Safety Precautions
This equipment is designed to comply with ASME A17.1, National Electrical Code, CE, and
CAN/CSA-B44.1/ASME-A17.5 and must be installed by a qualified contractor. It is the
responsibility of the contractor to make sure that the final installation complies with all
local codes and is installed in a safe manner.
This equipment is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 10,000
rms symmetrical amperes, 600 volts maximum. The three-phase AC power supply to the
Drive Isolation Transformer used with this equipment must originate from a fused disconnect switch or circuit brea ker sized in conform ance to all applicable national, state, and local
electrical codes in order to provide the necessary motor branch circuit protection for the
Drive Unit and motor. Incorrect motor branch circuit protection will void the warranty and
may create a hazardous condition.
Proper grounding is vitally important to safe and successful operation. Bring your ground
wire to the system subplate. You must choose the proper conductor size and minimize the
resistance to ground by using the shortest possible routing. See National Electrical Code
Article 250-95 or the applicable local electrical code.
Before applying power to the controller, physically check all the power resistors and other
components located in the resistor cabinet and inside the controller. Components loosened
during shipment may cause damage.
For proper operation of your controller, you must make sure that: 1) A direct solid ground is
provided in the machine room to properly ground the controller and motor. Indirect
grounds such as the building structure or a water pipe may not provide proper grounding
and could act as an antenna to radiate RFI noise, thus disturbing sensitive equipment in the
building. Improper grounding may also render any RFI filter ineffective. 2) The incoming
power to the controller and the outgoing power wires to the motor are in their respective,
separate, grounded conduits.
This equipment may contain voltages as high as 1000 volts. Use extreme caution. Do not
touch any components, resistors, circuit boards, power devices, or electrical connections
without ensuring that high voltage is not present.
Environmental Considerations
•Keep the machine room clean.
•Controllers are generally in NEMA 1 enclosures.
•Do not install the controller in a dusty area.
•Do not install the controller in a carpeted area.
•Keep room temperature between 32 and 104 degrees F (0 to 40 degrees C).
•Prevent condensation on the equipment.
•Do not install the controller in a hazardous location or where excessive amounts of
vapors or chemical fumes may be present.
•Make certain that power line fluctuations are within plus or minus 10% of proper value.
Air Conditioned Equipment Cabinets
If your control or group enclosure is equipped with an air conditioning unit, it is very important
to observe the following precautions. (Failure to do so can result in moisture damage to electrical components.)
•Maintain the integrity of the cabinet by using sealed knockouts and sealing any holes
made during installation.
•Do not run the air conditioning while the cabinet doors are open.
•If you turn the air conditioner off while it is running, wait at least five minutes before
restarting it. Otherwise, the compressor may be damaged.
•Observe the recommended thermostat setting (75 degrees) and follow recommended
maintenance schedules.
•Make certain that the air conditioning drain tube remains clear to avoid water accumulation in the unit.

Landing System
The landing system is designed to be mounted on the car top. Landing systems used with the
Motion 2000 controller include the LS-QUTE, LS-STAN, and LS-EDGE.
LS-QUTE Landing System
The LS-QUTE is a tape-and-magnet-operated landing system. A three inch wide steel tape is
mounted in the hoistway. The cartop control box has a floating head that slides on the steel
tape, and magnetic sensors for slowdown, STU, STD, ISTU, ISTD, ULM(LU), DLM(LD) and
DZ. With LS-QUTE, the Motion 2000 is configured for absolute floor encoding.

LS-TAPE MNTBOT-EDGE
The LS-EDGE positioning system uses hall-effect sensors and perforated steel tape to report
position as the car moves through the hoistway. 5.5-inch magnets are used at each door zone.
The system uses capacitor-stored power and non-volatile memory to retain position information in the event of a power failure, continuing to capture information for 10 seconds after
power loss and storing the final reading for use after power restoration.
The LS-EDGE kit contains the sensor head assembly, an “L” bracket to mount the sensor
assembly to a uni-strut that is in turn attached to the elevator cab (uni-strut to elevator cab not
provided), steel tape, top and bottom steel tape hanger assemblies, the required number of door
zone magnets and terminal magnets, and the CAT-5 electrical cables required to connect the
sensor to the interface board.
Depending on applicable code, you may have to route electrical connections through conduit. If
so, we recommend minimum 3/4-inch flex so that the modular connectors can slide through
without binding. Perforations for cable tie wrap connection are provided on the RJ-45 plug-end
of the sensor head.
LS-EDGE allows most hoistway switches to exist virtually, in software, greatly simplifying
installation and adjustment.

1-12 Manual # 42-02-1P21
1
Inspection Operation
In inspection, a car operates at the set inspection speed using up and down buttons or momentary switches. The car will stop as soon as the buttons are released. Inspection operation may be
controlled from three locations. For safety purposes, locations have a priority:
• Top of car: When the cartop inspection switch input (INCT on the HC-CTL-2 board) is
active, operation from the controller or from the car panel is disabled.
• In-Car: In car inspection may be from built-in COP switches or from the optional handheld user interface. When the in-car inspection input (INCP on the HC-CTL-2 board) is
active, operation from the controller inspection station is disabled.
• Machine Room Inspection: Inspection operation using the switches in the elevator controller. Available only when cartop and/or in-car inspection is not active.
Cartop Inspection
In this mode, the car is operated by pushing the cartop UP or DOWN and ENABLE buttons
simultaneously. These buttons are generally provided through a third-party inspection station
wired to inspection operation inputs in the elevator controller. There will also be a key switch
that enables/disables inspection operation. In cartop inspection, doors will open (or close) if
both UP and DOWN buttons are pressed for more than two seconds while the car is in a door
zone.
Operating Mode Descriptions
Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the access floor
• Enable hoistway access operation using the in-car switch
• Move the car down until the access limit is opened
• Top access must prevent the car from moving down beyond the point where the crosshead is even with the hoistway entrance sill.
• Set the cartop switch to Inspection before stepping onto the cartop.
• Use ENABLE and UP or DOWN buttons to run the car from the cartop.
In Car Inspection
In this mode, the car is typically operated using a locked sub-panel in the COP that provides the
inspection key switch and direction buttons. Car doors will open (or close) if both UP and
DOWN buttons are pressed for more than two seconds while the car is in a door zone.
Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the desired floor.
• Place the car on in-car inspection.
• Press and hold both UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously to close the elevator doors.
• Use UP or DOWN buttons to run the car.

Machine Room Inspection
In this mode, the car is operated using switches on the
HC-CTL-2 (Control) board in the controller.
Mode Entry
• Place the car on Machine Room Inspection
(Mode Switch to INSP).
• Ensure that car and hoistway doors are closed and locked.
• Run the car using the ENABLE and UP or DOWN Directional switch positions.
Hoistway Access Inspection
In the inspection hierarchy, hoistway access operation priority is the same as machine room
inspection (in descending order: cartop, in-car, machine room/hoistway access). Hoistway
access operation allows workers to access the top and bottom of the car from designated floors.
In this mode, the car is brought to an access floor where a special key switch has been installed
that allows a worker to move the car up or down the hoistway.
Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the access floor
• Place the car on Machine Room Inspection
• Place the appropriate Car and Hoistway door bypass switches in the Bypass position
• Enable hoistway access operation using the in-car switch
• Move the car up (bottom access) or down (top access) until the access limit is opened
• Top access must prevent the car from moving down beyond the point where the crosshead is even with the hoistway entrance sill.
• Bottom access must prevent the car from moving up beyond the point where the bottom of the toe guard is even with the hoistway entrance header.
1-14 Manual # 42-02-1P21

Attendant Service Operation
Attendant operation allows an operator riding in the car to run the car, choosing run direction,
and which hall calls to answer. In this mode:
• Doors open automatically when the car is stopped in a door zone.
• The attendant closes the door by pressing and holding the door close button, a car call button, or either car direction (UP/DOWN) button (UPI/DNI input: Please refer to “Spare
Inputs Menu Options” on page 5-29.
• The attendant chooses the direction using run up (UNI) or down (DNI) buttons.
• The car will stop at the next car or hall call in the direction of travel. Holding the bypass
button (NSI input) in will cause hall calls to be bypassed until the button is released.
• The elevator will level into the destination floor automatically, then open its doors.
• In-car position indicators will light for floors at which there are active hall calls so that
they are visible to the attendant. The car will answer the calls unless the attendant is holding the bypass button (NSI).
• During Attendant operation, load weigher inputs are ignored.
Mode Entry
• Call the car to a floor.
• Enter the car and activate the Att endant mode ke y switch (enabl es the ATS, Atten dant Service, controller input).
Operating Mode Descriptions
Independent Service Operation
In this mode:
• Doors open automatically when the car is stopped in a door zone
• The operator presses and holds the door close button to close doors
• The operator chooses direction and initiates the run by placing car calls (first placed determines direction of run).
• The elevator will level into destination floors automatically and open its doors.
• Hall arrival lanterns or jamb mounted arrival lanterns are inoperative.
Mode Entry
• Call the car to a floor.
• Enter the car and activate the Independent mode key switch (IND input HC-CTL-2 board).

Motion 2000 TSSA Description
Sabbath Operation
Sabbath operation is a special mode that sets the car to consecutively service specified landings
(and openings if the car has front and rear doors) during up and down travel with no hall or car
call buttons being pressed. The car will begin from the bottom of the hoistway, travelling up and
stopping at each designated stop and opening its doors to allow exit or entry. When the doors
close, the car will travel to the next designated stop up the hoistway and repeat door operation.
This will continue until the car reaches the top designated stop, at which point it will travel
down the hoistway operating in the same manner.
• Initiate: Sabbath operation is initiated when the spare input SAB is activated.
• Operation: In accordance with the description above and servicing stops set through the
Sabbath Operation parameter in the Extra Features menu. Please refer to “Extra Features
Menu Options” on page 5-48.
Emergency Medical Operation
This mode complies to Massachusetts code. It allows a car to be recalled to a floor where it can
be boarded by medical personnel and placed in restricted service, using an in-car switch, to
respond to a medical emergency.
• Recall: Initiated using a key switch (EMSH input) at the floor assigned by the Massachusetts EMS Service/EMS Service Floor parameter in the Extra Features menu (single
switch, single floor).
• The car will immediately cancel all registered calls, return to the designated floor, and
open its doors.
• In-Car Medical: Medical personnel board the car and place it in hospital service using the
in-car switch (EMSC input).
• If the hall switch has been shut off, the car will wait sixty seconds then return to normal service if the in-car switch has not been activated.
• If the hall switch remains on, the car will wait without restriction until the in-car
switch is activated.
1-16 Manual # 42-02-1P21
1
Hospital Service Operation
Hospital service allows a car to be recalled to any of one or more assigned floors using a call button at the floor. Once at the floor, the car may be boarded by medical personnel and placed in
restricted service, using an in-car switch, to respond to a medical emergency.
• Recall: Floors and openings (if the car has front and rear doors) are designated as hospital
service through Hospital Emerg Operation parameters in the Extra Features Menu. Please
refer to “Extra Features Menu Options” on page 5-48. When a designated call button is
activated, the car will recall to the floor.
• The car will immediately cancel all registered calls, move to the call floor, and open its
doors.
• A Timer Menu function, Hospital Emergency Timer, allows a timer to be set for a
range of up to 10 minutes. After a car recalls to the designated floor, it will remain
there until the timer expires, after which it will return itself to automatic passenger
service if the in-car, hospital service switch has not been activated.
• Operation: Once the in-car switch (HOSP input assigned through the Spare Inputs Menu)
is activated, the car is in restricted service and will accept only calls assigned through the
car operating panel.
• When the in-car switch is deactivated, the car returns to normal service.
Operating Mode Descriptions
Fire Service Operation
There are many different fire codes that restrict or change elevator operation under fire conditions. Please refer to “Fire Service Menu Options ” on page 5-20. In general, fire service pro-
ceeds in two stages; Phase I Emergency Recall and Phase II Emergency In-Car Operation.
When a fire sensor or switch is activated:
• The elevator will recall to the designated main or alternate recall floor. (Main if fire
detected on any floor other than the main floor; Alternate if fire detected on the main
recall floor. Or, as directed by a manually activated Fire switch.)
• The elevator will open its doors to allow any passengers to exit, then remain at the recall
floor until the in-car firefighter switch is activated. Once the in-car switch is activated the
car will run on Fire Phase II operation as allowed by the selected fire code.
1-17
Motion 2000 TSSA Description
Emergency Power Operation
Emergency or standby power operation requires a backup power source. For large buildings,
this is typically a diesel or gasoline powered generator. When this is not practical, backup power
for a limited, rescue operation may be provided by a battery-powered system like the Reynolds
& Reynolds Powervator EPS.
Generator Backup
When power is lost, the elevator will come to a full stop. When emergency/backup power comes
on line, the elevator will be moved to a designated recall floor and the doors will open to allow
passengers to exit. The elevator will remain at the recall floor unless it is designated to run
under generator power. Please refer to “Extra Features Menu Options” on page 5-48.
EPS Backup
When power is lost, the elevator will come to a full stop. When battery power becomes available,
the EXMLT input is activated and the elevator will be moved to the bottom floor. At the floor,
the doors will cycle, allowing passengers to exit, and then close. The car will remain out of service until commercial power is again available.
Car Recall
Inputs may be provided to allow the car to be recalled to a specified floor.
• CTF: Car To Floor - This is a “spare” input that may be assigned to the HC-CTL-2 board or
to a Universal I/O board as configured for the job. The floor to which the car is returned is
set by the Car to Floor Return Floor parameter in the Extra Features menu. Please refer to
“Extra Features Menu Options” on page 5-48.
• When activated, causes the car to stop responding to hall calls. Existing car calls will be
serviced. New car calls will not be registered.
• When existing calls have been serviced, the car will move to the return floor, open then
close its doors, and remove itself from service.
• CTL: Car to Lobby - This is a “spare” input that may be assigned to the HC-CTL-2 board or
to a Universal I/O board as configured for the job. The floor to which the car is returned is
set using the Lobby Floor parameter in the Basic Features menu. Please refer to “Basic
Feature Menu Options” on page 5-17.
• When activated, causes the car to stop responding to hall calls. Existing car calls will be
serviced. New car calls will not be registered.
• When existing calls have been serviced, the car will move to the return floor, open then
close its doors, and remove itself from service.
1-18 Manual # 42-02-1P21

Capture for Test (Pretest)
Pretest is used to capture the car in preparation to using Test mode.
• When this input is activated, the car will stop responding to hall calls and disable its gongs
but continue to service car calls.
• The intent of the input is to allow maintenance personnel to capture the car while causing
as little disruption to service as possible.
• Enter Pretest mode by placing the TEST/NORMAL/PRETEST switch on the HC-CTL-2
board in the PRETEST position. (The car will not enter Pretest if Inspection is active.)
Test Mode
Test mode allows the car to be run without operating the doors. When Test mode is active, door
open circuitry is deactivated.
• Enter Test mode by placing the TEST/NORMAL switch on the HC-CTL-2 board in the
TEST position. (The car will not enter Test mode if Inspection is active.)
• When Test mode is active, the controller LCD will display TEST MODE.

Motion 2000 TSSA Description
Monitoring and Control Options
Motion 2000 is Ethernet ready, allowing it to use iMonitor and iReport applications for local
and/or distance monitoring and control (iMonitor) or report generation, archival, and automated alert (iReport). Motion 2000 can also be linked to Building Management System software through MCE BMS-Link, providing system visibility and limited control.
iMonitor
iMonitor is an elevator monitoring application that allows local or remote viewing and control
of MCE elevator groups using a personal computer running the Windows XP operating system.
Because Motion 2000 controls are Ethernet capable, you can connect to them though a local
area network or remotely through internet/modem technology.
iMonitor provides a graphical representation of elevator groups, allowing their activity and status to be quickly and easily viewed. The user defines any number of “Connection Sets.” Each
Connection Set consists of up to fifty connections to elevator group dispatchers selected by the
user.
When working in iMonitor, the user simply clicks on a Connection Set which automatically
establishes communication with all groups in the set and displays their associated hoistways
and cars on the computer screen. Practical viewing limits are established by the speed of the
connections and the size of the monitor viewing area.
When connected through iMonitor, the user may register car and general, auxiliary, or special
hall calls as desired, control many group security functions, and enable or disable certain elevator operating modes.
iReport
iReport is a system logging and report generating tool that allows local or remote analysis of
MCE elevator groups from a personal computer running the Windows XP operating system and
iReport client software. Because Motion 2000 controls are Ethernet capable, you can use iReport to connect to them through a local area network or remotely through internet/modem
technology.
iReport consists of the iReport server and iReport clients. Motion 2000 group dispatchers may
be connected to iReport directly through a local area network or they may be connected
remotely through a DSL or other high-speed connection and the internet. The group dispatch er
provides iReport with hall call and car operating mode information. The individual car controllers provide iReport with event and fault notifications.

Installation
Safety Precautions
Certain fundamental warnings must be kept in mind at all times to help avoid severe personal
injury or equipment damage.
Personal Safety
• Motion 2000 Controllers should only be installed by qualified, licensed, trained elevator
personnel familiar with the operation of microprocessor-based elevator controls.
• Verify that all safety devices (limits, hoistway locks, car gate, etc.) are fully functional
before attempting to run the elevator. Never operate Motion 2000 controls with any safety
device inoperative.
• The user is responsible for complying with the current National Electrical Code with
respect to the overall installation of equipment and for proper sizing of electrical conductors connected to the controls.
• The user is responsible for understanding and applying all current local, state, provincial,
and federal codes that govern practices such as controller placement, applicability, wiring
protection, disconnections, over current protection, and grounding procedures.
• Controller equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected.
• After AC power has been removed, internal capacitors can remain charged for up to 5 minutes. Wait at least 5 minutes after power down before touching any internal components.
• To prevent the risk of shock, all equipment should be securely grounded to earth ground
with a minimum of #8 AWG wire as outlined in the National Electrical Code. Failure to
obtain an actual earth ground may result in electrical shock to personnel and/or improper
operation of the equipment.
• When using test equipment (oscilloscopes, etc.) with a power cord that electrically ties
probe common to earth ground, an isolation transformer should be used to isolate the
instrument common from earth ground.
• Remain clear of all rotating equipment while working on the controls.
Equipment Safety
• All equipment should be securely grounded to earth ground with a minimum of #8 AWG
wire as outlined in the National Electrical Code. Failure to obtain a true earth ground may
result in electrical shock. Improper grounding is the most common cause of electrical
component failure and noise-induced problems.
• Replace components only with main line power off. Damage to equipment or unexpected
operation of the elevator may occur if this precaution is not observed.
• Substitution of parts or unauthorized modifications should not be attempted before first
contacting Motion Control Engineering to ensure all safety features are maintained. MCE
will not be held responsible for circuit modifications made in the field unless they are
approved in writing by MCE.
• Circuit boards believed to be defective must be sent to MCE for repair and testing. Field
repair may leave the board with undetected problems.
• Care should be taken when using test leads and jumpers to avoid shorting high voltage or
ground to low voltage microprocessor circuits.
2-2 Manual # 42-02-1P21
2
Installation Considerations
1.Dust, carbon, or metallic particles should not be allowed to accumulate on any part of
the control.
2. Avoid vibration and shock.
3. Avoid rapid temperature change, high humidities, high ambient temperatures.
4. Avoid caustic fumes.
5. Prevent electromagnetic interference. This may be caused by radio transmitters, high
voltage inductive spikes from unsuppressed relay coils, improper grounding, and
improper wiring practices. The following should be noted:
• The outer door will protect against interference only if closed. When the door is open,
do not run high wattage radios next to the microprocessor.
• Noise from door operator reactors can cause a problem if mounted on the controller.
• Standard arc suppressors (resistor/capacitor networks) are used on AC relays. Diode/
resistor combinations work well for DC relays. Consult Motion Control Engineering for
proper component sizing.
Machine Room Preparation
Installation Considerations
When choosing equipment location, consider:
• Adequate working space for comfort and efficiency and a good working space such as a
workbench or table.
• Logical arrangement, taking into consideration other equipment in the machine room and
electrical power.
• Do not install equipment in a hazardous location.
• A telephone in the machine room facilitates remote diagnostic and adjustment assistance.
• If any areas in the machine room are subject to vibration, they should be avoided or reinforced to prevent equipment damage.
• Provide adequate lighting to work with control cabinets and machines.
• Wiring is reduced if the drive isolation transformer (if used) is located near the controller.
Environmental conditions are important:
• Ambient temperature should remain within 32
Temperatures outside these guidelines may be tolerated, but will shorten equipment life.
Adequate ventilation is required. Air conditioning may be necessary.
• The air in the machine room should be free of excessive dust, corrosive elements, and
excessive moisture. A NEMA 4 or NEMA 12 enclosure can help meet these requirements if
machine room conditions are inadequate. If the machine room has open or unglazed windows or other direct outside openings, place equipment cabinets far enough from them so
that severe weather does not damage the equipment.
• Very high levels of radio frequency (RF) radiation from nearby sources should be avoided.
RFI may interfere with controller components, degrading elevator performance. Using
hand-held communication devices close to the controller may also cause interference.
Interference from permanently installed radio transmitting antennas is not common.
• Power line fluctuation should not be greater than ±10%.
to 104 Fahrenheit (0 to 40 Celsius).

Installation
Piping and Wiring
Proper routing of signal and power wires for the car and dispatcher is essen tial to trouble free
installation of microprocessor based equipment. Low voltage and high voltage wiring cannot be
run in the same conduit, duct, or tray.
How Electrical Noise Occurs
Electrical noise occurs in most cases when two wires run along side one another with one of
them a high power conductor and the other a low signal level conductor. As current flows
through the high power wire, magnetic lines of flux (voltage) expand outwards around the outside of the wire and voltage from the magnetic lines of flux is induced in the low level conductor.
The low level conductor, in the case of Motion 2000, may be a 24-volt input that really only
needs to see 12 volts to turn on. If the voltage induced from the high power conductor is large
enough to induce a 12-volt spike, the input can falsely turn on.
How to Avoid Electrical Noise Problems
The easiest way to avoid noise problems is to properly route high and low level signal wiring.
Keep low level wiring in separate conduit from high power wiring. If high and low power wiring
must be run in the same duct, separate them by a minimum of three to four inches. If one must
cross the other, it should be at a ninety degree angle.
A second way to protect against electrical noise problems is to run low level wiring in shielded
cable. The shield provides a conductor external to the actual signal wiring to collect any induced
voltage from surrounding high power wiring. The shield or “drain”, as it is often referred to,
must be connected to ground at one end. The shield or “drain” should never be connected to
ground at both ends.
Possible EMI/RFI Interference
The main source of EMI/RFI problems is semiconductor devices that switch at high frequencies
(such as variable frequency drives). The following wiring practices should be followed when
piping and wiring high voltage lines to avoid EMI problems:
1.Run all motor leads in a separate conduit. All motor lead runs should be as short as possible. Control cabinet entry should be as close to the final termination point as possible.
2. Run main line supply leads in a separate conduit.
3. Run all primary isolation transformer wiring in separate conduit from the main line to
the transformer.
4. Run all secondary isolation transformer wiring in a separate conduit from the transformer to the drive cabinet.
5. A single-point ground should be established inside the control cabinet and a #8 AWG
ground wire run directly from each of the following devices to this single point:
• Earth Ground from running water supply, Motion 2000-electric supplied ground, or a
ground supplied via an earthing rod to the single ground stud.
• Continuous wire from the main line disconnect to the single ground stud.
• Continuous wire from the motor frame to the single ground stud.
• Continuous wire from the isolation transformer frame to the single ground stud.
• Continuous wire from the line filter frame to the single-point ground stud.
2-4 Manual # 42-02-1P21
2
• Jumper the “N” stud on the line filter to the line filter frame.
Note
• Continuous wire from the load reactor frame to the single-point ground stud.
• Continuous wire from the drive frame ground stud to the single-point ground stud.
Recommended Tools and Test Equipment
For proper installation, use the following tools and test equipment:
• A digital multimeter, Fluke series 75, 76, 77 or equivalent
• A hand-held tachometer
•A clamp-on AC ammeter
• Hand-held radios
•A telephone
•Test weights
• Pressure gauge
• Soldering tools, a flashlight and an MCE screwdriver (provided with controller).

Controller Installation
Caution
Note
Caution
Mount the controller securely to the machine room wall or other appropriate location and
knock out holes to install a raceway or conduit to permit the routing of wires into the cabinet.
Note that the standard MCE control cabinet does not require rear access.
Do not allow any metal chips or drill shavings to fall into the electronics.
Controller Wiring Guidelines
Detailed instructions for connecting the Motion 2000 controller and accompanying components are contained in the drawings package for the job. During the job survey, site-specific
information collected is used to engineer the drawings package. Contact Motion Control Engineering immediately if you have questions about the drawings or need additional assistance.
Controller Installation
Pay very close attention to the hierarchy of the inspection inputs. In order to maintain safe
operation of the lift while on access, car top or in-car inspection, the inspection circuits must be
wired as shown in the prints.
PC boards can be easily damaged by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Use a properly
grounded wrist strap when touching the PC boards. Do not touch PC Boards unless
you are properly grounded
1.Bring wires in from a location that allows the use of the wiring duct inside the controller
to route the wires. The terminals are found conveniently near wiring ducts.
2. When connecting wires to the controller, connect the wires according to the hoistway
and car wiring diagrams.
3.If the car is part of a duplex or group system, there are a number of details relating to the
wiring of the interconnects between the individual cars. They are as follows:
• A separate conduit or wiring trough must be provided for the external CAN connections between the computers in each controller cabinet.
• The wiring details for the communication link are fully detailed in the job prints.
• Make sure to ground all of the cabinets according to the section titled Ground Wiring.
Please refer to “Ground Wiring ” on page 2-9.

Installation
General Wiring Guidelines
Basic wiring practices and grounding requirements are discussed in this section.
Proper Grounding Procedures
A proper ground is essential to trouble free operation. Ground is defined as a direct connection
to EARTH GROUND. This type of ground is not always available from the electrical supply
panel.
The electrical conduit is not a sufficient ground for the system. Electrical ground should be
obtained and certified from the electrical contractor. If this is not available, keep the following
in mind when seeking an adequate connection to EARTH GROUND:
1.Building steel is not always earth ground. In most cases, building beams rest on concrete
beam pockets, and the earth connection is inadequate.
2. Sprinkler system water pipe is not
cases, isolated from a free flowing earth water source.
If either of the two methods above are chosen for ground, and a true electrical ground is later
introduced to the system, a difference in potential can occur between the assumed ground and
the actual earth ground. This may lead to unsafe operating conditions and the possibility of
electrical shock to passengers or personnel.
adequate because the sprinkler system is, in most
3. A water pipe is an adequate ground only if the water in the pipe is connected to a continuous city water source.
Wiring Connections for Properly Grounded Systems
1.An uninterrupted ground wire of at least #8 AWG should be run from each car controller cabinet chassis or back plate to earth ground. The connection at the car controller
must be free of paint so the ground connection is made to the bare metal of the enclosure. The car controller should read less than 1-ohm to ground with the power off.
2. Ground straps, or short loops of ground wire, should be run from the controller ground
connection to the primary duct connections.
3. An uninterrupted #8 AWG ground wire should be run from the hoist motor frame to the
controller ground. The ground connection to the hoist motor must be free of paint.
4. An uninterrupted ground wire of minimum #14 AWG should be run from a termination
point on the cab to the controller ground.
5. An uninterrupted ground wire should be run from the cab enclosure to the ground terminal on the cab to protect passengers and personnel from electrical shock.
6. An uninterrupted ground wire should be run from each car operating panel to the
ground terminal on the cab to protect passengers and personnel from electrical shock.
7. An uninterrupted ground wire should be run from the dispatch cabinet chassis or back
plate to earth ground. The connection at the dispatch cabinet must be free of paint so
the ground connection is made to the bare metal of the enclosure.
2-8 Manual # 42-02-1P21

Ground Wiring
To obtain proper grounding, quality wiring materials and methods should be used.
All grounding in the elevator system must conform to all applicable codes. Proper grounding is
essential for system safety and helps to reduce noise-induced problems. The following are some
grounding guidelines:
• The grounding wire to the equipment cabinet should be as large as, or larger than, the primary AC power feeders for the controller and should be as short as possible.
• The grounding between equipment cabinets may be branching or a daisy chain, but the
wire must terminate at the last controller and NOT loop back (see Figure 2.1).
Figure 2.1 Ground Wiring to Controller Cabinets
General Wiring Guidelines
• Direct solid grounding must be provided in the machine room to properly ground the controller and the motor. Indirect grounding, such as the building structure or a water pipe,
may not provide proper grounding and could act as an antenna radiating RFI noise, thus,
disturbing sensitive equipment in the building. Improper grounding may also render an
RFI filter ineffective.
• The conduit containing the AC power feeders must not be used for grounding.
Main AC Power
Main AC power supply wiring size must be determined by the electrical contractor. Proper
motor branch circuit protection must be provided according to applicable electrical codes in the
form of a fused disconnect or circuit breaker. Each disconnect or breaker must be clearly
labeled with the elevator number.
Pump Motor Wiring
Connect the pump motor for the proper configuration shown on the wiring diagrams. Connect
the pump motor leads to the proper terminals on the controller.
2-9
Installation
Low Voltage Signal Wiring
Low voltage signal wiring includes all 24-volt inputs. The inputs on the I/O boards can be
turned on with as little as 12 Vac. If the signal wires are run along side the 240 Vdc door operator wiring, an induced 12-volt spike is very likely to occur. Keep low level signal wiring at least
four inches from high power wiring to avoid false signal firing. If this is not possible, and the
low level wiring must cross the high power wiring, the two should cross at a ninety-degree
angle.
Traveling Cable Wiring
When laying out traveling cable wiring, it is always best to have the low voltage signal wiring
multiple layers away from any 14-18 AWG power wires and high voltage signal wires.
The number of required wires and twisted pairs is documented in the job prints. The travelers
are also identified by the use of yellow te rminals in the top of the car j unction bo x. Always al low
10% or more additional wires for spares.
On lower rise cars, it is often beneficial to run the traveling cable directly to the top of the car
junction box. This avoids terminating traveler wires at the midway and at the under-car junction box.

Startup - Inspection Operation
Note
Note
Check for Shorts to Ground
Check for shorts to ground before powering up the system. Set the meter for resistance measurement (100 to 200 ohm range). Take all measurements with respect to the 1 -bus, which is
also referred to as the system common or common elsewhere in this manual.
A short to ground is defined as having a resistance of less than 20 ohms between the 1-bus
(common) and the terminal being checked.
1.Remove fuse F2 from the fuse holder in the individual car controller cabinet. If the system is a duplex controller, refer to the job prints and remove the fuse that powers terminals 2H (Hall Call Power Bus) and/or 2FS (Fire Service Bus). Check for shorts to ground
on the 2H and/or 2FS terminals.
2. Check for shorts to the ground on all screw terminals on the bottom of the HC-CTL-2
Control board. Terminal 1 bus is the only terminal that should be grounded.
3. Check for shorts to ground on all terminals on the HC-UIO Universal I/O board.
4. Check for shorts to ground on the door operator terminals. Consult the job prints to
determine which fuses to remove.
Before Applying Power
These instructions assume adequate electrical troubleshooting experience. Follow the procedure carefully. If the elevator does not respond correctly, check the circuits according to your
ability. Proceed cautiously. Read these instructions fully to become familiar with the procedure
before starting the work.
1.Unplug the screw terminal blocks from the HC-UIO Universal I/O boards by moving the
blocks toward the right. This is done to avoid damaging the boards through an accidental shorting of the output devices to a power buses (terminals 2, 2S, or 2L) during the
initial power up of the system.
2. Verify that all circuits are wired to the controller properly.
3. On the HC-CTL-2 Control board, verify that the MACHINE ROOM INSPECTION MODE switch is in the INSP position.
4. On the HC-CTL-2 Control board, verify that the Hoistway Door and Car Door Bypass
switches are in the OFF position.
5. Verify that the Main Line Power Supply voltage matches the controller’s designed voltage. Refer to the job prints provided with the controller and the silver label on the solid
state starter (if used).

Applying Power
Note
Initial Adjustments and Power Phasing
When performing the following steps please exercise extreme caution to prevent personal
injury or damage to components and equipment. Have someone stand by the main power disconnect switch during the following phases of the start up procedure for added safety:
• First time power is applied to the controller
• First time an attempt is made to move the car
1.Check the line side of the Main Power Disconnect switch to verify that all three legs are
at the correct voltage.
2. Reinstall fuse F2 to enable the primary controller relay voltage.
Verify Proper Pump Motor Rotation
1. Verify that the pump motor wiring has been installed per the job prints.
2. Turn ON power to the controller by closing the Main Power Disconnect switch.
3. Check the pump motor rotation using the method that is appropriate for the type of
starter installed on the controller:
• Solid State Starter: Take a jumper from 2 bus and briefly apply it to the “motor run”
screw terminal on the solid state starter and observe the motor rotation.
• Y-Delta contactor: Activate the Y contactor and observe motor rotation.
• Across the line (ATL) contactor: Activate the A contactor and observe motor rota-
tion.
4. Faults may occur while performing this operation. To clear latching faults, place the car
on Machine Room Inspection and press the FAULT RESET button on the HC-CTL Control board.
5. If the motor rotation is reversed, switch any two of the three leads at the Main Disconnect switch.
6. If an RP (Reverse Phase) sensor is provided and the sensor contact does not close when
power is applied to the controller (indicated by a light on the sensor that comes on when
phase rotation is correct), then 2 of the 3 AC wires that are connected to the RP sensor
may need to be switched.
7. To provide an immediate stop once direction is released, set the SOFT STOP TIMER
option on the ASME A17.1-2000 FEATURES menu to NONE (see “SOFT-STOP TIMER”
on page 5-54).
Applying Power
The HIGH SPEED INSPECTION option determines if the car will run at high or low speed on
In-car, Cartop, or Machine Room Inspection or Hoistway Access (see “HIGH SPEED INSPEC-
TION” on page 5-66. If the car contract speed is greater than 150 fpm, the HIGH SPEED
INSPECTION option should be set to DISABLED.

• SAFH, SAFC, ESC: Hoistway and car safety devices. Connecting 2 bus to these terminals
(as described in Table 3.1) will cause relay SAFS on the HC-CTL-2 board to pick and light
the SAFS indicator (provided no safety-dropping faults are present).
• GS, DLAB: Door locks. (GSR, DLABR: Rear door logic and door locks.) Connecting 2 bus
to these terminals will cause relay SAFL on the HC-CTL-2 board to pick and light the SAFL
indicator (when direction has been established). The DLK indicator on the HC-MPU board
will turn ON (provided that no safety-dropping faults are present).
• TO2: Thermal overload protection. Connecting TO1 to TO2, as specified on the job prints,
will clear the OLM INPUT IS LOW fault (Overload monitor). When this fault is present the
car can only move down.

Hoistway Control Equipment Installation
This section covers the recommended procedures for installing the LS-QUTE or LS-EDGE landing systems.
Installing the LS-QUTE Landing System
Refer to the installation drawings for additional information.
Installing the LS-QUTE Landing System Control Box
Refer to the drawings in the job prints.
• The location for the landing system box should have already been selected.
• Holes are available on both sides and on the bottom of the landing system box for mounting to any support brackets or structural channels. The mounting of the box should be very
firm and solid so that knocking it out of alignment would be difficult. Use 1/4-20 hardware.
• To install the tape into the tape guides on the LS-QUTE landing system box, remove the 2
thumbscrews on the 2 guide assemblies, insert the tape and reinstall the guides and
thumbscrews (tighten firmly). If the installation has the LS-QUTE car top selector with the
additional sensor bracket on the rear of the tape, first remove the three 8-32 screws holding the protective 1" wide channel. This channel covers the back of the Door Zone sensors
on the upper tape guide bracket. Remove the single standoff that is in the way of the
thumbscrew holding the tape guide. Remove the thumbscrews holding the upper and
lower tape guides, insert the tape, and reinstall the guides with the thumbscrews (tighten
firmly). Reinstall the standoff (do not over-tighten) and the protective channel.
• After inserting the steel tape into the tape guides, check the location of the landing system
box. The car should be at the top of the hoistway to make it easier to see if the alignment is
causing any stress or binding on the tape guides. Make sure that the box is vertical and
plumb with the tape. This allows for easy tape movement and avoids excessive wear on the
tape guides (using a level is helpful). Be careful so as to avoid premature failure of the tape
guides.
• Move the elevator to the top and bottom of the hoistway to check for smooth tape movement and to make sure that there is no excessive pressure on the tape guides. Correct any
problems immediately.
3-9
Startup - Inspection Operation
Installing the Magnetic Strips on LS-QUTE Steel Tape
Carefully, read and follow the Magnet Installation instructions in the job prints, but read the
rest of these instructions before proceeding.
1.Before installing the magnets, clean the steel tape thoroughly with an appropriate solvent. No oil should be left on the tape as it will interfere with the adhesive backing on the
magnets.
2. There are normally five lanes of magnets installed on the side of the tape facing the car.
One lane consists of only the LU/DZ/DZX/LD and requires that a 6-inch magnet be
installed at each floor. The other lanes have magnets which initiate slow downs or act as
Absolute Floor Encoding (AFE) set points.
3. If the installation has rear doors, it may have an LS-QUTE landing system which has
additional Door Zone sensors on the rear of the upper tape guide assembly. Follow the
Magnet Installation instructions in the job prints and install the front and rear Door
Zone magnets on the steel tape as shown.
Installing the LS-QUTE Hoistway Limit Switches
• The terminal landing slowdown switches should be installed and adjusted to open approximately one inch beyond the point where a normal slowdown (STU/STD) is initiated.
• The direction limit switches should be installed and adjusted to open approximately one
inch beyond the terminal landings.
• The emergency terminal slowdown switch (if required) should open after the direction
limit is open, but before striking the stop ring. Install and adjust the switch where it will
not interfere with Inspection or Automatic operation while leveling or releveling. It must
also be adjusted to achieve the required operation according to the applicable elevator
code.
• Ensure that the cam that operates the slowdown and limit switches maintains the terminal
slowdown switch open until the direction limit switch and emergency terminal slowdown
switches (if required) are open.
• Ensure that the terminal slowdown, direction limit and emergency terminal slowdown
switches are held open for the entire run-by or over-travel of the elevator.
• The hoistway access limit switch (if required) should be installed and adjusted to open and
stop the elevator (in the down direction) when the top of the elevator is approximately
level with the top landing (when the top hoistway access switch is activated while on
Access or Inspection operation).

LS-TAPE MNTBOT-EDGE
The LS-EDGE positioning system uses hall-effect sensors and perforated steel tape to report
position as the car moves through the hoistway. 5.5-inch magnets are used at each door zone;
one row for front openings, a second for rear openings. LS-EDGE is also available in a NEMA
4x/12 configuration that uses stainless steel hoistway materials and a sealed sensor head.
The system uses capacitor-stored power and non-volatile memory to retain position information in the event of a power failure, continuing to capture information for 10 seconds after
power loss and storing the final reading for use after power restoration. The LS-EDGE system
may be used with MCE iControl, Motion, or Element elevator controls.
The LS-EDGE kit contains the sensor head assembly, an “L” bracket to mount the sensor
assembly to a uni-strut that is in turn attached to the elevator cab (uni-strut to elevator cab not
provided), steel tape, top and bottom steel tape hanger assemblies, the required number of door
zone magnets, and the CAT-5 electrical cables required to connect the sensor to the interface
board.
Depending on applicable code, you may have to route electrical connections through conduit. If
so, we recommend minimum 3/4-inch flex so that the modular connectors can slide through
without binding. Perforations for cable tie wrap connection are provided on the RJ-45 plug-end
of the sensor head.

LS-EDGE Tape Installation
Before installing perforated tape, ensure adequate clearance from beams, walls, counterweight,
cab, and terminal limit devices. Make sure the sensor is not placed so close to the governor lift
arm that, when the car safeties are activated, the sensor is damaged or the car safeties cannot
apply.
• Hang the tape high enough in the hoistway so that, when the counterweight is on a fully
compressed buffer, the sensor assembly will not be damaged by overhead obstructions.
Uni-struts are provided to attach the tape to the rails.
• Attach the tape in the pit low enough so that, when the car is on fully compressed buffer,
the sensor assembly does not contact the bottom hanger assembly.
• Adjust tape spring tension so the tape does not make noise as the car travels up.
• During installation, the edges of the tape sometimes become gouged. After the tape is
installed, use a fine file on the edges of the tape to remove any burrs or gouges. This will
lead to much quieter operation of the encoder system as the car travels at contract speed.
• After smoothing the edges, wipe off all excess oil and dirt from the face of the tape before
installing magnets. Do not use rags that will leave lint on the tape.
LS-EDGE Top Hanger Assembly

LS-EDGE Bottom Hanger Assembly
The bottom hanger provides tension to minimize vibration while allowing expansion/contraction across seasonal temperature ranges. Ensure that the tape to rail edge measurement
matches that recorded for the top hanger so that the car tracks the tape accurately. Do not use a
plumb in case the rail stack is not exactly aligned. The scale values are provided as a guideline
only. They are not calibrated. Adjust to suit the installation.

LS-EDGE Broken Tape Switch
The normally closed contacts on the Broken Tape Switch are used to detect a broken tape condition. The switch is mounted backwards for protection during shipment. Remove it and mount it
as shown in page 3-13. Position the switch so that the cam on the tensioner activates (opens) the
switch when the tensioner is at the bottom of its travel (no tension). Note that switch position
should be adjusted so that the switch is activated by the cam but not so close that the switch is
held against its mechanical stops. The switch closes at approximately 50% of travel.
Hanging the Tape
Work from the cartop to hang the tape from the top hanger and allow it to unroll slowly as you
move the car down the hoistway. It is best to allow the tape to hang and straighten for at least
24-hours before attaching it to the bottom hanger.
Tape Tension The tape is tensioned according to compression of the bottom tape mount
spring. The tension gauge provides visual indication of low, medium, and high tension positions. Short runs, up to five floors will generally be acceptable at the low tension position. Runs
to 15 floors will generally be acceptable at the medium tension position. Longer runs may
require the high tension position but you should start out with the medium setting first.
Tape tension is intended to reduce noise caused by tape vibration at contract speed. Generally,
you want to use the lowest tension setting that maintains a quiet tape at contract speed.
LS-EDGE Sensor Installation
Tape guide side pieces easily detach so the sensor can be slipped onto the steel tape.

Sensor Alignment After the tape has been installed, check the sensor alignment. The
sensor should not ride hard on either side of the uni-strut bracket during any part of travel
through the hoistway. In high-rise buildings, if rail alignment varies substantially, it may cause
the encoder guides to wear prematurely. If such misalignment is noted, the installation should
be inspected more regularly.

Hoistway Learn Operation
After installing the leveling and terminal magnets and setting step up/step down distances, you
will need to perform a learn operation to learn floor and “switch” positions. If floor level magnets have not been positioned accurately enough, any offset can be adjusted in software (+/- 1
inch).
1. Place the car on Inspection operation.
2. Move the car to the bottom terminal.
3. Set the F6 function switch in the UP/ON position.
4. The LCD will display HOISTWAY LEARN, PRESS S.
5. Press S to initiate learn.
6. Place car on TEST mode. Shut off INSPECTION. Follow instructions on the LCD.
Synopsis As you follow the instructions on the LCD, the car will first travel down to the
bottom terminal then move up to locate the center of the door zone magnet. From the bottom
terminal, the car will move up the hoistway finding each door zone and indicating the height in
inches of each door zone magnet center (Front and/or Rear as appropriate). Upon reaching the
top terminal, the LCD will report hoistway information stored and offer the option to press N if
you are Done or S if you want to restart the learn operation.
7. Press N when hoistway learn reports complete to exit the operation.
8. Place F6 in the Down position.
Adjusting Floor Heights
Motion 2000 allows the door zone heights to be individually adjusted in 0.10 inch increme nts
to compensate for magnet placement irregularity up to a maximum +/- 0.9 inches for LSEDGE. Stored floor heights may be accessed through the F7 menu (first 32 parameters) and the
height of each floor individually adjusted at any time.
1.Place the car on Inspection, enter the F7 menu (F7 up, all other switches down).
2. Press N to advance to the desired parameter.
3. Use “+” or “-” buttons to adjust the height of the floor.
4. Place F7 in the down position.
Initial Stepping Distances
The initial settings for the run up and run down stepping distances were set at the factory.
When running up to a floor, the floors Step Up position forces the elevator to drop high speed.
When running down to a floor, the floors Step Dn position performs the same function. These
settings can be verified or adjusted through the F7 parameters #209 + Step Dn“x” and 210 +
Step Up“x”.
Door Position Monitor Switch (If used)
If you are in a jurisdiction where ASME A17.1 - 1996 or later is being enforced, Door Position
Monitor switch(es) connected to the DPM and/or DPMR inputs must be added to monitor the
position of the closed doors. This must be a separate physical limit switch that makes up
approximately 1 to 2 inches before the doors lock. Please refer to the DOOR POSITION MONITOR and DOOR CLOSE LIMITS options on page 5-55.

LS-EDGE Short Floors
Note
A landing that is too close to an adjacent landing such that, on a one-floor run, the car fails to
reach contract speed before reaching the stepping (Step Up/Dn) distance for the destination
floor is termed a “short floor” (see figure below). If the regular Step Up/Dn distance were used,
the car would slow to leveling speed too soon and would be required to travel at leveling speed
longer than desired. Therefore, an alternate stepping distance is provided (Sub-Step Up/Dn).
When F7 parameter #208 (Stepping System) is set to “Dual”, the Sub-Step Up/Dn distance is
used for a one floor run to any floor for which the Sub-Step Up/Dn parameters are not set to
zero (0.0). When the destination floor is a terminal landing, an additional hardware cam operated switch (Short Floor Sw) is used as backup to ensure that stepping takes place.
Figure 3.11 Regular Floor Run vs. Short Floor Run
Hoistway Learn Operation
The ideal Sub-Step Up/Dn distances must be determined by trial and error. The Short Floor
switch should be positioned a little closer to the terminal landing than the Sub-Step Up/Dn distance.
Door Zone Verification
Following the hoistway learn process, starting at the top floor, move the car down on inspection
and verify that the door zone indicators (e.g., LEDs, relays, diagnostic status, etc.) activate only
at the appropriate locations at the landings (i.e., +/- 75 mm or 3”) and nowhere else. Be sure to
check rear door zones as well, where applicable.
Permanently Attach Magnets
Once the hoistway has been successfully learned and door zone magnet placement is satisfactory, you may “lock” the magnets in place by placing a drop of silicone adhesive immediately
above the top end and immediately below the bottom end of each magnet.

Final Adjustment
Note
Diagnostic Messages and Input/Output Signals
To speed up final adjustment and troubleshooting, become familiar with the Status and Error
Messages (see “Status and Error Messages” on page 6-3) and Input/Output signals (see “Alpha-
betized Flags/Variables and Their Locations” on page 5-9).
It will also be helpful to become familiar with the Motion 2000 Controller’s computer (see “The
HC-MPU Main Processor Unit” on page 5-2) and Diagnostic Mode (see “Diagnostic Mode” on
page 5-6).
Onboard Diagnostics
Status LEDs - The Motion 2000 controller boards (HC-CTL-2, HC-MPU, HC-DVR) are
equipped with diagnostic LED's, which provide visual information regarding the computer's
inputs and outputs. A listing of the indicators on each board can be found in PC Board Quick
References (see “PC Board Quick References” on page 6-37).
LCD Display - When the Motion 2000 Hydraulic Controller’s computer (HC-MPU) is in the
DIAGNOSTIC MODE, with switches F1 - F8 in the down position, the LCD display provides a
description of normal and abnormal conditions. When the LCD displays NORMAL, in the car
status field, the system is ready for normal operation. A complete listing of the status and error
messages, their meaning, probable cause and needed response are found in the Status and
Error Messages table (see “Status and Error Messages” on page 6-3).
The computer displays abnormal conditions in the same priority that the computer evaluates
them. For example, if the safety circuit is open and the system is also on Fire Service, the computer will first show that the safety circuit is open and will expect this problem to be corrected
first. When the safety circuit problem has been corrected and the computer has recognized the
safety input, the diagnostics will then show the Fire Service indication. After successfully bringing in the Fire Service input and Fire Service Reset, the computer will then show NORMAL on
the LCD display, provided that the system is not on some other function such as Independent
Service or Cartop Inspection operation. The display will show NORMAL only if everything is
normal. If the LCD display is showing any other message, an abnormal condition exists.
Absolute Floor Encoding
Absolute floor encoding allows the controller to read encoding vanes or magnets at each landing and thereby identify the floor. Note: Absolute floor encoding does not apply to LS-EDGE.
With absolute floor encoding, the behavior of the car when power is turned ON is as follows:
• If the car is not at a landing when power is turned ON, the controller will generate a
Down/Up direction command and the car will move toward the closest landing, provided
that all abnormal conditions have been corrected. When the car reaches a landing and is
within the Door Zone (diagnostic LED DZF is On) with leveling completed (diagnostic
LEDs ULM and DLM are Off) the controller reads the floor code vanes or magnets and
corrects the Position Indicator. If the car is on Automatic Operation, and if a home floor
has been designated, the car will move to the home landing at this time.
• If the car is at a landing, within the Door Zone (diagnostic LED DZF is On) with leveling
completed (diagnostic LEDs ULM and DLM are Off) when AC power is turned ON, the
controller will read the floor code vanes or magnets at the landing and correct the Position
Indicator. Again, if the car is on Automatic Operation and if a home floor has been designated, the car will move to this landing to park.

Final Adjustment
Test Mode Operation
The purpose of TEST mode is to allow easy and convenient operation of the car so that the final
adjustments can be made without cycling the doors. When the elevator is operated in the TEST
mode, the elevator doors do not open. The door open functions are disabled during TEST mode
operation.
The car is put into TEST mode by placing the TEST/NORMAL switch on the HC-CTL-2 Main
Control board in the TEST position. Note that when the TEST/NORMAL switch is in the TEST
position, it puts the car into Test Mode, provided that the Car Top Inspection and MACHINE
ROOM INSPECTION switches are in the NORM or normal positions. In that case, the LCD
should show “TEST MODE” and not “NORMAL.” If the expected indication is not displayed,
check to see what message is being displayed and correct the problem. Operation while in TEST
mode should be easy to understand by knowing the following:
1.Every time the car stops, a non-interference timer is started and the timer must elapse
before the car can move again. Once the timer has elapsed, the car will move as soon as
the next car call is registered. If a car call is placed right after the car stops, the noninterference timer must elapse.
2. In TEST mode, if multiple calls are registered, the car will not automatically move from
call to call unless a jumper is placed continuously between 1 bus and terminal DCB on
the HC-CTL-2 board (or 1 bus to the terminal of the last call placed). While using TEST
mode, for convenience you may want to leave a jumper continuously between 1 bus and
terminal DCB.
3. If a jumper from terminal 1 is touched to the car call input for the floor where the car is
located, it will reestablish the non-interference timer and it must elapse before the car
can move again.
4. If the elevator is trying to level, it will not pick high speed and leave the landing until it
has completed the leveling process. If the car overshoots landings, the valves and/or
direction limits at terminal landings may need to be adjusted.
5. If any of the inputs that open the door are active (Safety Edge On, Photo Eye On, Car
Call input for the floor matching the Position Indicator jumpered to 1 bus, etc.) the car
will not leave the landing.
6. Slowdown switch inputs (DSL1 and DSL2 for the bottom terminal and USL1 and USL2
for the top terminal) should never be inactive at the same time when the doors are
closed and locked and the safety circuit is closed.

Running on Test/Normal Mode
Caution
If the door operator is not working, pull the door fuses and close the doors so that the door
clutch will not hit any of the door lock rollers. Take whatever steps are necessary to keep the
installation safe, but make sure that the car top is still accessible after closing all of the
doors.
1.On Inspection, move the car to the bottom landing.
2. Verify that the car is in door zone (PI = 1) and indicators ULM and DLM are OFF and
DZF is ON.
3. Place the Cartop Inspection, In-car Inspection and Access Enable switches in the Normal position.
4. On the HC-CTL-2 Control board, place the CONTROLLER TEST SW in the TEST position.
5. Place the MACHINE ROOM INSPECTION MODE switch in the NORM position. If the
LCD display does not show Test Mode, see what message is being displayed and correct
the problem.
NOTE: If the car is not completely wired (temporary), jumpers will be required. Check the following:
• wire removed from screw terminal DCL on HC-CTL-2 board.
• wire removed from screw terminal PHE on the HC-CTL-2 board.
• jumper from 2 bus to screw terminal DPM on HC-CTL-2 board.
• jumper from 2 bus to screw terminal DOL on the HC-CTL-2 board.
• jumper from 2 bus to screw terminal FRS, FRSA, FRSM on the HC-CTL-2 board.
• jumper from 2 bus to panel mount terminal EPI (if present).
6. If fire service is active, reset it.
7. If the car is not at a landing, it will move to a landing. If the car is at a landing but not in
the door zone, either the ULM or DLM input (diagnostic LEDs ULM or DLM) is ON, the
car should perform a relevel. If the relevel is not successful, check the following:
• If the diagnostic LEDs ULM or DLM are ON, but the car does not move, verify that
there are no faults displayed on the HC-MPU LCD screen. Also verify that relays
SAFS and SAFL are picked and the up/down direction limit switches are in their
proper states.
• If the car is trying to level, it will not leave the landing for a call until the leveling is
complete.
Running on Test/Normal Mode
Automatic Mode Fault Bypass For the purpose of testing and adjustment, this
option allows redundancy faults to be bypassed when the controller is on Automatic operation.
In order to use this option, a jumper must be placed on JP2 (see “Controller System Menu ” on

Final Adjustment
Final Adjustments on Test Mode
The following final adjustments should be made with the elevator operating on Test mode (Controller Test Switch on the HC-CTL-2 board in the TEST position). The LCD display should indicate TEST MODE.
Hydraulic Valves
Adjust hydraulic valves for proper speed, acceleration, deceleration, etc. and check contract
speed. A software controlled timer (SOFT-STOP TIMER option) automatically provides pump
motor overrun for Soft-Stop operation. Ensure that the Soft-Stop Timer is set to the desired
value for it to be on and to NONE for it to be off. If the car needs to run at low speed to adjust
the valves, set the HIGH SPEED INSPECTION option to DISABLED (see “HIGH SPEED
INSPECTION” on page 5-66).
Slowdown and Limit Switches
Disconnect the stepping switch inputs (terminals STU and STD on the HC-CTL-2 board) and
verify proper operation of all slowdown and limit switches for slowing and stopping the car at
both terminal landings.
Motor Limit Timer
A motor limit timer is provided to take the car to the bottom landing and open the doors if the
motor is operating for too long.
Valve Limit Timer
The same is true for the valves with the down valves being turned off and the doors re-enabled if
the car is at a floor.
Relevel Operation
If the car re-levels up after stopping at the floor, it will respond normally (instantly) the first
time it re-levels up. Further re-leveling at that landing w ill b e delayed by a computer-controlled
timer (usually 3 seconds). This process will repeat every time the car runs to another floor (the
first up relevel is always normal, not delayed). Down leveling is always normal and not affected
by this timer.
4-6 Manual # 42-02-1P21

Final Adjustments on Independent Service
The following final adjustments should be performed with the elevator operating on Independent Service.
•Place the CONTROLLER TEST SW on the HC-CTL-2 board in the NORM position.
• Place the Independent Service switch in the IND position.
• Verify that the IND indicator on the HC-MPU board is ON and the LCD display indicates
INDEPENDENT SERVICE.
Door Operator Adjustments
Complete the final door operator adjustments. Verify smooth opening and closing. Doors can be
opened at 3" before the floor or at the floor (see “PRE-OPENING?” on page 5-23). Hydraulic
elevators are usually set up to open the doors only after the car stops, but pre-opening is available. Verify the operation of the photo eye and/or safety edge, door open and close buttons.
Door Open/Close Protection
Verify proper door open protection and door close protection operation.
• Door open protection: If the doors do not open (DOL goes low) after several seconds, the
car will give up and continue to the next call (see “DOOR OPEN PROTECTION TIMER”
on page 5-27).
• Door close protection: After the car starts to close the doors and the doors do not lock, it
will recycle the doors open and attempt to close the doors three times before a DLK fail
error is generated and DOOR CLOSE PROTECTION TIMER ELAPSED is displayed on the
LCD.

The S push button ends the ability to change the address by stopping the digit from blinking. If
the S push button is not pressed, the selected digit will stop blinking automatically after a
period of about 20 seconds.
Function of + Push Button
The + push button modifies the digit of the computer memory address selected by the N pushbutton. If the + push button is pressed, the selected digit is incremented by one. The data display will also change as the address changes. For example, if the 0 of the address 20 is blinking,
pressing the + push button once will change the address from 20 to 21. Pressing the + push button several more times will change the address to 22, 23, 24, etc., up to 2F and then back to 20
again. If the 2 of address 20 is blinking, pressing the + push button once will change the address
from 20 to 30. Pressing the + push button several more times will change the address to 40, 50,
60, etc., up to F0. Once the address has reached F0, pressing the + push button will cause the
address to begin back at 00.
Function of - Push Button
The – push button also modifies the digit of the computer memory address selected by the N
push button. If the – push button is pressed, the selected digit is decremented by one. The data
display will also change as the address changes. For example: If the 0 of address 20 is blinking,
pressing the – push button once will change the address from 20 to 2F. Pressing the – push button several more times will change the address to 2E, 2D, 2C, etc., back to 20 again. If the 2 in
the address 20 is blinking, pressing the – push button once will change the address from 20 to
10. Pressing the – push button several more times will change the address to 00, F0, E0, etc.,
back to 00. Once the address has reached 00, pressing the – push button will cause the address
to start over at F0.

Format of LCD Display
The multi-functional alphanumeric LCD display shows car status and can also be used for diagnostic purposes to display the contents of computer memory. The figure shows the various parts
of the LCD in Diagnostic mode.
Normal Display For simplex controllers, the
letter D in the drawing will not appear on the LCD and
instead that part of the display will always be blank.
For a duplex controller, this part of the display provides information about the communication between
the controllers and about the dispatching. One of the
following codes should appear:
S Indicates that this computer is acting as the
slave to the dispatching computer. Hall call assignments are received from the dispatching computer
through the communication cable.
D Indicates that this computer is acting as the dispatcher. It is responsible for assigning
hall calls to itself and to the other controller.
Blank If this part of the display is blank, it denotes that communication has not been
established between the two cars (see Section 6 for information on identifying and solving communication problems).
Status / Error Message The top line of the LCD display shows the prevailing status of the elevator. The message is
scrolled if it is larger than the space available. There is a status
message for each special operation (e.g., Fire Service). There are also messages for most error
conditions (e.g., open safety string). For a list of these status and error messages including a
description and troubleshooting suggestions see “Status and Error Messages” on page 6-4.
Elevator Position The underlined section in this display
shows current elevator position relative to the bottom floor. The
number 1 denotes the lowest landing in the elevator system.
Computer Internal Memory The underlined section
in this display shows the computer internal memory address (2
digits) and the data (8 digits) at that address. The colon character (:) separates the address from the data. The address is changed by first pressing the N push
button, then the + and - pushbuttons.
Each of the 8 data digits (flags) corresponds to a particular elevator signal or condition. There
are 8 pieces of information about the elevator at each memory address. Each data digit is either
one or zero. One indicates the signal or condition is ON and zero indicates it is OFF.

The Computer Internal Memory Chart (Table 5.3) indicates the meaning of these data digits at
different addresses.
For example, the internal memory display might look like this:
The address on the display is 29; the data at that address is
11110000. To figure out what this means, simply match up the data digits with row 29 of the
Computer Internal Memory Chart:
Troubleshooting Using the Computer's Internal Memory
Examining the computer memory (as in the example above) is a useful step in troubleshooting
elevator problems. It is possible to find out if the controller is receiving input signals correctly
and if it is sending out the proper output signals. It is also possible to look up each of the computer output and input signals shown in the Job Prints.
The following example illustrates how to use Table 5.3 on page 8 and Table 5.4 on page 9 to
check a signal in the computer internal memory.
Example problem: the photo eye will not cause the doors to reopen.
1. Look at Table 5.4 on page 9. Find the abbreviation or mnemonic for Photo Eye input.
The table shows that the mnemonic for Photo Eye input is PHE and provides an Address
(20) and Position (7) for the signal. This will show where to look for the signal on
Table 5.3 on page 8 and on the computer display.
2. Notice on Table 5.3 on page 8 that PHE is indeed in position 7 on row 20.
3. Now that the address and position have been determined,
look up the PHE signal on the computer. First, change
the address on the display to address 20. Then, look at
data bit number 7 (from the right), which is underlined in the graphic:
This digit represents the computer's interpretation of the PHE signal. If the digit is 1, the computer thinks that the PHE signal is ON. If the digit is 0 (as shown above), the computer thinks
that the PHE signal is OFF.
This information can be used to find the source of the problem. The diagnostic display will show
that the PHE input is ON when an obstruction is present which should interrupt the photo eye
beam. If this is the case, checking the voltage present on the PHE terminal will show if the problem is inside or outside the controller.

Troubleshooting Specific Problems
This section will describe how to solve some specific problems by using the computer panel.
Problem: BOTTOM FLOOR OR TOP FLOOR DEMAND message. The BOT-
TOM FLOOR OR TOP FLOOR DEMAND message is scrolling on the top line of the LCD display. The Status and Error Messages list (page 6-4), indicates that the message means that there
is either a Bottom Floor Demand or a Top Floor Demand. The controller is trying to establish
the position of the car by sending it to either the bottom or top floor.
If the controller has the Absolute Floor Encoding feature, then the controller can establish the
position of the car as soon as the car reaches any door zone. The car does not have to travel to a
terminal landing to establish the position of the car.
It is normal for the BOTTOM FLOOR OR TOP FLOOR DEMAND message to appear on the display right after power up, after the car is taken off Inspection, or after the RST B computer reset
button is pressed. However, in all of these cases, the message should be cleared quickly and
then it should not be seen again as the car runs on Normal service.
If the BOTTOM FLOOR OR TOP FLOOR DEMAND message is scrolling for no apparent reason, take the following steps:
The first step in troubleshooting is to decide which of the following scenarios applies:
Scenario A: The car is stuck at the bottom floor with the BOTTOM FLOOR OR TOP FLOOR
DEMAND error message scrolling constantly.
Scenario B: The car runs normally until it reaches the top floor, then the BOTTOM FLOOR
OR TOP FLOOR DEMAND error message scrolls and the car goes to the bottom floor. When it
reaches the bottom, the message is cleared and the car functions normally until it again reaches
the top floor.
Scenario C: The car runs normally until it reaches the bottom floor. Then the BOTTOM
FLOOR OR TOP FLOOR DEMAND error message scrolls and the car goes to the top. After it
gets there, the message is cleared and the car runs normally until it again reaches the bottom
floor.
What to do for Scenario A: A Bottom Floor Demand should be cleared when all of
the following conditions are met:
1.The car is at the bottom and the Down Slow Down (DSD) input to the controller is OFF.
2. The Door Zone (DZ) input to the controller is ON.
3. The Door Lock (DLK) input to the controller is ON.
4. The leveling signals ULM(LU), DLM(LD) are OFF.
5-12 Manual # 42-02-1P21
Diagnostic Mode
5
Look up the DSD, DZ, ULM(LU), DLM(LD) and DLK signals in the computer memory (see
“Troubleshooting Using the Computer's Internal Memory ” on page 5-9). When the car is at the
bottom floor with the doors locked, the correct values for these signals in the computer memory
are as follows:
If there is a different value for any of the 3 signals, check the wiring associated with that particular signal.
For example, if the DSD signal is equal to 1 (ON) in the computer memory, inspect the DSD
input wiring, including the Down Slow Down limit switch. The Down Slow Down switch contacts should be open when the car is at the bottom.
What to do for Scenario B: In this situation, the USD input is usually the problem.
Look at the USD signal in the computer memory (Address 2E, Position 2). USD should be ON
except when the car is at the top; then it should be OFF. If the signal is not following this rule,
then inspect the wiring associated with the USD input, including the Up Slow Down limit
switch. The Up Slow Down switch contacts should be open when the car is at the top.
What to do for Scenario C: In this situation, the DSD input is usually the problem.
Look at the DSD signal in the computer memory (Address 2E, Position 6). DSD should be ON
except when the car is at the bottom; then it should be OFF. If the signal is not following this
rule, then inspect the wiring associated with the DSD input, including the Down Slow Down
limit switch. The Down Slow Down switch contacts should be open when the car is at the bottom.
Setting Parameters (Options) to Default Values
There are occasions when it is necessary to set the parameters (options) to their default values.
Setting the parameters to their default values is usually required when:
• The MC-MPU software is changed.
• RAM memory becomes corrupted. This sometimes happens due to lightening.
To set the MC-MPU parameters to their default values:
1.Place the car on Machine Room Inspection.
2. Place function switches F1, F3, F5 and F7 in the On (up) position.
3. Press all four push buttons (N, S, +, -) at the same time.
4. Using the settings shown in Appendix A, Original Programmed Values and the Record of Changes, reprogram the values that are different from the default values.

This section will explain how to use Program mode. Enter Program mode by moving the F1 switch on the computer board to the
up position. Program mode can be used to program the controller
to meet the requirements of the elevator such as, the selection of
stops and fire floors, or changing timer values and selecting
options such as nudging. The Motion 2000 controller has already been programmed at MCE.
Usually, the controller does not have to be programmed during the initial installation. Program
mode can be used later to modify the elevator operation.
Refer to the Programming Record in the Job Prints for a list of the options and values programmed into the controller at MCE. If you choose, you may copy these values into the space
provided in Appendix A.
If any changes are made using Program mode, record them in writing for future reference (use
Appendix A).
General Description of Program Mode
The car must be on Inspection before Program mode can be used. Messages will appear on the
LCD display. Use the N and S push buttons to find and select options and to change values. The
next several subsections describe in detail how to use Program mode.

return directly to the Menu Message while the options are displayed, press the N and '+' push
buttons at the same time. Press the S push button to see the options for that same menu again,
or press the N push button to go on to the next menu.
Changing a Value
For each option that appears, the value can be changed by pressing the S push button. While in
the Timer, Spare Inputs and Spare Outputs menus, pressing and holding the S push button for
five seconds causes the display to scroll through the values at a faster rate. Also, in those same
menus, pressing the S and '-' push buttons at the same time will cause the display to scroll back-
wards and pressing the S and '+' push buttons at the same will reset the option to NOT USED.
To return directly to the Menu Message while the values or options are displayed, press the N
and '+' push buttons at the same time.
Going back to the previous example in which the Nudging option
was on the display:
Pressing the S push button to changes Nudging to NO:
Saving the New Values
Whenever options or values are changed in Program mode, this
information must be saved in the computer's memory. When the
changes are complete, press the N push button until the following message appears:
Press the S push button to save the changes. The Start Message will appear again. When programming is complete, move the F1 switch back to the down position.
If the values have not been saved, they will be lost when F1 is switched back to OFF (down) position. Make sure to keep an account of saved changes on the record provided in Appendix A.
Restoring Original Values
When using Program mode, if some values have been changed, but then you decide to go back
to the old values, exit Program mode without saving the changes. Move the F1 switch back to
the down position and the original values will be restored.

CONTROLLER TYPE: (HYDRO (M2000)/TRACTION (M4000)) Determines the firm-
ware that will be used for this controller. This parameter should have been factory set based on
the type of controller in use, hydro or traction.
SIMPLEX / LOCAL OR DUPLEX? The controller has been programmed at the factory for either simplex, local or duplex capability.
If the controller has simplex capability, it can only operate a single car as a simplex.
This parameter should be set to LOCAL if the car is part of a group connected to a group dispatcher.
If the controller has duplex capability, then it can operate a single car as a simplex, or it can be
connected to a second Motion 2000 controller and the 2 controllers can operate 2 cars as a
duplex.
Both Motion 2000 controllers must have duplex capability for this arrangement to work. Also,
the Simplex/Duplex option on each controller must be set to duplex.
F1: Program Mode
In Duplex configuration, one of the controllers will assert itself as the dispatcher and will
remain the dispatcher unless it is taken offline. The dispatching controller will show a “D” on its
LCD; the other, an “S.” Hall calls are physically connected to both controllers
OPERATION: Dispatching operation - For simplex operation, there are 3 dispatching
operations to choose from: Selective Collective, Single Button Collective, or Single Automatic
Push button. Each operation is described below:
•
Selective Collective - Choose this operation if there is an UP and DOWN button at each
landing station except for the top floor (DOWN button only) and bottom floor (UP button
only) and any number of calls can be registered at one time.
•
Single Button Collective - Choose this operation if there is only 1 call button at each
landing station and any number of calls can be registered at one time.
•
Single Automatic Push button - Choose this operation if there is only 1 call button at
each landing station and only 1 call can be registered and/or serviced at a time.
If either Single Button Collective or Single Automatic Push button operation is selected, then
one of the spare output terminals should be used for an INDFRC output. This output is used to
disconnect the hall calls during Fire Service and Independent Service (see “Spare Outputs Menu
Options” on page 5-39, INDFRC output for more details). Refer to the Job Prints for informa-
tion on using the INDFRC output to disconnect hall calls.
For duplex operation, the dispatching scheme is always Selective Collective. Therefore, the
Operation option message will not appear on the display if the duplex option has been selected.

PARKING FLOOR Any landing can be selected to be the parking floor. The car will go to
the parking floor when it is free of call demand. In addition, there is a Parking Delay Timer that
will cause a free car to wait for a short time before parking. The timer is adjustable, with a value
between 0.0 minutes (no delay) and 6.0 minutes (see “PARKING DELAY TIMER” on page 5-
27). If the parking feature is not needed, choose NONE when the Parking Floor option message
is on the display. The car will stay at the last call answered.
ALT. PARKING FLOOR This option is available only when the API input is pro-
grammed and a parking floor is set. Any landing can be selected to be the alternate parking
floor. This car will go to the alternate parking floor when it is free of call demand and the API
input is active.
SECONDARY PARKING FLOOR This option is for duplex systems only. Any landing
can be selected to be the secondary parking floor. The car will go to this floor when it becomes
free of call demand and the other car is already parked at the first parking floor. It is acceptable
to make the secondary parking floor the same as the first parking floor, if both cars are to park
at the same floor. If a second parking floor is not needed, choose NONE when the Secondary
Park Floor option message is on the display. Then, the first free car will go to the first parking
floor, but the second car will stay at the last call answered.
LOBBY FLOOR Any landing can be selected to be the Lobby Floor. When the car answers
either a hall or car call at this floor, the doors will stay open until the Lobby Door Timer elapses
(the Lobby Door Timer is adjustable, see “LOBBY DOOR TIMER” on page 5-26). NOTE: The
Lobby Floor is also used for CTL input.
CAR IDENTIFIER This option is for duplex systems only. Its purpose is to specify which
controller is assigned to car A and which controller is assigned to car B. This is primarily used
for controllers that use a peripheral device such as a CRT.
SERIAL COP BOARD HC-CPI? YES/NO - Yes indicates that the COP signals are being
handled by an HC-CPI Serial COP board and therefore the car calls should not be assigned to
HC-UIO board terminals.
SERIAL COP BOARD TYPE? Set to type of installed serial COP board (HC-CPI, ICECOP-2, or NONE.
DISCRETE PI’s on UIO? Set to No if the car uses serial (CE) position indicator fixtures. See caution above.
• Set to Yes if PI’s are connected to HC-UIO boards.
DEDICATED PI BOARD? (Appears if “Discrete PI’s on UIO?” is set to Yes. Dedicates
the first one or two HC-UIO boards to PI’s alone [no call connections]).
• If Yes: Position Indicators will be located on UIO Board 0 (zero) for 2 - 16 stops or boards
0 (zero) and 1 (one) for 2 - 32 stops (board 1 handles 17 - 32 [assuming that PI is one wire
per floor]). Calls will begin on a new UIO Board immediately following Board 0 or 1.
• If No: PI’s are located on UIO boards but calls can begin immediately following the last PI
rather than on the next UIO board.
SERIAL CARTOP DOOR CNTRL? YES/NO - Yes indicates that door control is being
handled by an HC-UIO board that is installed on the car top.
DISABLE LOCAL HALL CALLS? Set to Yes if the car is dispatched by a group controller and should not respond to a local (connected to car) riser. If this car has swing operation, do
not set this to Yes as it will prevent the car from responding to local riser calls.
