Terminal Switch Configuration
The Element controller’s “Terminal Switch Learn” is used to configure virtual NTS/ETS/ETSL
switches and to determine optimal placement of physical switches and magnets. Before posi-
tioning physical ETS/ETSL switches in the hoistway or ETS-LS magnets on the tape or rail, con-
figure the controller with VIRTUAL NTS and ETS switches (CONFIG02 > ETS Switches). Then
using (UTIL > LANDING SYSTEM UTILITIES > TERMINAL SWITCH LEARN), enter the
desired percentage of rated car speed at which the car should be traveling when each switch is
encountered. Follow on-screen instructions for learning terminal switch configuration.
In the following table, enter the values generated for each of the switches and place physical
switches and/or magnets accordingly. Where physical switches and/or landing system magnets
are used for ETS/ETS-LS/ETSL, these will need to be enabled in the CONFIG02 > ETS switch
screen and the Terminal Switch Learn process will need to be repeated before the Safety Tests
are done and the car is turned over.
Note: For reduced stroke buffers, the Terminal Switch Learn process will need to be done twice
to generate recommended distances and speeds for both ETS magnets on the landing system
tape (ETS-LS) and ETSL cam-actuated switches in the hoistway (see Terminal Switch Learn on
page 1-57).
* Where magnets are placed on the tape as an ETS backup, manually enter the UETS/DETS speed in the
CONFIG 02 > ETS Switches > U/DETS-LS OVERSPEED box.
** For reduced stroke buffers only. ETSL % = ETS % x Rated Buffer Speed/Rated Car Speed
Table 1.2 Recommended Emergency Terminal Switch Configuration Calculation
Caution: When performing the ETSLD test, be sure that the speed entered for the test [UTILS > SAFETY TESTS >
COMLIANCE TESTING > SPEED] does not exceed the rated buffer speed.
