Leveling Overspeed Test

This test verifies that the leveling zone does not exceed the maximum allowable distance and
that the leveling speed does not exceed 150 ft/min (0.75 m/s). (NOTE: Be sure to make note of
the original parameter values so they can be restored after the test):
1. On the Configuration > Drive > General tab, set Emergency rate limited stop = 25 ft/s
2. On the Setup > Safety > Configuration tab, set Leveling overspeed = 7 fpm and click
Send. Then perform the Learn operation.
3. On the Configuration > Pattern > Common tab, set Leveling distance = 4 in, set Level-
ing speed = 9 fpm, and click Send.
4. Place a call to any landing. Verify that when the car enters the leveling zone, the system
detects a Safety A (or B) Inspection Leveling Overspeed Fault and performs an emer-
gency stop. Following the emergency stop the car should level into the floor, if neces-
sary. (NOTE: If the car is unable to relevel into the floor and the fault is generated 5
times, the fault will become persistent and the iBox Fault Reset button must be pressed
to reset the fault. It may be necessary to restore the parameters that were changed in
steps 1 through 3 in order for the car to relevel to the floor.)
5. Restore the parameters that were changed in steps 1 through 3 to their original values.

Emergency Brake Test - Unintended Motion - Rope Brake

Danger
The Emergency Brake test allows the car to leave the floor with doors open. Station person-
nel or use a positive means to make certain there is NO ONE in the car.
This test is to be used for installations using a rope brake for the emergency brake. This test ver-
ifies that moving the car away from a landing with both the car and hoistway doors open
(termed "Unintended Motion") will cause the Emergency Brake (Rope Brake) to be deployed
and that such deployment will stop the elevator. This test also demonstrates that the emergency
brake will stop the car within 48" from the floor level if it drifts. No "Test speed" entry is
required for this test.
1. Load the car as required, empty car going up or 125% of full load going down.
2. Move the car to the landing where the test is to be performed.
3. For safety, station a mechanic at the landing where the test is to be performed.
4. On the iView Safety Tests tab, select the Emergency Brake Test - Unintended Motion
(View > Safety Tests > Test Name parameter).
5. Follow on-screen instructions "To perform an unintended motion test-".
6. Once the test has been armed and the car doors have been opened, place a car call to the
top or bottom terminal landing. The car will start to move with it's door open and trip an
Unintended Motion Fault.
7. The emergency brake must activate and stop the car within 48" (1220 mm). Power is
removed from the driving machine and brake. Place the car on Inspection and press the
iBox "Fault Reset" button to reset the fault.
