjust the following parameters:
"Balanced Load = 40" (typically car is 40%
counterbalanced, but verify counterbalance
percentage for each specific job)
"Torque Amount = 10"
"Pattern Delay = 2.5"
"Brake Pick Del = 0.1"
The long pattern delay will allow an exaggerated
amount of roll back in order for the pre‐torquing
to be
set accurately. Make a one floor run down
and observe the roll back when the brake picks at
the start of
the run. Increase the "Torque
Amount" variable and continue to monitor the
roll back while performing
one floor runs in the
down direction. As the "Torque Amount" is
increased, the roll back should be
minimized until
the car will hold zero speed for the entire
"Pattern Delay" time. A typical value for the
"Torque Amount" is 40%. If the value is too large,
the car will roll forward during the "Pattern
Delay"
time.
P a g e | 141
Combivert F5 AC Drive
NOTE: The pattern delay must be at least 0.15
seconds (150 milliseconds). Setting the torque
amount
to 0.00 will disable the pre‐ torque
feature. Also if the load weighing calibration
sequence detects a load
weighing error, the pre‐
torque feature is also automatically disabled.
7.39 Verify the Doors Are Safe
The elevator should now be adjusted. Verify that
all door locks, gate switches, and safety circuits
are
operational. Set the "INS" switch to the
"NORM" position and set the "AUTO DOOR"
switch to the "ON"
position. The elevator should
level into the floor and open the doors. If the
doors do not open, check
the door operator
wiring and cam adjustment. If the doors do open,
the elevator is now on independent
service.
7.40 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
Ride the elevator and evaluate the ride quality.
Fine tune the ride quality by navigating to the
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and
adjusting the variables shown in Figure 7.2.
Keep in mind that if acceleration or deceleration
values are changed, the speed clamps for the
safety
processor board and the S‐curve board
may need to be re‐adjusted.
To fine tune the floor level accuracy, determine if
the controller is set to stop when "UL" and "DL"
signals
turn on, or if controller is set to stop off of
the position count. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu,
"Car Motion" and view the "Stop On Pos Cnt"
variable.
If "Stop On Pos Cnt= 0" then controller
is set to stop when the "UL and "DL" signals turn
on. If "Stop On
Pos Cnt = 1" then controller is set
to stop on a combination of the floor level magnet and the position
count.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 0", the floor levels
should be set by adjusting the floor level magnet
at each
floor. For proper operation, the floor
magnets should be set to exactly floor level. After
the floor levels
are set properly, perform another
hoistway learn procedure.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 1", the floor levels are
set by using both the floor magnet and the
position
count. For proper operation with this
setting, the floor magnet should be set to exactly
floor level. The
final stop can then be fine‐tuned
by performing the following adjustments.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Hoistway Tables" menu, "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel
Cnt" and adjust "Dn Lev Dist" and "Up Lev Dist".
The units for these variables are in "pulse
counts". With
"Stop On Pos Cnt =1" the car will continue to move for the "Dn Lev Dist" or "Up Lev
Dist" after "UL and
DL" turn on. Use the "Dn Lev
Dist" and the "Up Lev Dist" parameters to make
level changes at all floors.
To make level changes at individual floors,
perform the following adjustments. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Hoistway
Tables" menu, "FL and FL Offset Count", and
the
offset count can be adjusted. These variables
introduce an offset (+/‐) to the stored floor count
that
was determined in the hoistway learn
procedure.
NOTE: The number of pulse counts per inch can
be viewed from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
"Hoistway Tables", "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel Cnt”,
"Pulses /Inch".
NOTE: Regardless if "Stop On Pos Cnt=0" or if
"Stop On Pos Cnt =1", the floor magnet must be
set
properly at floor level. If too large of values
are entered into "Dn Lev Dist", "Up Lev Dist", or
"Offset",
the car will drive past the floor level
magnet and re‐level.
Check all signal devices for proper operation and
remove all temporary jumpers. The adjustment
should
now be complete.

to resolve any faults. If faults persist, contact G.A.L. Technical Support.
After the encoder angular offset is established, then navigate to the U12 menu - AUTOTUNE SEL and
change the parameter AUTOTUNE SELECT to ON RUN. Give the controller a command to run on
inspection up or down. The procedure should only take a few seconds. If the procedure is successful,
values for A5 parameters D AXIS INDUCTANCE, Q AXIX INDUCTANCE & STATOR RESISTANCE are learned
and saved automatically.
After the encoder learn and the motor learn procedures are complete, reconnect the brake coil wire and
return the inspection speed parameter to 25 fpm.
8.16 Check Inspection Speed
With a hand held tachometer, check the speed of
the elevator while running on inspection. The
elevator
should be running at 25 fpm. Also
monitor the speed on the drive digital operator
D1 submenu, SPEED
FEEDBACK, and verify that it
displays 25 fpm while running on inspection.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, select the "Elevator
Status" menu; navigate until the display
shows
"Dmd" and "Vel". While running on inspection,
monitor the controller demand speed "Dmd",
and
the speed feedback "Vel". These values
should both display 25. If the demand and
feedback on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface is incorrect,
check the Encoder RPM and PPR parameters
from the
“Adjustable Variables” menu.
If the speed on the hand held tachometer and on
"Dmd" and "Vel" all read 25 fpm (within +/‐ 2
fpm),
continue to the next step. If not, contact
the factory.
8.17 Verify Controller Encoder Direction
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface "Elevator Status"
menu, navigate to display "Dir" and "DP".
While
moving the car on inspection, monitor "Dir"
(direction) and "DP" (pulse counts). "Dir" should
display "Up" when the car is moving up, and "Dn"
when the car is moving down. The value of "Dp"
should
increment when the car is moving up, and
should decrement when the car is moving down.
If the direction is wrong or the pulse counts change in the wrong direction, then the encoder
direction
to the controller must be changed.
On the encoder isolation board (1022N), move J1
and J3 on the encoder board. Refer to the jumper
diagram on the board.
J1 swaps A & A NOT J3 swaps B & B NOT.
If the encoder is counting properly then place the
ropes on the sheave of the motor and continue
to the
next step. If not, contact G.A.L. Technical
Support.
8.18 Ready to Run On Inspection
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion”
and
verify that "Inspect Speed = 25". Before moving
the car on inspection, verify again that all door
locks, gate switches, safety circuits, and limit
switches are functioning properly.
The car should be ready to run on inspection if all
is wired correctly. Select the Elevator Status on
the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface. The display should show
“Out of Service” on the first line and
“Inspection

will display one of the following types of
inspection:
“MR INS” (Motor Room) “CT INS”
(Car
Top) “ACCESS” (Access)
“IC INS” (In Car)”
“AUTO” (Not on Inspection)
To run the car from the motor room, “MR INS” should be displayed.
The “inspection string” consists of contacts from the inspection switches and the gate and lock bypass
switches in series. One and only one of the five inspection inputs should be on for the car to run.
Starting from the car top inspection input, the five inspection inputs are, “INS” for car top, “ACC” for
access, “ICI” for in‐ car, “MRI” for motor room, and AUTO” for automatic (no inspection). The
inspection string circuit is shown in Figure 8.1
Note that any one of the following conditions will cause an inspection error:
More than one inspection input is on
No inspection input is on
Gate or Lock bypass switch is open and the car is not on car top inspection

the up normal limit. The up and down normal
limits
should be set two inches above and below
the terminal floors respectively. Verify the
selector inputs
are being set properly on the
controller by running the elevator down until it
stops on the down normal
limit.
As the car approaches floor level going down,
“DL” turns on first, then “DZ” and then finally
“UL”. At floor level, “UL, DL, and DZ” inputs
should all be on at the same time. Leaving the
floor going
down “DL” will turn off first, then “DZ”
and last “UL”.
Also verify that the up and down terminal
slowdown limits inputsUT, UTS, DT & DTS” are
breaking at
the proper distances as shown in the
slowdown table 2.0. “UT, UTS, DT & DTS” turn off
when active.
8.20 Verify Car Speed on Safety Processor Board
Run the car in either direction or check the car
speed on the 1066 LCD interface. The speed
shown
should match the car’s actual speed. If the
speed does not match and the secondary
feedback comes
from pulses from the tape go to
“Correct Car Speed When Using A Tape”. If using
485 tapeless, go to
"Correct Car Speed When
Using 485 tapeless". If using CAN Open tapeless,
go to "Correct Car Speed
When Using CAN Open
tapeless". If the correct speed is shown proceed
to Section 8.24, Learn The
Hoistway.
8.21 Correct Car Speed When Using a Tape
The tape has holes every 3/8” that are 3/8” in
diameter. On the selector unit adjust the PP
sensor closer
to the tape until the orange LED at
the end of the sensor turns on. Then turn the
sensor inwards
another 1/8” and lock in the
sensor. While running on top of car inspection
verify that the orange
LED at the end of the PP
sensor turns on and off as it passes by the holes
on the tape. The safety
processor board on the
controller measures the time between each pulse
to calculate the velocity. If the
velocity is not
displayed correctly first make sure that the
feedback type in the safety processor board
adjustable variable is set to 0 for a tape
application. Next, while the car is running, make
sure that the
PULSE LED on this board is pulsing.
As the car increases in speed the LED will glow
solid on. If the LED
does not pulse, try swapping
the wires at the PPS and PP terminals. If the LED
still does not work,
contact the factory. If the
correct speed is shown proceed to “Learn the
Hoistway”.
8.22 Correct Car Speed When Using 485
Tapeless System
When using the 485 tapeless system, the
secondary speed feedback comes from the
encoder mounted
on the governor. The 1066
board uses a serial interface to a Turck absolute
encoder, part #
T8.5882.3F0B.3001.
P a g e | 153
HPV-900 PM AC Gearless
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the
"Fdbk Typ = 1", and set the "Enc PPR = 8192". The
"Enc
RPM" value must be calculated as described
below. To calculate the RPM, divide the contract
speed of
the car by the distance travel in one
revolution with the governor as shown below:
RPM = Speed fpm/ (diameter GOV * pi)
For a 1 ft. diameter governor: RPM = 350/ (1*pi) = 350/3.1415 = 111.4
For a 16 in diameter governor (16/12 = 1.33ft):
RPM = 350/ (1.33* 3.1415) = 350/4.188 = 83.5
8.23 Correct Car Speed When Using CAN
Open Tapeless System
When using the CAN Open tapeless system, the
secondary speed feedback comes from the HPV
900/600 drive and should be set to 8 times the
ppr of the motor encoder.
In the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, set the
"Fdbk Typ = 4", and set the "Enc PPR" equal to 8
times
the ppr from the motor encoder.
On the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Pls
Cnt" menu. While running the elevator on
inspection,
verify that the pulse count value increments when running up and decrements
when running down.
The "Pls Cnt" value can be
considerably out of range but will automatically
correct during the "Learn
Hoistway" procedure.
To reverse the direction of pulse counting,
navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to
the "Adj
Var" menu, "Enc Dir" and set to "0" for clockwise
or "1" for counter‐clockwise.
Navigate on the 1066 LCD interface to the "Car
Spd" menu. Monitor the "Car Spd" while running
the car
at a known inspection speed. The value
displayed should match the actual car speed
measured with a
hand held tachometer. If the
speed is correct, proceed to Section 8.24, Learn The Hoistway.
8.24 Learn the Hoistway
Run the elevator down on inspection until it stops
on the down normal limit switch. Verify that the
“DN
and DL” input LED’s are both off and that the
"UL" and "DZ" LED's are on. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu,
"Learn Hoistway". The learn procedure can be
performed automatically by choosing "Auto"
from the menu items, or performed manually by
choosing
"Insp” from the menu items. After
choosing the learn method, follow the
instructions displayed on
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
In general, the car will run up from the "down
normal limit" to the "up normal limit" at 30 fpm.
During
this learn run, the DP count for each floor
level and each limit switch will be stored in
memory.
NOTE: The car must run the entire hoistway
without stopping.
As the elevator moves up the hoistway, navigate to the "Hoistway Tables" menu, "Disp/Mod
Hoistway
Table", and verify that the "DP" count is
incrementing as the elevator moves up. Also as
the elevator
passes each floor, the pulse count
and distance for that floor should change and be
stored. Verify that
the floor distances are valid.
The pulse count for the terminal slowdowns will
also be stored. The
elevator will stop when it
reaches the up normal limit. Follow the
instructions on the 1021/1101/1005
LCD interface by putting
the car on inspection, and then the message
"Hoistway Learn Complete"
should be displayed.
Move the elevator on inspection until the “DZ
and DL” LED’s are on. Set the "INS" toggle switch
on
the 1064 board to the "NORMAL" position,
and the elevator should level down to floor level
at the top
floor. If so, proceed to final
adjustment.
If the car levels down but does not run, then
check “Elevator Status” and “View Fault Log” on
the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface for any fault information.
Correct items causing faults and perform
hoistway learn again. After problem is corrected,
proceed to final adjustment.
8.25 Automatic Run
The elevator should now be sitting idle at the top
floor. The "AUTO DOOR" switch should be set to
the
"OFF" position and the "IND" switch should
be set to the "IND" position. If the learn
procedure was
successful, the elevator should be
ready to make an automatic run.
The default parameter settings for the ride
quality should be adequate for an initial run.
From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface navigate to the "Set Calls and Lockouts" menu, "Setup Car Calls" and
enter a car call. The elevator should run to answer the call. When the elevator levels in and stops at the
floor, the doors will remain closed.
The acceleration and deceleration of the car should be smooth and stepless regardless of the distance of
the run. If the elevator does not function as described above, then problem should be analyzed before
proceeding.
8.26 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
In order to fine tune the ride quality, refer to Figure 8.2 which describes what part of the S‐ curve that
the different parameters effect. In general, higher numbers in the given parameters, cause quicker and
more abrupt changes from one mode to the next during a run. All of the S‐curve parameters have a
minimum and maximum value. The control will not allow you to enter values that are not valid.
After adjusting the S‐curve parameters for the desired ride, proceed to the next step.

8.27 Adjust the Stop
When at floor level the “UL, DL, & DZ” input LED’s should be on. If the elevator continually tries to seek
floor level by leveling up and down, try the following steps to correct the problem:
Increase the response of the drive by increasing the value of A1 RESPONSE in the HPV 900/600 drive,
and retesting the car.
Reduce the leveling and re‐leveling velocity parameters from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface
"Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car Motion",
"Leveling Speed" and "Relevel Speed".
If the car still
oscillates, adjust the "floor level
zone" on the selector. The "floor level zone" is
increased by moving
the "UL" and "DL" sensors
closer together.
If the car stops hard on the brake, then make the
following adjustments. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu, "Car Motion", and adjust both "Brake
Drop Del"
(brake drop delay) and "Soft Stop
Time". These variables should be adjusted so that
zero speed is
observed at the end of the run prior
to the brake setting. The controller should hold
the car at zero
speed for the duration of the "Soft
Stop Time" which should continue while the
brake is setting and for
a short time after the
brake sets. The soft stop time MUST be set to at
least 0.5 seconds LONGER than
the "Brake Drop
Del".
The "Soft Stop Time" setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface should be compared with the setting
in
the 1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu,
"SoftStop". The setting of "SoftStop" in the 1066
LCD
interface should be greater than the "Soft
Stop Time” setting in the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface.
If the car spots when approaching the floor, the
cause is usually due to the car not tracking (the
drive
response is set too low) or the speed profile
into the floor is too aggressive. First try to
increase the
response of the drive by increasing
the value of parameter A1 RESPONSE in the drive.
If the car still spots, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu,
"Car Motion" and increase the value of "Floor
Targ Dis" (floor targeting distance). The default
value for the floor targeting distance is 12 inches.
Increase it by steps of 2 or 3 and continue
retesting until the parameter is adjusted to 18. If
no change is
noticed, start again from 12 and
decrease
the value.
The deceleration rate can also be reduced to help
remove the spotting. Proceed with adjusting the
start once the proper stop is achieved.
8.28 Adjust the Start
To provide a proper start, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables"
menu, "Car Motion" and adjust "Brake Pick Del"
(brake pick delay), "Pattern Delay", and
"Soft
Start Jerk". Initially, set the brake pick delay to 0
and increase the pattern delay by 0.1 seconds
until the controller picks the brake completely
before the motor starts to move. If roll back
occurs, then
reduce the pattern delay until there
is no roll back. Sometimes, the timing works out
better if the brake
pick delay is set to 0.1 second.
If load weighing is used, pre‐torquing can be used
to provide a smoother
start. See Section 8.37, Adjust the Motor Pre‐torque.
Increase the soft start jerk rate in order to
provide a quicker transition from the start to
constant
acceleration. Keep in mind that the
larger the soft start number, the quicker the
start. The ride should
now be acceptable.
8.29 Verify Top Speed
To fine tune high speed, make high speed runs
while monitoring the SPEED FEEDBACK on the
HPV drive
display. The display should read
contract speed, and it should match the speed
displayed on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Elevator
Status" menu, "Dmd" and "Vel". This speed
should also match
the speed displayed on the
1066 LCD interface, "Car Spd" menu. If all of these
values are the same (+/‐ 2
fpm), then proceed to the next step. If the speed is not correct increase
or decrease drive parameter A1
CONTARCT MTR
SPD until the AC drive display reads contract
speed, If A1 CONTRACT MTR SPD is
changed, then
go to the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and
change the
value of "Encoder RPM" to match the drive.
When the speed displayed is correct, proceed
to
the next step.

HPV-900 PM AC Gearless
8.30 Adjust Safety Processor Board Speed
Clamps
The 1066 Safety Processor Board monitors the
speed of the elevator at the terminal landings
independently from the main CPU. When the
"UT, DT, UTS, and DTS" limit switches are
activated, the
1066 board calculates the velocity
of the elevator and compares that velocity with a
stored value of
speed clamp. If the velocity when
the switch activates is greater than the speed
clamp value, then the
1066 board will generate a
fault that stops the elevator.
To set the speed clamps, make a one floor run to
the top floor.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Lim Vel" menu, and view the recorded velocities
displayed
for the “UT, DT, UTS & DTS” slowdown
limits. “UTS & DTS” are used on car with reduced
stroke buffers
or with a top speed greater than
200 fpm. The velocity value is shown from the
“Lim Vel” menu on
the 1066 LCD interface.
The velocity value shown on the display for the
“UT or DT” limit is the value after the car activates
the
limit then counts an adjustable number of
counts set from the 1066 LCD interface, "Adj Var"
menu, "UT
Count" or "DT Count". These count values can be adjusted to provide adequate
distance, following the
limit switch activation, to
allow the elevator to begin its normal decel pattern. The default “UT Count"
and "DT Count"
values are normally adequate. However, these
values may need to be field adjusted
to allow
enough distance for the car to begin its normal
decel pattern. If the "UT Count" and "DT Count"
values are modified, the limit velocities must be
re‐checked.
Run the car again to the top repeatedly from 2
floors, then 3 floors, etc., until top speed is
reached.
From the 1066 LCD interface "Lim Vel"
menu, record the limit velocities displayed each
time the car
stops at the top floor.
Make the same runs to the bottom floor starting
from 1 floor, then 2 floors, then 3 floors, etc.,
until
top speed is reached. From the 1066 LCD
interface "Lim Vel" menu, record the limit
velocities displayed
each time the car stops at the
bottom floor.
Take the highest speed value recorded in the runs
above and add 20 fpm to that value to use as the
clamp
speed values for the respective limit
switches. Enter these clamp speed values into the
1066 LCD
interface "Adj Var" menu, "UT Vel",
"DT Vel", "UTS Vel", "DTS Vel" respectively.
8.31 Adjust Digital Slowdown Speed Clamps
Having just made several runs into the top and
bottom landings, the main CPU has also recorded
the
car’s velocity when the slowdown limits were
activated. If the car has been powered down
prior to this
step, several runs must be made to the terminal landings to allow the main CPU to
record the limit
velocity values.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Elevator Setup" menu, "Set DT/UT Slowdown
Clamp" and view the speed displayed for "Clamp
Speed". Add 20 fpm to this "Clamp Speed" value
and
enter it into the “DT/UT Limit"
The number of slowdown limits depends on the
speed of the car as show in the table below:
Adjust
speed clamps for each slowdown limits
used as determined by the elevator’s contract
speed.
Table 8.1: Slowdown Clamps
8.32 Verify Inspection Velocity Clamp On Safety
Processor Board
Place the car on inspection operation. From the
1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var"
menu,
"Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp velocity
to 25 fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the "Inspect Speed" to 50 fpm.
Run the car in
either direction and verify that the
car shuts down when the speed rises above 25
fpm.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the "Adj Var" menu, "Ins Vel" and set the speed clamp to
140
fpm. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate
to the "Adjustable Variables" menu, "Car
Motion" and set the Inspect Speed" to the
desired value.
8.33 Analog Load Weigher Setup
If the job uses an analog load weigher purchased
from G.A.L., complete the following procedure.
NOTE: It is recommended using two people, one
moving the weights and one in the machine room
to set
up the load weigher.
Mount the load weigher as described by the
manufacturer. The load weigher control box will
also
contain a board supplied by G.A.L. that
connects to the controller serial CAN bus and
reads in the analog
output from the load
weighing device. Wire the load weigher and G.A.L. board according to the
controller
schematics.
Calibrate the load weighing device hardware
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Following
proper installation of the load weighing
device, and proceed to Section 8.34, Empty Car
Setup.
P a g e | 159
HPV-900 PM AC Gearless
8.34 Empty Car Setup
Verify that the load weighing device is
communicating to the main CPU by performing
the following
steps. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Diagnostics" menu, "Car Comm
Status",
"Car to LW Board" and verify that "On‐
line = 1". If "On‐line = 0" then verify wiring and
installation of
load weighing device.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Elevator Setup" menu, "Load Weigher
Setup",
"Setup Load Weigher" and follow the instructions
on the display as you go through the
procedure.
It is okay to exit the setup screen to place a call and then return to it while the setup is being
performed.
Run the car to the bottom floor and press Enter
on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface when prompted
to do
so to start the automatic setup sequence.
If the car is at the bottom floor and the doors are
not closed (the doors will not close automatically
from
turning off the auto‐door switch) then place
a car call to run the car up one floor then back
again. The
doors will close when the call is placed.
When the automatic sequence is activated, the
car will run to each floor and measure the empty
load
value. The 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface will indicate
when the sequence if finished.
8.35 Full Car Setup
NOTE: The empty car setup must be successfully
completed to run the full load setup.
Once the empty car setup is complete, run to the
loading floor and set the "AUTO DOOR" switch to
the
"ON" position to allow weights to be loaded
on the car. With the car fully loaded, test the
"AUTO
DOOR" switch to the "OFF" position and
run the car to the bottom floor. Again if the doors
are not
closed, make a one floor run to force the
doors to close.
With the car at the bottom floor, follow the
instructions on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface to start
the full load setup sequence. The car will
automatically run to each floor and measure the
full load
value. When the full load measurement
is complete, the car can be run to the loading
floor and the
weights removed.
After the weights are removed, cycle the doors to
complete the procedure. From the 1021/1101/1005
LCD
interface, navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu,
"Load Weigher Setup", "View/Modify LW Setup"
and verify the load weigher status, "LW Device
Stat: ON OK". If the status is "ON OK", then the
load
weigher should be accurately measuring the
car load in real time. The percent load will be
displayed,
"Load: _%".
The percent load values for different service
options can now be set. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface, navigate to the "Adjustable Variables"
menu, "Service Options", and set the following
variables:
"Load Bypass"
"Load Antinuisance"
"Load Dispatch"
"Load Overload"
NOTE: Setting the values of the variables above
to 0% will disable that particular option.
8.36 Load Weighing Calibration Sequence
The load weigher is automatically calibrated once
each week. If an error is detected during this
calibration sequence, the load weigher and the
pre‐torque feature (if used) is disabled.
A load weighing calibration sequence can be
manually activated by performing the following
procedure.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Elevator Setup" menu, "Load
Weigher Setup",
"Load Weigher Calibration" and
follow the instructions on the display.
8.37 Adjust the Motor Pretorque
NOTE: The motor pre‐torque uses the load value
obtained from the analog load weigher and will
work
only if the load weigher is installed and
successfully setup.
On the HPV‐900 PM drive under User Switches C1
parameter, set Pre‐Torque source to serial. Run
the
empty car to a middle floor. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD user interface, navigate to the "Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and adjust the
following parameters:
"Balanced Load = 40" (typically car is 40%
counterbalanced, but verify counterbalance
percentage for each specific job)
"Torque Amount = 10"
"Pattern Delay = 2.5"
"Brake Pick Del = 0.1"
The long pattern delay will allow an exaggerated
amount of roll back in order for the pre‐torquing
to be
set accurately. Make a one floor run down
and observe the roll back when the brake picks at
the start of
the run. Increase the "Torque
Amount" variable and continue to monitor the
roll back while performing
P a g e | 161
HPV-900 PM AC Gearless
one floor runs in the
down direction. As the "Torque Amount" is
increased, the roll back should be
minimized until
the car will hold zero speed for the entire "Pattern Delay" time. A typical value for the
"Torque Amount" is 40%. If the value is too large,
the car will roll forward during the "Pattern
Delay"
time.
Note: The pattern delay must be at least 0.15
seconds (150 milliseconds). Setting the torque
amount to
0.00 will disable the pre‐torque
feature. Also if the load weighing calibration
sequence detects a load
weighing error, the pre‐
torque feature is also automatically disabled.
8.38 Verify the Doors Are Safe
The elevator should now be adjusted. Verify that
all door locks, gate switches, and safety circuits
are
operational. Set the "INS" switch to the
"NORM" position and set the "AUTO DOOR"
switch to the "ON"
position. The elevator should
level into the floor and open the doors. If the
doors do not open, check
the door operator
wiring and cam adjustment. If the doors do open,
the elevator is now on independent
service.
8.39 Fine Tune the Ride Quality
Ride the elevator and evaluate the ride quality.
Fine tune ride quality by navigating to the
"Adjustable
Variables" menu, "Car Motion" and
adjusting the variables shown in Figure 4.2. Keep
in mind that if
acceleration or deceleration values
are changed, the speed clamps for the safety
processor board and
the S‐curve board may need
to be re‐adjusted.
To fine tune the floor level accuracy, determine if
the controller is set to stop when "UL" and "DL"
signals
turn on, or if controller is set to stop off of
the position count. From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate to the "Adjustable Variables" menu,
"Car Motion" and view the "Stop On Pos Cnt"
variable.
If "Stop On Pos Cnt= 0" then controller
is set to stop when the "UL and "DL" signals turn
on. If "Stop On
Pos Cnt = 1" then controller is set
to stop on a combination of the floor level
magnet and the position
count.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 0", the floor levels
should be set by adjusting the floor level magnet
at each
floor. For proper operation, the floor
magnets should be set to exactly floor level. After
the floor levels
are set properly, perform another
hoistway learn procedure.
With "Stop On Pos Cnt = 1", the floor levels are
set by using both the floor magnet and the
position
count. For proper operation with this
setting, the floor magnet should be set to exactly
floor level. The
final stop can then be fine‐tuned
by performing the following adjustments.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Hoistway Tables" menu, "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel
Cnt" and adjust "Dn Lev Dist" and "Up Lev Dist".
The units for these variables are in "pulse
counts". With
"Stop On Pos Cnt =1" the car will continue to move for the "Dn Lev Dist" or "Up Lev
Dist" after "UL and
DL" turn on. Use the "Dn Lev
Dist" and the "Up Lev Dist" parameters to make
level changes at all floors.
To make level changes at individual floors,
perform the following adjustments. From the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the "Hoistway
Tables" menu, "FL and FL Offset Count", and
the
offset count can be adjusted. These variables
introduce an offset (+/‐) to the stored floor count
that
was determined in the hoistway learn
procedure.
NOTE: The number of pulse counts per inch can be viewed from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
"Hoistway Tables", "DZ & LZ Offset, Sel Cnt”, "Pulses /Inch".
NOTE: Regardless if "Stop On Pos Cnt=0" or if
"Stop On Pos Cnt =1", the floor magnet must be
set
properly at floor level. If too large of values
are entered into "Dn Lev Dist", "Up Lev Dist", or
"Offset",
the car will drive past the floor level
magnet and re‐level.
Check all signal devices for proper operation and
remove all temporary jumpers. The adjustment
should
now be complete.

Section 9 - Troubleshooting
Section 9 ‐ Troubleshooting
9.1 General Information
The GALaxy controller is equipped with a number
of features that aid in troubleshooting any
problems
that may occur. The physical layout of
the controller provides ready access to all I/O in
order to make
voltage measurements. All inputs
have LED’s that monitor the state of the input.
The controller is
equipped with the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface for the Main CPU and the 1066 LCD
interface for the
Safety Processor Board. Section
10 describes the use of the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
and Section
13 describes the use of the 1066 LCD
interface. In this section the basic points of
troubleshooting will be
detailed.
9.2 Microprocessor CPU
The CPU is very reliable and normally trouble
free. With power turned on, the “axy” in GALaxy
on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface should be blinking at
one second intervals to indicate that the CPU is
running. If it is not blinking, then check voltage at
the 5V terminal with respect to the 0V terminal on the
1064 board. This voltage should read
5VDC. If not, then check the input and output
voltage of the DC
power supply. If the “axy” is not
blinking and 5VDC is present at the 5V terminal
with respect to the 0V
terminal, then contact the
factory.
All job parameters that are field adjustable are
stored in a non‐volatile SRAM chip on the GALX-1036
memory (older)
board, or GALX-1100AN (newer) CPU board. If the field adjustable parameters return
to
the default settings when the main power is
turned off, check that the J1 (Pin Devices) jumper on the
1036 board is set to 28 pin and the J2
(VDROP) jumper on the 1036 board is on. Both
jumpers are
located on the lower right hand
corner of the 1036 board, the GALX-1100 CPU board does not have this
option.
9.3 Input/Output Boards
The two main sections of all the I/O boards are
the low voltage and the high voltage sections.
The
low voltage section consists of all the digital interfacing necessary for the CPU to
communicate with the
field components. The
high voltage section consists of the field
components (buttons, switches, lights,
relays and
sensors) and their associated input and output
signals. The standard voltage for all I/O is
120VAC. However, if necessary, the I/O boards
can accept a voltage range from 24V to 120V AC
and 24V
DC. The GALX-1064AN main board only accepts 120V AC. See Figure 9.0.
Figure 9.0 - High Voltage & Low Voltage
It is very important that the wiring schematics are
reviewed in order to determine the voltages for
which
the controller was designed before
applying power. The majority of problems that
may arise with the
control system are due to
faulty inputs or outputs on the high voltage side
of the system. For example,
having a limit switch
not feeding or an acknowledgment light out. The
GALaxy control system is designed
to enable the
technician to check both the high voltage section
and the low voltage section to correct
the
problem. The high voltage section is checked with
a digital voltmeter or with the individual LEDs
that
are associated with each input. Depending
on the particular input or output, the voltage
measured at
the terminal will either be “high” or
“low” with respect to its reference point. For
example, to determine
whether or not the up
terminal slowdown limit switch was feeding, the voltage should be measured at
terminal “UT”
with respect to “GND”. Another means by which to determine
whether the switch is
feeding is to view the “UT
input LED. If the LED is on, the switch is feeding.
If the LED is off, the switch is
open.
The previous example determines whether or
not the field component is functioning properly.
However, to determine if the signal is actually
being communicated to the CPU the signal must
be
checked on the low voltage section of the
board. The low voltage section is checked from
the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface. Using the previous
example, from the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface,
navigate
to the "Inputs and Outputs" menu, "Car Inputs
and Outputs" and scroll through the I/O list
until the "UT" input is located. The LCD will display
"UT=1" if the "UT" switch is feeding and "UT=0"
if
the switch is open.
A second example will show how to determine if
an output is working properly. With the car at
the
first floor and the controller designed for
120VAC discrete position indicators, the “P1”
output should be
on. The voltage measured at
terminal “P1” with respect to “GND”, should
read 120VAC. If the voltage
reads less than
50VAC, the voltage supplied to the output device
must be checked. The schematic, in
this case,
would show the “P1” voltage is supplied at the
“PIC” terminal. A voltmeter would be used
to
measure the voltage between “PIC” and “GND”.
If that voltage is at the terminal but the indicator
is
not on. The 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface could be used
to view if the CPU is turning the “P1” output
on.
From the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Inputs and Outputs" menu, "Car Inputs
and
Outputs" and, scroll through the I/O list until the “P1” is located. The display will show “P1=1
which
indicates that the CPU is sending a signal
to turn on the “P1” output. For this example,
since the CPU
P a g e | 165
Section 9 - Troubleshooting
is turning on the output, and the
correct voltage is at the output common but not
at the output terminal,
it would indicate that the
output solid‐state relay for “P1” is defective and
should be replaced.
All of the I/O’s are optically isolated between the
high voltage section and the low voltage section.
The
input optoisolators and the output solid‐
state relays are socketed IC's that are labeled on
the silk screen
of the various I/O boards with a
"U" number (for example U45). If it is
determined through the previous
troubleshooting procedures that the input signal
is present at the terminal, but is not being
communicated to the CPU, the input
optoisolator may be defective and can be
replaced in the field. If it
is determined that the
CPU is communicating the output signal to the
solid‐state relay, but the voltage
does not go
high at the terminal, the solid‐state relay may be
defective and can be replaced in the field.
Any
time IC’s are replaced, the power should be
turned off and care should be taken in removal
of the
old chip and replacement of the new one.
All of the I/O and their associated IC’s are listed
in the wiring schematics.
The following diagram in Figure 9.1 shows the
run sequence of the controller. The timing of
BRK changes
with the adjustment variable DON
Start Control. When set to 0 the BRK output
turns on before DON and
when set to 1 BRK turns on after DON. The BRK timing typical works best with the adjustable variable set
to 0 for VVVF and 1 for DC SCR.
Figure 9.1 Run Sequence
Figure 9.2 Safety Processor Board
The Safety Processor Board has two fault LED’s,
one on the top center and one on the bottom
center of
the board. The top center LED is for
PAL inhibit and the bottom center one is for PIC
inhibit (See Figure
9.2).
Important: When either LED is on, this board
will prevent the car from running.
The Safety Processor Board performs the
following functions (See “Safety Processor Functions” in
Section 13):
Verifies the speed of the car when terminal
limits are activated
Verifies that the doors are closed and safe to
run
Verifies all inspection operations
Verifies that the car velocity is not greater
than 150 fpm in the door zone and with the
doors
open.
While the Safety Processor Board cannot turn
on any run control signals, it can turn off the
follow signals
from the main CPU: RUNA, BRK,
UP, DNR, UPF and DF. The SFC relay in the
safety string is also controlled
by the Safety
Processor Board.
The Safety Processor board detects two types of
faults, active faults and velocity faults. Active
faults are
input conditions that are considered
as unsafe or an error such as the lock bypass
switch place on while
the car is on automatic.
Velocity faults are generated when the Safety
Processor Board detects that the car speed is
too high
during certain conditions, such as
hitting the DTS terminal limit at a speed greater
than the speed setting
for that limit. Both types
of faults are reset after a 2 second delay, the
condition is corrected and the
main CPU is not
commanding an up or down run.
P a g e | 167
Section 9 - Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting errors detected by the
Safety Processor board, take the following
steps:
Check LED status. Either PAL inhibit or PIC
inhibit LED on indicates an error.
View the elevator service “Elev Serv”.
Anything other than Automatic or a valid
inspection
service is an error.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Inp/Out" menu, and view all of the I/O status.
See
Section 13 for a complete description of the
input and output signals.
From the 1066 LCD interface, navigate to the
"Faults" menu, and view the recorded faults.
The
Safety Processor Board faults are recorded
in ram and will be lost when power is turned
off.
As mentioned earlier, RUNA is one of the signals
that can be turned off by the Safety Processor
Board. If
a "RUNA Off" error is generated on the
1021/1101/1005 LCD interface (main CPU), it is typically
caused
by the Safety Processor detecting an
error at the instant the run is starting. When a
RUNA Off error is
recorded, check the status of
the Safety Processor board first.
During a fault condition when the Safety
Processor drops the SFC relay, every input after
the SFC
terminal will lose voltage including the
inputs for the normal and terminal limits. This
could cause an Up
or Down directional limit
error on the main CPU.
Additional fault information is shown in the
next section, System Faults.
9.4 System Faults
Faults that are detected by the main CPU can be
viewed on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD interface by
navigating
to the "Fault Log" menu, "View Fault Log". The possible faults detected by the main CPU
are
listed in Section 11, Main CPU Faults. By
pressing the "ENTER" button on the 1021/1101/1005 LCD
interface when the particular fault is being
displayed, the interface will display detailed
information for
that fault. The Detailed Faults Section (Section 11) describes this information. In general, when a fault
occurs, the system records the state of all the items listed in the Detailed Fault and makes that
information available for troubleshooting purposes.
Faults that are detected by the Safety Processor board can be viewed on the 1066 LCD interface by
navigating to the "Faults" menu. The possible faults detected by the Safety Processor are listed in
Section 13, Safety Processor 1066 LCD Interface.

T
he group communications status shows
the number of data packets successfully
transmitted and
received from the
group to the cars, for the “group” car,
and from the car to the group for the
remaining cars. The communication sequence is always initiated by the
group. The group sends a
data packet to
the car and after the car validates the
checksum of the packet, it responds with
a data
packet to the group. The transmit
and receive counters should always be
incrementing in both the car
and the
“group” car. If either counter does not
increment, it would indicate a poor cable
connection or
that there is electrical
noise on the communications cable.
Electrical noise is usually caused by
installing the communications cable in
the same conduit with high voltage
wires.
10.20 Car Comm Status
The car communications status shows
the number of data packets successfully
transmitted and received
from the car to
devices on the car’s CAN bus. These
devices can be mounted in the motor
room, in the
car operating panel or on
the car top. The second line of the car
status shows the device software
version number and if the device is
currently on line communicating. The
transmit and receive counters
should
always be incrementing for all devices. If
the receive counter does not increment,
it would
indicate a poor cable
connection or that there is electrical
noise on the communications cable.
Electrical
noise is usually caused by
installing the communications cable in
the same conduit with high voltage
wires.
10.21 Drive Comm Status
The drive communications status shows
the number of data packets successfully
transmitted and
received from the car to
the drive. The second line of the drive
status shows the drive’s software
version
number and if the drive is
currently on line communicating. The
transmit and receive counters should
always be incrementing for all devices. If
the receive counter does not increment,
it would indicate a
poor cable
connection or that there is electrical
noise on the communications cable.

occurrences. Faults are displayed in the
order of occurrence with the order
number displayed on the top
left. The
largest order number signifies the last
fault that has occurred. Faults are stored
in a circular
buffer that fits up to 50
faults. Once the buffer is full the next
fault over writes the oldest fault. Refer
to the system faults in the troubleshooting section of this manual for possible causes of the fault and a
description of the detailed fault data.

Section 10a Service Activation Timers
Section 10a - Service Activation Timers
All services have either an input trigger or a timer
condition that makes the service become active.
The "Service Activation Timers" can be used to
allow a feature to be turned on during specific
times of
the day without the need of a specific
condition or switch to be turned on and off. All
GALaxy traction
and complex hydro controllers
have the “Service Activation Timers” feature that
allows up to ten
different timers to be separately
programmed.
These timers will turn on services that will
operate only during these predefined times. The
different
services that can be programmed are
listed below.

There are two different settings to choose from to determine when the timers will operate:
Day of the Week: this will allow the timer to
turn on and off services for each individual day
of
the week. There are a total of seven on and off
time settings.
Month and Day: this will allow the timer to turn
on and off only for the date that is programmed.
There are three on and off settings for this type.
The most common setting will be day of the
week” but “month and day” timers will be useful
for
programming special events or holidays. You
could set day of the week timers. When the “day
of week”
timers are set, the chosen service will
operate repeatedly for each day of the week that
is programmed.
Month and Day timers will
operate only once a year.
Programming the timers can be accomplished
through the LCD interface or the Galileo
Interface. Once
the timers are programmed they
can be “disabled” or “enabled” without
modifying other settings. In
other words, a timer
could be programmed completely and remain
disabled until the building is ready
for
implementation. At that point the timer can be” enabled” and it will function as programmed.

Dynamic Braking Resistor
Temperature Fault. The
temperature for the
dynamic braking resistors is
read through a temperature
sensor mounted above the
resistors. The temperature
sensor connects to the
temperature sensor input
board mounted on the DIO1
connector on the CPU
board. When the
temperature sensor opens a
contact, the CPU detects a
temperature fault, an error
is recorded, the car is shut
down at the next floor and
the DBC relay is de-
energized to open the DB
Resistor circuit.
Faulty Temperature Sensor. If the DB Resistors are not hot,
check the temperature sensor input board connected to the
CPU board. The input LED should be on when the
temperature is okay. If the LED is not on, jump the two
terminals on the temperature input board and the LED should
go on. If the LED goes on then the Temperature Sensor is bad.

Field Variables Backup Table
Checksum Error. The
verification checksum for
the backup field variable

During power outages or brown-outs, enough noise can be
generated on the 5V DC supply to cause an error in reading

switch goes LOW after we
go in motion we will detect
that as a fault.
If Controller is not really faulting, check that Slowdowns are
not at the same position as the dead level position. In Gear-
less jobs roll back could cause this extra change of state and
therefore generate the fault. In that event reposition Terminal
Slowdown by a couple of inches.

Wrong Dir Pls Run

Wrong Direction Pulses
while car running down.
The pulse counts should be
counting down while the car
is running down.
This fault refers to CPU pulses.
If CAN Open Encoder speed feedback:
Check “Encoder Dir” in the Car Motion menu. Run the car in
the up direction. If the controller pulse count increments then
the “Encoder Dir” bit is fine, else if the count decrements,
change the “Encoder Dir” parameter to the opposite value.
Check for roll back of the car. The controller will allow for
some counts in the wrong direction on start but if the roll back
becomes excessive, the fault may occur. If this job is not in
setup and has been running with an older mechanical Turck
encoder, the encoder could be faulty. The mechanical Turck
encoders use reed switches in the encoder to latch higher
order digits of the absolute value. If this encoder is placed
near a magnetic source or if the reed switch is faulty, the
count can appear to jump in the opposite direction. Please
also check for accompanying fault messages.
If Motor Encoder speed feedback:
Check the jumper on the encoder isolation board. If this car
has been previously running properly, the encoder isolation
board could be faulty. If during initial setup, change the
jumpers for A and A not.

Determining “Gripper/EBK Fault” Device
This section explains how to determine what might be causing “Gripper/EBK Fault” status by looking
at the device number. The device number can be found in the detailed faults screen of the
1021/1101 LC Screen: go to Fault Log->View Fault Log and press “Enter” when you find: “Gripper Trip
Fault” or “Emergency Brake Trip”, press “Enter” again to see the detailed faults.
For each detailed fault you will see a list of all the flags that were set at the time when the fault
occurred. Look for what the “dev” (old CPU) or “PF1” (new CPU) is equal to and compare that to the
table below.
dev / PF1
#
Fault Description
1
Encoder velocity is over 125% compared to car speed set in the cons file. You may
want to check the parameter "Adjustable Variables->Car Motion->Overspeed Trip"
and set the percentage properly.
2
This also relates to of the car but it occurs when the field adjustable variable
"Adjustable Variables->Car Options->Gripper/EBK Trip" is set to +2 for over
speeding.
3
Gripper fault with this device will only occur if field adjustable variable "Adjustable
Variables->Car Options->Gripper/EBK Trip" is set to +1 (SPB) or +4 (ENC) or both
added together. Mainly you should check the Safety Processor or the Encoder.
4
Gripper fault with this device will only occur if the GOV input is low and LC input is
high and field adjustable variable "Adjustable Variables->Car Options->GOV
Gripper/EBK" is set to "0".
5
Faults with this device number only occur when you are on Car Top or Machine
Room inspection mode and both car gate and hoistway doors are open and you are
not on a door zone.
6
When on Automatic, both car gate and hoistway doors are open and car moves
from door zone will cause the fault with this DEV/PF1 number.
NOTE: If emergency brakes are enabled you would get an "Emergency Brake Trip" fault,
otherwise you would get "Gripper Trip Fault".

In the example above we are illustrating IO1=2Ch. The hsignifies that the number is in
hexadecimal notation, the actual hexadecimal number is 2Cand the hcan be ignored.
The 2Cis converted to binary using the chart above (green) and the binary values transferred to
the appropriate IO line, IO1 in our example (blue). In binary notation we count from the right - LSB
(Least Significant Bit) to the left MSB - (Most significant Bit), which is why binary 1is written
as 0001 it begins at the right.
A binary 1indicates a high input or output, meaning it is ON. A binary 0indicates the input
or output is low, meaning it is OFF.
In our example above we can see that UTS, UT1, DLB, DLT and RLM are all low, or OFF, and UT2,
UT3, and DLM are all ON.

Distance Feed Forward.
During the final approach to the floor, when using a tape
selector, the number of pulses to calculate the velocity is 64
pulses per foot. So during this time, if the CPU does not see a
distance change, it calculates the distance the car should move
over the next ten millisecond period and then uses that value
to calculate next velocity value. This value is a multiplier for
what percentage of the velocity calculation to uses. When the
next pulse comes in, the CPU calculates the velocity value as
normal.

This parameter is applied to both the car that is selected
as the dispatcher and also the non‐dispatcher cars. If set
to 1 and hall call is power lost, the dispatcher car will set
down hall calls above the lobby and up hall calls at and
below the lobby. For the non‐dispatcher cars, if set to a
1, and communications is lost to the dispatcher car, the
car will dispatch itself to down hall calls above the lobby
and up hall calls below the lobby. The front hall call and
rear hall call bits settings are only used for the
dispatcher car and when set, if communication is lost to
a particular hall call board, hall calls are set for the
affected floors.

of the
car is recorded at each limit switch. This
velocity value is cleared when the car runs in the
opposite
direction. This display is used to setup
the Safety Processor Board speed clamps in the
1066 LCD
interface, "Adj Var" menu. Once the car
is running on automatic, send the car to the
terminal landing
and record the velocity values after the car stops. Begin with a one‐floor run and
increase the distance of
the run by one floor until
the car reaches top speed.
When the highest value is determined for each
limit switch, add 20 fpm and enter those values in
the
1066 LCD interface "Adj Var" menu, "UTS

Fault
Description and Cause
DL/GS
Door Lock/Gate Switch Fault. Car is moving outside the door zone with the door open.
The car will immediately shut down.
Add Er
Address for Safety Processor Board should not be set internally to a value different than
5. Replace PIC micro controller unit
Com Er
CAN communication with CPU timed out. Safety Processor Board stopped receiving
packages from the CPU. This fault always occurs once when the controller powers up.
DT Spd
DT Speed Fault. The car hit the DT limit at a higher velocity than the value set for the DT
Velocity adjustable variable. The car will immediately shut down.
DTS Sp
DTS Speed Fault. The car hit the DTS limit at a higher velocity than the value set for the
DTS Velocity adjustable variable. The car will immediately shut down.
EEprom
EEprom fault. Defective EEprom device or EEprom device is not installed. The car will
not be able to run until the EEprom is installed or replaced.
EncBat
Encoder Battery Error. The encoder uses an internal battery to maintain position of the
car when power is off. While the system is powered up and communicating, the Safety
Processor Board monitors the status of the encoder battery. If the battery level is too
low to maintain the position count, a battery error is declared. Replace the encoder.
EncCom
Encoder Communication Error. Encoder and Safety Processor Board stopped
communicating. Possible causes:
Improper connection on SPB for R./T+ or R/T‐
Faulty driver chip on Safety Processor Board
Improper connection on Encoder
Fault Encoder
EncFlt
Encoder Fault. The encoder has detected an internal fault. Replace the encoder.
EncIni
Encoder Initialization Error. On power up of the controller the Safety Processor Board
will request the position count from the encoder. If the SPB is unable to receive the
position count and the encoder is still communicating, an initialization error will be
declared. See possible causes under EncCom error.
P a g e | 419
Section 13 Safety Processor
Table 4: Safety Processor Faults
Fault
Description and Cause
EncPos
Encoder Position Error. Once the encoder position count has been initialized during
the
learn hoistway procedure, the Safety Processor Board will monitor that the
count
does not go above 30,000,000. If it does, then a position error is declared.
Possible
causes:
Faulty encoder coupling to governor
Car was lost from fault UT or DT limit switch and ran down. If the count decrements
past zero it will roll over to 35,000,000.
EncVel
Encoder Velocity Error. To calculate velocity from the encoder a position update must be
received every 50 milliseconds. If the SBP fails to receive 5 consecutive data packets
from
the encoder, then the velocity cannot be calculated properly and you will get this
error. See EncCom error for possible causes.
INS DO
Inspection Door Open Fault. A door is open while running on inspection and the gate
and locks are not being bypassed. The car will immediately shut down.
INS Sp
Inspection Speed Fault. The car exceeded the INS Velocity adjustable variable while
running on inspection. The car will immediately shut down.
Invalid
Invalid fault number. (This can only be caused by a programming error in the chip).
IO Flt
I/O Fault. An input is on in error. The Elev Serv display will show the I/O error. Possible
causes are as follows:
All inspection inputs and the auto input are off.
More than one inspection or auto input is on at the same time.
A bypass input is on while the car is not on Car top inspection.
Both up and down run output from the main CPU are on at the same time.
The car will not be able to run until the error is cleared.
LEV Sp
Leveling Speed Fault. The car exceeded the LEV Velocity adjustable variable while
leveling with a door open. The car will immediately shut down.
No Flt
No fault is recorded in this index location.
PAL Er
PAL chip not responding
Reset Safety Processor Board
Replace PAL chip

Fault
Description and Cause
Pls Er
Pulse Error. Not enough pulses have occurred during the Pulse Fault Time period.
This error is detected only on automatic operation. Verify that the pulse LED on the
Safety Processor board blinks while the car is running on inspection. Possible
causes are as follows:
Improper connection for PP and PPS. Refer to the job specific prints.
PP and PPS field wires need to be swapped.
Photocoupler in selector is faulty. Call the Factory.
Voltage from PP to PPS on the Safety Processor Board is less than 15 VDC with
the PP and PPS wires disconnected. Call the Factory.
UmotEr
Unintended motion detected. No up or down run signal and velocity greater than
75 fpm.
UT Spd
UT Speed Fault. The car hit the UT limit at a higher velocity than the value set for
the UT Velocity adjustable variable. The car will immediately shut down.
UTS Sp
UTS Speed Fault. The car hit the UTS limit at a higher velocity than the value set for
the UTS Velocity adjustable variable. The car will immediately shut down.

Section 14 GALX-0320AN NTSD Board
Section 14 - GALX‐0320AN NTSD Board
This board is a retrofit for the GALaxy III Controller.
The board’s function is to detect if the set limit velocities are exceeded, if so then the board commands
the drive to slow
down through the drive communications.
The image below shows the connections and LEDs for the board.
In the schematic example below we only monitor DT/UT.
P a g e | 425
Section 14 GALX-0320AN NTSD Board
When the board is first installed the GALX‐0320AN board has to be inserted into the controller/drive
communications.
The communications wiring is as follows: Controller ‐> GALX‐0320AN ‐> Drive.
Next the adjustable variables must be set in the GALX‐0320AN.
Top Speed Number of Pairs of Limits Drive Type Drive Baud Rate, must all be set.
The limit velocities in the adjustable variables must be determined using the “Lim Vel” menu. If running
on construction
mode set the limit velocities to car speed.
Make long runs to the top and bottom floors and write down the values in Lim Vel” for each of your
limits. This menu
will display values for the UT limits when you reach the top landing and the DT limits
when you reach the bottom
landing.
Add 20 to the numbers obtained from the “Lim Vel” menu and enter these numbers in Adj Var‐>UT
Vel, UT1 Vel, etc.
The table below can be used to determine how many limits you should have.

direction).
2. Access the Overspeed Reference Multiplier parameter (Function #81) in the drive and set to the
desired multiplier value (1.25 for 125%).
3. Set the Overspeed % (Function #12) fault trip value to a number greater than the desired over
speed.
4. Set the Overspeed Test flag (Function
5. #80) in the drive. This will cause the drive to run over speed for one run.
6. Please note that the “Weak Field Current” parameter (Function #49) may need to be adjusted to
allow the car to reach the desired overspeed velocity.
7. On the controller main LCD interface select “Run Overspeed Test” under the Elevator Setup
menu. Follow the directions on the LCD display to make sure the automatic door switch is off
and the car is level at the floor on automatic operation. Enabling the overspeed test will prevent
the CPU from detecting an overspeed condition for one run.
8. Place a car call to run the car in the desired direction to perform the overspeed test.
9. Place the car on inspection and inspect the car.
10. Reset the Overspeed % (Function #12) back to the original setting.

Appendix C GALX-1100 CPU
Appendix C GALX-1100 CPU
Appendix C is a guide for the latest GAL CPU, the GALX‐1100. Please note that this CPU is backwards
compatible with previous versions.
GALX1100 CPU (Replacement CPU for TS5300 board)
GALX‐1100 CPU
The GALaxy GALX1100 CPU has been implemented as the replacement board for the previously used TS‐5300
CPU (now obsolete). The new CPU uses a dual‐core 32bit Freescale CPU
that include all the components and
features used on the GALX‐1036 COMM Memory Board, the GALX 1092 Encoder Board, the TS‐SER2 serial
expansion board and the existing TS‐5300 CPU. It uses Secured
Digital Card storage instead of Compact Flash so
that program upgrades and data/parameter storage
can be easily transferred to any device
that can copy text
files from an SD Card file.
The TS9500 VGA board and GALX
1021 board combination is replaced
with a single GALX1101 LCD/VGA
board. The single GALX1021/1101/1005 LCD board is replaced with a GALX1005 LCD board.
GALX1100 CPU Board Replacement
Installation
Items required for installations:
Laptop (to copy configuration file
from CF card to SD card), small common
screwdriver, USB Card
Reader to read and write CF card and
SD card, GALX1100 CPU board, 10pin
encoder
cable (supplied with CPU),
GALX‐1101 LCD/VGA board or GALX
1005 LCD board, SD card with one of
the
following controller files: tract.mot,
tracthr.mot or hydro.mot files.
The procedure to replace an existing
CPU, COMM Memory board and Encoder board is as follows:
Place the car on inspection.
Power the controller off.
Remove the CF card from
the existing CPU and copy
the cons.dat or conshr.dat
file to the SD card for the
GALX‐1100 CPU.
Disconnect the encoder
connector from the
encoder board on the stack
and then remove all boards
off
the stack except the
1036 comm memory board.
Disconnect the comm
connectors from 1036
board.
Plug in the new CPU on to
PC‐104 connector on top of
the 1036 board.
Install spacers onto new CPU board to support the LCD or LCD/VGA display board and plug in the display
board.
Wire the power connector to the new CPU board and then power up the controller.
From the LCD screen, select the Software Utilities menu and then select to “Load 1036 Field Variables”.
If data is read successful, the field variables are now stored in the new CPU. If not, the parameters must
be added manually and the car must be re‐ adjusted.
From the LCD screen select the menu “Load 1036 Hoistway Setup”. If data is read successful, the
hoistway setup data and the load weigher data is now stored in the new CPU. If not, the load weigher
P a g e | 445
Appendix C GALX-1100 CPU
must be setup and a hoistway learn must be done once the 1036 board is removed. It is recommended
to do a hoistway learn regardless of the outcome of the hoistway read.
Once both the parameter and hoistway data tables are read from the 1036 board, power down the
controller, remove the LCD or LCD/VGA board, remove the new CPU and then remove the 1036 board.
Re‐install the new CPU adding the required screws and then re‐ install the LCD or LCD/VGA board also
adding the required screws.
Connect the communications connectors that were previously on the 1036 board to the new CPU board.
The new CPU board is supplied with an encoder cable. If the existing system had used a 1092 board,
plug in the encoder cable from the 1092 board to the CPU board encoder connector (left most 10‐pin
connector on the board). If the existing system used a 4I30 encoder, replace the encoder cable with the
supplied cable from the encoder isolation board to the CPU board.
Power up the controller.
Run the car on inspection making sure the CPU pulse count is incrementing or decrementing in the
correct direction. If the direction needs to be reversed, then change the “Encoder Dir” parameter to the
opposite value under the “Car Motion” menu listed under the “Adjustable Variables” menu.
Run the hoistway learn setup procedure. (Recommended)
Place the car on automatic with the door service turned off and run the car to verify all is good.
Once the car operation is verified, place the car on inspection and from the “Software Utilities” menu;
select the “SD Card Read/Write Data” menu. Select the following menus to save the field variables, job
setup, hoistway table, and security and timer information to the SD card: “Write Field Variables”, “Write
Job Setup Data”, “Write Hoistway Data”, “Write Service Timers”, and “Write Security Data”.
Remove the SD Card and copy the data to a laptop using and SD card reader.
Replace the SD Card back into the controller CPU. The SD card must be installed in the CPU SD card slot
in order for the car to power up properly. The car will not run after power up if the SD card is not
installed.
Place the car on automatic service and enable door operation.
Load job software to CPU
The following procedure is used to load
the job software to the new CPU:
When the CPU is powered up, the program must be operating in the Power‐ Up Mode and have an SD
Card with the appropriate “.dat” and “.mot” files installed. If controller software is already copied into
Flash, either place the car on inspection and from the Software Utilities menu, select to run Power‐Up
Mode or cycle power on the CPU board while pressing the Mode and Enter button on the LCD Display.
Disconnect the Car to Car communications cable. While the CPU flash is being programmed, the output
pins for the Car to Car communications port may be left in an unfavorable state that can prevent it from
working properly. It is best to disconnect the cable to avoid loss of communications between the
remaining cars.
Once in Power‐Up Mode, select the “Update/Verify Program” menu and then select the “Load Program
from SDCard” menu.
Press the Enter button to begin the file transfer when prompted to do so. The flash memory will be
erased and then the new program will be copied to the onboard flash. Power must be kept on the CPU
throughout the entire process.
The display will show “Operation Complete” once the load is finished.
Cycle power on the CPU or hit the Mode button and then select the “Run Controller Program” menu, to
run the controller software.
LCD Display
The main menu on the LCD display now shows
Software Utilities instead of Software Version to
allow for
additional features implemented with the new GALX‐1100 CPU board. The diagram
below shows the new menu
items, in yellow, and
also includes the latest menu changes.
P a g e | 447
Appendix C GALX-1100 CPU
Software Utilities Menu
The Software Utilities menu provides access to
special functions that do not directly affect the
adjustment and
setup of the controller. Most functions in this menu require that the car be on
inspection to execute the
operation. The diagram
of this menu is shown below:
P a g e | 449
Appendix C GALX-1100 CPU
Below is a list of the Software Utilities menu items
and the function of each menu:
View Software Version Display the software version, revision and interim revision in the form
6.00.18.
Run Power‐Up Mode The Power‐Up Mode is a program that executes first upon power up of
the controller. It checks that there is a valid controller program in memory and that a valid
cons.dat file is on the SD Card. Once this is validated, the power up program runs the controller
program. If the power up program is executed from the controller program or if during power
up, the user presses and holds the enter and mode buttons, this routine does not run the
controller program but stays in the power up routine to allow for updates of the controller
program.
Test Watchdog Reset The watchdog is a CPU timer that must be updated periodically in
software to confirm that the program is still running correctly. If the watchdog is not updated,
the timer will expire and cause the CPU to do a hard reset to allow the program to restart. To
test the watchdog timer, when the command is given, the controller program sits in an infinite
software loop without updating the watchdog time to test that the reset function works.
Reset Debug Variables The debug variables are set by a software engineer to aid in debugging
a software problem. Some problems are especially difficult to catch because they occur
infrequently or at seemingly random times. The debug variables are displayed in the detailed
Elevator Status Menu so that a mechanic view the variable and report back to the software
engineer. The reset debug variables menu allows the mechanic to reset the variables to zero to
aid in debugging.
SD Card Read/Write Data This menu item allows the user to read and write controller data to
and from the SD Card. This menu is explained in detail in the next section.
SD Card Status This is the Secured Digital Card Status showing if the card has been initialized
(Init=1), if it is standard or High Capacity (HC=1), and if it can operate at an acceptable voltage
level (VStat=1).
Load 1036 Field Variables If replacing a TS‐5300 CPU board with a GALX‐1100 CPU board, the
user can have the GALX‐1100 CPU read the Adjustable Field Variables from the 1036 board
memory before removing the 1036 board.
Load 1036 Hoistway Setup If replacing a TS‐5300 CPU board with a GALX‐1100 CPU board, the
user can have the GALX‐1100 CPU read the Hoistway Setup Data from the 1036 board memory
before removing the 1036 board. The Hoistway Data includes the floor position counts, the
normal slowdown limit counts, the selector top and bottom counts, the DZU and DZD distances,
the up and down floor level distances, the floor offset values, the speed clamp data, the car call
security mask, the load weigher setup data and the service timers.
SD Card Read/Write Data
The SD Card Read/Write Data Menu give the
user the ability to store, retrieve and transfer controller data, to
and from the controller, the
SD Card and to a PC or Laptop. The SD Card
Read/Write Data menu is shown
below:
P a g e | 451
Appendix C GALX-1100 CPU
Below is a list of the SD Card Read/Write
Datamenu items and the purpose of each
menu. The files written to
the SD Card are
text files that can be viewed from a
Windows text editor such as Note Pad or
Word Pad.
Write Field Variables Write Adjustable Field Variables to a text file, fvars.txt, on the SD Card.
Read Field Variables Read Adjustable Field Variables from the text file, fvars.txt, on the SD
Card.
