TVC Ethos Two Installation Sheet

E2 Car Module Installation Sheet

Precautions

The module must be mounted in suitable protective box or car top terminal box. Observe
normal precautions for handling electronic devices, avoid static electricity, dampness and
extreme temperatures. Please read this instruction sheet fully before use.
Ethos 2 Car Module
The Car Module is designed to be mounted on the lift car. It is used to supply Ethos 2 with
door and other car COP signals. The unit has a built in 3-axis accelerometer for ride profile
monitoring, so must be mounted securely to avoid false triggering of the accelerometer.
I/O includes:- 8 volt free relay outputs, 12 x 24V d.c. feature inputs and 8 call I/Os. These
can be configured via the Ethos 2 MMI.
The module can additionally be used to interface to a load cell for load weighing. An RS232/
485 connection is supplied to drive car indicators or speech units.
Please consult main drawings for contract specific wiring and setup.

The Green LED (D1) will flash every 2 seconds to signify power to node and
that the node is running.
The Red LED (D2) will light continuously for 4 seconds when the node is first
powered up. After this point the red LED signifies various fault codes. The LED
will do a quick flash every 4 seconds if the node has a fault.
