Introduction
This manual provides and overview of the installation, set-up, and typical
operation of the Allen-Bradley hydraulic elevator and escalator starter. This solidstate starter solution is designed to operate 3-phase standard squirrel cage
induction motors and can be connected to a 6 or 12 lead Wye-Delta or standard 3
or 9 lead motors. Through the use of LINE or INSIDE-THE-DELTA control,
the solid-state solution can provide ultimate control of the motor. The advantages
of a solid-state solution include the following:
• Provides smooth motor starting.
• Reduces current surges on weak electrical systems.
• Reduces starting torque of the motor, wich helps to reduce mechanical
stress on system components.
• Helps meet both local and regional electrical codes when reduced voltage
starting is a requirement.
• Eliminates voltage and current spikes associated with traditional WyeDelta starters.
• Maximizes the life of the motor with reduced electrical strain.
• Reduces general system maintenance requirements for improved uptime.
Component Overview
The starter is made up of two components, the base controller and a fault
contactor.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Base Controller
The base controller is a standard product that uses a number of intelligent
features to provide advanced motor control and simple diagnostics. The base
controller consists of the elements necessary to control the motor. These elements
include:
• a main micro-processor
• current sensing
• built-in adjustable overload
• solid-state power modules, and
• electro-mechanical bypass contacts.
Through the use of simple DIP switch configuration, the product can be
configured for a variety of modes. The default configuration uses the built-in
current sensing to limit current to the motor during starting. Once up to speed,
the base controller transitions to the run mode by transitioning to internal bypass
contactors and changing the state of the auxillary contact. The internal bypass
contactor provides decreased heating during run and removes the SCRs from the
circuit.
Fault Contactor
The fault contactor is controlled through the fault contact of the controller.
When control power is applied to the controller, the normally open fault contact
closes and applies control power to the coil of the contactor. The fault contact
will open, removing power from the fault contactor, and thus disabling the motor
during any one of the following events:
• The power is removed from the controller.
• The motor has developed a problem including overloading due to one of
the following:
– Mechanical or electrical reasons
– Ground faults or
– Motor short circuits.
• The starter has detected an internal problem such as a shorted SCR or
overtemperature condition.

Function Overview
The Bulletin 150-E elevator panel provides solution to both advanced motor
control and simple diagnostics. The following information provides a brief
overview of the basic product features.

Soft StopThe voltage is ramped down from full voltage and applied to the motor over a
level applied to the motor over the programmed period of time. This type of motor
control produces a slow start and insures that the current does not exceed the
programmed level. This is the standard configuration of the device and aligns well
with traditional applications.

Unpacking
Mounting
Dimensions
Prior to installation, unpack the starter panel from its packaging and perform a
complete visual inspection of the panel. Inspect all components including the
controller, wiring, and fault contactor for damage related to shipping and
handling. Claims for damage must be made to the carrier as soon as possible after
receipt of the shipment.
The small footprint of the starter panel makes it ideal for mounting in the same
space previously occupied by legacy solid state starters and traditional Full
Voltage starters. The starter panel does not require mounting requirements
beyond the basic footprint of the panel.
The product may incorporate a small cooling fan. There are no additional cooling
requirements for the product. However, it is good practice to leave at least 6
inches (15.24 cm) of free space above and below the unit for ideal air flow.

Installation Precautions
The following precautions are provided as guidance for proper installation of this
controller. As this product was designed to be used in a variety of applications,
not all precautions mentioned are relevant to your particular application. In all
cases, the local codes and standards governing this type of product must be
observed.
Motor Branch Protection and Disconnecting Means
• The controller featues motor overload protection. However, it does not
have means to protect itself from a short circuit condition. Suitable branch
circuit protection and coordination must be provided per the NEC, or the
equivalent local electrical code.
Electrical Noise Suppression
• Electrical noise can be generated from various sources connected to the
same power as the controller. Sources of noise include: inductive loads (i.e.
relays and solenoids), large motors and machinery, Variable Frequency
Drives, and other high frequency devices (i.e. welders).
• Electrical noise can enter the product through power and control wiring
and cause damage to solid-state components.
• Mitigation of electrical noise can be accomplished through the following
methods:
– Proper wiring practices including grounding, use of shielded cable
where appropriate, and separation of power, control, and signaling
wires.
– Use of surge suppression devices on inductive loads.
– Use of isolation transformers for high frequency generators.
Power Factor Correction Capacitors (PFCC).
• PFCCs must always be used on the line side of the controller. Use of
PFCCs on the output side of the controller will damage the starter.

DIP Switch Settings
The 150-E elevator controller is programmed through DIP switches located on
the front of the controller. All functionality is defined by these settings. The
following tables define the settings available within the SMC™ controller. Default
settings are indicated by the shaded areas.

Table 7 - Current Limit/Initial Torque Level
Switch #1 Switch #2
In Current Limit mode, a set level of current is applied to the
motor over the start time. In Soft Start mode, the device will
ramp the torque from the initial level to 100% over the start
time.
This defines the time the controller will ramp or
limit current to the motor. The controller can
determine when the motor is up-to-speed (UTS),
therefore it may transition to bypass before this
time expires. If the motor does not reach speed
before the time expires, the controller will
continue under SCR control and not close the

The level indicated by this programming applies an
initial level of current or torque to the motor for the
start time. For example, if switch #3 is set to OFF,
the device will perform a current limit start at the
level indicated by these switches.
Soft Stop reduces the voltage applied to the
motor over the programmed period of time. The
soft stop is complete when the soft stop timer
has expired or the current measured drops below
50% of the FLA setting.

Motor FLA Requirements
The front of the SMC controller contains a dial which is used for setting the
actual FLA of the motor. The label is designed to accommodate motors
connected in the LINE or DELTA mode. To determine the proper setting, look
at the motor’s nameplate and set the dial accordingly. The dial setting can be
modified depending on the service factor of the motor.

Troubleshooting
Chapter
4
Introduction
The following topics are designed to assist in the troubleshooting and
maintenance of the SMC™ controller. The items mentioned in this section are not
intended to be all-inclusive and it is expected that these items should be used as
reference only.
For safety of maintenance personnel as well as others who might be exposed to
electrical hazards associated with maintenance activities, follow the local safety
related work practices (i.e., the NFPA 70E, Part II in the United States).
Maintenance personnel must be trained in the safety practices, procedures, and
requirements that pertain to their respective job assignments.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Hazardous voltage is present in the motor circuit even when the 150-E
controller is off. To avoid shock hazard, disconnect the main power
before working on the controller, motor, and control devices (such as
Start-Stop push buttons). Procedures that require parts of the
equipment to be energized during troubleshooting, testing, etc., must
be performed by properly qualified personnel, using appropriate local
safety work practices and precautionary measures.
ATTENTION: Disconnect the controller from the motor before
measuring insulation resistance (IR) of the motor windings.
Voltages used for insulation resistance testing can cause SCR
failure. Do not make any measurements on the controller with an IR
tester (megger).
Diagnostics Indication
The LED on the front of the product provides limited status information
regarding the condition of the controller. The conditions are as follows:
• LED Off — No control power or start command given.
• LED On — The device is active with starting, running, or stopping.
• LED Flashes — A fault has been experienced. Refer to table below for
additional explanation.
Rockwell Automation Publication150-UM0009D-EN-P - February 201123
