Preparations for Installation
The heat is dissipated upward from bottom to top, as shown in the following figure.
‑16‑
Mechanical installation
3 Mechanical installation
Controller models below 160kW (both plastic and sheet metal structure) are installed
on a backplate in the control cabinet.
The following figure shows the installation details.
Note: Never fasten only the upper two screws, because the controller may fall and be dam-
aged with long-term running. So ensure that all the four screws are fastened.
Pay attention to the following points when designing the control cabinet:
● The temperature difference inside and outside the cabinet shall not be over 10°C
with temperature rise of the controller.
● A confined control cabinet must be configured with a fan (or other air cooling
device such as air conditioner) to ensure air circulation.
● The air from the fan must not blow directly to the drive unit because this easily
causes dust adhesion and further a fault on the drive unit.
● A vent must be available at the bottom of the control cabinet to form bottom-up
air flow for effective heat transfer.
‑17‑
Mechanical installation
● If the fan cannot meet the cooling requirements, install an air conditioner in the
cabinet or in the equipment room. Note that the temperature inside the cabinet
must not be too low. Otherwise, condensation may occur, causing short circuit of
components.
● For special environment where the temperature is high but cannot be reduced
effectively, de-rate the controller during use.

Notes
● Power input terminals R, S, T
■ The cable connection on the input side of the controller has no phase
sequence requirement.
■ The specification and installation method of external power cables must
comply with the local regulations and related IEC standards.
■ Refer to contents about peripheral device selection in the NICE3000new
Integrated Elevator Controller System Design and Selection Guide for proper
copper cables.
■ The filter must be installed close to the input terminal of the controller. The
cable between the filter and the input terminals must be shorter than 30 cm.
Ensure that the grounding terminals of the filter and the controller are
‑26‑

connected together, and that both the filter and controller are installed on the
same conductive plane that are connected to main grounding of the cabinet.
‑27‑
Electrical Installation
■ If the motor cable is too long, electrical resonance will be generated due to the
impact of distributed capacitance. This will damage the motor insulation or
generate higher leakage current, causing the controller to trip in overcurrent
protection. If the motor cable is greater than 100 m long, an AC output reactor
must be installed close to the controller.
■ Use the shielded cable as the output power cable connecting the motor. The
shield is connected to the grounding cable.

4.12.2Slow-down Switches
The slow-down switches are one of the key protective means of the elevator,
protecting against top-hitting and bottom-clashing even at maximum speed when the
elevator position is abnormal. This controller supports a maximum of three pairs of
slow-down switches. The slow-down switch 1, slow-down switch 2 and slow-down
switch 3 are installed from the two ends of the shaft to the middle floor one by one.
Generally, only one pair of slow-down switches is required for the low-speed elevator.
Two or three pairs of slow-down switches are required for the high-speed elevator.
The slow-down distance L indicates the distance from the slow-down switch to the
leveling plate at the terminal floor. The calculating formula is as follows:
‑57‑
Electrical Installation
Note
● The slow-down distances listed in the preceding table are calculated at the default
special deceleration rate (0.9 m/s2).
● A lower acceleration/deceleration rate or higher special deceleration rate does not
affect safety performance. However, a lower special deceleration rate may cause
safety hazards. If a rate change is required, calculate the slow-down distance
again according to the preceding formula.
4.12.3Limit Switches
The up limit switch and down limit switch protect the elevator against top-hitting and
bottom-clashing when the elevator does not stop at the leveling position of the
terminal floor.
● The up limit switch needs to be installed 30 mm to 50 mm away from the top
leveling position. The limit switch acts when the car continues to run upward for
the distance from the top leveling position.
● The down limit switch needs to be installed 30 mm to 50 mm away from the
bottom leveling position. The limit switch acts when the car continues to run
downward for the distance from the bottom leveling position.

System Commissioning
2. Auto-tuning preparation
a. Check the equation and motor parameters: N=60 × f/P, where f is F1-04 (rated
frequency), N is F1-05 (rated speed), P is the number of pole pairs (number of
poles/2, mostly a positive integer).
b. Set F1-11 to 1 and select with-load auto-tuning. Press and the operating
panel displays "TUNE", indicating that the motor enters auto-tuning state.
3. Keep pressing the Up/Down button for the auto-tuning process. RUN contactor
closes and the motor has vibration noise due to excitation. After 3s to 5s, the brake
contactor closes and no fault is reported if the motor stops automatically with 2 or
3 rotations. With the encoder measured angle displayed by the LED for about 3s on
the MCB, the auto-tuning is completed successfully and the controller automati-
cally stops output. You can release the buttons now. If the fault code is displayed, it
shows the auto-tuning fails. Clear the fault first before performing auto-tuning
again.
4. Repeat step 3 (at least 3 times) and ensure that the encoder measured angles have
a difference within ±5°.
5. Finally, reset Emergency Electric Operation to Normal.
‑79‑
System Commissioning
Procedure
1. After the motor auto-tuning is completed, turn the switch to Emergency Electric Op-
eration for EEO running test.
2. Press Up or Down button to check whether the running direction of the elevator is
consistent with that of the motor. If not, change F2-10 to 1 to reverse the running di-
rection of the elevator, and then repeat.
● During car top commissioning, ensure that car top inspection is enabled to
guarantee safety.
● The MCTC-CTB is high level active by default.
You need to set the NO/NC features of the CTB input signals in F5-25 and ensure that
they are consistent with those of the actual electrical parts (light curtain and door

Shaft auto-tuning enables the MCB to obtain the following information: floor height,
floor-to-floor height, and positions of final limit switches, limit switches, slow-down
switches, and leveling switches. These data provide a computation basis for
generating a running curve for the MCB.
Conditions
1. The elevator is in EEO state.
2. The elevator runs to a position below the leveling position of the bottom floor (at
least one leveling switch is disconnected from the leveling plate) and the down
slow-down switch 1 signal input to the MCB is active (for two landing floors only).
3. The system is not in the fault state. If there is a fault, press to reset the fault.

After the trial run is completed, power off and then get power back on. Then restore
parameters F7-00 to F7-07 to 0.
Note
● Parameters F7-00 to F7-08 can automatically change back to default values after
power-off and power-on.
● After shaft auto-tuning is completed, running at normal speed may fail as the full-
load/overload function is not commissioned. You can set F7-07 to 1 or set F-8 to 3
on the keypad to enable system overload before normal-speed running.

Note
The HCB address is the same as the number of leveling plates on the same floor. For exam-
ple, the HCB address is set to N for the floor where the Nth leveling plate is located. If a lev-

To achieve a faster system response, increase the proportional gain or reduce the
integral time. However, too large proportional gain or too small integral time may
lead to motor jitter due to oscillation.
Decreasing the proportional gain or increasing the integral time will slow the dynamic
response of the motor. However, too small proportional gain or too large integral
time may cause motor speed tracking abnormality, resulting in fault E33 or unstable
leveling at stop.
The default setting is proper for most large-power motors, and you need not modify
these parameters. These parameters need to be adjusted only for small-power
motors (such as P ≤ 5.5 kW) because they may have oscillation. To eliminate
oscillation, do as follows:
1. Decrease the proportional gain first (between 10 and 40) to ensure that the system
does not oscillate,
2. and then reduce the integral time (between 0.1 and 0.8) to ensure that the system
has quick response but small overshoot.
