IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read Instructions: All Safety, installation, and setup instructions should be read before installing or operating the EMV10 Electronic Motor Valve.
Failure to follow the installation and setup instruction may result in unsatisfactory performance, equipment damage, or physical injury.
1. Service: There are no user serviceable parts contained herein. Refer all service to qualified service personnel only.
2. Risk of Electrical Shock: Do not remove the valve cover except when making adjustments or servicing the valve. Always turn off all electrical
power sources before servicing any mechanical part or assembly. Do not place metal objects in contact with the energized Electronic Control
Board at any time.
3. EMV10 Power Sources: The EMV10 Electronic Motor Valve uses multiple electrical power sources. Hazardous voltages may be present
even if one source to the EMV10 is secured. Verify all voltage sources to the EMV10 are secured before making repairs.
4. Wiring: All wiring should be routed in such a way that it is not likely to be pulled, pinched, stepped on, have objects placed on it, or damaged
in any way.
5. Retain User Manual: The user manual should be retained for future reference.
INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES
The Maxton EMV10 Electronic Motor Valve was designed to meet a growing demand for low use limited access (LULA), handicapped and residential
hydraulic elevator applications. The EMV10 combines hydraulic and electronic control to provide excellent ride quality. The EMV10 has all the features
found in a commercial hydraulic control valves plus electronic safety control and adjustments allowing quick set up and easy problem analysis.
FEATURES
• Quick set up and less field adjustments required.
• Built in pressure and viscosity compensation.
• Ride performance is maintained from empty to fully loaded condition.
• Acceleration and deceleration are independent of load and oil viscosity.
• Regulated contract down speed, up leveling speed and down leveling speed.
• Stabilized leveling speed is achieved in a very short distance.
Failure to correctly follow the recommended procedures may
result in damage and/or a hazardous condition.
\
Verify all voltages before applying power. Incorrect voltages will
damage the EMV10 control board. Power supply must be regu-lated at +24VDC and Rated at 3.2 amps minimum.
Interface to the EMV10 uses Maxton Field Interface Cable.
Color coded wires are used to identify each electrical connection.
Connect each wire to the elevator controller function as described
below.
PUMP RUN INPUT FROM CONTROLLER (110VAC input)
(Red wire). Warning: Failure to use this circuit can result
in a hazardous condition. This wire should be connected in
such a fashion that if a valve malfunction occurs, pump
Operation is prohibited. The PUMP RUN INPUT FROM
CONTROLLER wire is connected internally on the valve
control board to the input side of a SSR (Solid State Relay).
This wire should be connected to the elevator controller’s
110VAC pump run signal.
7. OUTPUT TO PUMP/MOTOR STARTER (output)
(Brown wire). Warning: Failure to use this circuit can
result in a hazardous condition. This wire must be
connected in such a fashion that if a valve malfunction occurs,
pump operation is prohibited.
The OUTPUT TO PUMP/MOTOR STARTER wire is
connected internally on the valve control board to the output
side of a SSR. This wire should be connected to the 110VAC
pump/motor starter.
6. Coil Common (Yellow). Connect to the coil common signal
(110VAC(N)).
2. DL Coil Signal (Yellow / Blue). Connect the 110VAC down
leveling coil signal here.
3. D Coil Signal (Yellow / Red). Connect the 110VAC down high
speed coil signal here.
4. UL Coil Signal (Yellow / Black). Connect the 110VAC up
leveling coil signal here.
5. U Coil Signal (Yellow / Brown). Connect the 110VAC up high
speed coil signal here.
8. DC Return (Violet). Connect to the 24VDC power supply
(negative) - return.
9. +24VDC @ 3.2A (Blue). Connect to a regulated +24VDC
power supply, rated at a 3.2 amps minimum. This is the
primary valve power source. The 24VDC power supply should
be switched on / off by the elevators main power source.
FACTORY SETTING: All valves are factory tested and set to the job specifications provided. Factory settings should only be changed if accurate car
speed information is available to the technician.
NORMAL OPERATION MODE: Make sure all connectors are plugged in to the VCB (Valve Control Board). The green “POWER” indicator is on and
there is no errors listed on the LCD display. These conditions indicate normal valve operation.
PRESSURE RELIEF ADJUSTMENT:
THE INFORMATION PRESENTED HEREIN IS FOR USE BY SKILLED HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR PROFESSIONALS
• Land car in pit and install pressure gauge in port “B”.
• Register an up call with a fully loaded car, making note of pressure gauge reading.
• Cancel the up call.
• Close the manual shut off valve to the jack.
• Set the relief adjuster to the minimum pressure position. To do this turn the relief adjuster screw fully CW until seated. Then turn CCW 3 full turns.
• Register an up call, observe pressure gauge and turn the relief adjuster CW to increase the pressure gage reading. The final setting should be in
accordance with state and local code requirements.
• Cancel the up call.
• Snugly tighten the relief adjuster nut.
• Register an up call to verify the pressure relief setting.
• Cancel the up call.
• Open the manual shut off valve to the jack.
VALVE SET UP:
• Register up and down calls to verify FLOW (high speed), leveling speed, acceleration, deceleration and stop rates.
• If necessary, use the MODE/ENTER button to navigate to the ride quality setting to select different ride quality (rate). Setting “0” (factory default)
provides the softest ride quality (rate), setting “9” provides the hardest ride quality (rate).
MANUAL LOWERING (ML):
• ML is Twist style located on the right side of the valve.
• Turn ML OUT (CCW) to lower car when necessary. Manual lowering speed may vary with system pressure and jack size.
PROCEDURE FOR SETTING OVERSPEED FLOW WITH 11 AND 12 GPM WORKING FLOW:
• After completely setting up the valve including the down flow. With car at the bottom floor, turn the Relief (R) adjuster out(CCW)to stop.
• Make an up call. Car should not move. Turn the Relief adjuster slowly IN (CW) until the car moves then one more turn IN. Car should make
normal up run and stop at the upper floor.
• Turn the Relief adjuster OUT (CCW) one turn. Make a down call. Car should be running down at speed faster than normal down run. Check car
speed if it complies with the Codes, 110 to 140 % of normal down high speed. If not, turn the Relief adjuster OUT (CCW) for faster or IN (CW) for
slower down high speed. Note the number of turns in this step.
• If an up run is needed, turn the Relief adjuster IN (CW) the same number of turn in Step 3.
• When the down high speed for overspeed condition is obtained, set the overspeed valve (or governor) as required.
• Press “MODE/ENTER” button to cycle through the menu
• Flashing cursor indicates current setting

The valve controller program incorporates self diagnostic routines designed to identify conditions that can result in
incorrect or abnormal valve operation. The diagnostic routines have the ability to auto-correct most conditions that may be
encountered.
Error History:
If an error condition occurs the VCB will momentarily stop car movement, interrupt the pump operation and display an
error. If possible clear the cause of the condition and automatically return to normal operation. If experien ci ng large
numbers of error conditions, check the cables for loose connections and proper power to the VCB. To determine if an
error condition has occurred navigate to the Advanced Menu where there is a view history mode. This mode once entered
will display a number of errors recorded up to ten and then display those errors automatically at a three second interval.
Erase Error History:
To erase error history, navigate to the Delete History in the Advanced Menu. Select yes and there will be a confirmation
screen notifying that the operation is complete.
Note 2:For proper operation the elevator pump operation must be interrupted under various conditions.
Therefore be sure to utilize the PUMP DISABLE CIRCUITS in the valve installation as described on pg. 5
