18.4.9.1 Overshooting
The slowdown distance is dependent upon the speed of the car. As more weight is added to the
car, the speed and the slow down time of the car may decrease. If the car overshoots, the slow
down distance needs to increase to give the car more time to slow down. If the valves are
regulated, the speed of the car may not change.
The following procedure describes how to resolve car overshooting.
Navigate to MAIN MENU | SETUP | HYDRO. See Figure 60.
From the HYDRO SETUP menu, scroll and select Slowdown Distance Up. See Figure 317.
Select the slowdown distance for the speed the car is running at. Scroll to find the
correct slowdown distance to adjust. See Figure 318.
The high speed of the car must be less than the speed threshold. For example, after
adding weights the high speed of the car is 100 fpm, select the speed threshold with
speed of 105 fpm.
Increase the slowdown distance up from 2’ 09” to 3’ 02”. Place a car calls in up direction
and see if the car still overshoots the floor. Repeat these steps if the car still overshoots
the floor.

Scroll right and press Save.
Continue adding a load to the car and verifying the slowdowns until the car is fully loaded.
18.4.9.2 Steady State of Leveling is Longer
When weight is added to the car, it might take longer than normal for the car to level.
Decreasing the slowdown distance decreases the time it takes for the car to level. The speed
threshold too adjust is dependent upon the speed the car is traveling.
The following procedure describes how to resolve car steady state of leveling is longer.
Navigate to MAIN MENU | SETUP | HYDRO. See Figure 60.
From the HYDRO SETUP menu, scroll and select Slowdown Distance Down. See Figure
317.
Select the slowdown distance for the speed the car is running at. Scroll to find the
correct slowdown distance to adjust. See Figure 319.
The high speed of the car must be less than the speed threshold. For example, after
adding weights the high speed of the car is 100 fpm, select the speed threshold with
speed of 105 fpm.
