VG OSG VG OSG Operation and Installation Manual Operation and Installation Manual Version 3.0 Version 3.0 Serving the lift industry since 1996 Operation and Installation Manual...
The VG OSG connects to the main lift control panel via its own specific control box (VG OSG – CB01). From here it can receive power and signals to tell if the lift doors are open, the state of the main motor contactor and the condition of the main safety circuit.
No replacement parts other than those specified or supplied by the supplier Atwell International should be used as incompatible parts may risk the safe operation of the lift. Genuine spares are available within 24 hours at a reasonable cost.
This Warning Label is incorporated into the control box lid graphic to warn you of Live Electrical Parts, DO NOT REMOVE the lid if you are not a competent electrician capable of safely assessing the potentially dangerous internal connections. Atwell International Limited...

The operation of these switches is essential to enable the VG OSG to operate safely, i.e. if a cable is broken or the lift over speeds the VG OSG will be FAIL SAFE. i.e. any problems, the VG OSG will activate.

The VG OSG should now be roped with an appropriate 8mm governor rope with a Tensile Grade of between 1570N/mm² to 1770N/mm². You must ensure that the rope follows the path shown in the diagram below and runs squarely in the pulley groove.

To “BYPASS” the system you will disable the unintended movement detection function, but if the lift over speeds then the VG OSG willl be deployed. This function is purely for testing and maintaining the lift. When in this mode a sounder will beep every 30 seconds, to remind you that it cannot be left in this mode.
7. When the “SET OK” LED is illuminated, turn the key switch to “RUN”. 8. Turn the second key switch to “Hand winding”. 9. The VG OSG will now monitor for overspeed to a maximum mechanical trip of 0.4m/s and electrical trip of 0.3m/s.
No replacement parts other than those specified or supplied by the supplier (Atwell International) should be used as incompatible parts may risk the safe operation of the lift. Genuine spares are available within 24 hours at a reasonable cost, but if they are needed quicker than exact same or equivalent parts may be sourced locally once the exact specification of those parts has been obtained and you have suitably assessed the implications of using non-standard parts.
