RUN:
The RUN position is for normal operation.
SETUP:
The SETUP position allows users to adjust the optical
cams of the Harmonic model, or the hall-effect sensors
of the Linear model. These are DOL, AUX, DPM, and
DCL sensors . Crucial parameters can only be adjusted
in STOP mode. The SETUP position will put the drive
into the STOP mode, and no power will be delivered to
the motor.
AUTO:
The AUTO position is for normal operation.
MAN.:
The MAN. position allows opening and closing the door
by means of the OPEN/CLOSE switch.
When the AUTO/MAN. switch is in the MAN. position, if
the CLOSE/OPEN switch is pressed in the OPEN or
CLOSE positions, it will Open or Close the door
respectively.
NUDG. switch allows closing the door at a reduced
speed (Nudging speed). To test the Nudging speed in
Manual mode, the AUTO/MAN. switch must be in the
MAN. position and the CLOSE/OPEN and NUDG.
switches must be pressed to the CLOSE and NUDG.
positions.
When the AUTO/MAN. switch is in the MAN. position, if
the NARROW switch is pressed in the NARROW position,
it will work in conjunction with the OPEN/CLOSE, and
NUDG. switches to Open, Close, or Nudge the door.
HEAVY:
When the AUTO/MAN. switch is in the MAN. position, if
the HEAVY/RESET switch is pressed in the HEAVY
position, it will work in conjunction with the
OPEN/CLOSE, NUDG. switches to Open, Close, or Nudge

the heavier door.
RESET:
The RESET position allows manual reset of faults of the
drive, if faults have occurred. Otherwise, pressing the
RESET side has no effect.

2. LED indicators:
A red LED is provided on each of the input modules (Open, Close, or Nudge). Heavy and Narrow
inputs are optional and require an additional I/O board, which will be provided on request to carry
out the Heavier and Narrower door functions.
Note that if the input signals voltage is 60V or less, the jumpers on each input module must be removed.
There are 20 more LEDs, on the main board, to indicate the completion of the door width learning,
the directions, the final limit positions, nudging, holding, dynamic slowdown distances, input signals,
output signals, and voltage levels. The illustration below identifies those LEDs.

5

3. Optical Sensors for Harmonic Model:
For the harmonic model, there are 4 optical cams to set the final limits, door protection monitor, and
an AUX. cam for the narrower door. The Optical cam board, 2500-3056, carries the optical sensors, and
the table below describes the functions of those sensors.

Remarks

Door Open Limit. The VFE2500 utilizes
the DOL limit signal for door width
learning. After the door width learning
process is completed, VFE2500 utilizes
the DOL limit as HOME position
whenever power is restored after an
interrupt.
Set Par. 199=0 to use the
AUX/NARROWER sensor as the DOL
input of the narrower door.
Set par. 199 = 1 to deselect the
AUX/NARROWER sensor.
DPM: Door Protection Monitor. The
DPM cam triggers the DPM Relay and
activates ½ inch before the Gate
switch makes.
Door Close Limit. The VFE2500 utilizes
the DCL limit signal for door width
learning. After the door width learning
process is completed, VFE2500 also
utilizes the DCL limit as HOME position
whenever power is restored after an
interrupt.

4. Hall-effect Sensors for Linear Model:
For the linear model, there are 4 hall-effect sensors to set the final limits, door protection monitor,
and an AUX. sensor for the narrower door. These hall-effect sensors have the same functions as in
the harmonic operator, as shown in the table above. They are connected to the signals transfer board
and arranged as follows:

6

5. Inputs:
Three input modules are provided to receive OPEN, CLOSE,
and NUDGE commands from the elevator controller. These
universal input modules receive control signals either in
form of contacts or signal voltages; from 24-230V AC or
DC. Jumpers on the input modules must be removed if the
input signal voltage is 60V or less. LEDs of the input
modules draw currents from the elevator controller, not
from the VFE2500. Therefore, when these LEDs are lit, they
indicate that the elevator controller has sent commands.
In automatic mode, the VFE2500 will only accept input
signals from the elevator controller. In other words, open,
close or, (nudge + close) LEDs must be on to have the door
operator open, close, and nudge respectively.

6. Outputs:
Four relays are provided to output DPM, RE-OPEN, DOL, and DCL signals to the elevator controller
in the form of contacts. The relay contacts are rated at 10Amp, 250VAC maximum and 100mA,
12VAC minimum.

This output is used to flag the elevator
controller that the door(s) need to be
reopened. The reopen output DOES NOT
reopen the door directly. The signal to reopen
the door(s) must come from the elevator
controller. Re-open relay is triggered by any
one of the following detections:
- Stall Reverse; controlled by Par. 148.
- Frequency Failure; controlled by Par. 136.
- Detector Edges; controlled by Par. 202,
SW8, and Enable IC U5.
DPM is designed to work with the Fault
Monitor (FM). FM is a patented door lock and
gate switch protection device. Its purpose is
to meet the ASME A17.1 RULE 210.15 and
CAN/CSA-B44-M90 RULE 3.12.1.5. The
setting position of DPM is ½ inch before the
gate switch makes.

7. Additional I/O Board:

Additional I/O board, 2500-3055, is optional. If used, this
board will be connected to the connector J7 of the main board 
2500-3050. The additional features of this board are:
- Inputs for the Heavier, and Narrower doors.
Elevator controller must provide command signals
to the Heavy and Narrow inputs to use the functions of
the parameters sets of the Heavier and Narrower doors.
Set Par. 199 = 0 if Narrower door is used.
- Edges Timeout: Once the infrared detector edge is
obstructed, and after a delay set by Par. 197, the
Edges Timeout relay will be activated and held for
an interval of time set by Par. 206. Should the
edges timeout relay be used for Nudging application,
it must be subject to the elevator fire service codes.
- DOL of the narrower door is selectable between the
Regular output DOL on the main board or the
AUX/NARROWER output on the Additional I/O board.
Set Par. 204 = 1 if only the regular DOL output is used.
Set Par. 204 = 0 if both the AUX/NARROWER output
and regular DOL output are used.
- AUX2 relay is provided as a spare output and is controlled
by Par. 68. If the door position is less than the value
set in Par. 68, the AUX2 relay will be activated.
- Buzzer: once the infrared detector edge is obstructed, and
after a delay set by Par. 198, the output of the Buzzer will
be activated. Buzzer operation is controlled by Par. 205.
Par. 205 = 0 : Disable
Par. 205 = 1 : Enable in Continuous mode
Par. 205 = 2 : Enable in Pulsating mode
The Buzzer volume control is on the board. Turn the Pot. R3
clockwise for louder sound.





















8. Encoder card:












The optical galvanic isolation encoder card is a means to interface between the
encoder and The MCU (Micro Controller Unit). This total isolation helps enhance
the reliability and safety of the feedback system.
RJ12 mating gold-plated connectors are also used to maximize the conductivity
between the encoder and MCU.


9. Encoder:







Two different types of encoder are used in
VFE2500 door operators. Model 2500-3057
encoder is used for the straight motor. Model
2500-3058 encoder is used for the geared
motor. These encoders are utilized to provide
distance and velocity feedback.






Model:2500-3057
Model:2500-3072-R/L


To verify encoder direction:

VOLT

Press
the PULSE key, run the door in manual mode or physically move the door by hand, and watch the LCD

display.
If the door closes and the count decreases, or the door opens and the count increases, then the encoder
direction
is correct. Otherwise, change parameter 42 from 1 to 2 or vice versa. The table below provides the default

values of par. 42.

10. LEARN DOOR WIDTH LED:
The “LEARN DOOR WIDTH” LED is an indicator to show the status of the door width
learning process.
To learn the Door Width:
Set Par. 63=1. Use Manual mode to run the door from DOL to DCL or vice versa.
Follow the prompts on the LCD display. The “LEARN DOOR WIDTH” LED will flash and
turn off when the learning process is completed. Par. 63 will reset itself to Zero.
See Parameter Adjustment section for more details.

11. CAN Bus card:
The optical galvanic isolation CAN bus card is one of the methods to interface
between and the elevator controller and the VFE2500. This total isolation helps
increase the reliability of the CAN bus.
To enable CAN Bus operation:
Flip the RUN| SETUP switch to SETUP. Set Par. 11 = 5.
Flip the RUN| SETUP switch to RUN. Flip the AUTO|MAN to AUTO to run VFE2500
with the CAN Bus.
Other communication protocols are also available upon request. However, an agreement between ECI and the
requesting party must be made prior to the implementation of the communication protocols.
Contact ECI for more details in CAN or other protocols.

12. Infrared Detector Edges Connection Ports:
To simplify connections between infrared detector edges and the elevator
controller, ECI offers ECI Certified Infrared Detector Edges. These infrared
detector edges can be connected directly to the VFE2500. The procedure
below will assist users to plug and play ECI Certified Infrared Detector
Edges with the VFE2500.
NPN or PNP output:
The info of NPN or PNP output should be obtained prior to installation.
Read the label on the tube or the detector edges’ manual to know the
output type of the infrared detector edges. It is either NPN or PNP. Set the
selector switch SW8 accordingly. If the info of NPN or PNP is unavailable,
then, use a trial and error method. Assume that the edges’ output is NPN
for the 1st trial.
To set up ECI certified infrared detector edges:
Set Par. 202 = 1 for NPN type. Set Par. 202 = 2 for PNP type.
Set par. 202 = 0 to disable or should detector edges are not connected to the VFE2500.
Make sure the ENABLE CHIP is inserted into the socket U5 on the VFE2500 as shown.
Connect the ECI Certified Infrared Edges to connectors CN4 and/or CN5.
Note! Connectors CN4 and CN5 are interchangeable.
Make sure the REOPEN circuit is connected to the REOPEN output contacts as shown in section 6.

9

Test the detector edges:
- Obstruct the infrared detector edges. The DETECTOR EDGES LED, near the Re-Open relay, should be ON.
- The REOPEN relay should be activated to send the REOPEN flag to the elevator controller.
- The elevator controller will send the Door Open command signal to the VFE2500 to REOPEN the door.
The LED of the Open Input module should be ON.
If the detector edges function does not work.
- Check the manual for correct connections between edges and the VFE2500.
- Check for 24VDC between 0V and +V on either CN4 or CN5.
- Repeat testing the detector edges.
If it still does not work. Then,
-Jump 0V to LCSE on either CN4 or CN5 connector for NPN type.
-Jump +V to LCSE on either CN4 or CN5 connector for PNP type
- The DETECTOR EDGES LED should be OFF.
- The RE-OPEN Relay should be activated.
Otherwise, the problem is in the VFE2500.
If the above step works as described, turning ON the detector edges LED, then the problem is in detector edges.
If the infrared detector edges have intermittent problems:
- Check continuity of the TX and RX cables of the infrared detector edges.
- If the cables are good, but the problem still exists, then check the Earth Ground connection to the edges.
- Lower the Carrier Frequency in Par. 1 gradually until problems are resolved.
Note! The lower carrier frequency will create more audible noise.
The major advantages of connecting ECI certified infrared detector edges via VFE2500 are:
-

Eliminates an extra power supply for the detector edges, resulting is less mounting, less wiring, and
fewer components to fail.
The REOPEN relay that is used for infrared detector edges interface provides 2 more safety features
to reopen the door: Over-speed and over-torque detections.
When the VFE2500 door operator and the interface circuit with the infrared detector edges are
provided by ECI. ECI can provide the best technical support.
ECI provides users with an Additional I/O board to assist customers with Nudging feature. This
additional I/O board only works with ECI Certified Infrared Edges

The table below assists users to identify the colors, numbers of each wire from infrared detector edges to the
VFE -2500 door operator.

13. Parameter Unit:


The Parameter Unit is a tool that plugs into the VFE2500
drive and permits changing values of relevant parameters.

Parameter unit is also needed for door width learning,
monitoring, troubleshooting, storing, copying (reading), and
downloading (writing) reference sets of parameters, to the
VFE2500 drive.

See PARAMETER UNIT section for more details.



14. VFE2500 drive:
































VFE2500 drive is an integral part of the VFE2500 system.
Velocity and distance feedbacks are combined to deliver precise
and smooth stops at DOL or DCL every time

VFE2500 drive provides the connections for:

- Single phase input power supply between L1 & L2 terminals.
Note! 200-230VAC or 115VAC, 50/60Hz, and minimum 500VA
are required.

- Earth ground
Note! A True Earth Ground is required.

- Convenience Gate switch terminals: GS & GS1. Note! GS &
GS1 are only convenience terminals. They have no internal
connection to the VFE2500.

- 3-phase induction motor on U, V, W terminals.

The connector is a pluggable type to ease the connection and
swapping the drive. The RJ12 mating connector for the parameter
unit is located on the VFE2500 drive.

The International Ground Symbol is the True Earth Ground that is
connected to the system. A connector and a green screw, size 8/32
x 3/8, are provided by ECI as shown. Use position 22-14 of the
crimping tool to crimp the wire into the connector and use the

PARAMETER UNIT
The Parameter Unit is a tool to assist users in the following tasks:
● Learning the door widths of the regular door and narrower door.
● Changing accelerations, decelerations, speeds, torques, and all
pertinent parameters of peripheral devices. See the defaults
parameters table for more details.
● Downloading (copying, reading), uploading (writing) to and
from the drive.
● Storing all default sets of parameters and a reference working
set of parameters.
● Monitoring currents, voltages, inputs, outputs, faults, encoder
directions, closing time.
● Resetting the drive.
The followings will describe in depth about the parameter unit:

To set the Clutch Engaged Distance (CED), flip the 1st switch to SETUP. Press the PULSE
key. Physically move the door to the fully closed position. Record the count as Count1.
Move the door in the Open direction until the mechanical clutch is fully engaged and the
zone lock device is fully cleared. Record the count as Count2. Subtract Count1 from
Count2. Set Par. 76 =1. Enter the difference, Count2 minus Count1, of the Count into
Par. 83. Set Par. 76 = 0 so that Par. 83 can be displayed in percentage, instead of
pulses. The clutch engaged distance setup will help smooth the open cycle and prevent
fuses from blowing.

DOOR STALL FORCE MEASUREMENT
The most practical way to measure the approximate magnitude of the door stall force is
to use a spring gauge as shown in the picture below. Stall force is the static force to
prevent the door from further moving.
Stop the door anywhere from one-third to two-thirds of the door travel. Press the spring
gauge against the door, remove the stop. Hold the spring gauge until the door stands
still, and take the reading. The stall force must be smaller than 30 lbs to comply with
ASME, A17.1, Rule 112.4/5, and CSA/B44, Rule 2.13.4/5.

. Physically move the door to the fully closed position. Record the count as
Count1. Move the door in the Open direction, away from DCL, 1 inch for Center Parting
doors, 2 inches for a Side Opening door. Record the count as Count2. Subtract Count1
from Count2. Enter the difference, Count2 minus Count1, of the Count into Par. 69. Do
the same procedure and enter the difference of the count into Par. 70 for the Narrower

‐ Obstruct the Infrared Detector Edges. The DETECTOR EDGES LED should be ON.
‐ The RE‐OPEN relay should be activated to send the RE‐OPEN signal to the elevator controller.
‐ The elevator controller will send the Door Open command signal back to the VFE‐ 2500 to OPEN the door.
The LED of the Open Input module should be ON.
If the Infrared Detector Edges function does not work:

‐ Check for 24VDC between 0V and +V on either CN4 & CN5.
‐ Test the Infrared Detector Edges again
If it still does not work. Then,
‐ Jump 0V to LCSE on either CN4 or CN5 connector for NPN type.
‐ Jump +V to LCSE on either CN4 or CN5 connector for PNP type
‐ The DETECTOR EDGES LED should be ON.
‐ The RE‐OPEN Relay should be activated.
If the above tests work as described, turning ON the detector edges LED, then the problem is in the Infrared Detector
Edges. Otherwise, the problem is in the VFE2500.
If the Infrared Detector Edges have intermittent problems:
‐ Check continuity of the TX and RX cables of the detector edges.
‐ If the cables are good, but the problem still exists, then check the Earth Ground connection to the edges.
‐ Lower the Carrier Frequency in Par. 1 gradually until problems are resolved.
Note! The lower carrier frequency will create more audible noise from the motor.
