SEV User Manual 3. THE SEV VALVE The smart Servo Electronic Valve (SEV) is controlled by closed loop digital electronics, providing consistent travel characteristics elevators irrespective of load and oil temperature variations. An electronic card regulates the performance of the car via proportional solenoid valves. The elevator operation can be monitored, recorded and adjusted by a smart device using Wi-Fi connectivity.

SEV User Manual INSPECTION Speed Besides full speed and levelling speed, an optional inspection speed is available by the SEV system. Up and down inspection speeds can be independently adjusted between 0.05 m/s and 0.30 m/s. Initial Operations Valves are already adjusted and tested. Check electrical operation before changing valve settings. Test that the correct coil is energized by using metal parts to feel magnetic pull.

SEV User Manual 5. CONTROL VALVE INSTALLATION Check the following: 1. The flow on the data plate of the valve complies with the flow rate of the pump (±10 %). 2. The minimum and maximum static pressures on the valve data plate is in accordance with those of the elevator.
SEV User Manual 6. FLOW SENSOR AND SOLENOID ADJUSTMENTS Adjustment of solenoid power levels A and C (already factory adjusted) The adjustment of the solenoid power level is necessary if parts of the solenoids have been changed during servicing. Solenoid power level has to be adjusted to ensure the valves best possible performance and to produce a quick and smooth initial movement of the car away from the floor.

SEV User Manual The “MAIN MENU” allows access to the “Install wizard”, the “Data collection”, the “Settings” and the “State/notifications” sub menus. The “Install wizard” is being used to assist during valve setup and serves as a step by step guide to help users entering the complete and correct necessary elevator data.

SEV User Manual 8.3 UPDATE To perform an update, a micro SD card with a new software version is required. During the update, the green LED of the boot loader flashes very quickly. The process usually takes one to two minutes. As soon as the process is complete, the green and red Boot Loader LEDs are flashing slowly alternately.
Up and Down directions as well as the solenoid power level and the acceleration values are displayed. Examples are given below. View 2 gives a more detailed look into values of the PID controller and will be used mainly by Blain Hydraulics technical support for system diagnostics.
