4 Introduction These instructions were created to guide the Advantage Home Elevator installer smoothly through the installation process. It is extremely important to follow these installation instructions to install the home elevator properly. Failure to do so could result in an unsafe condition. Please review this manual prior to installation. Installation of the Advantage Home Elevator must be done by experienced and/or licensed installers. Any deviation or unauthorized modifications may create safety hazards to both the installer and end user. Any warranties expressed or implied will be voided with any divergence from these installations steps. In addition, Advantage Home Elevator will not accept any responsibility at any time for any problem that arises as a result of any divergence from the installations steps outlined herein. You should visit the job site to check on conditions prior to installation of the elevator. You must verify the following: Double Check Final Drawings: Ensure that you have the final set of drawings from Advantage Home Elevator to check hoistway measurements and construct the elevator. If any deviations exist, have the general contractor correct them, or consult factory for more information. Finished Floor to Floor Height: Providing the proper rail length depends on this measurement being accurate. If these dimensions do not match the print, equipment provided with your Advantage Home Elevator will not fit correctly in the hoistway. Any deviations from print measurements identified after the unit has been released for manufacturing and/or shipped from the factory is subject to additional material and shipping costs not covered under warranty. Overhead Clearance: Minimum Overhead clearance is measured from finished floor of the top landing to the hoistway ceiling. Installation problems will result if this dimension is less than 99" for 84" high cabs. Add one inch of overhead per additional inch of cab height above 84". Pit Depth: A minimum of 8 inches is required; 12" is recommended. Rail Structural Support: Must be correctly located in hoistway and be plumb. This support must extend from the top of hoistway to the bottom. This support must also be able to support all applicable loads. Hoistway: Must be plumb. An out of plumb hoistway will affect the elevators ride. Drop the plumb line from top of the hoistway to the pit. A deviance of 1/4 inch in 20 feet is the maximum allowed. Hoistway Walls: Rail structure for Advantage Home Elevator fastens to the hoistway rail backing. Entrance walls should be square to the rail backing wall. Hoistway Dimensions: Interior clear wall dimensions are noted on the final drawings and should match jobsite conditions. Power: Required electrical circuits, including 230VAC single phase disconnect with an interlock auxiliary contact kit, 110VAC disconnect, light, light switch, GFI and the telephone line, should be present in the hoistway overhead installed per NEC code. Needed For Installation: Advantage Pendant Station* Advantage P-Tool* Volt / Ohm meter Plumb bob Chalk line 25 foot long tape measure Chain hoist or wench Hand tools (variety of wrenches and screwdrivers) Framing square 4 foot level Roto hammer 3/8" drill motor and drill bits Rubber mallet; drift pin Socket set Large crescent wrench Sawzall Hydraulic floor jack (to set safeties) Knife Scissors Rail file 50 foot drop cord light Vise grips Hoistway barricades 10 foot ladder with a 10 foot extension 25 foot extension cord Nut drivers Clevis Block Sling and/or choker Safety equipment Hex Key set to adjust valve 20 gallons of SAE 32 turbine oil Means of transferring oil to tank ¾" Flex Conduit per job requirements Fittings for Conduit Heavy Duty Thread Sealant with PTFE Page 1 - Advantage Home Elevator - Hydraulic Installation & (Revision )

Section 1 - Rail Sections, Pedestal and Jack 1 - Bottom rail sections 1-1 Secure wench to pit floor and roped pulley system to an overhead support beam, or secure chain hoist to an overhead support beam. 1-2 Inspect rail sections and check rail length to the approved drawings. 1-3 Bottom sections will be 10 feet long. This section will be supplied with a bottom pit plate. 1-4 If three or more rail sections are supplied, the middle rail section(s) will measure 5 and/or 10 feet long. Rail ends are tongue and groove to simplify assembly 1-5 Top rail section will be of a length to match the travel height. This section will be supplied with a top plate (rectangular cutout in plate). FIGURE Hoist jack into place and set on pedestal. Use lag bolts to attach jack to support structure. Level jack while tightening Install yoke assembly onto top of piston. IMPORTANT: CAREFULLY MOVE RAIL SECTIONS INTO HOISTWAY! HOIST THE RAIL SECTIONS AND JACK ASSY INTO PLACE WITH A WENCH / ROPED PULLEY SYSTEM OR CHAIN HOIST ONLY! 1-6 Locate rail centerline of the hoistway using layout drawings. 1-7 Use plumb bob and chalk line to snap the rail section centerline onto rail support wall. 1-8 Hoist bottom rail section (excluding carsling and weight sling rack) into hoistway using the centerline to align rail section to the center of rail structure. Use lag bolts, if wood sling, to loosely attach rail section to structural support. Do not put bolts into the two top holes as these holes mate with the bottom two holes of the next rail section. 1-9 Install pedestal using the bottom two holes. Level while tightening the bolts. FIGURE Install the pre-assembled carsling at this time. Hoist the carsling above the bottom rail section and then lower, making sure that the rail is placed in all the guide shoes and is free to move up and down the rail section Install pre-assembled carsling at this time.

6 1-15 Bring in the next rail section and hoist it into position using the centerline on the hoistway wall for alignment and then join this section with the one below. The longer plate of the upper section shall be positioned behind the lower section top plate. Install the fish plate and align and join the tongue and grooves of both rail sections. Use lag bolts to attach the second rail section to the support structure As with first rail section, do not put lag bolts into top two holes as this will mate with the next section Make sure both rail sections are plumb right to left as you face the tower. Use shims to correct any minor out-of-plumb conditions. Tighten all lag bolts to wall making sure that alignment and plumb are correct. Repeat process for all mid-sections. IMPORTANT: INSTALL FISH PLATE BOLTS ENSURING BOLT HEAD IS LOCATED ON RAIL BLADE SIDE WITH NUT LOCATED ON THE SIDE NEXT TO WEIGHT SLING. MAKE SURE ALL JOINTS (BOTH RAIL JOINT AND WEIGHT SLING CHANNEL JOINT) ARE SMOOTH. Section 2 Controller and Power Unit IMPORTANT: BEFORE BEGINNING WORK IN THE MACHINE ROOM, ENSURE THAT ALL DISCONNECTS ARE OFF AND LOCKED. 2-1 Place power unit and controller into machine room. Level and anchor. 2-2 Electrical Requirements: A dedicated 230 VAC, 30 amp, single phase circuit with a dedicated neutral for main line supply. A dedicated 115 VAC, 15 amp, single phase circuit for car light supply. Telephone line connects to "Controller Interface Board" with a RJ-11 modular plug (phone plug) or a 3 5 mm plug. 2-3 Your electrician must now make electrical connections to wires labeled 115VAC/N/G, SW1/SW2 and L1/L2/N/G. Flexible conduit should be used and it needs to be ran to controller. 2-4 Hook up phone line to Controller Interface Board with a RJ-11 modular plug (phone plug) or 3 5mm plug. 2-5 Run feed line between jack and power unit per jobsite conditions and local code requirements. 2-6 Install threaded rods through mounting plate at top of jack. 2-7 Thread chains through yoke assembly and attach to threaded rods. 2-8 Attach chain to threaded rods on car sling assembly. 2-9 Fill power unit tank with hydraulic oil Mounted to back panel of controller is Controller Interface Board. FIGURE Finally, hoist top rail section into place, aligning it to the rail section below using rail centerline. Use lag bolts and bolt rail section to the wall. Install fish plates and fish plate bolts. Do not put lag bolts into top two holes as these are used to attach the counterweight side chain dampener. Tighten all lag bolts to wall making sure alignment is plumb and correct Install two orange jumpers labeled Temp Run Jump 1 (3 5mm / 2 positions) and Temp Run Jump 2 (3 5mm / 3 positions). After jumpers are installed, plug the Advantage Pendant Station into the plug on the Controller Interface Board marked "Temp Run" Page 3 - Advantage Home Elevator - Hydraulic Installation & (Revision )

7 3-3 Run the car sling up to the top landing with enough over travel (per drawing) that will activate the final limit in the selector box when mounted. 3-4 Return the car sling to the lower landing. Measure the platform and find the front-to-back center line. Lay the platform on the car sling and align its centerline (relative to the centerline of the rail section) based on the layout drawings. As an example, systems with in-line openings and a 3' x 5' platform will measure 32 3/8" from the centerline of the rail section to the sill of the cab. START UP PROCEDURE: A) SWITCH DISCONNECT "ON" B) THEN TURN UPS "ON" SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE: A) TURN UPS "OFF" B) THEN SWITCH DISCONNECT "OFF" FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL DAMAGE THE CONTROLLER AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY 2-12 Advantage controller is now in "Temporary Run Mode". This mode is only used to operate pump unit during elevator construction. Car sling motor can now be run Up and Down. WARNING: NO SAFETY CIRCUITS 3-5 Attach the platform to the car sling using the provided hardware. The running clearance will be 1 1/8" from the landing sill to the cab sill, assuming the hoistway is plumb. The sill and toe guard(s) is preinstalled on the platform. 3-6 While it is possible for the running clearance to vary, it cannot be wider than 1 1/2" or closer than 1/2". Try not compensating for variations in running clearance by shifting the platform. Shifting of the platform might cause alignment problems with COP and selector box access. 3-7 Level the platform, using shims as required between the car sling and platform. Tighten all platform hardware. 3-8 The platform should now be running up and down using the Advantage Pendant Station. 3-9 Tighten chains with car sling at lowest possible level (pit floor or buffers) the piston should be exposed above the head 3 1/2" Run piston up until it hits the stop ring, ensuring that the sill of the platform is 3" above the finished floor height at the top landing As a final adjustment, ensure chains are staggered by (3/8") half of a link. Section 4 - Tape Selector Landing System FIGURE 4 Section 3 Car Sling & Platform & Chain 3-1 Install right and left platform extension angles and the platform angle. 4-1 Locate Selector Box and associated parts: a) 3" Steel Tape b) Magnets (2 per landing / 1@ 6" and 1@ 10 7/8") c) Magnet setting tool d) Bottom tape mounting bracket with tension spring e) Top tape mounting plate f) 2 Long mounting brackets for selector box g) 2 Short mounting brackets for selector box h) 2 Limit switch actuation cams 3-2 Make sure that stiles, crosshead and safety carriage are square.

8 4-5 Connect bottom tape tensioner bracket to bottom rail section, connect tape to bracket clamp then tension tape with adjusting nut at bottom of bracket spring. 4-6 Run platform from top to bottom observing tape alignment as it passes through selector box Move selector box as necessary to achieve proper alignment. When tape and box alignment is achieved, tighten selector box at all four points and tape clamps as necessary. 4-7 Running platform, selector box and tape are now installed. FIGURE Mount selector box with enclosed mounting brackets to carsling stiles. Review layout drawings and determine if a right or left hand selector is required. To determine handing, verify COP location from drawings, the selector box mounts directly behind COP and will identify handing. As you face the rail section selector box will mount to the left or right of the rail section tower centerline. For a right hand selector box, install 2 short brackets onto right side of box and the 2 long brackets onto left side of box. Attach brackets to stiles and box using 1/4"-20 bolts and nuts, do not tighten until tape has been successfully run top to bottom. 4-3 At top of hoistway, install the 3" wide steel tape onto top bracket using plates and bolts. 4-4 Thread tape through outer groves of the guides located on selector box. Feed the rest of tape to the pit. 4-8 Install tape magnets. This process is very simple and should be done before cab is installed. After cab is in place, magnets can still be accessed through cutouts in the selector box facilitating any minor floor adjustments from inside the car. There are 2 magnets per floor one is 6" and the other is 10 7/8 ". 4-9 Position platform sill at bottom floor level and place 6" magnet on the tape so that it is centered vertically and in horizontal lane with the P1 sensor Position the 10 7/8" magnet on the tape so that it is located between the UL and DL sensors and in the middle lane with the DZ sensor Place magnet setting tool through selector box cutout and over the tape. Move guide vertically to align magnets in their appropriate lanes. Car can be moved up or down to clear the selector box and access magnets. Once the cab is installed the only access will be through selector box cutout or from hoistway with the car above or below Repeat this operation for each floor and respective floor sensor, i.e. floor two = P2 and so on At top landing floor level, place a limit switch actuation cam (clamp) onto the rail above and in-line with top limit switch roller. Move actuation cam into switch to "preload" it without activation. With this method, when car over travels about 1" it will actuate top limit (top switch in selector box). Should top limit fail to activate, continued up movement will activate second limit, located below top limit. When actuation cam is in proper and final position, tighten screw and nut. FIGURE 6 Page 5 - Advantage Home Elevator - Hydraulic Installation & (Revision )

9 4-14 At bottom landing floor level, place an actuation cam on rail below and in-line with bottom limit switch roller. Move cam into the switch to "preload" it without activation. When car under travels about 1" it will actuate bottom limit switch (third switch from top). Run platform up to assure that the safety block clears actuation cam. When the cam is in the proper and final position, tighten screw and nut Selector assembly is complete. After cab assembly is complete and in automatic operation, any necessary final magnet adjustments can be made from inside elevator. Section 5 - A) Plug n Play Wiring & B) Slack Chain Switch 5A - Plug n Play Wiring 5A-1 Install hoistway wire way strut. Prior to securing wire way strut to hoistway wall, estimate where door interlock and hall stations will enter wire way and knock out the appropriate KO. Disassemble and install pit switch at bottom of wireway approximately 36" above bottom landing. Reassemble pit switch, ensuring that when the switch is in "ON" position, it points towards "RUN". Install provided flexible conduit and cable for interlocks and hall stations. 5A-3 The traveling cable will drop from the halfway point. Be certain that when the cab is at the bottom landing the traveling cable loop is not too long or short and that it does not touch the pit floor. Secure the cable to the car sling stile with remaining kellum grip. 5A-4 Install hall stations and plug in yellow cable for appropriate floor call, i.e. 1C, 2C, etc. into Controller Interface Board. Hall stations are supplied with mounting instructions. Faceplate attaches to bracket and held secure by a Tamper-Resistant Pin-in-Torx (T25) screw at the bottom and top of face plate caps. 5A-5 After hall swing doors have been installed, mount Electro Mechanical Interlock. Use enclosed template to locate and mount lock to the door sling. Prior to mounting be certain to provide electrical access for wiring plug to interlock. NOTE: Red Cable = Door Interlocks Yellow Cable = Hall Calls Red interlock cables will plug into respective floor position 1F - 4FR. Controller Interface Board is job configured for proper interlock connection. Yellow Hall Call cable plugs into 1C - 4CR. EXAMPLE: A configured board for two stops in line will have a red door interlock cable plugged into 1F & another red cable plugged into 2F. There will be a red Multi- Floor factory installed jumper from 3F to 4FR. IMPORTANT: DO NOT ALTER FACTORY INSTALLED JUMPERS. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. 5A-2 Measure half the distance of travel and Install the traveling cable at this location using the kellum grip and screws provided. Each end is fitted with plug connectors. One end plugs to the Controller Interface Board and the other end plugs to the Car Interface Board at the bottom of the selector box. 5B - Slack Chain Switch FIGURE 7 5B-1 Mount cam support angle to safety activation arm through provided tapped hole using a #10 screw. 5B-2 Attach cam to support angle. 5B-3 Mount Slack Chain Switch to bottom of safety carriage onto sling through predrilled holes provided. 5B-4 Run flex conduit up cab wall and attach to bottom of the selector box. 5B-5 The connector will plug into S.O.S. on Car Interface Board. 5B-6 Assure that the switch is activated when chain goes slack.

The valve is preset in the factory, but may require slight adjustments for enhanced performance and ride quality. The control valve relief pressure must be set. 9-2 Check if selector magnets are installed and properly positioned. 9-3 Ensure all doors and car gate(s) are closed. 9-4 Check that Advantage Pendant Station is removed from controller, Temp Jump 1 and 2 are removed from Controller Interface Board (these will be reinstalled later). Refer to the controller installation section for hookup procedure and CPU reset. 9-5 Turn off power at UPS with unit power button. 9-6 Turn on power at UPS with unit power button. 9-7 Confirm the following LED's are lit on CPU when in a static condition: UT / LT / MSC / GC / HDC / HDL / PT2 / LPS / DZ / P1 9-8 From inside elevator PI should display "1". Call buttons should have an amber light for each floor position Car lights should toggle off and on by black toggle switch on COP The alarm button, when pushed, should have a blue halo lit and sound the alarm With doors and gate(s) closed, push number 2 button in car and observe if blue halo illuminates. Car should begin to accelerate upward While traveling toggle red stop switch off, the car should stop. Turn it back on and the car will level down if you are close enough to the floor. If not push floor 1 call and car should move down and level to floor. The bottom hall door should unlock and "Car Here" light should illuminate in the hall station for 10 seconds With Doors and gate(s) closed, once again push floor button 2, car should begin to run up Keep your hand on stop switch, for safety, and allow car to run up to floor two. Six inches from floor level car will slowdown, level to the floor then stop. Car position indicator should display "2". Second floor door interlock should unlock and "Car Here" light in the hall station should illuminate With doors and gate(s) closed, push floor button 1 and car should begin to run down Keep your hand on stop switch, for safety, and allow car to run down to floor one. Six inches from floor level car will slowdown, level to the floor then stop. Car position indicator should display "1". First floor door interlock should unlock and "Car Here" light on hall station should illuminate If the above has been successful you are ready to continue testing. If unsuccessful, refer to troubleshooting section Run car up and down and observe floor level Unique to Advantage, floor level can be set from inside car, behind COP in selector box. Final adjustments to floor level can be made by moving tape magnet up or down. When floor level is set, apply a small amount of silicone adhesive to side of magnets to keep them in place From any floor, place a call and open car gate while in motion, car should stop. Close gate and place another call, car should begin to travel With selector box exposed and COP resting securely on a stool, check final limits Place a call and as car begins to leave the floor, actuate limit switches inside the selector box. There are a total of 3 limits, two for up, and one for down. These are final limits and will not allow car to run in either direction Once limit is in a normal run position, place a call and the car should run Test all 3 limits using this method At each floor open the hall door, close car gate and place a call. The car should not move Turn off power from main power supply to controller Emergency light should illuminate on the COP, alarm button should be functional, and the car position indicator should display a floor If the car is at a floor above bottom landing it will accept only down calls in leveling speed for emergency evacuation. When it reaches the lowest landing it is removed from service Restore main power supply. Page 9 - Advantage Home Elevator - Hydraulic Installation & (Revision )

13 9-31 Check to see elevator will respond to each hall station call and "Car Here" light illuminates and hall doors unlock Check telephone to see if dial tone is present With a running and adjusted elevator as a final check, set the mechanical safeties and slack chain switch (S.O.S.). This can be accomplished several ways. Where inspections are required, most jurisdictions will allow the car to be run down onto a raised hydraulic jack. This must be done from pendant station in Temp mode. From the bottom floor, land car (steel sling) on the jack. Keep running car down until you see chain go slack. Then from outside hoistway lower the hydraulic jack; car should drop a short distance and stop. The chain should still have slack, indicating the car is being held by its' safety blocks At the controller remove pendant station and jumpers. Reset CPU returning the car to automatic mode. It should not run if the slack chain switch is set properly and is open Reinstall pendant station and Temp jumpers 1 and 2, toggle UPS power button to put CPU in Temp mode Run car up from pendant station. The slack chain switch should reset automatically Remove pendant station and jumpers from controller. Toggle the UPS power button to put CPU back in automatic Refer to Control Valve Adjustments 9-39 Refer to PRV Adjustments Section 10 - Selector Logic 10-1 The Controller board has seven selector inputs for proper operation: UL = Up Level DL = Down Level DZ = Door Zone P1 = Verifies Car is at Position 1 P2 = Verifies Car is at Position 2 P3 = Verifies Car is at Position 3 P4 = Verifies Car is at Position The inputs are 24VDC active low; meaning that 24VDC Reference must be present at appropriate controller terminal to turn on input Up Travel Logic Sequence: a) When an up call is registered, the "UP", "RP" and "HS" computer outputs will be activated. b) Each time UL is activated along with DZ the selector will increment one level. c) When the selector increments to the landing where the call is registered, the "HS" computer output will deactivate and the car will continue up the hoistway at leveling speed. d) To stop the car after it is running in leveling speed UL turns off while DZ remains on. The "UP" computer output is deactivated then after 3 seconds the "RP" computer output is deactivated Down Travel Logic Sequence: a) When a down call is registered, the "DN", RP" and "HS" computer outputs will be activated. b) Each time DL is activated along with DZ the selector will decrement one level c) When the selector decrements to the landing where the call is registered, the "HS" computer output will deactivate and the car will continue down the hoistway at leveling speed. d) To stop car after it is running in leveling speed DL turns off while DZ remains on. The "DN" computer output is deactivated then after 3 seconds the "RP" computer output is deactivated Releveling: After the car has stopped at floor level in response to a call, the car will re-level up when UL and DZ are on together, and will stop when UL is off. The car will relevel down if DL and DZ are on together, and will stop when DL is off Positive Encoding: The controller board achieves positive encoding via four independent positioning magnets. Door Lock outputs will be activated only when a positioning magnet is present. Advantage Home Elevator Hydraulic Installation & (Revision ) - Page 10

15 11-6 Special Operations: Board Re-set: Any time that the controller is powered up the system will automatically go into a Reset sequence. During this sequence, if all of the required safety circuits are made (normal run requirements), the elevator will respond as follows: a) If not at a floor, unit will automatically lower itself to the first floor encountered. b) If at floor level, unit will re-set and then return to normal operation. c) If in a floor Zone but not level, unit will level to that floor and stop. WARNING: FACTORY INSTALLED JUMPERS FOR DEVICES NOT USED, (I.E. REAR GATE, CAR TOP STOP SWITCH, ETC.) SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED OR RELOCATED. IF YOU JUMP OUT SAFETY CIRCUITS AND THEN THE POWER IS TURNED ON RE-SETTING THE CPU, THE ELEVATOR MAY MOVE WHEN NOT EXPECTED. THIS CAN CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. NEVER JUMP OUT SAFETY CIRCUITS! 11-7 Provisions have been made by using Temp Jumper 1 and 2 on the Controller Interface Board to run the elevator in Temporary Mode, which will be explained in this manual Emergency Lowering during Power Failure: Once the controller senses a loss of power, the emergency light output "EL" will activate. The elevator will respond as follows: a) Power loss during an UP run, the destination call will be dropped and the unit will automatically lower itself to the next lowest floor. If that floor is not the lowest landing, car can be moved to a lower landing by pressing the selected floor button. b) Power loss during a DOWN run, the destination call will be dropped and the unit will automatically lower itself to the next lowest floor. If that floor is not the lowest landing, car can be moved to a lower landing by pressing the selected floor button. c) Power loss while at a floor, unit will stay at the floor level. If a call is placed to a lower floor, and all normally required safety circuits are in the correct state, the unit will lower to the requested floor. NOTE: THE "EL" AND "BZ" OUTPUT ARE FED BY THE UPS AND WILL DISABLE THEMSELVES 30 SEC AFTER THE LOWER TERMINAL FLOOR HAD BEEN REACHED Run Timer: If the Run Timer times out unit will respond as follows: a) Unit running up, unit will respond the same as in Emergency Lowering. b) Unit running down, unit will stop and shut down if unit is level at a floor and power gates are being used, the gate will open Power Gate: If the open command is given (OPR or OPF) and the gate does not open within 2 seconds, the open command will turn off for ten seconds and then retry the open command. After 3 attempts without the gate opening, the unit will wait for another open request. The sequence is the same for closing; a failure will allow 3 attempts before call is cancelled Inputs & Outputs: The diagram shown in Figure A is an input/output map with corresponding LED's Advantage Plug-N-Play Wiring Technology: a) Schematic drawings: Drawings are for technical reference but will not be required for device wiring and hookup. Should a problem be encountered, the wiring diagrams will aid in troubleshooting. b) The CPU connects to a Controller Interface Board via 8 connectors interlocks, push buttons and traveling cable connects to Controller Interface Board. The traveling cable connects the Controller Interface and Car Interface Board. This comprises the wiring method Travel Cable connections: The Advantage traveling cable has been cut to length and fitted with the interface board connectors on each end. One end connects to Controller Interface Board and the other end to Car Interface Board. This method eliminates any potential for field wiring mistakes, making for a quicker and safer installation Hoistway wiring: The Advantage is supplied with red 8-conductor cabling for Interlocks and yellow 8-conductor cabling for Hall Calls. The hall calls and interlocks wiring harnesses feature the 8-position RJ-45 plug on each Advantage Home Elevator Hydraulic Installation & (Revision ) - Page 12

16 cable end. This in turn plugs into the appropriate modular connector on the Controller Interface Board. The hoistway-wireway is typically located on the same side as the door interlock, door strike and hall calls When there is a rear opening, the wire gutter will drop on both sides of the controller. This method facilitates quick and easy wiring runs all contained within the supplied wire gutter Controller Interface Board: Mounted to the left inside swing door of controller box (Figure B). When viewed face on, the far left column of connectors, are for hoistway door interlocks. The next column to the right is for hall calls and the far right column of connectors, (508mm Socket Headers, and labeled 1-23) are for the traveling cable. The Advantage Home Elevator was configured in the factory with the proper door lock configuration. You should not deviate from the door interlock scheme provided by the factory, to avoid any unsafe condition Example / 3 stops: (2 Front openings, 1 Rear opening) Floor 1 is Rear (garage), 2 and 3 are Front. Three red interlock cables will plug into the modular connectors marked 1FR, 2F and 3F at the left row of modular connectors on the Interface Board. One supplied multi-floor jumper will be plugged into 2FR to 4FR and two single floor jumpers will be plugged into 1F and 4F respectively. This will complete the door lock circuit Three yellow Hall Call cables will plug into 1CR, 2C and 3C no other hall call connections are needed The pit switch cable will run from switch to controller and plug into Controller Interface Board connector marked "Pit SW". A factory jumper will be installed at this connector. WARNING: NEVER PLACE A SINGLE FLOOR JUMPER INTO A CONNECTOR WHERE THERE IS AN ACTUAL DOOR OPENING, OR A MULTI-FLOOR JUMPER AROUND AN ACTUAL DOOR OPENING, THIS WILL CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION! Car Interface Board: Located at the bottom of selector box behind the Car Operating Panel (COP) (Figure C). The traveling cable, car lights, gate switch(es) and COP, plug into this board along with the appropriate jumpers for various devices not being used, i.e. GSR for a rear gate switch. The correct jumpers and plugs are populated in the factory. Each device on the COP is tagged and will be inserted into the corresponding labeled socket on the Controller Interface Board. Floor level and floor position are set inside this box as well as final limits. Section 12 - Controller Description & Function 12-1 Please refer to Programming Tool (P-Tool) Manual for changing parameter settings, diagnose status of the elevator, and view/clear fault logs and counters. Section 13 - Temporary Run Mode: 13-1 The purpose for this mode of operation is to allow installer to move platform up or down during installation process circuits MSC, GC, HDC and HDL will be disregarded. The motor overload connects to PT1 and PT2, if open, platform will not move. When the VFD displays "---" the overload circuit is completed. Before you run in Temp Mode, the 220 VAC electrical supply must be connected in the controller On the Controller Interface Board, located on the left inside controller door, there are two jumpers that must be installed. One is a 3- position 3 5 mm jumper; the other is a 2- position 3 5 mm jumper. They are labeled Temp Jumper 1 and Temp Jumper 2 on the Controller Interface Board. After these two jumpers are installed, plug pendant station into the modular RJ-45 female plug located on Controller Interface Board in the upper lefthand corner labeled "TEMP RUN". After you have installed the jumpers and pendant station, the UPS must be toggled off, then on, to reset the CPU. When the CPU resets you will be in Temp Mode and have motor control from the pendant station. Note: During Temporary Run Mode, the platform will move at leveling speed only. To return to automatic operation, remove pendant station, jumpers Temp 1 and Temp 2 from Controller Interface Board and then toggle UPS off and on. If jumpers are left in position, elevator will not return to automatic operation but will remain in Temporary Run Mode. Section 14 - Fault Codes & Possible Causes 14-1 The Blue Halo on the call button will flash in a coded sequence if a call is not accepted and the elevator does not run. This coded diagnostics will aid you in trouble shooting during the installation and later for the home owner. All codes that begin with a long flash (2 seconds on) are Call for Service codes. These are problems that the home owner cannot correct. The home owner can convey to you, over the phone, the flash sequence. This may save a trip to the site if it is one of the user codes.
