Safety and Other Symbol Meanings
This manual symbol is used to alert you to procedures, instructions, or situations which, if not done
properly, might result in personal injury or substantial equipment damage.
This manual symbol is used to alert you to procedures, instructions, or situations which, if not done
properly, might result in equipment damage.
This manual symbol is used to alert you to instructions or other immediately helpful information.
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
breaker sized in conformance 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 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 the AC Drive Unit in 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 ineffect ive. 2) The incomi ng power to the controlle r 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.

System Features
Motion 4000 design incorporates:
• Solid state implementation of redundancy and proofing requirements, eliminating relays
whenever possible to improve service life and reliability.
• Retention of the simple LCD/keypad programming interface used on earlier MCE programmable controls but with the addition of a hand-held interface (mPAC) that can be
plugged in to any system CAN connector.
• Easy software updates — Internet download through a PC to the hand-held user interface,
MCE SD card, or EEPROM replacement.
• CAN Bus: Circuit boards and major components all communicate through light weight,
serial CAN Bus connections. Communication between major system components (i.e.,
controller to car, controller to hall calls, etc.) uses shielded, twisted-pair cables connected
to pluggable terminals (CAN).
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44 compliant throughout.
• Field connections: Field connections are handled by Universal I/O boards. The boards are
factory set to handle 24V, 48V, 110V, or 120V AC or DC inputs. This allows a single board
design to service all common inputs.
• Positioning: Permanently encoded magnetic tape, or steel tape positioning systems.
• Minimized hoistway peripherals: Motion 4000 design allows slowdown, emergency terminal, and hoistway access limit switches to be eliminated. These switches exist as virtual
switches in system software.
• Serial hall call: Motion 4000 may use serial hall calls for easier field wiring. The riser drop
provides CAN communication and power to the fixtures. (Discrete hall call wiring is supported through Universal I/O boards.)
• Serial car panel option: Discrete signals from car panel buttons may be serialized for easy
connection to the controller via CAN bus through the cartop interface.
• Light weight traveler and hoistway cabling: Serial communication allows low traveler and
hoistway cable conductor counts.
• Optional monitoring capabilities using mView, iMonitor, and iReport software.
• Optional integration with Building Management Software using BMS-LINK.
• Optional Jail Services application for detention center operation.
• (MRL) Optional passenger rescue system provides input from a cartop mounted camera
and a rescue control panel with LCD display to allow a technician to safely drift the car to a
landing in the absence of commercial or emergency power. Once at the landing, doors
must be opened manually.
• Optional Traction Auxiliary Power Supply (TAPS) provides automated return of the car to
a landing and automated door opening in the absence of commercial power. Power is provided via an integrated UPS/battery system and requires no generator.

Controller Circuit Boards
Circuit boards used depend upon job requirements. Typically, the following boards are used:
• HC-CHP, CAN Hub and Power Supply: Provides
~18-volt, 4-amp DC power for circuit boards in
the controller and a central connection point for
the Controller Area Network (CAN).
• HC-MPU, Main Processing Unit: Fitted with the
appropriate software, performs control data processing. The HC-MPU is responsible for:
•Car operation
•Fire Service
• Programming and diagnostics
• Software validation
• Duplexing / Group communication
• HC-UIO, Universal Input/Output Board: HCUIO boards are used for field inputs and outputs. The boards are universal in that they can
be configured for AC or DC inputs from 24 to
120 Volts.
• TC-MPI, Motion Processor Interface Board:
Configured to interface to the drive selected for
the job. Handles machine and brake contactors,
position system I/O, earthquake/seismic and
emergency brake/rope gripper requirements.
• HC-CTL, Control Board: Monitors I/O, performs
safety functions, front door operation, and
machine room inspection. The HC-CTL board is responsible for:
•Inspection
• Test operation
•Diagnostic Flags
• Front Hall and Car Door Lock Bypass
• Lanterns and Gongs
•Spare I/O

Motion 4000 Traction Elevator Control
Hand-Held User Interface
The hand-held user interface, mPac, provides a portable
interface and a means to upload new firmware to the system.
The hand-held can be plugged in to a CAN connection in the
controller, on the cartop, or in the car (if one is wired).
Car
Landing and Positioning
Motion 4000 uses one of two landing systems; encoded
magnetic tape or perforated steel tape and magnets.
The ELGO encoded steep tape system uses a 1/2-inch wide,
Gray code, magnetically encoded tape and two, independent
sensor heads (in a single housing) for absolute position control under all powered conditions. The tape provides a
unique code for every 1mm of travel. In addition to position,
simple distance-over-time calculation provides extremely
accurate speed feedback. A third, also independent system
provides speed feedback directly from the hoist motor.
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. The system auto-corrects at each door
zone to prevent error accumulation.
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 22 seconds after
power loss and storing the final reading for use after power restoration. Mechanical final limit,
ETS, and ETSL switches are used but normal terminal switches may be virtual, existing only in
system software, or mechanical depending upon specific controller capabilities. The LS-EDGE
system may be used with MCE iControl or Motion 4000 elevator controls.

Hoistway
For serial hall call, Motion 4000 communicates with hall calls and similar buttons or key
switches through an independent CAN Bus for reliability and easy installation. The hall bus provides a CAN signal path and 24 V power for the fixtures.
An SC-3HN three-input hall node board allows discrete hall call buttons and indicators to be
connected along a CAN bus to provide serial hall call capability for Motion 4000, greatly reducing the number of conductors necessary in hoistway wiring bundles. Please refer to “SC-3HN
Three Input Serial Hall Call Node Board” on page 5-72.
Discrete hall calls are supported using HC-UIO Universal I/O boards. Please refer to “HC-UIO
Universal Input/Output Board” on page 5-58.
Motion 4000 Specific Traveler Cable
Special traveler cable for Motion 4000 installations is available from MCE. The cable is sized

Operating Mode Descriptions
Available operating modes are configured when the car is installed. Not all modes are available
on all cars. This section describes operating modes, including:
Normal operation is the default elevator operating mode. In this mode, cars are accepting hall
calls and servicing car calls as determined by Basic Features Menu and other operating menu
selections. Please refer to “Basic Features Menu” on page 4-13 . Cars are running at contract
speed as affected by short or multi-floor run performance curves.
Inspection Operation
In inspection, a car operates at the set inspection speed using continuous pressure up and down
buttons or switches. The car will stop as soon as the buttons are released. Inspection operation
may be controlled from four locations. For safety purposes, locations have a priority:
•Cartop
•In-Car
•Access
• Machine Room Inspection
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.
Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the access floor
• Enable hoistway access operation using the in-car switch
• Move the car down using the hall controls until the access limit is opened
• Set the cartop switch to Inspection and access the cartop.
• Use ENABLE and UP or DOWN buttons to run the car from the cartop.

Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the desired floor.
• Place the car on in-car inspection.
• Use UP or DOWN buttons to run the car.
Hoistway Access Inspection
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 key switch is used to
move the car up or down.
Mode Entry
• Bring the car to the access floor
• Place the car on hoistway access using the in-car switch.
• Move the car using the hall way switch 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
Machine Room Inspection
In this mode, the car is operated using switches on the
HC-CTL (Control) board in the controller.
Mode Entry
• Place the car on Machine Room Inspection
(Mode Switch to Inspection).
• Ensure that car and hoistway doors are closed
and locked.
• Run the car using the ENABLE and UP or
DOWN Directional switch positions.

Motion 4000 Traction Elevator Control
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 4-42.
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.
1-12 Manual # 42-02-2P24
Motion 4000
Note
Hospital Service
Please refer to “HOSPITAL EMERG. OPERATION?” on page 4-45. 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 incar 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 4-42. 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
1
Seismic Operation
Please refer to “EARTHQUAKE OPERATION?” on page 4-48. Seismic operation is entered into
automatically if counterweight derailment is detected (CWI input) or if the seismic sensor input
(SSI) is activated. If the CWI input is triggered, the car comes to a full stop, moves at reduced
speed (150 FPM or less) to the nearest floor in the direction away from the counterweight, levels, opens its doors to allow passengers to exit, then shuts down.
If only the SSI input is activated, the car will continue to the next available floor, open its doors,
and shut down. A programmable option is available to allow the car to run on normal, automatic operation or fire service at reduced speed (150FPM or less).
Mode Exit
• After ensuring that the hoistway is clear and all equipment is undamaged and operating
properly:
• Press the EQ Reset button on the Motion Processor Interface (MPI) board.
Modifiers
Some fire codes allow the car to be run in fireman service even though the CWI or SSI input has
been activated.
Earthquake operating profile overrides the Emergency power profile.
1-13
Motion 4000 Traction Elevator Control
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 4-16. In general, fire service proceeds
in two stages; Phase I Fire Recall and Phase II Fire 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.
Emergency Power Operation
Please refer to “EMERGENCY POWER OPERATION?/EMERGENCY POWER RETURN
FLOOR” on page 4-42. 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 MCE TAPS (Traction Auxiliary Power Supply).
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 at programmed speed 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.
TAPS Backup
When power is lost, the elevator will come to a full stop. When battery power becomes available,
the elevator will be moved at reduced speed to the nearest floor in the direction determined by
TAPS settings. 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 and the TAPS unit
switches the car from battery power back to normal power. Please refer to the MCE TAPS manual or data sheets for detailed information.

Motion 4000 Traction Elevator Control
Monitoring and Control Options
Motion 4000 is Ethernet capable, allowing it to use iMonitor and iReport applica t ions fo r loca l
and/or distance monitoring and control or report generation, archival, and automated alert.
Motion 4000 can be linked to Building Management System software through MCE BMS-Link,
providing system visibility and limited control. A machine room-only monitoring and control
application, mView, is also available.
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 or Windows 7
operating system. Because Motion 4000 controls are Ethernet capable, you can connect to them
though a local area network or remotely through internet 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 or Windows 7 operating system and iReport client software. Because Motion 4000 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 4000 group dispatchers may
be connected to iReport directly through a local area network or they may be connected
remotely through the internet. The group dispatcher provides iReport with hall call and car
operating mode information. The individual car controllers provide iReport with event and
fault notifications.

In this Section
This section contains instructions for installing the controller and peripheral equipment. If you
are reading this on a computer, click the blue text to jump to the appropriate section.
The job prints are the primary document used to install the controller. The job prints and manual together provide information to install, adjust, and troubleshoot the controller. Study the
job prints and read the manual before starting work. Call MCE with any questions.
Instructions in this section assume that the hoist ropes are attached to the car sling, all hoistway
doors are closed, and that:
• The CAR SAFETY IS ADJUSTED to the manufacturer specification
• The GOVERNOR IS INSTALLED and the GOVERNOR ROPE CONNECTED to the safety
Safety
Certain fundamental warnings must be kept in mind at all times to help avoid accidental death,
severe personal injury, or equipment damage.
Personal Safety
• Motion 4000 Controllers may only be installed by qualified, licensed, trained elevator personnel familiar with the operation of microprocessor-based elevator controls.
• Verify safety devices (limits, governors, hoistway locks, car gate, etc.) are fully functional
before running the elevator. Never operate 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 proper sizing of electrical conductors.
• 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. Never operate controls with covers removed from drive or brake controls.
• 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 reduce the risk of shock, all equipment should be securely grounded to earth ground.
Failure to obtain an actual earth ground may result in electrical shock to personnel. Pro-
vide equipment grounding in accordance with local code and NEC Article 250.
• 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.
2-2 Manual # 42-02-2P24
Motion 4000
Equipment Safety
• Provide equipment grounding in accordance with local code and NEC Article 250. 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.
• Do not substitute or modify parts. MCE will not be responsible for 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.
• Do not allow dust, carbon, or metallic particles to accumulate on any part of the control.
• Avoid vibration, shock, high humidity, high ambient temperature, and caustic fumes.
Preparation
When choosing equipment location, consider:
Preparation
2
• Logical arrangement, taking into consideration other equipment, electrical power, and
seismic zone requirements.
• Do not install equipment in hazardous or vibration prone locations.
• Locate the drive isolation transformer (if used) near the controller to reduce wire runs.
• 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, moisture, or corrosive elements. 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 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).
2-3
Installation
Electrical Noise
Electrical noise readily occurs when two wires run along side one another with one of them a
high power conductor and the other a low signal level conductor. The easiest way to avoid noise
problems is to 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.
Alternately, low level wiring may use shielded cable. The shield drains induced voltage to
ground. The shield must be connected to ground at one end only.
EMI/RFI
To avoid EMI/RFI interference:
• Keep motor leads as short as possible. Run them in a separate conduit.
• Run main line supply leads to the controller or isolation transformer in a separate conduit.
• Run leads from the isolation transformer to the drive cabinet in a separate conduit.
• The controller door will protect against interference only when closed.
Recommended Tools and Test Equipment
Recommended tools and test equipment:
• Digital multimeter, Fluke series 75, 76, 77 or equivalent
• Hand-held tachometer
• Clamp-on AC ammeter
• Hand-held radios
•Test weights

Controller Wiring Guidelines
Detailed instructions for connecting the Motion 4000 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.
Be aware of the hierarchy of the inspection inputs. (Cartop has highest priority. In-car is next.
Machine Room is last.) 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 PC boards. Do not touch PC Boards unless you are
properly grounded.
Controller Installation
2
• Use the wiring ducts in the controller. The terminals are located conveniently near them.
• Connect wires according to hoistway and car wiring diagrams.
• If the car is part of a duplex or group, there are additional steps related to wiring interconnects between individual cars:
• A separate conduit or wiring trough must be provided for the CAN link between each
controller cabinet.
• Wiring details are shown in the job prints.
• Ground all cabinets according to applicable guidelines. Please refer to “Proper
Ground” on page 2-7.
Proper Ground
Provide equipment grounding in accordance with local code and NEC Article 250. 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 in the electrical supply panel.
Electrical conduit is not a sufficient ground. Electrical ground should be obtained and certified
by the electrical contractor. When seeking an adequate EARTH GROUND:
• Consult with the building engineer or electrical contractor to determine the best source for
a low impedance ground.
• Sprinkler system water pipe is not adequate because the sprinkler system is, in most cases,
isolated from a free flowing earth water source.
If a poor ground connection is used and a true electrical ground is later introduced into the
system, the difference in potential can lead to the possibility of severe electrical shock to
personnel and damage to test equipment.
2-7
Installation
• The chosen ground must conform to all applicable codes. Proper grounding is essential for
system safety and helps to reduce noise-induced problems.
• Direct, solid grounding must be provided in the machine room to properly ground the controller and the motor.
Figure 2.2 Ground Wiring to Controller Cabinet
1.An uninterrupted ground wire 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
connection is made to bare metal. There should be 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 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 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 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 from electrical shock.
7. An uninterrupted ground wire should be run from the dispatch cabinet chassis or back

Check for Shorts to Ground
Check for shorts to ground before powering up the system. Power must be OFF at the main
disconnect. If any shorts to ground are discovered, they must be corrected before proceeding.
A short to ground is defined as having a resistance of less than 20 ohms between ground and the
terminal being tested.
Be certain that power is OFF at the main disconnect before proceeding.
1.Disengage all 2 Bus fuses.
2. Measure the resistance between the 1 Bus (common) and all field connection terminals.
3. Check for shorts to ground on motor power terminals L1, L2, and L3.
4. Check for shorts to ground on brake terminals B1 and B2, EB1, and EB2 (as applicable).
5. If no shorts to ground are discovered, re-engage the fuses.

AC Power Connections
• All conductors entering or leaving the controller must be through conduit.
• High voltage, high current conductors must be separated from control wires.
• Velocity encoder or tachometer wires must be routed in a separate conduit from high voltage, high current wires.
• Incoming power to the controller and outgoing power to the motor must be through separate, grounded conduits.
Brake Module If your job uses a brake control module, your job drawings may show auxiliary power connections specific to the brake from an isolation transformer. Follow the drawings carefully.
1.Check the AC input specifications on your job prints. Verify that the AC supply is as
specified.
Proper motor branch circuit protection in the form of a fused disconnect switch or circuit
breaker must be provided for each elevator according to applicable electrical code. Refer to the
drive manufacturer manual for proper drive circuit fuse sizing. Each disconnect or breaker
must be clearly labeled with the elevator number. The electrical contractor must determine the
wire size for the main AC power supply and for the wiring from the disconnect or breaker to the
controller or isolation transformer.
2. Connect AC supply wiring as shown in the job prints.
Power Check
After connecting power, it is a good practice to temporarily power up the control to check functionality before connecting any field wiring.
1.Verify that the Inspection switch on the Control Board is in the Inspection position.
2. Visually check for loose connections or components.
3. Verify that fuses FB1 and FB2 are disengaged to prevent the brake from lifting.
4. Have a helper power up the controller and remain by the disconnect ready to shut down
immediately if needed.
5. Check that the Power On LED on the CHP (CAN Hub) board is on.
• Verify all transformer and power supply voltage levels are correct per the job prints.
• Verify all fuses are intact.
• Check phase-to-phase input voltage. If necessary, shut off main power and swap two of
the incoming feeds at the controller main terminal.
6. After verification, shut down the controller and engage fuses FB1 and FB2 before continuing with field connections.

Motor, Brake, and Encoder Connection
Motor, Brake, and Encoder Connection
Verify that power to the controller has been shut off at the main disconnect before proceeding with connections.
Motor Connection
If you are reusing an existing hoist motor, you must check it for insulation breakdown
before proceeding. Applying power from a modern drive to a motor with insulation problems can damage the motor and/or the drive.
Insulation Breakdown Test
1.Disconnect all motor and brake wiring.
2. Perform an insulation test between motor and brake connection points and the body of
the motor. Use a Megohm meter to subject the insulation to the same high voltage that
would be present during elevator operation.
3. A minimum insulation resistance of 100k Ohms is required.
4. Correct any insulation problems before proceeding with installation. Insulation problems may indicate a serious problem in the equipment.
Motor Wiring
Incoming power to the controller and outgoing power wires to the motor must be through separate grounded conduits.
2
1.Refer to the power section drawing in your job prints.
2. Use a shielded power cable between the motor drive and the AC Motor stator connections to reduce RFI/EMI noise (Siemens Protoflex - EMV or equivalent). The shield
must be terminated to earth ground at both ends.
3. Make connections as shown. Be sure to follow any notes regarding wire sizes.
4. Pay particular attention to motor grounding instructions in the job prints and in the
motor manufacturer instructions.
MRL or Extended Motor Cables
If cables from the drive to the motor are over forty feet / 12 meters in length, high voltage peaks
or high rates of voltage rise can occur on the motor windings, potentially damaging the motor.
In these installations, a special output filter may be recommended by the drive manufacturer.
Both cable length limitations and filter configuration are dependent on the drive. Refer to the
drive manufacturer manual for specific information and treatment.

Installation
Note
Brake Connection
Motion 4000 controllers may be ordered with or without a brake control module. The module
allows more precise control of brake lift and drop rates. Th e brake module must be calibrated
before it will pick the brake. Please refer to “Calibration (CAN Only)” on page 5-85.
Standard Brake
1.Refer to the brake circuit drawing in your job prints to verify the configuration of the
braking circuit. (Brake control and brake adjustment resistors vary from job to job.)
• Familiarize yourself with the brake pick, hold, and drop time adjustments.
2. Measure the resistance through the brake coil on the lift machine.
3. Initially, adjust resistance across the Brake Drop Time resistor(s) to three times the
measured brake coil resistance.
This resistance determines brake drop time. Too little resistance causes the brake to remain
picked for a longer time, perhaps allowing rollback before stopping the car. Three times brake
coil resistance is usually a good starting point.
4. Connect the wires from the controller to the brake as shown in the job prints. Remember
that brake wires must not be routed in the same conduit with motor power or velocity
encoder wires.
Brake Module
If the job uses one machine brake as the service brake and the second machine brake as an
emergency brake, a brake module may be necessary for each depending upon the jurisdiction of
the installation site.
• Connect the wires from the controller to the brake as shown in the job prints. Remember
that brake wires must not be routed in the same conduit with motor power or velocity
encoder wires.
Brake modules must be calibrated to the brake that they will be controlling. Please
refer to “Calibration (CAN Only)” on page 5-87. Both calibration and adjustment
are described in the referenced area of the manual.
Brake Mechanics
Check basic brake characteristics at this time:
• Ensure that the brake mechanism is clean and in good condition.
• Check that the brake lining makes good contact with the machine braking surface (at least
95% of the pad must be in contact with the braking surface).
• Check that the adjustment of the brake solenoid is not preventing the brake from fully
applying when it is not energized.
• Check to see that the spring adjustments are equal and are torqued to the manufacturer
recommended brake torque settings.

Motor, Brake, and Encoder Connection
Velocity Encoder Installation and Wiring
The velocity encoder reports hoist motor speed to the controller. The encoder must be mounted
and wired according to the drawings. When installed, the encoder must be electrically isolated
from the motor or any other ground. (Resistance between the encoder casing and the motor or
other ground should be “infinite.”)
Do not place the encoder or its wiring close to a magnetic field (the motor or brake coils). Magnetic fields can induce AC into the encoder signal. This can cause the drive to miscount, producing erratic control at lower speeds.
The encoder wiring must use a separate grounded conduit. Inside the controller cabinet, if control wires must cross power wires, they must cross at right angles to reduce the possibility of
interference. We recommend you use oversize conduit (typically 2- inch) so that connectors
may be fed through without having to disassemble the cable.
Encoder Wiring
2
Check job prints and installed encoder type to be certain they match. ONLY
WHEN the drive is switched off and the voltage supply is disconnected may the
feedback (encoder) connections be removed or connected.
A shielded cable with an appropriate connector at the encoder end is connected to the drive if
the type of encoder is known before the job is shipped. If the encoder type is unknown, the cable
ends expose trimmed and tinned individual conductors and the installer must attach the
encoder connector and make the proper connections at the drive end. The encoder cable must
be routed into the controller cabinet in a separate conduit from brake or power conductors.
1.Route the cable through a separate conduit to the controller cabinet.
2. If it was not done at the factory, connect the controller end of the cable as shown on the
drive interface sheet of the job prints and according to the encoder manufacturer
instructions.
3. Connect the encoder end of the cable to the encoder. (If you are providing the connector,
follow the encoder manufacturer instructions.)
Do not coil excess Encoder cable near high voltage components — noise may be induced. If
the cable must be shortened, trim it at the drive end. Do not cut and re-splice in the middle
of the cable or shorten at the Encoder end.

During setup, the rope gripper or sheave brake may well be triggered. To reset the unit:
1.Place the car on Machine Room Inspection.
2. Press and hold the Emergency Brake reset button, EB RST, on the TC-MPI board for
eight seconds, then release.
3. Return to normal operation. Check the fault display and correct faults as necessary.
Initial Power Up
Always have a helper standing by the AC disconnect to power up the controller and to
immediately shut down if necessary.
1.Verify brake and motor wiring is correct.
2. On the HC-CTL board, verify that the Machine Room Inspection switch is in the INSP
position.
3. Physically verify that all car and hoistway doors are closed and locked and that no one is
in a dangerous position should the car move unexpectedly.
4. Power up the control. Be prepared to immediately shut it down if the car slides or
attempts to move.
5. Check that the drive is displaying no fault conditions.
Turning the control on and off repeatedly (more than once every two minutes) can damage
the inverter drive.

Auto Tuning and Encoder Data Loading
Auto Tuning and Encoder Data Loading
Drives used in Motion 4000 applications provide auto tuning procedures which allow the drive
to directly learn motor characteristics. Tuning both improves performance and automatically
calculates some motor values you would otherwise have to enter manually.
For permanent magnet, AC gearless machines, if a Hiperface, EnDat, or Sin/Cos encoder was
pre-installed by the motor manufacturer, motor data information may have been stored in the
encoder. The Torqmax drive allows you to read and store this data, saving more setup time,
avoiding auto-tuning, and automatically learning the encoder position with relation to a pole of
the motor.
Motor circuits may have high voltage present any time AC power is applied to the controller,
even if the motor is not rotating. Wait 10 minutes after removing AC power to allow capacitors to discharge before you open the drive cover. Use extreme caution. Do not touch any
circuit board, power device, or connection without ensuring that high voltage is not present.
Torqmax/Keb F5 Drive Introduction
The Torqmax F5 drive is a Keb F5 with custom software specific to Motion Control Engineering.
Take the time to study the drive manual. It has very important startup and other information
that are beyond the scope of this manual.
Digital Operator
The keypad and LED display are mounted on the digital operator. The operator must be
plugged into the drive or the drive will not function. If the operator is removed while the drive is
operating, the drive will shut down immediately. If you must remove the operator, do so while

Note
Learn or Enter Motor or Encoder Data In order to enter motor nameplate data
into the drive, learn motor information, or learn encoder information, you must activate parameter LF.3 appropriately:
• conF (configuration): Operation troubleshooting (90 second time-out)
• S Lrn: Auto tuning drive to motor
• run: Sets drive to run mode
• I Lrn (inertia learn): Learns system inertial / activates FFTC.
• P Lrn (pole learn): Learns motor pole positions (see drive manual).
• StoP: Motor cannot run. Parameter changes allowed with serial control.
When StoP is active, the drive will not respond to the direction inputs and therefore, the motor
will not run.
Auto-tuning AC Induction Motors to the F5 Drive
Auto-tuning provides better drive to motor matching and performance than manually entering
parameters. Before beginning, make sure that the following parameters have been loaded into
the drive:
• Rated Motor Power (horsepower) (LF.10)
• Rated Motor Speed (rpm) (LF.11)
• Rated Motor Current (A) (LF.12)
• Rated Motor Frequency (Hz) (LF.13)
• Rated Motor Voltage (LF.14)
• Rated Power Factor (LF.15) (not viewable for PMAC machines)

Loading Data from PM AC Encoder to the F5 Drive
EnDat, Sin/Cos, and Hiperface encoders are capable of storing critical operating information,
including motor pole position/encoder absolute position data. If the encoder was installed on
the machine/motor by the machine supplier, they may have pre-loaded this data into the
encoder. If so, you can download it to the drive.
Typically, a drive can be used with many different encoders. This is accomplished by using an
interface card in the drive that is specific to the encoder. It is very important that the card
installed in your drive is correct for the encoder you are using. Check your drive manual for
information about displaying the installed card type. (For Torqmax/Keb F5 drives, parameter
0.LF.26 displays the encoder card type.)
1.Check 0.LF.26 to verify that the encoder card matches the encoder you are using.
2. Check drive parameter 2.LF.26 to verify serial communication (“conn” displayed).
3. Go to parameter 3.LF.26 and press Function. The display will change to IdLE.
4. Press the drive UP arrow. The display will change to rdEnc.
5. Press Enter. The display will change to “no”.
6. Press the UP arrow. The display will change to YES.
7. Press Enter. The display will change to rEAd. The drive will read the encoder data and

Learning Encoder Data From PM Machines
If the motor data was not pre-loaded into the encoder by the supplier, you will need to learn the
information by running the motor. Refer to the procedure for aligning an absolute encoder for
use with a permanent magnet motor in the drive manufacturer manual.
As stated earlier, the drive manual provides a step-by-step start up procedure for preparing the
drive to run with your machine. Read and follow the drive manufacturer instructions.
Setting the Drive to Run Mode
Parameter LF.3 allows the drive to be configured, to learn, or to be placed in run mode. To set
the drive to run mode:
1.Set LF.3 to run.

Auto-tuning AC Motors to the Magnetek Drive
Auto-tuning provides better drive to motor matching and performance and must be performed
at some point during installation or adjustment. Because the car must be run through the extent
of the hoistway, this procedure should be accomplished after hoistway installations are sufficiently complete. Please refer to Adaptive Tuning in the Magnetek manual and follow those
instructions.

The Drive Manual
The information included above is very basic. If you are not familiar with the Magnetek drive,
you must take a few minutes to look through the drive manual to learn how to proceed, what to
expect, and what adjustments are available through the drive.
2-27
Installation
Note
Set Up for Construction Operation
If required, it is possible to run the car during construction to help complete work in the hoistway. In this mode, the car runs at inspection speed. If they are in place, cartop controls may be
used or the car may be run from the controller or a temporary run box. (Refer to Temporary
Run Box on page 2-50.)
Minimal Requirements
Minimal equipment requirements are:
• The governor must be wired into the Safety string (SAFH).
• Car and counterweight must be roughly balanced.
Typically, the counterweight is sized to equal the weight of the car with 40%, 45%, or 50% of its
rated full load weight inside. At inspection speed, in the middle of the hoistway, with the car
properly loaded, drive current readings (F5, LF.93 or Magnetek D0/D2 MOTOR CURRENT)
should be equal in both up and down directions if counterweight/car balance is approximately
correct. A balancing procedure is provided in this section but, before you attempt to run the car
on Inspection, you must check that counterweighting has been addressed. Please refer to Car
and Counterweight Balance on page 3-8.
• If used, the temporary run box must be connected through the safety string. Please refer to
“Temporary Run Box Hookup.” on page 2-50.
• Motor, brake, and drive connected and set up.
• Velocity encoder or tach connected and functioning.
• Jumpers must be temporarily used to bypass absent equipment.
• The controller must be set to bypass faults on Inspection operation
Jumper Requirements
Temporary jumpers, as necessary, may be placed across the following connections if needed to
run the car on construction operation. If you are using a temporary run box, Please refer to
“Temporary Run Box” on page 2-50.
Table 2.2 Construction Mode Jumper Requirements
FromTo
Panel Mount Terminal 15SAFH HC-CTL board (Safety String, Hoistway)
Because the hoistway has not been set up yet, the car does not have direction limit inputs and
will be prevented from moving properly in the hoistway unless the faults generated by this lack
are bypassed. To bypass faults on Inspection mode:
Set Up for Construction Operation
1.On the MPU board, place switch F3 in the UP position (all others down).
2. On the HC-CTL board, use a jumper to short the pins of JP1 Fault Bypass.
3. Press N until the display shows Controller System Menu.
4. Press S to enter the menu.
5. Press N until the LCD displays Inspection Mode Fault Bypass OFF.
6. Press S to change bypass state to ON.
7. Set F3 back to the DOWN position.
This setting bypasses controller response to faults during Inspection operation.
IMPORTANT
Because the directional limits are not in place, if the car is not set to Bypass Faults
on Inspection, it will not move down the hoistway.
Note that there is an Automatic Mode fault bypass accessible through the Controller System
Menu as well. Be careful you are not setting it instead of Inspection Mode bypass.
Inspection mode fault bypass remains active, even across power cycles, until set to OFF. Automatic Mode fault bypass times out after two hours.
2
On Inspection Mode bypass, only overspeed faults are recognized.
Resolving Faults
If the car does not respond to a run command, check the HC-MPU board and drive displays for
error/fault codes. Please refer to “Status and Error Messages” on page 5-2.
Error codes are displayed individually in the order of detection. It is possible that, after you correct a current error condition, another will be displayed. All errors must be resolved before the
car will operate properly.
Support for troubleshooting position and speed related faults is provided in Sections 4 and 5 of
this manual. Please refer to “MPI Diagnostic Menu” on page 4-66 and to Section 5.
2-29
Installation
Speed and Acceleration Control
Motion 4000 generates the performance curve that controls the drive and transfers that information to the drive through a serial connection. Speed, acceleration, deceleration, and jerk
parameters are set up through the F7 menu on the controller (HC-MPU board/controller on
Inspection/F7 function switch UP/all other function switches DOWN).
Even though speed and acceleration/deceleration/jerk parameters are determined by Motion
4000 settings, certain drive settings can still have a limiting effect and, if set incorrectly, can
prevent the elevator from reaching commanded speed.
Drive gear ratio, rated RPM, contract speed, roping ratio, and sheave diameter settings dictate
the fastest speed at which the drive will run the motor and must be accurately set on the drive.
In the illustration below, the dashed line labeled DRIVE CLIPPING illustrates what can happen
to the S-curve if drive settings limit commanded speed. Rather than rolling into commanded
speed, the car will drop into a steady speed state abruptly, will run at a less than commanded
speed, and will drop into deceleration abruptly. So, improper drive settings can cause failure to
achieve commanded speed and bumpy transitions at speed/acceleration transition points.
In order to operate safely in construction, particular drive parameters must be verified and set.
These parameters are set at the factory according to your job requirements but MUST BE
CHECKED for correctness BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Before powering the controller to make these settings, verify that the Inspection/Normal
switch is in the Inspection position.
Torqmax F5 AC Drive Parameters
Set drive parameters using the drive keypad. If drive parameters are not correctly set, attempting to move the elevator can be VERY DANGEROUS. MCE sets these parameters before shipment, but you must check them at the site.
Drive parameters must be correctly set. If not, elevator control can be erratic and potentially
DANGEROUS. Never change drive parameters while the elevator is running.

shipped with the controller is not available. In any case, you should use the table to verify all
settings on the elevator drive.
Before attempting to move the car, you must verify drive parameters as described in Torqmax
F5 AC Drive Parameters on page 2-31 or see “Magnetek AC Drive Table” on page 2-36.
Acceleration and Deceleration Rates
Acceleration and deceleration rates are measured and programmed in ft/s2 (feet per second per
second). Jerk parameters adjust the rate of transition from one speed to another and are mea-
sured and programmed in ft/s
correspond to curve locations as shown in the following figure. Increasing S-Curve values generally results in more aggressive runs and shorter flight times.

F7 SETTABLE
The F7 Menu
Through the F7 menu, you learn the terminal switches, drive, and machine characteristics that
influence speed and position computation. You start by uploading all parameters from the TCMPI Motion Processor Interface board, then modify as necessary and save.
Set Up for Construction Operation
Important Once set at the factory, F7 parameters are protected by positioning a jumper
on the HC-CTL board. Before you can access F7 parameters, you must set the jumper appropriately:
Changing Parameters
1.Place the car on Inspection operation.
2. Set the F7 function switch to the up position.
3. The LCD will display:
• Parameter adjust. Press Next to start. Press Select to resume.
Next Momentarily pressing Next (N) causes the MPU board to upload all parameters from
the TC-MPI Motion Processor Interface board and display the first parameter.
Select Momentarily pressing Select (S) causes the MPU board display the parameter last
viewed. This is intended to allow you to quickly access a parameter you are trying different
adjustments with, save it, then run the car to see what the changes have done.
2
Change Use the + (plus) button to increment or the - (minus) button to decrement values.
Once the value is set, momentarily press N (Next) to advance to the next parameter.
Move Back To move back to the previous parameter, press and hold N (Next), press (minus), then release both buttons together.
Saving Changes
• After setting desired parameters and with the car still on Inspection: Press S to initiate a
save operation.
The parameter viewed when the Save was initiated will be remembered. This allows you to
quickly access a parameter, modify it, save it, run the car to see the effect, then return to edit
further if needed. Scrolling to the end of the motion parameters will also initiate a save.
• Once you have saved your changes, we recommend you re-position the jumper to protect
F7 parameter settings.

Using Inspection Stations to Run
In inspection, a car operates at slow speed using up and down buttons. The car will stop when
the buttons are released.
Encoder Polarity (KEB, TorqMAX)
1.Place the car on Inspection mode.
2. Press and hold the ENABLE button while using the
Direction toggle to run the car up or down. The
brake and motor contactors should pick; the car
should move.
3. Set drive parameter LF.93 to display motor current.
4. If the car oscillates at zero speed, moves at slow
speed, or trips the E.ENCC drive fault, change drive
parameter LF.28 (0 to/from 1) to internally swap
encoder channels. If the motor draws normal current (LF.93 = 30 - 40% of motor FLA) but the car
moves in the opposite of the direction commanded,
set LF.28 to “2” to reverse motor rotation.

1.Move the elevator on Inspection and verify that the motor is under control and rotating
in the proper direction.
For proper operation, motor phasing must match encoder feedback phasing. If the phasing is
not correct, the motor will not accelerate up to speed. It will typically oscillate back and forth at
zero speed and the current will be at the torque limit.
2. If the motor operates as described above, verify that the encoder is wired as shown in
the prints. If it is, swap any two motor phases.
3. If the motor operates properly but is turning in the wrong direction, change the Motor

Hoistway Safety String
1.Install hoistway safety string devices as shown in your job prints.
2. Install final limit switches at each terminal.
3. Test each device individually after the string is complete to see that it does in fact open
the safety string as it should.
In Motion 4000 installations, Final Limit switches are part of the hoistway safety string and
should not open unless the car overruns the terminal landing.
Cartop Safety String
1.Install the cartop inspection station and stop switch as shown in your job prints.

Counterweight Displacement
Kit:
Two steel cables run parallel
to counterweight guide rails,
passing through a pair of
eyebolts on the counterweight. If the counterweight
moves laterally, the cable
touches the ring, completing
the circuit and providing an
alert to the controller.
Seismic Detector:
Detects and records vertical and horizontal seismic movement. Peak acceleration along each axis is detected
and stored for up to 15 seismic
events. The easy to read LCD displays
real time acceleration and angle of
deflection.
Seismic Equipment
A “ring and string” circuit detects excessive counterweight motion caused by a seismic disturbance. When motion is detected, the car will make a full stop. After stopping, the car will move
to and level at the next available floor in the direction away from the counterweight. After leveling, the car will open its doors and allow passengers to exit.
Modes of operation other than Automatic, for example Fire Phase II or Attendant mode, allow
different operating options when potential counterweight derailment has been detected.
Your job may also use a lateral and/or vertical acceleration sensor to detect seismic activity. At
this point, you should install counterweight movement detection and seismic sensors in accordance with your job prints and seismic monitor manufacturer instructions.

At this point, you should be ready to turn the car over to standard Machine Room and/or Cartop Inspection operation. All equipment, with the exception of the landing/positioning system,
the door operator, load weigher, hall call stations, and full car operating panel should now be
installed and tested for proper function.
Controller inspection warnings:
• As always when actively installing an elevator, have someone stand by the main line disconnect when power is applied or when initial attempts are made to move the car.
• Check all safety circuits are functional.
• Check all hoistway door interlocks are functional.
• Check car gate circuitry is functional.
Prior to Applying Power:
• Verify all circuits are wired to the controller properly.
• Check the following items:
• Inspection switch to INSP
• Verify, with an ohmmeter, that the governor overspeed switch and any other devices that
are wired in at this time will open the safety circuit.
• Physically verify that all hoistway doors are closed and locked.
• Verify that any temporary jumpers placed for equipment that has now been installed are
removed.
Controller Power Up
After powering up the controller, check the following:
1.If the LCD is displaying an error message, troubleshoot to resolve the issue. (Please refer
to Section 5.)
2. Check that the LCD displays INSPECTION.
3. Using the Enable button and the Up/Down toggle, run the car.
4. Release the Enable button and note that machine and brake power are released and that
the brake drops and holds the car.
5. Run the car and use the hand-held tach to verify inspection speed.

Landing/Positioning System
Depending upon job requirements, Motion 4000 may use an encoded magnetic tape landing
system (ELGO) or a perforated steel tape system (LS-EDGE). This section describes both systems. LS-EDGE NEMA 4X/12 systems use stainless steel hoistway components and a sealed
sensor head but are otherwise installed just as are standard systems.
LS-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.
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 the CAT-5 electrical cables required to connect the sensor to the car top
interface box.
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.

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.

The tape detector switch is mounted backwards for protection during shipment. You will need
to remove it and mount it as shown above. Position the switch so that the switch cam holds it
closed when tape tension is adjusted appropriately for the hoistway. Note that switch position
should be adjusted so that the switch is held closed by the cam but not so close that the switch is
held against its mechanical stops. The switch closes at approximately 50% of travel.
Tape Hanging
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.
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 highrise 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.
Door Zone, Terminal, and ETS Magnets
5.5-inch strip magnets are used at each floor/opening position. Front and rear magnet alignment is shown on the sensor top label. Looking at the perforated tape from the elevator car, the
magnets for the front door zone are mounted to the left of the perforated holes; magnets for the
rear door zone are mounted to the right of the holes. For Motion 4000 installations, special
