WARRANTY

Products sold by Smartrise Engineering (Smartrise) are warranted to be free from defects in
workmanship and material for a period of fifteen (15) months from the date of shipment. Any
products defective in workmanship or material shall, at the discretion of Smartrise, be repaired
or replaced at no charge to the Buyer. Determination as to whether a product is defective and
eligible for an authorized return rests with Smartrise. The obligation of Smartrise shall be limited
solely to that of repairing or replacing of defective products returned to Smartrise by the Buyer.
It is the obligation of the Buyer to return defective products to Smartrise with all parts and
documentation. A return merchandise authorization (RMA) number must be obtained from
Smartrise prior to returning products.

Smartrise makes no warranty as to the fitness of its products for any application not specified in
writing by Smartrise. Use of Smartrise products in any unauthorized manner will void this
warranty and may cause damage to the product and/or injury.

This warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, including, but
not limited to, any warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose and
therefore, the Buyer hereby waives any and all claims.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

In no event shall Smartrise Engineering be liable for loss of profit, indirect, consequential, or
incidental damages whether arising out of warranty, breach of contract or tort. Failure to
understand the elevator control system could result in damage to the system and possibly even
danger to the passengers. Only properly trained and qualified personnel should attempt to work
on the system.

CODE COMPLIANCE

Smartrise controllers are certified by ASME A17/CSA B44 and the State of California. Depending
on the jurisdiction where the controller is operating, it will be configured per the specific local
code requirements as specified by the buyer.

PERSONAL SAFETY: PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR DEATH MAY OCCUR

Smartrise Engineering controllers should only be installed by qualified, licensed, trained elevator
personnel familiar with the operation of microprocessor-based elevator controls. All safety
devices, known as electronic protective devices (limits, governors, hoistway locks, car gate, etc.)
shall be tested to be fully functional prior to attempting to run the elevator. Never operate the
system with any safety device rendered inoperative in any way. The User is responsible for
compliance with the current National Electrical Code with respect to the overall installation of
the equipment, and 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
which govern practices such as controller placement, applicability, wiring protection,
disconnections, over current protection, and grounding procedures. To prevent the risk of
personal shock, all equipment should be securely grounded to earth ground as outlined in the
National Electrical Code. Failure to obtain an actual earth ground source may result in electrical
shock to personnel.

EQUIPMENT SAFETY

All equipment chassis should be securely grounded to earth ground as outlined in the National
Electrical Code. Improper grounding is the most common cause of electrical component failures
and electrically noise-induced problems. All component replacement must be done with the
main line power off. Unauthorized modifications to circuits or components should not be
attempted without Smartrise Engineering authorization to ensure all safety features are
maintained. Care should be taken when using test leads and jumpers to avoid applying high
voltage or ground to low voltage microprocessor circuits.

CONTROLLER GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

NOTE – For the controller to function properly it is very important to
provide proper building ground connections to the controller.

 Examples of a proper building-to-controller ground connection is

to attach the ground cable to:

 The street side of the incoming water main.
 To a grounding rod that has been driven into the pit flooring.

 The controller has a common ground bus terminal connection.

 All grounds need to land at this common point including building,

motor, transformer, and filter grounds. This prevents ground loops,
and will limit the impedance between the grounds and noise will
be channeled back to building ground.

Providing a proper ground is mandatory and will improve the

performance of the controller.

GENERAL INFORMATION

THE JOB BINDER

The job binder is a 2.5” white binder that contains specific information about the job
you are installing. The cover contains the job name and job number that is required
for technical support with Smartrise Engineering. This binder should be kept at the
jobsite at all times for future reference and troubleshooting.

COMPONENTS

The following components are included in each job binder.

1. Software

a. The binder contains a 256meg USB flash drive that contains all the software,

drawings and programs needed for each specific job.

2. Drawings or Prints

a. There are anywhere from 13 to 17 sheets of drawings that pertain to that

specific controller. These prints include an index indicating the job specifics,
tables that show correct dip switch settings, jumper settings for individual
boards, and factory and field wiring diagrams and generic wiring references.

i. The solid lines on the prints show factory installed wiring.

ii. The dashed lines show installer wiring.

b. If the voltages or wiring for your job does not match the Job Specification table

on the ‘Sheet 01: Getting Started’ page of the drawings, contact Smartrise
Engineering for clarification before powering up.

3. Manual

a. The Equipment Installation Manual contains useful information for installation,

testing, adjusting, troubleshooting, menu navigation and much more.

Common Installation Issues & Procedures
CARTOP COMMUNICATION ISSUES

Make sure to connect the shield of the CN+/CN- shielded pair to reference (REF) on
both ends. This communication cable part of the traveler located between the
machine room and car top board. Make sure the CN+ & CN- wires are connected to
the same terminals in the machine room as well as the cartop DIN rails.

Special Note on 2-Board Systems – Make sure the software on the COP SRU
says “Prewire CT” and NOT “Prewire COP”. Prewire COP software WILL NOT

communicate with the machine room SRU board.

HALL BOARD COMMUNICATION TESTING

To test communication on any hall board turn on Dip Switch 8. The two green LEDs
on the hall board blink indicating it is transmitting and receiving communication
from the machine room. This is a test dip switch only. Do this one floor at a time
when installing the hall boards; it will confirm that the wiring and board are good.
Always do this before moving onto the next floor.

JUMPING OUT UNUSED INPUTS

If the drawings show a normally closed contact for an Input your system does not
require, apply a jumper from 24vdc to the specified Input terminal. All Smartrise
boards Receive 24vdc inputs ONLY and provide 24vdc reference via programmed

outputs.

Entering Car Calls

You can enter a car call from the Machine Room or Cartop SRU by going to MAIN
MENU | DEBUG | ENTER CAR CALLS and using the Up/Down arrow keys to select

a floor to go to. Press the Enter button to latch that floor.

NOTE: There will be a noticeable delay between the time a call is latched and
the time the car actually initiates the call. This is normal because the call is
initiated through the software and not the physical car call button.

*** Note: Before getting started, take a few minutes learning to
navigate the LCD reader of the Smartrise board. The board and the
menu options are the same for all locations (MR, CT or COP) and all
menu items are located in Appendix A – Smartrise Menu Definitions ***

SRU LED Indicator Table

Each LED on the SRU board has a reference designator next to it. The table below
explains the function of each LED.

You will notice that the LEDs come in three colors: red, yellow, and green.

 Red indicates a problem. Either a fault has been detected or the board is

resetting.

 Yellow is used to indicate an active output terminal.
 Green is used to show power on an input terminal, power to the board, and

as a “heartbeat” to show the software is running on the two processors.

 The heartbeat is displayed by the CPU LEDs (063 and 064) which flash when

the board is functioning.

Inputs

The input terminals are labeled 501 through 548. Each terminal has a green LED
next to it which indicates when there is power present on the input. Inputs are
designed for DC current only. Putting AC current on an input will damage it.

Outputs

The yellow LED indicates the output transistor is on and current can flow
through the output terminal. The output terminal provides a reference (REF)
signal which means it will always connect to the negative side of the load. The
positive side of the load should be connected to a +24vDC power source.

** Never connect +24vDC directly to the output terminal. Without a load to
limit the current, the output transistor may be damaged. **

When the yellow LED is off, it means the output transistor is also off which
means any load connected to it will not be actuated.

12

DIP Switches and Jumpers (Rev 8 bds.)

The Revision 8 SRU board has two sets of DIP switches, each containing eight
switches. The sets are labeled A and B and are located in the lower right area of
the board. The table below explains their functions.

GENERAL INSTALLATION

While Smartrise takes every measure to provide the
customer with an out of box installation, sometimes

incomplete information leads to default values being

set on equipment and voltage settings. This is done
to protect your equipment from overvoltage issues.

[For example, the door operator for your job might

operate on 240vac but Smartrise wasn’t supplied with

that information when the job was developed,

therefore, the DR breaker (door operator voltage

supply) will be set to 120vac for safety reasons.]

Please take a moment to verify that all required

voltages for the existing equipment matches the

voltages set by Smartrise PRIOR TO POWERING UP

THE CONTROLLER. You can verify this with the

drawings provided in your job binder.

SOFT START SETUP – SPRECHER + SCHUH

SETUP

 Verify the motor line or delta configuration and ensure that DIP switch 15 on

the Soft Starter reflects this configuration.

 If the Soft Start faults out upon initial up run command, check for a red-

blinking LED on the Soft Start and count the number of times it illuminates
sequentially before a brief pause.

o The most likely cause is a line rotation issue which can be resolved by

switching T1 & T2 motor leads or change DIP switch 9 on the soft starter
to its alternate position (refer to “Sprecher + Schuh PCE Soft Start Dip
Switch Settings”).

o After changing the position of this switch, press the Reset Button adjacent

to the DIP switch group.

 A noisy pump motor usually indicates a motor wiring issue. Check the pump

motor wiring and make sure it’s connected per the manufacturers
specifications.

 If problems persist, refer to the Sprecher + Schuh manual for all faults

associated with the light.

26

Troubleshooting

If the Smartrise controller indicates a “Drive Fault” and the softstart has the fault
LED flashing, refer to the following table for troubleshooting:

27

1) If the pump is too noisy or the motor is running in the wrong direction, it can

usually be fixed by swapping any two main lines.

2) If the car doesn’t move verify that the valve relays are turning on when a

direction is given (i.e. UPL and SM for Up direction, DNL for Down direction).
If they are then check the wiring and voltages to the valves.

3) At this point the car should be able to run using Construction Mode. Use this

mode to adjust your valves, install the traveler, tape, and the permanent
safety string.

4) Adjust your valves as required to get proper starts, stops, and run speeds.

There are two parameters that affect the pump motor during starts and
stops.

a. MAIN MENU | SETUP | TIMERS | UP TO SPEED DELAY

i. This parameter allows the pump motor to run for a specified amount

of time at the start of a run before opening the UP valves.

b. MAIN MENU | SETUP | TIMERS | PUMP OFF DELAY

i. This parameter allows the pump motor to continue running for a

specified amount of time at the end of a run after closing the UP
valves.

Sprecher + Schuh PCE Soft Start Dip Switch Settings

The PCE elevator controller is programmed through dipswitches located on
the front of the controller. Default settings are indicated by the shaded
