Construction Mode
2-2 Manual # 42-02-7223
Before You Begin
Review the warnings and information in this section.
This equipment contains voltages up to 1000V, rotating motor parts, and driven machinery that can
cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel who are familiar with this manual and driven
machinery should attempt to start up or troubleshoot this equipment.
• USE EXTREME CAUTION — Do not touch circuit boards, resistors, or motor electri-
cal connections without ensuring that the unit is properly grounded and no high volt-
age is present. Do not apply AC power before grounding the equipment in accordance
with applicable local codes, the job prints, and instructions contained in this manual.
• BE CERTAIN — that any possible violent motion of the motor shaft and driven
machinery will not cause personal injury or damage. Peak torques of up to ten times
rated motor torque can occur during a control failure.
• HIGH VOLTAGE — may be present on the motor and drive whether or not AC power is
applied, even if the motor is not rotating.
• BEFORE BEGINNING WORK — read these instructions. Become familiar with proce-
dures. Proceed cautiously. These instructions assume adequate electrical trouble-
shooting experience. Follow procedures carefully and, if the elevator does not respond
correctly, obtain necessary assistance.
Overview of Construction Mode
Construction mode operation allows the car to be run on Machine Room Inspection and Cartop
Inspection with a bare minimum of field wiring. For Construction Mode operation, only the fol-
lowing are needed to run the car:
• Motor, brake, and drive
• Velocity encoder/tachometer
•Safety String
•Normal limit switches
• Door locks and door position monitor (if used)
• The Construction Mode option (iView > View > Setup> Safety > Configuration tab) must
be enabled to run the controller in Construction mode.
The cartop wiring interconnect box (iLink) is not required for Construction mode operation.
Instead, temporary wiring may be used to “bypass” the cartop safety string.
