Figure 331: ENABLE SLOWDOWN Menu – Slowdown Learn
Allow the car to run from Floor to Floor for 2 full cycles to adjust the slowdown distance.
It is recommended to run the car empty during the first 2 cycles to allow the car to
measure the slowdown distance accurately.
18.4.8.2 Troubleshoot Adaptive Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending)
The following steps are used to troubleshoot the car based on different occurrences:
• The car is overshooting the landing - Overshooting occurs if the leveling time is set too
short to allow for the weight fluctuation in slowdown distance, then car will take a
significant step back by increasing the slowdown distance. the Adaptive Slowdown™
system (U.S. Patent Pending) will decrease the distance until an overshoot occurs.
• Increase the Target Time in increments of .5 seconds and repeat step 4 of the
procedure.
Figure 332: Slowdown Target-increase
• Car is taking too long arriving to the landing – The car will decrease the leveling time in
increments of .1 seconds based on the initial Hydro Speed Setup until the Target Time
on Adaptive Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending) is met and will continue to
fluctuate between the range. Decreasing the range will decrease the fluctuation of the
learning distance.
• Decrease the Target Time in increments of .5 seconds and repeat step 4 of the
procedure.

• The car is misaligned with the landing – The car is at the door zone, but slightly above
or below the landing.
