WARNINGS AND CAUTIONARY NOTES
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the national electrical code, all local
codes, and all elevator safety codes and standards. The 3‐phase AC power supply to
the equipment must originate from a properly fused disconnect or circuit breaker that is
properly designed and sized for the specific controller requirements and the "Short
Circuit Current Rating" listed on the controller. Improper motor branch circuit
protection will void warranty and may create a hazardous condition.
Wiring to the controller terminals must be installed in a careful, neat manner. Stranded
wire conductors must not have strands left out of the terminals. Leaving strands of wire
out of the terminals can create a potential short circuit. All terminals and cable
connectors must be seated properly. (See the IMPORTANT notice on the next page.)
Elevator control products must be installed by elevator personnel who have been
trained in the construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, and testing of elevator
equipment. The elevator personnel must comply with all applicable safety codes and
standards. This equipment is an O. E. M. product designed and manufactured to
comply with ASME A17.1-2016/CSA B44-16 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the installation is performed safely
and that the installation complies with all applicable codes.
Proper grounding is vitally important to the safe and successful operation of this
system, and proper grounding should be installed to comply with all applicable codes.
A separate ground wire should be installed from the building earth ground to the earth
ground terminal in each controller. Proper conductor size must be utilized for
grounding. In order to minimize resistance to ground, the shortest possible length
should be used for the ground conductor.
Do not install the controller in a hazardous area where excessive vapors and chemical
fumes are present. Do not install the controller in a dusty area. Do not install the
controller in a carpeted area. The space in which the controller equipment is installed
should be temperature controlled, moisture free, and should be maintained within a
temperature range of 32° F and 110°F. The space in which the controller equipment is
installed should be kept clean. The controller should be kept dry and should not be
exposed to moisture or water condensation. Make sure the power supply voltage
feeding the controller equipment does not fluctuate by more than +/- 10%.
Every safety precaution, whether or not specifically stated in this document, must be
implemented when installing, adjusting, or servicing elevator equipment. All safety
precautions must be followed to ensure the safety of elevator personnel and the general
public.
Use only the correct rated fusing for controller protection. Use of improperly rated
fusing will void the warranty.
