2. Description of the connections.

AL-C (Relay contact of the Complete load) Change of the state if the load programmed in the parameter is overcome AL-S (Relay contact of the Overload) Change of the state if the load programmed in the parameter is overcome . AL-A (Relay of the Auxiliary) Change of the state if the load programmed in the parameter is overcome . HOLD (It activate with a tension between 24 & 220 V alternating or continuous). When the elevator is in progress, the measure of the weight is not good.The relay could be activated & the cabin display turns unstable. Activating the entrance of HOLD when the elevator gets in movement.The measure of weight is blocked,then the display presenting in intermittent, & the relay together with the cabin display conserves its state until this entrance is disabled, that should be after stopping the elevator.

OUTPUT OF CABIN DISPLAY It can give two types of output,that which you can select it on the parameter a) Output that is activated in an intermittent way when an overload takes place. The output has polarity, & it can be valid to activate a led and a buzzer (continuous current 7,5V máx.75mA). b) Activation of progressive display MB-D (Two threads connection without polarity).

3. Keys of access to the parameters of menu’s.

The unit has a menu to accede to the adjustment of the parameters. Pressing this key successively, will go going to all programmable parameters of the menu in a cycle way. To return to the visual presentation of weight, press the key several time until to arrive at the end of the menu, or just press it during 2 seconds.

Pressing this key enters in the selected option and once inside we will be able to select the digit to modify.

Pressing this key will modify the selected digit. Also by pressing this key when you are located on the selected parameter, the display presents its content.

4. Modification of the parameter

A) MODIFICATION OF AN ALARM 1) Press the key successively until being place on the desired alarm.

2) Press the key to enter in modification of the parameter, being the left digit in intermittent.

3) Put in the display the wanted value, using this keys .

4) Press to introduce the selected value.

5) Change the state of the relay with this key (ON/OFF).

6) Press twice to saved the change. In the event of only pressing once, you comes out without saving.

B) MODIFICATION OF A PARAMETER (NOT ALARM).

1) Press the key successively until being place on the desired paramete

2) Press the key to enter in modification of the parameter, being the left digit in intermittent.

3) Put in the display the wanted value, using this keys .

4) Press the key twice to save the assignated value. Then the display will present the next parameter.

Remarks: a) If you haven’t press 2 times, the operation will not stored, and the display presents again the parameters that you was modifying.

a) To modify the parameters & , please consult section No.6 (Calibration of the unit).

6. Calibration of the Unit

This section is necessary so that the unit knows the relationship between the signal of the cell and the weight introduced in the cabin. There are two ways to calibrate the unit: I) NORMAL CALIBRATION (Valid for all types of load cells).

1) SETTING OF THE ZERO: a) Situate in the option of menu .

b) Check that the cabin is empty and press the key ,& then press while is in intermittent the operation will be confirmed with a count-down. And when it finished, the display will present the

parameter .

Remarks: If you don't press the before finishing the intermittence, the operation will not stored, and the display presents again the parameter .

2) ADJUST OF THE WEIGHT: a) Situate in the option of menu . b) Introduce inside the cabin a well-known weight (It is recommended at least as minimum 50% of the

complete load) & press .

c) Put the value of the weight placed in the cabin using the keys .

d) To save the value press the key 2 times (The unit will start to count -down and the value will be save). Then the display will present the next parameter .

Remarks: If you haven't press the for the 2nd time, the operation will not stored, and the display

presents again the parameter .

Instruction manual VK-3B

II) CALIBRATION OF THE CELL FOR DIRECT TRANSMISSION (TCE MODEL) To fulfill this operation it is not necessary to introduce a well-known weight in the cabin

1) SETTING OF THE ZERO (same as the operation of the normal calibration). 2) ADJUST OF THE WEIGHT:

a) Situate in the option of menu .

b) To enter and be able to asigned a value press . c) Put the calibrated value of the cell using this keys . (This data comes at the end of the cables, and it belongs to the calibration value of the manufacturer.)

d) To save the value press the key 2 times(The value stored in the memory).then the display will

present the next parameter .

If you haven't press for the 2nd time the operation will not stored, and the display presents again the parameter .

7. Alarms

Remarks: 1) For the setting of the alarms, see section No.4(Modification of parameter). 2) It recommend to put the state of rest in ON because if a loss of data takes place in the programming, the relay always passes to the state OFF.

8. Auxiliary Functions

Option of the chain compensation. This option allows to compensate the difference of weight between floor taken place by the chain. To use this option it is necessary to introduce the approximate weight of the chain, keeping in mind that the allowed maximum value is 50kg. In the event of putting it to zero the chain compensation will be annulled. Allows to configure the output of cabin display and the condition of the relay. Config. Display of low consumption Output of cabin display ConF = 0 ON ON Intermittent activation (LED) ConF = 1 ON ON Progressive activation (MB-D) ConF = 2 OFF OFF Intermittent activation (LED) ConF = 3 OFF OFF Progressive activation (MB-D)

9. Mode of low consumption

As the display is the most that consumes and it is not an element that is visible.It has been keep in mind a way of a low consumption, that once the display turns off automatically, the display presents a rotating segment to indicate that it is continuesly working.

Cases that the unit enters in the function of low consumption. 1) When connecting the unit to the power supply, it presents the weight during 3 minutes. And in the event of not touching any key, automatically it will pass to the mode of low consumption. 2) When it passed one hour since the last time that having played the key.

3) When the unit is presenting the weight, pressing the key during two seconds

Remarks: To leave the function of low consumption it is necessary to press any key.

11. Change of the fuse

1) Disconnect the unit 2) Open the unit removing the 5 screws that hold the back cover. 3) Take out the circuit of the box, and change the fuse that is in the vertical free mounting fuse holder located next to the transformer.

13. Quick programming guide

1. Install the sensor and connect it to the unit control.

To connect properly the sensor to the unit control, please see section No.1 (Installation)

This section is to knows quickly the keys of this unit. a) To find the parameter that is wanted to change press successively and to accede to the parameter

press

b) Modify using this keys ,

c) To save the data press 2 times

2. Before to start to calibrate the unit control, please be advise to do the following: a) Down the cabin to the lower plant of the building. (or in the half of the itinerary) b) Bounce inside the cabin to avoid possible hooks on the guide rail.

3. Most important parameters to calibrate step by step: 1. Set the Zero of the unit with the empty elevators:

- Situate in the parameter

- Press , and will start to count-down. 2. Adjust of the Weight (Peso): - Put a well known weight inside the cabin ( at least 50% of the complete load)

- Introduce in the parameter the value of the load that has been placed in the cabin using this keys

, then to save it press 2 times and the unit will start to count-down.

3. Put in the value of the load, starting from which is required to activate the alarm of complete load.

4. Put in the value of the load, starting from which is required to activate the alarm of overload.

5. Put in the value of the load, starting from which is required to activate the alarm of auxiliary (if it will be used). Note: It is important to calibrate the setting of zero before doing the operation of the adjust of weight.
