Installation Cable Access The SmarTraq drive enclosure is designed with easy field access in mind. There are access plates on the enclosure that simplify command signal control and motor connections. The plates have multiple access holes sized to accept 1/2” conduit collars and fittings. Plates are secured to the drive enclosure using four phillips-head screws.
• Control Status Door Open and Door Close Logic SmarTraq is designed to allow power to be applied indefinitely to hold doors open or closed. With some controller designs, i.e. Otis, a single relay or single family of relays is energized to open doors and then that same relay or relays are de-energized to close doors.
Installation Limit #1 and Limit #2 Limit #1 and Limit #2 are outputs from SmarTraq to the elevator controller. Either or both may be used to provide a variety of features including: • Bypass retiring cam contact for controllers that use a retiring cam contact paralleled with a door position contact in door open logic •...
Stall Protection SmarTraq has built-in stall protection in both directions of travel. In the open direction, an internal stall timer is set for approximately one minute. If the door open signal to the drive is activated for more than one minute, the drive will automatically shut off. The drive will not respond until the signal is removed and reapplied or the opposite direction signal is applied.
Installation Encoder Cable The encoder cable is approximately eight feet (2.5 m) long with six (6) pre-striped wires and a small piece of shrink tubing on one end. The wires are; black, white, red, green, blue and yel- low/green. The other end of the cable is connected internally to the motor. We recommend that the cable be kept at its original length and the excess, if any, coiled up in the drive enclosure.
SmarTraq Control Input Wiring and Verification Connect door control inputs from the elevator controller to SmarTraq inverter drive Isolation board connector J6. These inputs must be supplied by dry contact closures only. Caution Any external voltages connected to terminals 3, 7, 8, 9, or 10 will damage the drive and void the drive warranty.
Page 17
Installation Referring to the SmarTraq wiring diagram, page 6, and to the following verification drawing, note that, when closed, the dry contact closures provide a connection between the associated control input (HD, ND, DC, or DO) and terminal 10 on the J6 connector. These connections should be detailed on the job prints supplied by the controller manufacturer.

Adjustment Adjustment This section describes: • Checking motor rotation • SmarTraq Programmer Controls • Learning Full Open and Full Close positions • Verifying Operation • Adjusting parameters Checking Motor Rotation Motor control connections from inverter drive terminals TB2 and TB3 to the motor assume clockwise motor rotation when the elevator doors are closing.
SmarTraq SmarTraq Programmer Controls Doors can be controlled from the inverter drive unit using programmer switches and displays located on the programmer (top) board. Read this page, then perform the door learning proce- dure on the following page. Figure 7. Inverter Drive Programmer Switches...
The operator learns open and close limits when current rises to preset limits (C1 open, C3 close) when doors reach full open or full close. Once limits are learned, SmarTraq is able to distinguish between an obstruction and full open or close positions. DOL (Door Open Limit) and DCL (Door Close Limit) can be learned only in the last 1/2”...
SmarTraq Performing the Learn Operation After DCL is established as described in the preceding paragraphs and Lr is displayed, you can complete the door learn operation. 1. Press Enter. The doors will automatically open at low speed to FULL OPEN position to establish DOL and then automatically close at low speed to FULL CLOSE position.
Adjustment Verifying Door Operation Note Whenever power is turned on (cycled) to the SmarTraq drive, the first open operation will be at Low Speed. To verify door operation: 1. Hold Open/Close in Open position. Doors will open and detect Full Open position. DOL should be displayed.
SmarTraq Adjusting Parameters All door operator adjustments are made by selecting and changing parameters using inverter drive programmer switches. All parameter values are numeric, from 0 to 31. The higher the number, the greater the parameters effect. Note Parameter values can only be changed or viewed when elevator doors are Full Closed and Door Close Limit LED is lighted.
Page 25
*Torque parameters: Any time the door torque parameters are changed, the Learn process must be repeated. ** Obstruction Status: SmarTraq monitors if the door close input is active, if the door has stopped moving, if applied torque (C3) has exceeded door closing limits. If all three conditions are met, SmarTraq activates a “door obstruction status”...
SmarTraq Figure 8. Motion Profile Parameter Adjustment Example To adjust a parameter (U1, high opening speed, in this example): 1. Check that the elevator doors are fully closed. Note Parameter values can only be changed or viewed when elevator doors are Full Closed and Door Close Limit LED is lighted.

Power Up When power is applied to the SmarTraq Drive, the GREEN LED (DL1-U) on the main board will light. The RED LED (DL2-R) on the main board should remain OFF. The Programmer board should display a SINGLE BAR and the REMOTE or LOCAL led will be ON.
SmarTraq Motor Synchronization If power up is successful, the door operator is ready to synchronize the motor. 1. Select LOCAL on the programming board. 2. Press Open/Close switch to provide a momentary OPEN or CLOSE command. The motor will cog to synchronize the rotor. Time required for this operation varies, but should be less than 2 seconds.
Troubleshooting 2. If tightening the belt is not effective, stop the motor by hand (minimal amount of pres- sure is usually required) so that DCL is generated. Set lower values for door closing torque parameters (reduces full close torque to reduce slippage). IF…...

SmarTraq IF… During opening, doors reach full open, push up against bumper, and stop with red LED (DL2-R) on, a fault condition occurred (most likely due to low AC input voltage): 1. Check AC voltage using a voltmeter. Check voltage continuously during opening, espe- cially when doors push up against full open bumper.
Troubleshooting First Open/Close After Cycling Power After power is cycled, and doors are in full close position with DCL active, an OPEN command should be given using local command on programmer board. Doors will move in open direction at REDUCED SPEED. If a CLOSE command is given before DOL is generated, doors will move in close direction at REDUCED SPEED.
SmarTraq Opening and Closing Open and closing operations are accomplished by setting parameters for: • High Speed Open and Close speeds using “U1/ U3”. • Low Speed Open and Closing speeds using “U2/ U4”. • Initial Open speed and distance using “U0” and “PL”.
Troubleshooting IF… Doors bump when opening or closing: 1. Slowdown points “P2” or “P7” are too near full open or close positions. Reduce “P2” or “P7”. 2. Deceleration values “A1” or “A3” are too low. Increase “A1” or “A3”. 3. Low speeds “U2” or “U4” are too high. Reduce “U2” or “U4”. 4.
SmarTraq IF… During reopening, the doors take too long to fully reopen: 1. Increase “Pr” incrementally. Remember that the more “Pr” is increased, the more the possibility of inconsistency while approaching full open. IF… During reversals, doors stop and reverse too rapidly, producing mechanical vibrations and bumps: 1.
Maintenance Maintenance On a regular basis, while checking other elevator components, we suggest the following mainte- nance for door operators. Harmonic Operators Check and adjust if needed: • Motor V-belt: Mid-way between the pulleys, the belt should deflect 1/2-inch (13mm) under moderate pressure.
SmarTraq Firmware Upgrades Firmware (software and microchips) upgrades are sometimes shipped to the field. Each upgrade kit has a set of instructions but, if they are unavailable, generic upgrade instructions are also provided here. Upgrade kits may contain one or two microchips and (if needed) a spe- cial tool designed to safely remove the microprocessor chip from its socket: •...
Page 43
Firmware Upgrades Replacing Microchips 1. Make certain power to the SmarTraq inverter drive is shut off. 2. Remove the four screws securing the cover on the drive enclosure. Remove the cover. If the inverter drive is equipped with an ON/OFF switch, place it in the OFF position.
SmarTraq Board Set Replacement DO NOT remove or attempt to repair individual boards! If necessary, the entire board set is replaced as a single unit. The circuit board set is designed for easy field replacement: 1. Remove the cover from the drive enclosure. Power down the unit.
