8. ALARMS CONFIGURATION

The alarms values correspond to the load threshold at which each relay change its state.

The relays allows to be configured individually as make or break contact Alarms are activated when their threshold is exceeded. The Unit OMEGANG has 4 different alarms:

AL-1 (Full Load, Relay #1):

Change of state when exceeding the load programmed in AL-2 (Over Load, Relay #2):

Change of state when exceeding the load programmed in

AL-3 (Zero Load, Relay #3):

Change of state when falling below the load programmed in Note: This alarm is active below Alarm3 Threshold.

AL-4 (Rope Tension Difference and Slack Rope Tension, Relay #4): Change of state if any rope has a slack rope tension or if any rope deviates from the average of all

other ropes at least by the percentage programmed in .

The working procedure of the relays as a make or break contact can be changed for each alarm output

using the parameter. Valid values are (Close) for the operating mode MAKE and (Open)

for the operating mode BREAK. Close is a normally closed relay and OPEn is a normally open relay. Alarm LEDs indicators will be activated when the display measured value overload corresponding

9. CHAIN COMPENSATION

9.1. New Chain Compensation

The New Generation of Load Weighing Devices has the newest Software for chain

compensation. It offers several options to improve the accuracy to compensate the weight of the chain.

In this Submenu, the user can choose between three options, no compensation, software compensation and hardware compensation.

9.2. Submenu Chain

Submenu Press Check value Enter to modify to enter Type: Type of chain compensation applied. User can choose between hardware compensation, software compensation or none compensation Value: Max Chain value to compensate. At installation. Valid Values : 0-600

C_Bot: Chain zero operation at the ground floor

C_Top: Chain load operation at the top floor

C_Har: Real chain load value compensated by hardware measure in selected units

ChCEL: Nominal Chain load cell sensibility. This value is calculated when C_Bot or C_top operation is done. User shouldn ́t modify this value. ( If this parameter is modified the previous calibration settings will be overwritten)

User manual OMEGA/NG

9.3. Chain Compensation Adjust

The NG Series has new advanced chain compensation. To use all the features of new

compensation is necessary to adjust some parameters in Menu.

There are two types of compensation.

 Software chain compensation: When selected, the unit compensate the chain with hold signal

activations/ deactivations.  Hardware chain compensation: When selected, the unit compensate the chain with the on real

time weight of the chain. This can be done using the auxiliary Load Cell input for chain

compensation and adjusting the parameters for hardware compensation. Note: To deactivate all chain compensations just set Type parameter to none.

Set Type to None value.

9.3.1. Software Compensation This function allows compensate the difference of weight between floors produced by the chain. The unit needs the HOLD signal to be active when the doors close to compensate the

weight during the elevator movement.

To configure the software compensation:

Set Type to SoFT value. 

Set the estimated weight of the chain. This parameter will be the maximum value  compensated by software compensation

In this parameter you can check the value the OMEGANG is compensating by software each  time the HOLD signal is deactivated

When using software compensation, Auto_Zero compensation will be activated automatically.

9.3.2. Hardware Compensation

In some installations ( the largest ones), software chain compensations doesn`t work perfect due to different friction in the rails between floors, weight changes during long

elevator travels, or just any auto_zero is done cause elevator never stops. These problems can be solved with Hardware compensation.

It is mandatory to plug an auxiliary Sensor (Load Cell for chain compensation) when

hardware compensation is selected. Otherwise Err1 will flash in the display.

Auto_Zero compensation will be also deactivated automatically

A system Configuration (Point 7) must be done previous to set the Hardware compensation parameters.

Take the elevator to the Top floor and set C_TOP To Yes. A Countdown will start 

In this parameter you can check the value the OMEGANG is compensating by hardware  with the chain load cell

9.3.3. Auto-Zeroing Compensation

The Auto_Zero compensation is designed to automatically remove small measurement error

lower than parameter

The Auto-Zero function will happen whenever the OMEGANG measures a static offset of ±

for a period of at least 120 seconds. During this time the measured load must not change

by more than 20kg. The OMEGANG applies an internal compensation value equal to the inverse value of the currently measured offset.

The Auto_Zero compensation value is stored in internal memory. After power cycling the measure in the display will be the same. To eliminate the Auto_Zero compensation, a Zero operation should be

done.

10. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

10.1. Hold function

During the elevator travel, the measured loads can heavily fluctuate due to friction in the rails,

loads movements, etc. When a voltage in the range 24-230V (DC or AC) is applied in this input, the unit holds the last stable measure of weight acquired.

The voltage must be applied when the doors close and it must be removed as the doors open.

This ensures that the movement of the cabin will not affect the weighing process and therefore, no alarms or relay will be activated during elevator travel.

To improve the hold of a stable measure two parameters have been added at CHAIN menu

and .

As some installations sets the HOLD input at the same time it closes the doors, sometimes the last measure obtained is not as stable as desire. The same issue can happen when removing the HOLD

input and the doors Open.

 Time in tenth of seconds to take the measure before the hold. Signal is active.

 Time in tenth of seconds to update the measure after the hold. Signal is released.

Note: With T_1 = 10 and T2 = 15: If hold signal is activated, then, the OMEGANG will take as a valid measure the last stable weight

value that was stored 1 second before hold was activated. Then when hold is released the first stable value will be taken 1.5 seconds after the hold signal is deactivated.

This option offers great flexibility to resolve problems in some critical installations.

10.2. Analog output (Optional)

This unit is provided with two analog outputs (Voltage and current output). Both Outputs are

active and operative at same time.

This function reflects the sensors signal over the range between ZERO and the value sets for ALARM1 (full load):

Output Range

When weight ≤ 0kg 0 V 0-10 volts (empty elevator) ( 0-5 Optional ) When weight ≥ ALARM1 10 V (elevator at full load) ( 5V Optional ) When weight ≤ 0kg 4 mA (empty elevator) 4-20 mA When weight ≥ ALARM1 20 mA (elevator at full load) 15

ColumnOutputColumnColumnRangeColumnColumn
When weight ≤ 0kg (empty elevator)0 V
When weight ≥ ALARM1 (elevator at full load)10 V ( 5V Optional )
When weight ≤ 0kg (empty elevator)4 mA
When weight ≥ ALARM1 (elevator at full load)20 mA

15. WIRE ROPE TENSION ADJUSTMENT

This section explains how to check the tension of all wire ropes of the installation. All ropes

should carry the same tension. Equally tensioned ropes improve ride quality and extend life of ropes and sheaves.

Nowadays most elevator systems have multiple wire ropes attached to the cabin and

counterweight. This ropes normally run over a traction sheave or pulley just to move the cabin up and down the hoistway.

When some ropes have more tension than other, the ropes with lower tension will slide over the

pulley and can produce a crown groove wear at the sheave. It is possible to detect this wear by rope slapping, vibrations on the cables, or metal dust on the pulley.

Normally, the system works better if all the ropes have similar tension (about ± 5%) of the nominal load of the installation.

Although some installers manage to adjust the rope tension manually just touching the ropes or

Just tuning the installation plucking each rope as a harp string, the best way to do this operation is

measuring the load on all the ropes and displaying it in real time.

Usually Load weighing devices manufactures have dedicated and expensive tools to do this operations.

But the OMEGANG, can be used not only as a good Load Weighing device but as an additional low cost rope tension balancing tool also.

And as the unit will be installed for life you will have a permanent tool to adjust wire rope tension

and detect slack ropes at the installation in real time.

15.1 Wire Rope Tension checking Tool

The only tool needed to adjust the wire rope tension is the WRCTNG dongle and a Smartphone a tablet or a laptop. Then from the rope tension screen you will visualize the load of each rope in real time

Now it is possible to adjust the tension of each rope to make then equal.
