DECEMBER 2021

Schumacher Elevator Company • One Schumacher Way • Denver, IA 50622 (800) 779-5438
 WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMER
All elevator products sold by Schumacher Elevator Co. are designed and manufactured in accordance with ASME
A17.1, National Electric Code, and CSA B44.1/ASME A17.5. All elevator products sold by Schumacher Elevator Co.
must be installed, serviced and maintained and/or operated by a skilled elevator technician. All elevator products
sold by Schumacher Elevator Co. must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the ASME A17.1 code
and must be installed in a safe manner in compliance with all local code. The elevator equipment is capable of
being supplied with a circuit able to deliver not more than 10,000 amps. The incoming three-phase (optional
single-phase) power must be supplied by a fused disconnect or circuit braker sized in conformance with applicable
local, state, or national code. A dedicated 120V lighting circuit must be supplied to the machine room with
disconnect in machine room. Equipment grounding must be in accordance with NEC article 250 or applicable local
electrical code. All elevator systems must be installed by qualified, licensed, trained elevator personnel familiar
with the operation of the equipment.

MOTOR WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Follow the below instruction to ensure motor wiring from the starter to the motor do not cause system issues:
1) Controller should be grounded from the incoming power as stated above, a direct ground shall be
provided to the machine room to properly ground the motor and controller.
2) Keep incoming power and motor leads short and away from lower voltage field wiring.

• Verify safety devices are fully functional before operating the elevator. DO NOT operate controls with any safety
devices inoperative.
• Remain clear of all moving/rotating equipment when working on controller. ALWAYS remove power to
equipment before replacing components on the controller. Damage or unexpected operation of the control
system is possible is power is not removed.
• Use precaution when use test jumpers to prevent disabling safety devices or electrical hazard by shorting high
voltage or damaging components.
• Always close elevator control cabinet door/cover when done working on equipment, this prevents dust/debris
buildup.

PRECAUTIONS

TERMINATING WIRES: Caution must be taken when terminating wires at any point in the elevator equipment.
Stranded wire that is not fully inserted or partially hanging outside the clamp may prevent proper operation of
safety device.
WIRING LAYOUT: Electrical noise can cause improper operation of equipment. Prevent electrical noise on
conductors running low-voltage signal wires in separate conduit from high-power wires. If running in separate
conduit/duct is unavoidable, separate wires by at least 4 inches and cross at 90 degrees. Shielded cables may be
used for low-voltage signal wires and required for all communication signals. Cable shielding needs to be
grounded at one side only.

simultaneously. If unable to operate all elevators simultaneously, a keyed manual transfer
switch must be provided to select elevator(s) for operation (switch SBS-EPSA/EPSB). Once

failure occurs, the NP relays turns OFF allowing the UPS to power the control system. If

RESYNC OPERATION If elevator has been designed with two-jack hole less, or

should be performed daily. The procedure is done
automatically by the controller at a preset time (RSNC). At the
preset time of day, the elevator will wait for the elevator to be

idle for at least 30s. After the wait time, the elevator will
travel to the lowest landing, stop, continue at leveling speed
into the buffer and continue with a slow speed down
command for 40s. Once complete the elevator will level into
the first landing and return to Normal Operation.

Once the Landing System is installed from the previous section, the landing system must calculate the
offset value, so the controller knows where the bottom landing is. CEDES manufactures the coded tape
in a continuous spool and cuts the necessary length for each individual spool. The spool received for
each job may be somewhere in the middle of the tape. The offset adjusts the position read by the CEDES

SLOWDOWN VALUES

Slowdown distance is the distance away from the floor the controller turns off high speed relay. The
slowdown distance should be adjusted based on several parameters. Higher elevator speeds require

ADJUSTMENTS
increased slow down distance, type of hydraulic valve may increase or decrease the necessary

APS
slowdown distance, and finally it is up to the installer to provide a more gradual or abrupt S-Curve from
the valve which determines the overall slowdown distance. Non-Feedback hydraulic valves (Maxton,
Blain, EECO) should have an extra 2-6” of stabilized leveling to account for slowdown changes based on
temperature. DOWN SLOWDOWN distance on non-feedback valves (Maxton, Blain, EECO) should be

STOP VALUE

STOP value is the distance away from the floor the directional relay turns off (U or D). Every valve has
some amount of “drift” when command is removed from the valve from leveling speed. The stop value
LANDING SYSTEM

allows you to fine tune this distance in each direction separate from Dead Zone distance.

DEAD ZONE VALUE

Dead Zone value is the distance away from the floor allowed before a re-level is initiated. The DEAD
CONNECTING TO

ZONE value must be greater than the STOP value. If the drift from the valve at stop is greater than
WI-FI

desired dead zone distance, adjustment of the valve is recommended (decrease leveling speed, adjust
stop profile, etc.).

TERMINAL SLOWDOWNS
ADJUSTMENTS

Terminal Slowdowns are used for two functions. The first is to turn OFF the high-speed output (H) when
APS

arriving at a terminal floor. The position the controller determines the terminal slowdown region is
based on the car speed measured through the CEDES APS. Navigate to TERMINAL SLOWDOWNS screen
to view the CALCULATED SLDWN DIST. SPEED is the average top speed in ft/min of each run during high-
ADJUST VALVE

speed. The second is to check the function of the Normal Slowdown. A Terminal Slowdown fault occurs
if the high-speed logic is still active after the elevator reaches the terminal slowdown. (ERROR: 0-40%)

The elevator system detects motion by comparing the current position (mm) to the previous position

LOW OIL PROTECTION
Code requires protection from a low oil situation. The code allows either direct oil level monitoring or a pump run
timer. The control system utilizes a pump run timer to prevent running the pump longer than TUP. The TUP time
accumulates once the “U” relay is energized to once it turns OFF.

CONNECTING TO
To test Low Oil Protection:

WI-FI
1. Place car call to 1st landing.
2. Disable STALL fault detection by setting STALL time to “0”.
3. Place a car call to the top landing.
4. Remove the “U” relay to prevent motion in Up direction. The accumulated timer value is displayed on the
PRESETS PAGE 2 screen.

ADJUSTMENTS
5. Once the pump has been running longer than TUP timer, Up direction is stopped and the elevator travels

to the bottom landing. Automatic Doors are still operational, although hall call will not operate doors.
6. Reset Fault and set STALL back to original value.
7. Verify correct elevator operation before returning to NORMAL OPERATION.

Cedes Loss of Channel Test

The dual absolute selector system incorporates two channels. The elevator car will safely land the
elevator at a landing if one of the channels is lost.
To perform a lost encoder channel test:
ADJUST VALVE

1. Run the elevator at contact speed and remove the signal from one channel at the main control.
Observe the elevator.
2. The elevator will stop at the next landing and an ENCODER FAULT #1 or #2 will be displayed indicating
which channel was removed.

3. The elevator will stay at the landing until the lost channel has been restored.

Encoder tests can also be performed by accessing the ENCODER TEST screen of the HHU. Each encoder
can be separately turned off to test NORMAL SLOWDOWN functions and loss of encoder
