Hoistway Control Equipment Installation
This section covers the recommended procedures for installing the LS-QUTE or LS-EDGE land-
ing systems.
Installing the LS-QUTE Landing System
Refer to the installation drawings for additional information.
Installing the LS-QUTE Landing System Control Box
Refer to the drawings in the job prints.
• The location for the landing system box should have already been selected.
• Holes are available on both sides and on the bottom of the landing system box for mount-
ing to any support brackets or structural channels. The mounting of the box should be very
firm and solid so that knocking it out of alignment would be difficult. Use 1/4-20 hard-
ware.
• To install the tape into the tape guides on the LS-QUTE landing system box, remove the 2
thumbscrews on the 2 guide assemblies, insert the tape and reinstall the guides and
thumbscrews (tighten firmly). If the installation has the LS-QUTE car top selector with the
additional sensor bracket on the rear of the tape, first remove the three 8-32 screws hold-
ing the protective 1" wide channel. This channel covers the back of the Door Zone sensors
on the upper tape guide bracket. Remove the single standoff that is in the way of the
thumbscrew holding the tape guide. Remove the thumbscrews holding the upper and
lower tape guides, insert the tape, and reinstall the guides with the thumbscrews (tighten
firmly). Reinstall the standoff (do not over-tighten) and the protective channel.
• After inserting the steel tape into the tape guides, check the location of the landing system
box. The car should be at the top of the hoistway to make it easier to see if the alignment is
causing any stress or binding on the tape guides. Make sure that the box is vertical and
plumb with the tape. This allows for easy tape movement and avoids excessive wear on the
tape guides (using a level is helpful). Be careful so as to avoid premature failure of the tape
guides.
• Move the elevator to the top and bottom of the hoistway to check for smooth tape move-
ment and to make sure that there is no excessive pressure on the tape guides. Correct any
problems immediately.
