ADJUSTING DOOR DWELL TIMES
You can specify how long the controller keeps the car doors open when answering
a call. Navigate to the MAIN MENU | SETUP | DOOR SETUP menu. Use the
following parameters to set the desired dwell times:
DOOR DWELL HC
This parameter specifies how long the car will keep the doors open after
answering a hall call. It may be desirable to keep the doors open longer when
answering a hall call since the person waiting may not be at the elevator door
when it arrives at the floor.
DOOR DWELL CC
This parameter specifies how long the car will keep the doors open after
answering a car call.
DOOR DWELL REOPEN
This parameter specifies how long the car will keep the doors open after
reopening them in response to a photo-eye, safety edge, or Door Open button
being pressed. You may wish to make this timer relatively short.
NO DEMAND DOOR OPEN
This option tells the controller to keep the door open until a call demand is
entered into the system. This option is normally used when an automatic car
door is opposite a swing style hall door.
DOOR TIMEOUT OPEN/CLOSE/NUDGE
These three timers specify the maximum allowed time for the specified door
operation. For example, when the car arrives at a floor, the controller will issue
a door open command. If the controller does not see the Door Open Limit
reached within the specified Door Timeout Open period, it will attempt to cycle
the doors closed and open again. The close and nudge timeouts work in a similar
way for those door operations.
DCB CANCELS DWELL
This parameter allows the Door Close button to cancel the current door dwell
and close the doors. If this parameter is set to “no” then the Door Close button
has no effect during normal operation.
