6.2.1 Fixation of the top tension lock
• The system integrator can chose to mount the code
tape on any place in the elevator hoistway.
• The mounting must fulfill the criteria for the code tape
presence control given in the APS Safety Manual.
• The installer has strictly to follow the system
integrator‘s instructions.
• Make sure the code tape hangs straight down without
twisting.
• Important: To read the code tape, the sensor
needs to maintain an uninterrupted sight of it and a
constant distance of 105 mm ±15 mm.
• Important: Make sure the APS sensor can read
the code tape at every possible elevator position,
including where it crosses into the emergency limit
switch.
6.2.2 Removing the code tape from the box
The code tape box is used as a reel when uncoiling.
Open the box exactly as instructed to ensure
comfortable and fast APS installation.
The code tape uncoils with the highest position first
and the lowest position last. The highest value is equal
to the top position, the lowest value is equal to the
bottom position.
The code starts at any arbitrary value.
1. Open the code tape box at the latch (Figure 22).
Figure 22: Code tape box: Open here
2. Hold the code tape on the end piece. Carefully pull
out the code tape.

3. The code tape is now ready for uncoiling.
6.2.3 Orientation of the code tape
Important: Before mounting the code tape, make sure
that the “LEFT markings” on the code tape are on the left
side (Figure 24).

CAUTION
Possible health risks
It is the system integrator’s responsibility to
define the exact location for, and the correct
way to install, the code tape as described in
Chapter 5.5. The installer must strictly follow
the system integrator’s instructions, because
the correct installation is part of the system's
safety (depending on system integration, it
can be SIL 3).
900 mm
NOTICE
Risk of damage
Do not use the code tape if the “LEFT markings”
is on the right side. It is packed the wrong way.
Return it to CEDES for replacement. Due to
safety reasons, the installer is not allowed to
unpack the code tape in any other way.
