Device.. 1 Emergency Rescue Device The Smartrise Emergency Rescue Device (ERD) is an emergency battery backup power supply that continuously monitors the mainline for power loss. If power loss is detected, the ERD disconnects the mainline from the elevator and generates enough power to move the elevator to the nearest floor (in the direction it is selected to run) and opens the door to rescue people.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Components The ERD consists of the following: High Power (HP) Board: the HP board is the power controller. Powered by a battery, the power goes through a two-stage inverter on the HP board. The first stage converts the battery DC voltage to High Voltage DC (HVDC).
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Wiring The following sections show the internal and external ERD wiring. 3.1 Internal Wiring Step-Up Transformer: the primary side is connected to the output of the HP board. The secondary side of the transformer is configured in series or parallel according to the mainline voltage and connects to isolating contactor Q.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. 3.2 External Wiring Figure 6: ERD External Wiring CAUTION: to reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 140 amperes maximum allowable branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Sequence of Operation The following is the sequence the ERD follows: The ERD will constantly monitor the mainline and activate as soon as it detects a power loss. When a power loss is detected, the O2 and O3 output will turn on and send a signal to the controller and drive that the ERD is going to start.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Safety Safety precautions must be taken when removing and replacing batteries. CAUTION: risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. CAUTION: a battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Battery Removal and Replacement This section contains important instructions that shall be followed during installation and maintenance of the ERD unit. NOTE: servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Figure 9: Remove Power and Ground Cable 5. Move the battery power and ground cables up and away from the set of batteries and side of cabinet. CAUTION : risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Figure 11: Top Bracket 8. Remove top bracket from the top of the batteries. 9. Pull the side with the bad battery out of the cabinet. 10. Remove screws and bus bar holding the two batteries together.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. 11. Remove and replace the bad battery. 12. Attach 2 strips of foam on the battery if the old battery that was replaced had foam. Figure 13: Battery Replacement 13. Install screws and bus bar holding the side with the replacement battery and secure the bus bar.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Troubleshooting Tips Perform the following if the controller is not powering on when the main line is disconnected: Check if ERD switch is ON. BAT+ and BAT- measured values needs to be ~48VDC. T1 and T2’s measured value needs to be the same as the main line on the LP board.
..C4 Emergency Rescue Device.. Specifications The table below lists the ERD Power Rating. Table 1: ERD Power Rating Specification Value Charge Mode AC Input Voltage 208/240/480 VAC Input Frequency 60 Hz Input Current 350 mA/300 mA/150 mA max DC Input (From External Battery Pack)
