11. General Installation Guidelines
11.1. Step by Step Installation Sequence
The following sequence should be followed when installing the panel and commissioning the lift.
Use the “Checklist” screen to aid installation and testing.
Press: Checklist
1) Install main control panel and motor wiring.
Follow the wiring diagrams, adhering strictly to the EMC guidelines on the drawings and later in this chapter.
2) Auto-tune the motor at this point, see chapter on Traction Installation for details or if hydraulic see
chapter on Hydraulic Installation.
The Ethos Two can be used in hoist mode via “Hoist Mode” button. This allows the motor to run if the panel
is on Inspection Control (TTR) or Emergency Electrical Operation (PTR). It will ignore missing car and call
modules and ignore missing door limits and TFR/BFR limits.
3) Install the shaft and car ancillary equipment.
Whilst on hoist mode the car maybe used as a platform to install shaft equipment. See Annex A for a list of
devices that need to be fitted to allow the panel to run on hoist mode.
4) Install car module and shaft encoder equipment e.g. Limax reader (if applicable).
Press: Checklist → Jog Up/Down
5) Check shaft equipment.
Once all equipment has been installed and proven, check door zone signals and BFR/TFR operation.
Door Zone instructions can be found in Appendix B and C.
Check motor is rotating in the correct direction. Check shaft encoder feedback devices are counting in the
correct direction. In the jog screen the count direction can be reversed for both the main encoder and the
ETSD encoder (if fitted). Also the serial drive command direction can be reversed press “Drive Forward =
Up” to reverse.
Press: Checklist → Limax Safe Setup (only if Limax3CP shaft encoder fitted)
6) Teach travel limits of the shaft.
Use Emergency Electrical Operation to move the lift to the extremes of the shaft and teach the reference
positions. See Appendix G for Limax3CP Setup details.
Press: Checklist → Drive Settings
7) Traction Only - Check Brake / Start / Stop Timing.
For traction lifts use this menu and settings in the drive to achieve correct brake lift and application timing.
For E300 starting adjust “Pattern Delay” time in the Ethos - this delays the ramp up of speed demand until
the brake has lifted. If drive start lock (#I22) is enabled the brake control release delay (#D04) can also be
adjusted to give time for the brake to lift before the run profile is followed. On an RFC-S Servo system the
torque ramp (#D02) can be adjusted to eliminate the magnetization bump effect on start and stopping.
Make sure the “Pattern Delay” is set 200mS greater than the drive #D04 timer, default
is 500mS for the “Pattern Delay” and 300mS for the #D04 brake control release delay
drive timer, if this isn’t correct the drive may not follow the pattern correctly.
