Landing/Positioning System

Motion 4000
ELGO
The encoded tape used for the landing system is suspended between two mounting brackets
that attach to the car rail using forged clips and hardware. If the job uses 8#, 23#, or 30# rail,
you will need an additional kit for the proper size hardware: LS-ELGO-RAIL-08#, LS-ELGO-
RAIL-23#, or LS-ELGO-RAIL-30#. The high speed Elgo positioning system sensor and
tape described here are not compatible with earlier versions. Contact MCE if you
have questions.
This information is specific to Elgo-240 standard and NEMA 4X landing systems. To be certain
you are following the correct instructions:
• Described here:
• Sensor Head about 19 inches (483mm) long
• Head label starts with LIMAX2 followed by additional characters
• Tape labeled AB20-80-10-1-R-X-15 and has arrows and UP label
• NEMA 4X systems are specifically labeled “NEMA TYPE 4X”
• NEMA 4X systems use stainless steel hangers and hardware for corrosion resistance
and a NEMA 4X rated tape switch.
Improper installation could result in failure of the tape, mounting
hardware, and reader. Please read instructions before installing!
The Motion high speed positioning system uses a permanently encoded tape running the length
of the hoistway. The tape is about 1/2-inch wide and consists of two bands; a metal band for
strength and a dark, magnetic material band that carries the actual encoding.
• The encoded side of the tape (dark side) must face the elevator car.
The arrows on the magnetic side of the tape must point in the up direction and
face the car.
