Final Adjustment
4-6 Manual # 42-02-1P28 A3
Test Mode Operation
The purpose of TEST mode is to allow easy and convenient full-speed operation of the car so
that the final adjustments can be made without cycling the doors. When the elevator is operated
in the TEST mode, the elevator doors do not open. The door open functions are disabled during
TEST mode operation.
The car is put into TEST mode by placing the TEST/NORMAL switch on the HC-CTL-2 Main
Control board in the TEST position. Note that when the TEST/NORMAL switch is in the TEST
position, it puts the car into Test Mode, provided that the Car Top Inspection and MACHINE
ROOM INSPECTION switches are in the NORM or normal positions. In that case, the LCD
should show TEST MODE and not NORMAL. If the expected indication is not displayed,
check to see what message is being displayed and correct the problem. Operation while in TEST
mode should be easy to understand by knowing the following:
1. Every time the car stops, a non-interference timer is started and the timer must elapse
before the car can move again. Once the timer has elapsed, the car will move as soon as
the next car call is registered. If a car call is placed right after the car stops, the non-
interference timer must elapse.
2. In TEST mode, if multiple calls are registered, the car will not automatically move from
call to call unless a jumper is placed continuously between 1 bus and terminal DCB on
the HC-CTL-2 board (or 1 bus to the terminal of the last call placed). While using TEST
mode, for convenience you may want to leave a jumper continuously between 1 bus and
terminal DCB.
3. If a jumper from terminal 1 is touched to the car call input for the floor where the car is
located, it will reestablish the non-interference timer and it must elapse before the car
can move again.
4. If the elevator is trying to level, it will not pick high speed and leave the landing until it
has completed the leveling process. If the car overshoots landings, the valves and/or
direction limits at terminal landings may need to be adjusted.
5. If any of the inputs that open the door are active (Safety Edge On, Photo Eye On, Car
Call input for the floor matching the Position Indicator jumpered to 1 bus, etc.) the car
will not leave the landing.
6. Slowdown switch inputs (DSL1 and DSL2 for the bottom terminal and USL1 and USL2
for the top terminal) should never be inactive at the same time when the doors are
closed and locked and the safety circuit is closed.
