Installation
2-2 Manual # 42-02-2P24
The job prints are the primary document used to install the controller. The job prints and man-
ual together provide information to install, adjust, and troubleshoot the controller. Study the
job prints and read the manual before starting work. Call MCE with any questions.
Instructions in this section assume that the hoist ropes are attached to the car sling, all hoistway
doors are closed, and that:
• The CAR SAFETY IS ADJUSTED to the manufacturer specification
• The GOVERNOR IS INSTALLED and the GOVERNOR ROPE CONNECTED to the safety
Safety
Certain fundamental warnings must be kept in mind at all times to help avoid accidental death,
severe personal injury, or equipment damage.
Personal Safety
• Motion 4000 Controllers may only be installed by qualified, licensed, trained elevator per-
sonnel familiar with the operation of microprocessor-based elevator controls.
• Verify safety devices (limits, governors, hoistway locks, car gate, etc.) are fully functional
before running the elevator. Never operate controls with any safety device inoperative.
• The user is responsible for complying with the current National Electrical Code with
respect to the overall installation of equipment and proper sizing of electrical conductors.
• The user is responsible for understanding and applying all current local, state, provincial,
and federal codes that govern practices such as controller placement, applicability, wiring
protection, disconnections, over-current protection, and grounding procedures.
• Controller equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected. Never operate con-
trols with covers removed from drive or brake controls.
• After AC power has been removed, internal capacitors can remain charged for up to 5 min-
utes. Wait at least 5 minutes after power down before touching any internal components.
• To reduce the risk of shock, all equipment should be securely grounded to earth ground.
Failure to obtain an actual earth ground may result in electrical shock to personnel. Pro-
vide equipment grounding in accordance with local code and NEC Article 250.
• When using test equipment (oscilloscopes, etc.) with a power cord that electrically ties
probe common to earth ground, an isolation transformer should be used to isolate the
instrument common from earth ground.
• Remain clear of all rotating equipment while working on the controls.
