12 Adding Weights to an Empty Car
The initial setup is complete for an empty car. The same settings for the slowdown distance and
speed of an empty car are used with a car which has various amounts of load added until the
car is fully loaded.
To verify the slowdown distance and speed of a car with a load, add a 500 pound load to the
car. Place a car call for one floor and a multi floor run in both directions. Observe if the car
overshoots and relevels or has a long leveling time. If the valves are not regulated, the
deceleration rate or the steady state of leveling are affected. The deceleration rate will increase
or the leveling speed will decrease as the weight of the car increases.
• If the car overshoots, increase the slowdown distance.
• If the leveling time is too long, decrease the slowdown distance. If the valves are not
regulated and leveling time is longer, do not change the slowdown distance.
For fine tuning the slow down distance, observe what is the maximum speed of the car before it
starts slowing down.
Note: Adjustments made on Slowdown Distance Up and Slowdown Distance Down will not take
affect while Adaptive Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending) is active, refer to the Adaptive
Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending) Procedure.
Navigate to SET UP | HYDRO | SLOWDOWN DISTANCE UP and SLOWDOWN DISTANCE
DOWN.
View the current Slowdown Distance.
Due to multiple speed thresholds and slowdown distances, select the slowdown
distance for the speed the car is running at. DO NOT generate the threshold and
distance after fine tuning the slowdown distance. This will override the fine-tuning
values and generate new slowdowns depending on the factor in the up/down
adjustments.
