Test 2: Measure of the stopping space and time in DOWN direction, DMG UCM module
Before starting the test, move the empty elevator car to the floor where you want to take the measure.
During the test, the elevator car will move downwards until the end of that floor door zone; now the forced intervention
of the UCM module is activated and the elevator car will thus stop. After the elevator car has stopped, the distance
covered from the floor level is shown (to be compared to point 9.11.5 of EN81) and the stopping time since the UCM
activation. Important: the stopping distance must be calculated before, considering the sum of intervention times
(controller + stopping unit). After the test, the UCM module must be reset (menu <Faults> reset UCM).
Test 3: Measure of the stopping space and time in UP direction at rated speed
Before starting the test, move the empty elevator car to the ground floor.
During the test, the elevator car will move upwards up to the second last floor (AGH for two stops installations); now
the elevator car stops. After the elevator car has been stopped, the distance covered from the second last floor and
the stopping level and the stopping time are shown.
Test 4: Measure of the stopping space and time in DOWN direction at rated speed
Before starting the test, move the full loaded elevator car to the top floor.
During the test, the elevator car will move downwards up to the first floor (AGB for two stops installations); now the
elevator car stops. After the elevator car has been stopped, the distance covered from the first floor and the stopping
level and the stopping time are shown.
Test 5: Re-leveling test with too high elevator car (EN 81 point 14.2.1.2)
Before starting the test, move the elevator car to the floor where you want to take the measure.
During the test, the elevator car will move upwards until the re-leveling function is activated; now the elevator car is
re-leveled. After the elevator car has stopped, the distance at which the re-leveling starts and the intervention time
are shown. We recommend to perform the test at each floor to check the correct installation of the re-leveling
sensors.
Test 6: Re-leveling test with too low elevator car (EN 81 point 14.2.1.2)
Before starting the test, move the elevator car to the floor where you want to take the measure.
During the test the elevator car will move downwards until the re-leveling function is activated; now the elevator car is
re-leveled. After the elevator car has stopped, the distance at which the re-leveling starts and the intervention time
are shown. We recommend to perform the test at each floor to check the correct installation of the re-leveling
sensors.
Test 7: Final limit switch test (EN 81 point 10.5)
Before starting the test, move the elevator car to the ground or top floor.
During the test the elevator car will move towards the shaft end until the safety chain opens (or until the FCO input is
detected). After the elevator car has stopped, the distance between the intervention floor and the limit switch
intervention and the status of FCO input (NO contact for registering the limit switch intervention) are shown. The
elevator car can be moved beyond the limit switch through the inspection control panel in the machine room (in
inspection mode the movement beyond the top and bottom floor is disabled) to put the elevator car or the
counterweight on the shock absorbers and perform the rope slipping test. Move the elevator car out of the limit switch
area and put the installation in normal operation mode (if the second NO contact of the FCO input is connected, you
must reset FCO in the menu “Faults”).
Test 8: Motor run time test (EN 81 point 12.10)
Before starting the test, move the elevator car to the ground or top floor.
During the test the elevator car will move towards the opposite extreme floor at null speed. After 5 seconds, the
up/down run time error will be detected (check in the menu “Faults”). Clear all errors to put the installation in normal
operation mode again.
Test 9: System balancing test
Before starting the test, place the cab on the ground floor with the weight suited to balance the system itself (typically
50% of the maximum load). During the test the cabin will start in the direction of the highest floor and the absorbed
current at the middle of the shaft will be displayed. The cabin will then move to the lowest floor, once again displaying
the absorbed current at the middle of the shaft. The values will also be preserved after the end of the test for
