Installation Checklist
Before installing, make sure you have what you need:
1. A fused 120, 208, or 240VAC, single-phase, 350VA minimum, supply available from the
elevator controller to the door operator. Input voltage must be within +/- 5% of speci-
fied voltage, measured at the drive terminals. (DO NOT use the car lighting circuit for
door power.)
2. A sufficient number of wires from the controller to the door operator drive:
• Two wires for power. Note that you may need to parallel wires to reduce voltage drop.
See Step 1.
• Three wires (one each) for drive common (different from controller common), door
open, and door close. One additional wire if nudging is required. One additional wire if
heavy door is required. (Three to five wires.)
• Three wires (one each) for controller common (different from drive common), DCL,
and DOL. If DCL and DOL do not share a common wire, then four wires are required.
(Three to four wires.)
• Three or four wires (one each) for auxiliary Limit #1 and Limit #2 for retiring cam,
limited door reversal, advance start, etc. are required (depending upon how these lim-
its are wired on your job).
If compliance to ASME A17.1-1996 (Rule 210.15), ASME A17.1-2000/CSA B44-00 (requirement
2.26.5) or CSA B44-94 (requirement 3.12.1.5) is required, a mechanical Door Position Monitor-
ing Switch must be provided. An MCE switch kit is available, PN# 11-24-0034.
3. Dry (unused), normally open contacts for door open and door close and/or nudging and
heavy door (position contact). (If not, can the required contacts be made available by
reusing existing contacts for the original door operator or will relays need to be installed
in the Controller or on the car?)
4. If installing an Upgrade Kit, all belts, cables, hanger rollers, gibs, clutches, linkages,
bearings, and related door operator equipment must be in good condition.
5. If installing a complete door operator, any door operator equipment being retained
must be in good condition.
6. All door operators require door open and door close bumpers. Bumpers must be in good
condition for proper operation. MCE supplies bumpers for GAL and MAC Door Opera-
tors with the upgrade kits. Most other operators already have open and close bumpers.
7. Read this User Guide before starting installation, especially the SmarTraq Adjustments
and Troubleshooting sections.
Installation
1. Remove existing motor (upgrade kit installations only). (Remember, only the SmarTraq
inverter drive may be used with a SmarTraq motor.)
2. If the car door gate switch is part of the existing limit switch box, leave it in place. Other-
wise, limit switches are not required.
3. Install the new motor.
