4.5 Chain compensation submenu

In case you need chain compensation, you must connect the HOLD signal to the device. In this submenu you can activate or deactivate the possible chain compensations for software or hardware. This function makes it possible to compensate weight difference between floors produced by the chain. Once the compensation has been set up, after the activation of the HOLD signal with the closing of the doors, the device performs the calculation to compensate the weight during the movement of the elevator. In some installations, especially the larger ones, the chain compensation via software does not work with maximum precision due to the friction of the rails between floors and the weight changes during long trips. For this type of installation, compensation via hardware is recommended. This compensation requires an auxiliary sensor specially designed for chain compensation. If a sensor is used for chain compensation, you must NOT include this sensor in the number of sensors section of the calibration (chapter 4.3).

Options submenu Description

Parameter to select the type of chain compensation.

Compensation via hardware. This compensation requires an additional sensor to measure the weight of the chain. You will need to place it next to the last connected sensor.

Compensation via software No chain compensation

Maximum value of chain compensation. (For hardware and software).

Select a maximum value to compensate from 0 ... 600

Compensated value of the chain by software estimate. (Read only) This value is shown in the selected units (chapter 4.3)

Time to measure the weight before the HOLD signal triggers.

This parameter is measured in tenths of a second and serves to be able to take a stable measure of the weight before closing doors.

Delay time to update the weight when the HOLD signal is released.

This parameter is marked by tenths of a second and serves to be able to update a stable measure of weight after opening doors.

AUTO-ZERO function AUTO-ZERO-SHORT: When the device does not detect any weight change of more than 20kg, for 2 minutes, it will eliminate the possible error that may appear below the configured maximum compensation value.

AUTO-ZERO-LONG: After 30 minutes of rest, it can make corrections of any weight.

AUTO-ZERO-SHORT AUTO-ZERO-LONG ON ON ON OFF OFF ON OFF OFF

If the maximum compensation value is set to 00000, the AUTO-ZERO-SHORT function will be disabled.

4.9 Belt status submenu

This device has continuous belt core breakage detection, which ensures the continuity of the core within the belt.

To use this function, the broken belt connectors must be installed on both ends of the belt and the top clip connector must be connected to the corresponding monitoring input of the belt. Follow the broken belt connector install guide for proper installation of the broken belt connectors.

Belt Core integrity detection:

When any core is broken the device will detect the faulty belt and indicate in its corresponding led. Additionally, AL-6 and relay #5 output will be activated. The Alarms will remain active regardless the core recovers its continuity until the user rearmed the relay from the Belt reset parameter.

Options submenu Description

(Yes/No): Set to Yes to activate the breaking core monitoring.

Initial reference for the individual belt monitoring state. This operation should be performed when the broken belt connectors are installed at the ends of the belt.

Time (in hours) since the IREF operation (belt installation) was done.

Time (in hours) since the reset warnings (visual belt inspection) was done.

If any core at any belt is broken the display will show “ERR 15” alternating with the number of the Belt causing the error.

4.10 Cabin parameter

This parameter is used to define the type of MB cabin display connected. In order to properly configure the cabin display, you must take into account that it takes as a reference the levels established in the full load and overload alarms. The LEDs of the silhouette will light up according to the full load level. On the other hand, when the weight on the elevator exceeds the over load limit, the MB will indicate both optically (LED blinking) and audibly (buzzer) that the elevator is overloaded.

Options submenu Description
