PERSONAL SAFETY: PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR DEATH MAY OCCUR
Smartrise Engineering controllers should only be installed by qualified, licensed, trained elevator
personnel familiar with the operation of microprocessor-based elevator controls. All safety
devices, known as electronic protective devices (limits, governors, hoistway locks, car gate, etc.)
shall be tested to be fully functional prior to attempting to run the elevator. Never operate the
system with any safety device rendered inoperative in any way. The User is responsible for
compliance with the current National Electrical Code with respect to the overall installation of
the equipment, and proper sizing of electrical conductors connected to the controls. The User is
responsible for understanding and applying all current Local, State, Provincial, and Federal Codes
which govern practices such as controller placement, applicability, wiring protection,
disconnections, over current protection, and grounding procedures. To prevent the risk of
personal shock, all equipment should be securely grounded to earth ground as outlined in the
National Electrical Code. Failure to obtain an actual earth ground source may result in electrical
shock to personnel.
EQUIPMENT SAFETY
All equipment chassis should be securely grounded to earth ground as outlined in the National
Electrical Code. Improper grounding is the most common cause of electrical component failures
and electrically noise-induced problems. All component replacement must be done with the
main line power off. Unauthorized modifications to circuits or components should not be
attempted without Smartrise Engineering authorization to ensure all safety features are
maintained. Care should be taken when using test leads and jumpers to avoid applying high
voltage or ground to low voltage microprocessor circuits.
