1.3Description of safety provisions
As a standard the Elevator is not provided with control and an y safety pr ovisions. Before putting the Elevator into operation some safety provisions
are to be taken care of. The purpose of these safety p rovisions is to protect
the user, the product and the Elevator against undesired situations (damage). Without these safety provisions FlexLink cannot give a guarantee on
any damage caused in absence of these safety provisions.
The table below gives a general description of the safety provisions required. Here it should be noted that only technically qualified employees
are allowed to work on the settings of the safety provisions!
Control Remark
Emergency stop switch Each Elevator is to be provided with one or more emerge ncy stop switches
that can be operated within reach of the user.
The switch must have the standard red colour.
The emergency stop switch must make sure that the input and output
tracks are switched off simultaneously.
Motor protection The technical specification of the Elevator is, among other things, geared
to the load given in the order confirmation.
Should the Elevator (motor) be overloaded for certain reasons, this should
be detected. Without this protection there is a chance that the Motor or
other components of the Elevator will be damaged.

. Note! If it cannot be made sure that there will be no product on
the machine that exceeds the minimum or maximum dimensions
(see technical specification), the detector described below must
be installed on the Elevator.
Height / width
detector
The product that is put into the Elevator may not get stuck as a result of a too
high / wide or twisted product.
In order to ensure that products fit in the Elevator and will not get stuck, the
input of the Elevator can be checked for height / width.
This detection must take place well before the Elevator prior to putting the
product on the Elevator.
The maximum dimensions of the product are given in the technical
specification.
Mechanical Remark
Transition guard At the transition between the Elevator and a connected conveyor a gua rd must
have been placed, so that persons are kept at a reaching distance from the
transition.

1.3.1Safety system architecture
The safety system architecture varies depending on elevator version.
Elevators require motor supply voltage and permanen t 24V DC power supply for communication devices. Motor supply voltage depends on version
(50 Hz version: 400 V AC, 60 Hz version: 480 V AC).
Safe 24V DC (disconnected at emergency) is not used although the elevator provides means for passing on the power.
1.3.1.1Profibus/DeviceNet versions
Emergency switch
The purpose of the safeguard is to be part of the line global emergency
safety system and affect the motor power supply to the elevator.
In case of emergency, the motor power supply to elevator shall be disconnected (stop category 0, EN60204-1).
Door switch
The elevator is equipped with a service door for access inside . Opening the
door results in a elevator internal disconnection to motors (stop category 0,
EN60204-1).

2.3Operating conditions
The circumstances under which the Elevator can be ap plied partly depend
on the materials selected. FlexLink has defined a number of parameters
within which the Elevator would be allowed to function. Should th e Elevator
still be applied beyond these limiting values, FlexLink cannot guarantee the
good functioning of the Elevator.
Ambient temperature (in operation) -20°C to +60°C
Relative air humidity (RH) 30% to 95%, not condensing
Lighting Normal ambient lighting
As a standard no lighting is installed on the Elevator and this can neither
be installed as an option. Normal ambient lighting is sufficient to work safely
with the Elevator. The Elevator is not intended for use in the open air and
besides the Elevator is not suitable for an envir onment with a risk of explo sion.
For use under deviating circumstances you may contact the supplier of the
Elevator.

Page 30
Introduction function and components
Safety system
Profibus and DeviceNet versions includes an autonomous safety system
for the door switch, disconnecting the power suply to the motors through
the safety relay and main contactors.
For Profisafe versions the door switch and emergency switch are connected to safety inputs of the communication interface. Main contactors are
connected to safety outputs of the communication interface.
For Profibus and DeviceNet versions the conductors of emergency switch
is connected to a terminal group. This terminal group is integrated into the
line global emergency stop safety system by integrator.
The red knob of emergency switch is delivered in pla stic bag a s th e el evator emergency switch functionality is not guaranteed before it is appropriately integrated into the line's safety system by the integrator.
Drives
The horizontal drive is with fixed speed controlled by a device including
contactor and motor protection.
The vertical drive is frequency controlled by a frequency converter placed
on the motor itself.
For standard versions the motor contr ol is discrete: On/Off, Up/Down, High
speed/Low speed. Spee ds are preset in hardware of motor.
For advanced versions a second communication interface provides advanced control of the motor. Speed and ramp times can be controlled by
software in Line controller . Motor current value and error codes can be provided by the motor to the Line controller.

Introduction function and components
Mechanical lifting device
For RTI elevators (Paternoster), the lifting device consists of a number of
carriers attached to a roller chain. These ar e powered by a Movimot bra ke
motor mounted in the lower part of the elevator. Feed-in and discharge devices are required for feeding in and feeding out pallets. These are not included with the elevator.
For XT/X85/XK elevators, the lifting device consist of a short conveyer with
separate drives for feeding in and feeding out p allets (see the figure below).
Vertical movement of the lifting device is powered by a drive chain to a Movimot brake motor, mounted in the lower part of the elevator.
Figure 7 Lifting device
Elevator function is controlled by a number of photo-electric cells and inductive
sensors.
The photo-electric cells check that product feed-in is correct and that the
product is correctly positioned for discharge. For XT elevators, this check
is made by inductive sensors.
Inductive sensors control the lowering of the lifting speed and stopping of
the lifting movement.
The machine is of the stand-alone design and can be combined with conveyers. Feed-in and discharge can be single or multiple.
Maximum product size is dependent on product stability and the dimensions of the elevator.
RTI elevators do not include feed-in or discharge devices at the top.

The safety system design depends on version. Profibus and DeviceNet
versions include a safety relay to which the door is connected. Profisafe
version do not contain any safety relay. Common for all versions is that motor supply voltage is disconnected at emergency stop through main contactors.
In the bottom of cabinet is an earth rail for cables. There is also one earth
terminal for each terminal group.
5112204
Page 33
Introduction function and components
The fieldbus cable is connected by fast connectors as mentioned above,
see electrical documentation. If the module contains several communication interfaces, such as the advanced versions with field distributor, there
is still only one connection point for fieldbus.
Outside and below the electrical cabinet is the connection point for equipotential bonding, see electrical documentation.

The elevator consists or moving parts that can cause injury. Feed-in and
discharge are covered by stationary and openable guards. The elevator
may not be operated if the door switch is inoperable or if a stationary guard
is improperly fitted.
Stationary guards
The elevator is protected by stationary guards of clear PC and aluminium.
These guards must be correctly fitted when the elevator is in service. The
stationary guards must be in place when the power is on.
Openable guard
The elevator is equipped with a service door for accessing the interior . This
door is equipped with a door switch. If the door is opened during operation,
power to the elevator motors is disconnected (stop category 0 according to
EN 60204-1). The door switch is a p art of the safety system and may under
no circumstances be by passed or in any other way made inoperable. Once
the door is closed, the elevator can be reset and started.

Figure 15 Limit switches
The limit switches are located in the upper and lower parts of the frame and
are activated in the event of excessive lifting device travel.
The upper limit switch interlock the vertical motion upwards electrically and
vice versa for the lower limit switch. Thus, activating the lower limit switch
still allows upward motion.
Mechanical dampers serve as protectio n after the limit switch es .
To assure correct operation of the elevator, ensure that the switches are
correctly positioned and are activated in the intended direction of travel.

5Installation and adjustment
This section deals with the operations to have the elevator function well
within a (transport) system. First section 1.2 on page 4, in which the provisions to be taken care of are given, should be studied car efully . section 1.3
on page 6 is particularly im portant for the elevators that are deliver ed to the
end user not fully assembled.
5.1Provisions to be provided
Make sure before integrating that the surround ings are clean and free from
obstacles and the mounting surface is clean and level. Besides, it shou ld
be repeated that the operations are to be carried out in a calm and controlled way!
After having placed the elevator in the correct position, the elevator is to be
fastened to the mounting surface by using the holes in the adjusting feet.
The elevator has an input and output and these a re to be connecte d to the
connecting tracks. Correct adjustment determines the quality of the system.

5.2.1Integration in a (transport) system
The elevator is a machine that is integrated in a system of conveyors. This
means that an input and output are to be connected to it. If the elevator is
to be fitted into an existing situation, this usually give s more problems than
in a completely new situation. In both cases one should aim at optimum
functioning.
5.2.2Floor construction
Below a number of items are given which should be paid attention to during
integrating a elevator as floor construction.
Tools
Opend end spannerRing spannerPlastic hammer
•Before placing the elevator first make sure that it is placed on the
right place and at the right height. For setting the correct height
the adjusting feet mounted under the elevator can be used.
•Now that the correct height has been established, the connectin g
tracks at the lower and upper ends of the elevator can be adjusted. A special sliding bridge or roller bridge may be needed for a
safe transfer of products.
•After the elevator has been well integrated in the system, the elevator can be attached to the floor surface. This can be don e by anchoring the adjusting feet firmly to the floor or/and connect
through the holes shown in the picture.
•At installation, dismount transport protections and replace them
with air vents.
For more information, see the separate manual from gear box
manufacture.
NB: The quality of integration in the system is coresp on sib l e fo r
the good functioning of the elevator. Therefore make sure this is
done properly!

Photo-electric or inductive sensors, depending on version, are used for detecting that product is positioned in the lift cage.
The photo-electric sensor type is retro-reflective, thus the light beam is reflected by a reflector on the opposite side of conveyor back to sensor, making the detection of product less sensitive to colour differences of product.
The stop position of conveyed item, due to sensor position, is such that the
conveyed item does not reach to the end of lift cage conveyor.

The low speed and stop sensors for up and down must be adjusted in relation to motion speed and flag length.
The distance between low speed sensor and corresponding stop sensor is
affected by:
•Flag length. Distance between sensors may not exceed flag
length on lift cage. If not fulfilled, the lift cage will loose the low
speed sensor, thus accelerating to high speed the moments before reaching stop sensor.
•Motion speed/ramp time.
1The combination of high speed, ramp time and distance between
sensors should be such that the lift cage successfully ramps down
to low speed before reaching stop sensor.
2The combination of low speed and ramp time should be such that
the lift cage successfully ramps down to stop on the stop sensor
when the stop sensor is activated.

Instructions for use
6Instructions for use
6.1Handling
The control box contains pushbuttons and indica tions (lamps ) to star t/stop/
jog/alarm och to reset alarms. Pictograms are used for describing purpose
of pushbuttons and indications; Start, Stop, Reset, Jog up/down.
Pushbutton and lamp overview
"Start" is used for starting the module
" Stop" is used for stopping the module normally. The elevator can be
stopped normally in two ways, quickly or controlled. A quick stop is executed when the stop-button is activated more than one time per second. A
quick stop will cause the elevator to stop immediately (as quick as possible). A controlled stop is executed if the stop-button is activated once per
second and cause the elevator to finish the motions in progress before it
stops.
"Alarm reset" is used for resetting alarms.
"Jog up/down" is used for manually adjusting the lift cage's vertical position.
58
Start procedure
Before the elevator can be started all alarms must be reset. Press "Start"
to start. The "Start"-indication will start flashing slowly (1 Hz) a certain time,
ca 2 seconds, before the flash turns into steady light. At fixed light the elevator is started and in production.
Production
When the elevator is in production it receives products from connecting
tracks, elevates to correct vertical level, sends the product to receiving conveyor and returns to home position.
5112204
Page 67
Instructions for use
Stop procedure
Quick stop instruction: Press several times during one second. The elevator will stop immediately/quickly. It will not finish motions in progress.
Controlled stop instruction: Press once per second. The elevator will finish
ongoing motions before stopping. While stopping, the "Start"-indication
flash quickly (2 Hz). When the elevator is stopped the "Start"-indication is
off.
Emergency stop
Emergency stop must not be used for normal stop. It should be used in
case of emergency. Emergency stopping may cause the whole line to
emergency stop. An emergency stop of the elevator disconnect parts of the
electric power. A certain amount of manual labour may be required to get
the elevator back into normal run.
Opening door as stop
The door must not be used for normal stop. It should be used in case of
emergency or when the elevator already is normally stopped. Opening the
door during production will have the same effect on elevator as an emergency stop. See above.
Alarm
During normal state the "Reset" -indication has steady light. At the occasion of alarm the indication will start flashing until alarm is reset. Press "Re-set" in order to reset alarm. The flashing turns into steady light if a larms are
reset.
6.2Manual operation
The elevator's vertical motion can be manually adjusted in stopped state.
Alarms must be reset. Stop the eleva tor, wait until it is stopped and adjust
the lift cage's vertical position up/down using the 3-position switch. The motion is interlocked to avoid running past the up-and down-sensors. If the elevator is run upwards it will stop automatically when the up-sensor is activated, which is an advantage when verifying an adjusted sensor-position,
checking that lift cage and adjacent conveyor are in level thus making the
transition smooth. The motion downwa rds is not affected by the up-se nsor .
Occasionally it is necessary to run past the up-and down-sensors, for example at a crash-situation. In order to realize a run past the up-and downsensors keep "Stop"-button pressed.

7.4Maintenance schedule elevator
The elevator requires relatively little maintenance. S till some maintenance
activities are to be carried out. Below there is a maintenance schedule with
an interval that is referred to normal operating conditions in an organisation
with one shift without excessive accumulation of dirt caused by the products or the environment conditions. The user has to apply an appropriate
maintenance schedule dependent on the individual operating conditions.
It is very important for the proper functioning of the elevator that maintenance is done correctly and timely. Improper, insufficient or not documented maintenance will void any warranty.

Put out of commission
8Put out of commission
Place the elevator on a pallet or p allets with specially cu t supports and with
the electrical cabinet upwards. Secure the elevator with straps. The eleva tor must be well protected and strapped during transport.
At the moment a elevator is put out of operation for some reason, a number
of steps are to be taken in order to avoid da ngerous situations. This section
clearly indicates how one should proceed in a number of cases with respect to uncoupling, dismounting, transport and reuse of materials coming
from the elevator
8.1Disconnect the power sources
Prior to starting the dismounting, the voltage is to be cut of f from the power
source. First the main switch is to be switched off before the power source
can be disconnected.
. Danger: First switch off the main switch before the power source
may be disconnected.
8.2Disassemble
While dismounting the machine, the regulations for waste processing applicable on the place and at the time of the dismantling are to be complied
with. The machine only contains commonly known materials. At the time of
assembling the elevator there were processing possibilities for this and no
particular risks were known for persons involved in dism antling. The disassembly of the elevator generally requires few operations. The elevator can
be disposed of in the same way as it was delivered.
. Note! At the time of assembling the elevator there were
processing possibilities for this and no particular risks were
known for persons involved in dismantling.

8.3Transport
While transporting the elevator a number of safety measur es are to be t aken.
Use the tools / aids indicated in section. If not, it is assumed that the tool /
device used instead is safe and provided with a quality mark.
Carry out the transport operations calmly in order to be able to carefully
monitor any movement of the elevator.
. Note! Vertical or horizontal movement depends on the height of
the elevator. It is recommended to move a elevator higher than
2400 mm in a horizontal position!
8.4Reuse
No fixed rules have been made up for reuse of the elevator, because the
elevator does not contain any hazardous subst ances. At the time of assembling the elevator there were processing possibilities for this and no particular risks were known for persons involved in the reuse.
. Note! Putting the elevator out of operation with all operations
involved may only be done by technically qualified personnel.
