1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Safety precautions & general warnings
Installation, operation and servicing of the SEV
should only be performed by qualified
personnel. Before installing the SEV package,
the "Quick Start Guide" should be read,
understood, and all safety precautions
mentioned in these documents and warnings
must be followed. The SEV must be installed
according to the descriptions in this technical
manual and in accordance with the local Figure 1: New Smart Servo Electronic Valve SEV 07
elevator safety codes and directives. with p-T sensor and new electronic card

1.2 Product introduction

The SEV package consists of:

1) SEV valve,
2) Electronic card,
3) User Manual.

Figure 2: Older version of electronic valve SEV05

without p-T sensor and new electronic card
The valve: The smart servo electronic valve has been integrated with a pressure and temperature sensor
alongside a flow meter. The existing design has been further improved by removing some adjustments to
simplify and quicken the set-up process. Integration of pressure and temperature sensors enable excellent
ride quality by providing real time compensation to pressure and temperature variations.

The smart electronic card: The onboard web server and Wi-Fi on the electronic card allows users to connect
with the card using any smart device (phone, tablet, laptop or PC). Setting up the system, making changes or
observing travel graphs of the elevator are possible via Wi-Fi connectivity. The platform is system independent
and can be accessed using any standard web browser independent of the operating system of the device used
for interacting with the card. Since the complete system is platform independent, there is no need to download
and install any app or software. The embedded software on electronic card stores all the settings, information
and travel logs. The step-by-step set up guide and multilingual interface software in SI and Imperial units make
inputting and monitoring information very easy and accessible.

3. THE SEV VALVE

The smart Servo Electronic Valve (SEV) is controlled by closed loop digital electronics, providing consistent
travel characteristics elevators irrespective of load and oil temperature variations. An electronic card
regulates the performance of the car via proportional solenoid valves. The elevator operation can be
monitored, recorded and adjusted by a smart device using Wi-Fi connectivity. Additional intermediate speed
for maintenance runs can also be programmed.

3.3 Valve operation

UP operation
1. With an Up signal, the pump-motor is energized and the electronic card´s Up program starts
simultaneously. Oil flows through orifice 2 into the bypass pilot chamber UC.
2. Coil A is energized and solenoid A (normally open) partially closes, reducing the volume of pilot
oil flowing out from the bypass pilot chamber.
3. The bypass valve U begins to close as pressure increases in the bypass pilot chamber. As the
bypass valve U is closing, the check valve V is opening while a steadily increasing volume of oil
is flowing into the cylinder displacing the flow meter Q.
4. The inductive flow sensor I, measures the increasing displacement of the flow meter. This value
is compared in the card with the target flow, which prescribes the acceleration, full speed,
deceleration and levelling speed of the car. Correction of the flow rate is made by varying the
power to coil A from the card, controlling the position of the bypass valve through pilot pressure
in chamber UC.
5. The comparison and correction of the flow continue throughout the complete Up operation of
the elevator.

DOWN operation

(Caution! Coil D is directly connected to the elevator´s controller, not to the SEV card!)

1. With a Down signal, coil D is energized, solenoid D (normally closed) opens and the electronic
card´s Down program starts simultaneously.
2. Coil C is energized from the card and solenoid C (normally closed) partially opens. Oil escapes
from the down valve pilot chamber XC through solenoid D (fully open) back to the tank, while oil
passes through fixed orifice 8 from the cylinder into the down valve pilot chamber XC.
3. The down valve X begins to open as pressure decreases in the down valve pilot chamber XC.
As the down valve opens, a steadily increasing volume of oil flows from the elevator´s cylinder
into the tank, displacing the flow meter Q.
4. The inductive sensor I measures the increasing displacement of the flow meter. This value is
being compared by the card with the set value of the target flow.
5. Correction of the flow rate is made by varying the power to coil C from the card, controlling the
position of the down valve through pilot pressure in chamber XC.
6. The comparison and correction of the flow continue throughout the complete DOWN operation
of the elevator.

INSPECTION Speed

Besides full speed and levelling speed, an optional inspection speed is available by the SEV system.
Up and down inspection speeds can be independently adjusted between 0.05 m/s and 0.30 m/s.

3.4 Initial Operations

Valves are already adjusted and tested. Check electrical operation before changing valve settings.
Test that the correct coil is energized by using metal parts to feel magnetic pull. Once system is
installed correctly, it is ready for operation.

UP travel
Once an UP call has been made, it will take a few seconds before the elevator starts moving
since the pilot chamber UC is being filled with oil.
 Adjustment 1 – Bypass
With no load in the car, disconnect the SEV card (no power to coil A) and turn on the pump-
motor. Turn adjustment 1 ‘in’ until the car barely moves, then turn ‘out’ so the car stands. Turn
‘out’ another half a turn.

 Pressure relief valve S:

Turning it ‘In’ (clockwise) produces a higher, ‘out’ (c-clockwise) a lower maximum pressure
setting. After turning out, open manual lowering H for an instant to release pressure inside the
valve.
Important: When testing the pressure relief valve, do not close ball valve sharply.

 KS Slack rope valve:

Coils C and D must be de-energized! The KS is adjusted with a 3 mm Allen key. Turning the
screw K ‘in’ results in a higher pressure setting and ‘out’ in a lower pressure setting. To adjust,
turn K all the way ‘in’, then turn K ‘out’ until the empty car just begins to descend, then turn out
another half a turn to ensure that with cold oil the empty car can be lowered as required.

When an up call is given, the car may delay a few seconds whilst the pilot pressure chamber
UC fills with oil.

DOWN

 Adjustment 7 – Maximum speed limitation

Limit the down fast speed in case of wrongly entered technical data being programmed into
the card to avoid a possible overspeed of the car. For fine tuning, as the elevator reaches the
full speed, no. 7 can be turned in until the vibration of the down valve is felt, then turn no. 7
half a turn out.

 Adjustment 9 - Emergency Down Speed

With no load in the car, turn no. 9 in until it is 5 mm away from the flange face. Open the
manual lowering H. Turn no. 9 out until the speed of 3 cm/s (6 ft/m) is reached. The elevator
travels at the speed of adjustment No 9 as the manual lowering knob is opened or when coil D
is energized. Levelling speed should be between 5 – 7 cm/s (10 – 14 ft/min).
Adjustment 9 is the lowest speed to be controlled by the electronic card. Therefore it should be
adjusted lower than the levelling speed.

5. CONTROL VALVE INSTALLATION

Check the following:

1. The flow on the data plate of the valve complies with the flow rate of the pump (±10 %).
2. The minimum and maximum static pressures on the valve data plate is in accordance with those of the
elevator.
3. The electrical supply to the SEV card is 24V DC or 18V AC and 50VA.
4. The star – delta timer is to be set between 0.3s and 0.4s
5. The flow ring R, bypass valve U and down valve X have been chosen correctly according to the selection
charts in section 11.
6. On standby the value of the flow sensor must be adjusted between 4.8mA and 5.3mA (see section 6.).

Installation of the SEV Valve onto the Power Unit

For a compact and time saving installation as well as easier servicing and protection of the flow meter, cylinder
connection Z of the SEV is fitted with the Blain ball valve G1“, G1.5“, G2“or G2.5“.
Installation of the SEV Card into the Controller
The SEV Card can be connected with any standard type hydraulic elevator controller. The power to coils A
and C is supplied from the card. Power to coil D is directly provided by the main controller. Page 11 shows the
detailed wiring diagram for connecting the SEV card to the elevator controller.

6. FLOW SENSOR AND SOLENOID ADJUSTMENTS

6.1 Adjustment of solenoids
The adjustment of the solenoid power level is necessary, if parts of the solenoids have been changed during
servicing. Solenoid power level has to be adjusted to ensure the valves best possible performance and to
produce a quick and smooth initial movement of the car away from the floor. The travel direction is shown by
the color of the LEDs. Green LEDs are referring to Up direction while red LEDs are used for Down direction.

Within the “MAIN MENU” and the “Status”, the digital Trim screws at
value of the UP solenoid (A) or DOWN solenoid (C) solenoids A and C
during an UP or DOWN travel is displayed. Depending (3mm Allen key)
on travel direction, the green LED for output signal A
(Up) or red LED for output signal C (Down) will be
illuminated.
As basic setting, the adjustment screw is turned out all
the way out and then turned in for 3.5 turns. For
finetuning the adjustment screw should be turned
slightly "in" or "out" in order to increase or decrease its
digital value.
If the elevator runs at a constant speed, i.e. at full speed
or slow speed, this digital value should ideally be
around 2100 ± 200. To alter the value, turn the trim
screw in or out.
If possible, the adjustment should be made during slow speed, as there is more time for adjusting between 2
floors. The starting value for acceleration is 2400. Since the SEV card always starts with this value in the
standard setting, the solenoid valve adjustment should ensure a quick and soft start.

Alternatively, after the basic setting, you

can also activate the self-learning (teach SEV5:
mode) for optimal setting of the solenoid
valves. To do this, switch on the DIP3. Then SEV7:
the activation is displayed as follows.
Attention! Teach runs have to be
executed under no load condition!

Now start the empty lift and let it run until the display for a successful learning run appears. The numbers for
the currently determined optimal starting value appear behind the two solenoid valves A and C. This should
be in the range of 2400 ± 300.
If there are green ticks behind the numbers, then the starting values are
within the allowed range. If black arrows appear, then the setting of the
solenoid valve is too high or too low. If the value is
too high, then turn the adjustment screw ¼ turn
counterclockwise and if the value is too low, turn it in
the opposite direction accordingly. Depending on the
deviation from 2400 and the gain, you still have to readjust 1/8 turn to get within
the permissible range.

6.2 Solenoid valve correction when fully loaded

After the adjustment of the solenoid valves for the unloaded condition has been successfully completed, a
correction for the loaded condition may be necessary under certain circumstances.
Under "Settings" -> "Valve settings" -> "Solenoid valve settings", the starting behavior at nominal load can be
corrected using the correction value parameter.
If having a delayed take off, the correction value should be increased, e.g. from 100% to 110%. If, on the other
hand, the take-off occurs with a jerk, the correction value should be reduced.
6.3 Solenoid valve adjustment for relevelling
With the relevelling it is possible to set its starting behavior under "Settings" -> "Valve settings" -> "Solenoid
valve settings" using the "Relevelling" parameter. The solenoid valve setting for the relevelling can assume
values from 1 (delayed but gently) to 10 (rapid but with a jerky take off). The default value is set to 4.

6.4 Adjustment of flow sensor

Attention!
Flow sensor is already factory adjusted. Readjusting is only necessary when replacing sensors.

Vertical sensor adjustment

If the sensor value [mA] under static condition is not set between 4.8
and 5.3 mA, close the ball valve and open manual lowering to drop
the valve pressure, loosen up the lock screw of the sensor and turn
the knurled sensor-head in or out until the value is between 4.8 and
5.3 mA. Re-tighten the lock screw. 1
Attention: Adjusting the sensor value below 4.5 mA may cause the 2
sensor to press against the flow meter! 3
4
Radial sensor adjustment

For radial adjustment of the sensor loosen the bushing lock nut (4),
without turning the sensor bushing (2). Operate the elevator to run 1 Sensor head
Up and Down at leveling speed. Measure the speed with stop watch 2 Sensor bushing
or tachometer. Levelling speeds for both directions should have the [19 mm (3/4”) spanner]
same value. If Down leveling speed is slower than Up leveling 3 Sensor lock screw
speed, rotate the bushing (2) clockwise by 15° and re-measure the (3mm Allen key)
leveling speeds. If Down leveling speed is faster than Up leveling 4 Bushing lock nut
speed, rotate the bushing (2) counter-clockwise by 15° and re- [32 mm (1 1/4”) spanner]
measure the leveling speeds.
Repeat the process of rotating the bushing in clockwise or anti-

practically the same. Re-tighten the bushing lock nut once the setup
is finished.

8.1 Main menu

The language of the software can be

changed by pressing the country flag
symbol in the upper left corner.

Once the desired language has been selected, enter the date, time and
preferred unit system in the “Settings” menu. To return to the “MAIN
MENU” from any point in the submenu, use the " MAIN MENU " button.

The “Install wizard” is being used to assist during valve setup and serves
as a step by step guide to help users entering the complete and correct
necessary elevator data.

The “Data collection” gives an overview about all entered data to make
changes if necessary and it gives access to the “Logbook” and the
“Trouble shooting” sections.

In the “Settings” menu you can change units, valve and Wi-Fi settings or
reset settings to factory settings if desired.

The “State/notifications” shows the status of the system and allows for possible updates.

The “Access” button gives the user the possibility to enter and change passwords necessary for accessing
the features of the software. Only with correct access changes can be made.

Furthermore the “MAIN MENU” acts as the first tool for analyzing and setting up the valve. Values for pressure,
temperature and flow are displayed. In case of no readings the connections need to be rechecked or the
sensors changed. LEDs for input and output give feedback for diagnostics. While traveling constantly in full
speed or levelling speed in Up or Down direction, the highlighted digital value should stay in the range of 2100
± 200. The green check marks should show up behind the digital values of the solenoids giving feedback of
the correct starting values.

The following section of this installation manual describes how to set up and service the valve with the help of
the software. The most important points of navigating the menu will be covered and the sub menus “Install
wizard”, “Data collection”, “Settings” and “State / Notifications” will be explained in detail.

Please note: Changing data is only allowed when correct access codes are being input!
The standard level 1 code is 1111 and can be changed by the user by pressing the access

8.2 Install Wizard

The installation wizard only needs to be used when a new SEV card is taken from storage. In the case of a
new installation or spare parts delivery directly from the factory, the data has already been entered and the
wizard does not need to be used. The "Data collection" submenu should be used to check the existing data.
Before the installation wizard is started it is highly recommended that all technical data of the lift is readily
available and that the input unit is correctly selected. The choice for unit’s selection between Metric and
Imperial can be made from the “Settings” menu > units from the home screen.

←Left
After starting the install wizard and
reading the welcome screen, you
are asked to enter the necessary
cylinder data. Pressing the buttons
for the different piston types will
bring up a dialogue field (screen on
the right), where the desired values
can be entered. To change
transmission ratio or number of
cylinders, tap on the corresponding
values.
The effective piston diameter is
calculated depending on the
entered data. Changing its value will
override all other data.

Right→
Select a piston type and enter its
diameters by tapping on the values.
Use the confirm button on the
bottom right to get back to the
screen on the left.

←Left
Enter the pump performance data
provided by the manufacturer. Due
to changes in load and oil viscosity
the pump will not always deliver its
full flow. Furthermore some flow is
needed by the SEV to regulate and
provide constant speed and travel
time. 90 % efficiency is an
approximated value.

Right→
Provide the static weight of your
elevator system and the pay load
data. Alternatively the values for
minimum and maximum pressure
can be entered. Please note, that
entering the weight automatically
calculates the pressure and vice
versa.

←Left and Right→

Enter your desired speeds,
acceleration and deceleration times
of the Up travel as well as the Down
travel.
Your full speed in Up direction is
already being calculated based on
the entered piston and pump data.
Speed in Down direction is limited to
196,85ftm (1m/s). Values shown in
imperial units are displayed after
being converted from Metric system
and therefore vary slightly from the
actual value. Soft stop controls the
final stop into the landing zone in Up
direction. Making it too soft
(choosing a smaller value) may
cause the elevator to continue
traveling and surpassing the floor
level. The relevelling can be set
between 1 (delayed but gently) and
10 (rapid but with a jerky take off).
Standard value is 4.

←Left
The inspection travel speed for Up
and for Down direction can be set
here. The speed can be used for
inspections or short floor distances.
Press continue to proceed further.

Right→
Once you reach the final screen,
the install wizard ends, confirming
that the entered data has been
saved successfully on the
electronic card. In order to review
and change all entered data, you
can run the install wizard again or
check the “Data collection”.

Usually, speed is controlled by
following a constant target value
(speed mode CSM).
The energy saving mode (ESM)
can be used to optimally use the
pump flow rate. In this case the
target speed is adjusted to the
current speed for each travel.
Speed is depending on the load.
The flow rate of the pump changes,
which leads to different floor to floor
travel times. To ensure that the
slow speed times remain the same,
the deceleration phase is varied
accordingly.

←Left
2.3.3 If parts of the solenoid valve "A" or 2.3.4
"C" are replaced (pre-setting:
complete out and 3 turns in) or the
solenoid valve setting is changed, a
teachrun with an empty cabin must
first be carried out (see 8.3.5). Then
the correction for the approach in the
loaded state takes place. If the
approach takes too long (increase in
the coil value), the correction value
(only SEV7) must be reduced; if it is
too hard be increased accordingly.
The calculation of the correct
correction value is displayed as a
suggestion and should be adopted
with the correction value. Depending
on the deviation from the ideal value,
the correction is made 2-3 times.
Right→
The setpoint for the pressure relief
valve is calculated from the maximum
pressure entered and multiplied by
factor 1.4. The current actual value
(SEV07 only) can be used for setting.

←Left
2.3.5 The gain factor is used for better 2.3.6
control and to equalize the input
sizes. A larger value shortens the
response time of the valve (Caution!
Vibrations if the value is too large). A
decrease dampens the responses
from the valve.
The default value is 8.

The dither value from the controller
prevents the solenoid valve from
sticking when the control value

switch must be switched "ON". The
teach run of the solenoid valve is
used to correct imprecise manual
settings on the solenoid valve.
During the self-learning phase, the
system will start up frequently in
succession until it has found the
appropriate starting value. If the
value has been determined and is in
the range of 2400±300, then the
teach run has ended successfully. If
the journey is aborted during the
learning phase, the message "teach
run incomplete" appears. If the
value is outside the permissible
range, the solenoid valve must be
readjusted and the teach run carried
out again, even if the “teaching
successful” message appears.

←Left and Right→

To calibrate full speed, the elevator
2.6.2 must run at full speed and reach a
2.6.2
constant speed. To calibrate the
slow speed, the elevator may only
start at slow speed (relevelling). To
do this, only give a slow speed
signal or, alternatively, disconnect
terminal 6 (up) or terminal 5 (down)
from the card and give a full speed
signal. In this case, the card only
receives a slow speed signal. If the
elevator runs at the same speed, the
run can be interrupted and the slow
speed calibrated. Once finished
reconnect the terminal(s).

The "Teach run" menu is used for fine adjustment of the main speeds (full speed and/or slow speed), if they
do not match the target values. Only the speed of the last trip in the direction traveled can be edited, all others
have a gray background. A teach run may become necessary if the sensor, the electronic card or the flow
meter have been changed. The new data is immediately adopted in the sensor table!

If you enter the wrong data without running again, enter the data correctly or reset to standard values!

LED of the boot loader flashes very quickly. The process usually takes approxemitly 30 seconds. As soon as
the process is complete, the green and red Boot Loader LEDs are flashing slowly alternately. There are two
options for performing updates:

1. Update via power supply

a. Disconnect the SEV card from the power supply.
b. Put a jumper on the two exposed pins of the boot loader.
c. Insert the micro SD card into the card slot.
d. Reconnect the power supply to the SEV card.
e. Wait for the update to finish.
f. Remove the bridge from the two pins.
g. Connect your device to the SEV card.

2. Update via menu button

a. Insert the micro SD card into the card slot.
b. Connect to the WLAN of the SEV card and call up the menu.

c. Go to Status / Messages and press the "Update" button.

d. Enter the password level 1 (if not changed: 1111) and confirm your entry.
e. Wait for the update to finish.

9. ERROR RELAIS
Card Internal Relay R1 - Evacuation of passengers

Important

If there is a major fault interfering with the normal operation of the SEV card when travelling between floors,
power supply to coil A or C will automatically be interrupted.

During Up travel the motor and during Down travel coil D (Down start/stop) remain energised unless the
SEV relay R1 signals otherwise.

When a major fault occurs the relay R1 on the SEV card switches to send and error signal to
the main controller. The terminals 18, 19 and 20 are used for error signal wiring. When R1
relay switches, then the following emergency functions should initiate:
 Motor-pump combination will be switched off
 Coil D is energised to lower the car at levelling speed to the next lower floor
 Elevator is taken out of service and emergency service is being notified

The following faults are signalled by illuminating the red Error LED. At the same time, the notifications
section in the software menu will show the nature of the fault as follows:

Major Faults

1. Coil defect Coil A or C disconnected or short circuited.

Elevator stops.
Sensor disconnected, damaged or wrongly Relay R1 switches over.
2. Sensor defect
adjusted.

After the fault has been corrected, errors 1-2 must be cancelled by pressing OK button on SEV
Card and erased from the notifications menu.

Minor Faults

Power supply to the card is less than 17 V DC.

3 Supply Voltage Elevator operation continues at inspection
speed.
The value of the sensor does not change within
4 Sensor feedback Elevator continues to
8 seconds of the start signal.
The value of the sensor exceeds its defined operate.
5 Sensor overflow Relay R1 does not switch.
maximum value.
Duration of up or down levelling phase is
6 Leveling too long
excessively long.
7 Overtravel Elevator surpasses the floor level.

Errors 3-7 do not have influence on the operation of the elevator. As long as the power supply to the SEV
card is maintained, errors will be saved and the orange LED will remain illuminated. The error indication can
be cancelled one after the other in reversed order of occurrence (last error first) by pressing OK button on
the SEV card or by erasing the error messages within the “notifications” menu.
