equipment periodically. Only timely troubleshooting can ensure the safety
of passengers.
The packaging materials, screws and terminal blocks can be re-used and
it is suggested that you keep them well for future use.
The electrolytic capacitors on the main circuits and PCB may explode
when they are burnt. Poisonous gas is generated when the plastic parts are
burnt. Treat them as ordinary industrial waste.
1.2 General Precautions
1. Motor insulation test
Perform the insulation test when the motor is used for the first time, or when it is reused after being stored for a
long time, or in a regular check-up, in order to prevent the poor insulation of motor windings from damaging
the controller. The motor must be disconnected from the controller during the insulation test. A 500-V megaOhm meter is recommended for the test. Ensure that the insulation resistance is not less than 5 MΩ.
2. Thermal protection of the motor
If the rated capacity of the motor selected does not match that of the controller, especially when the rated power
of the controller is greater than that of the motor, adjust the motor protection parameters on the operation panel
of the controller or install a thermal relay for the motor circuit for protection.
3. Motor heat and noise
The output of the controller is pulse width modulation (PWM) wave with certain harmonic wave, and therefore,
the motor temperature rise, noise, and vibration are slightly greater than those at running with the power
frequency (50 Hz).
4. Voltage-sensitive device or capacitor on the output side of the controller
The controller outputs PWM waves, and therefore, do not install the capacitor for improving power factor or
lightning protection voltage-sensitive resistor on the output side of the controller. Otherwise, the controller may
suffer transient overcurrent or even be damaged.
5. Contactor on the input and output sides of the controller
When a contactor is installed between the input side of the controller and the power supply, the controller must
not be started or stopped by opening or closing the contactor. When a contactor is installed between the output
side of the controller and the motor, do not open or close the contactor when the controller has output.
Otherwise, modules inside the controller may be damaged.
6. Use outside the rated voltage
The controller must not be used outside the allowable voltage range specified in this manual. Otherwise,
components inside the controller may be damaged. If required, use a corresponding voltage step-up or stepdown device.

Version : 1.4
Date of issue : 03-07-14
7. Surge suppressor
The controller has a built-in voltage dependent resistor (VDR) for suppressing the surge voltage generated when
the inductive loads (electromagnetic contactor, electromagnetic relay, solenoid valve, electromagnetic coil and
electromagnetic brake) around the controller are switched on or off. If the inductive loads generate very high
surge voltage, use a surge suppressor for the inductive load or also use a diode.
Note
Do not connect the surge suppressor on the output side of the controller.
8. Altitude and de-rating
In places where the altitude is above 1000 m and the cooling effect reduces due to thin air, it is necessary to derate the controller. Contact Monarch for technical support.
9. Adaptable motor
The controller is adaptable to squirrel-cage asynchronous motor or AC PMSM. Select a proper controller
according to motor nameplate. The default parameters configured inside the controller are squirrel-cage
asynchronous motor parameters. It is still necessary to perform motor auto-tuning or modify the default values
based on actual conditions. Otherwise, the running effect and protection performance will be affected. For
PMSM, motor auto-tuning must be performed.
10. Precautions on selecting residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB)
Tripping may be caused if an improper RCCB is selected when the controller drives the motor. This is because
the output wave of the controller has high harmonics and the motor cable and the cable connecting the
controller and the motor produce leakage current, which is much larger than the current when the motor runs at
power frequency (50 Hz). Thus, it is necessary to determine the proper RCCB sensitivity based on the general
leakage current of the cables and the motor. The leakage current is dependent on the motor capacity, cable
length, insulation class and wiring method. Generally, the leakage current on the output side of the controller is
three times of the current when the motor runs at power frequency (50 Hz).
1.3 Protective Functions
Adopting different protective functions for different levels of faults, the NICE1000 provides the elevator
running system with full abnormality protection. For detailed solutions to the faults, Faults of the controller are
classified as follows:
1. Speed abnormal
The controller monitors the encoder feedback speed and output torque. Once the feedback speed exceeds the
limit or the deviation between the torque limit and the speed feedback is too large, the controller performs
protection immediately, reports an alarm and prohibits running.
2. Drive control abnormal
The related faults include drive overcurrent, overvoltage/under voltage, power input/ output phase loss,
overload, and storage abnormality. If such a fault occurs, the controller performs protection immediately, stops
output, applies the brake and prohibits running.

Version : 1.4
Date of issue : 03-07-14
3. Encoder abnormal
The related faults include encoder phase loss, direction reversing, wire-breaking, and pulse interference. If such
a fault occurs, the controller performs protection immediately to avoid unexpected accidents. If pulse
interference is large, the controller reports an alarm immediately. If pulse interference is small, the controller
performs position correction every time it receives a levelling signal and clears the accumulative error.
4. Levelling sensor abnormal
The related faults include sensor failure or sensor stuck. The controller judges whether a fault occurs based on
the levelling signal change. If the levelling signal does not change within the set time, the system reports an
alarm.
5. Floor data abnormal
The system stores the floor information through the shaft auto-tuning. If the floor data is abnormal, the system
prompts the fault information at the first-time running. During actual running, the controller continuously
compares position information input by Dis with the stored floor data. If the deviation is large, the system
reports an alarm.
Note:-
This commissioning setup manual is to be referred along with the NICE1000 Electrical Drawing
and User Manual.
