6. Commissioning  
 
 
Before commissioning the machine, the following points should be checked 
and carried out: 
 
•  Safety, auxiliary and installation tools removed from the danger zone 
•  Setup and alignment of machine, frame and rope departure checked 
•  Mounting of the machine and base frame checked 
•  Bolts tightened and secured with the prescribed torque (see Tightening 
torques, Chapter 9) 
•  Brake shoe stroke and setting checked (Chapter 7) 
•  Setting and function of the brake test switch checked (Chapter 7) 
•  Brake test carried out with one brake shoe in each case (Chapter 7) 
•  Function of handbrake release checked 
•  Rope protection cover fitted, function of safety shutdown device on 
removing the traction sheave hood checked 
•  Power connections, earthing of motor, forced ventilation and brake 
magnet connected and checked  
•  Special add-on components (optional) mounted and function checked 
•  Direction arrow (Up/Down) attached in a clearly visible position above the 
traction sheave on the brake vane magnet according to the direction of 
travel 
(the sign and a brief description are enclosed in the brochure bag 
attached to the drive) 
 
 
Important: If the drive is to be operated with a brake control circuit as a 
substitute for an emergency braking device (safety gear) in the upward 
direction  
according to ABV 502/1 (see Appendix), we would like to expressly point out 
that the elevator system may only be put into operation with a functioning 
brake monitoring system!  
Under no circumstances may the feedback cable or brake test switch be 
disconnected to put the installation into operation without a brake test switch 
by resetting the non-volatile memory (EPROM).  
Ignoring this instruction can endanger persons.
