Installing the Serial Hall Call System
The MCE serial hall call system uses only two wires and is easier to install than traditional,
multi-wire systems. The two wires provide both power and signal to hall calls. For simplex cars
the hall call driver is located in the car controller cabinet. Please refer to “Serial Hall Call” on
page 5-30.
1. Refer to job print drawings -Serial Hall Call Details (-SH1 - SH5).
2. Set jumpers and install hall call nodes as shown in the drawings.
3. The serial hall call inputs and outputs are programmed on the iView Configuration >
Serial I/O > System tab. Please refer to “Configuration Tabs - System I/O” on page 10-
59.
4. Troubleshooting and testing of the serial hall call fixtures and lamps is accomplished
using the iView Configuration > Serial I/O > Bus tab. Please refer to “System I/O - Bus
Tab” on page 10-68.
For cars operating as part of a Group, the hall call driver is located in the Group cabinet. From
the iCentral cabinet, calls are distributed to car controllers through the MCE System Ethernet
network. Refer to your job prints and the iCue User Guide for installation and cabling instruc-
tions.
Installing the Serial COP System
With the Serial Car Operating Panel system, car call buttons connect directly to a serializing
board located in the car station enclosure. Multiple Serial COP boards daisy-chain together to
accommodate high-rise installations with a lot of call buttons. Wiring from the Serial COP
board(s) to the iLink cartop box is just a short length of shielded cable with a telephone-style
RJ-11 connector at each end. The iLink cartop box supports up to four serial control panel con-
nections. Communication between iLink and the controller is also serial, thereby reducing the
the traveler and hoistway cabling.
Instructions for installing the Serial COP system can be found in Section 5. Please refer to
“Serial COP” on page 5-49.
1. Refer to job print drawings - Cartop Details (-CTx).
2. The Serial COP inputs and outputs are programmed on the iView Configuration > I/O
Board > Configuration tab. Please refer to “Configuration - I/O Boards” on page 9-122.
Position Indicators
Connect position indicators as shown in the prints for the job. A special interface board, MC-
ZXFIX, allows Kinetek/ZXK position indicators to be used with MCE controllers. If used, con-
nection instructions are provided in the prints for the job.
