Inspection Mode

Run Testing

1. Verify all landing system magnets are installed according to job prints and instructions.
2. On inspection mode, run the car to the midpoint of the hoistway.
3. Set the iBox Test switch to the ON position.
4. Place the car on Machine Room Inspection, with Cartop Inspection OFF.
At this point, the car should be on Inspection operation and running without oscillation. There
may be substantial rollback when the car first starts.
5. On the iView Virtual Oscilloscope, set Test point 1 to Pattern (Command).
6. Use a digital voltmeter to check the pattern voltage on iBox test point STP1 with respect
to the Common terminal.
7. Verify that Pattern scaling is at 100% (Configuration > Pattern > Common tab) and the
Inspection - High speed parameter is at 10% of contract speed (Configuration > Pattern
> Modes tab). Maximum value for Inspection - High speed is 150fpm. Verify that the
Reduced inspection speed option is enabled and that Inspection - Low speed is set to 25
fpm.
8. Run the car on Inspection and check the voltage at iBox test point STP1. If 8.0VDC is
equal to contract speed, then the reading at 10% should be 0.8VDC (+/- 5%).
9. Set Inspection - High speed to 50fpm.
10. On Inspection, run the car to, or near, the bottom landing. Use test weights to load the
car to 125% of full load in preparation for checking the ability of the brake to hold this
weight.
Danger
If the brake does not hold, the car may slide into the pit. Use extreme caution.
11. On Machine Room Inspection, run the car up the hoistway sufficiently to allow a down
direction run.
12. On Machine Room Inspection, run the car down the hoistway. While the car is moving,
set the iBox Controller Stop switch to STOP to force the brake to apply while the car is
moving. If necessary, adjust the brake to hold the load.
13. Remove the weights from the car.
