Closed Loop Induction Motor Quick Start-Up Guide
This quick start-up guide outlines the general parameters that must be changed/verified when a
drive is installed with information that is readily available. The drive will not run if ONLY these
parameters are set. Because different elevator controller manufacturers have different
interfaces, it is recommended that the parameters in the drive be set to the settings
recommended by the elevator controller in the drive technical documentation.
The following are the start-up steps.
Set/verify that the drive is set up to run in Closed Loop Vector for Control Method (U8).
Verify that the drive has an Encoder board.
NOTE: The PG-X3 is the most common card used for closed-loop induction motors. See
the Magnetek M1000 AC Elevator Drive for the PG-X3 Option Card encoder setup.
Set / verify that the hoistway parameters are set up properly.
• The Contract Car Speed (A1) should be set to the elevator contract speed in ft/min.
• The Contract Mtr Speed (A1) should be set to an RPM where the elevator contract
speed can be achieved (measured with a hand tachometer).
Set / verify that the Input Voltage (A4) is the same as the measured incoming voltage.
