ADJUSTMENT OF CO. IN CENTRE PARTING DOORS

Slow plates:
1. Place the slow plates at the operator extremes.
2. Check that distance between them is X.(fig.1)
3. Tighten the air cord clamps (fig. 2).
Fast plates:
1. Place the fast plates in flush
position with the slow plates.
2. Tighten the air cord clamps
(fig. 2).

* X = CO + 45mm
(In case of fire protected panels)
*X = CO + 30mm
(In case of non fire protected panels)

Adjust the opening of the door

by the slots of the top of the
hanger plates.

ADJUSTMENT OF CO. IN SIDE OPENING DOORS

1. Place the flush plates in open position.
2. Check that between the extreme plate
and the end of opening there is a
distance of X*, as shown fig. 1. Use the
slots of the top plate for adjusting the
door (see figure 1).
3. Once the fast plate is in the flush
position with the slow plate, fix the
syncronization cord (fig. 2).

INSTALATION OF GUIDE
SHOES AND HANGERS
Guide shoes (fig. 1)
and hangers (fig. 2)
installation in panel
procedure.

ADJUSTMENT OF PANELS
The following procedure is the
same for any type of cabin door
(Central or side opening).
1. Once the panels are placed
into their corresponding
plates, slide them through
the side they open till they
are raised with the frames.
2. Tighen the nuts that hold
the plates with the hangers
(fig. 1).
3. Straigthen the panels with
the help of the hanger nuts
until the panel is parallel
to the post (fig. 1). Check
that between tread, between
panel and panel, and
between panel and post it
exist a distance of 5mm. (fig. 2)

Alignment of panels:
The panels should slide
smoothly in the tread. If for
any reason the panels do not
slide smoothly, follow these
instructions:
1. Disassemble the inferior
guides.
2. Straigthen the panels to
remain parallel to the tread.
3. Assemble the guides.

29

ADJUSTMENT OF WHEELS

1. The adjustment will be made by the

inferior wheels (eccentric), rotating the
shaft we can adjust the force done to the
track.
2. This adjustment may be done with an
allen wrench of 5 mm and the flat key.
An excessive tightening could stop the
panel.

Wheels are adjusted in factory, only should be regulated

in case of bad functioning.

LANDING DOOR COUPLING

The cabin door includes the moving skate
that does the opening of the landing door.
When the cabin door is closed, the moving
skate remains closed, so that while the
cabin is moving it does not work with the
landing locks (fig.1).
Before the opening manoeuvre, the moving
skate opens and unlocks the landing lock
so that it can start the opening and closing
of the landing door.
In the closing cycle, the movements will be
other way round, moving the skate while
closing, and closing the skate to free the
landing lock, so that the landing door will
be ready to close and the cabin free to
move.
The correct position of the skate is centred
in relation with the rollers of the landing
lock.

30

CORRECT ADJUSTMENT BETWEEN CLAMP AND RETAINER

Once the skate is placed

(145mm between the end of
the plate and the shaft of the
skate), in locked position,
adjust the clamp-retainer
set by the slots (8 x 25) of the
support with a gap of 0,5 mm
in the horizontal and vertical
shaft.

Doors 4 panels between CO 600 until

CO 915 the measure
is 80mm.

LOCKING DEVICE
Figure A1 and B1
correspond to a
lock set and figures
A2 and B2 show an
open position. In
these drawings we
can notice the
correct situation
of the locking mechanism parts.

1. Locked position, between landing cam and

movement bushing should be 10mm to allow the
cabin fit (fig. A1 and B1).
2. Check when cabin is in the floor the locking device
and cam work allowing a correctly opening of the
door (fig. A2 and B2).

PROGRAMMING
DESCRIPTION
OF SWITCHES

The unit may be programmed using the

DIL switches on the front of the unit. If
any change is made to any of the above
switch selections, the Mains Supply to the
VVVF-4+ unit MUST be switched OFF and
ON again to read the new programming.
The switches functions are:
1 1 & 2 Inputs:
ON: 1 Input
The door control unit will be controlled by
a single input. Any voltage between 12 to

250 volts AC or DC applied between terminals 8 & 10 will open the doors. Without
any signal the door remains open. In the
contrary the door remains close.
OFF: 2 Inputs
The door control module will be controlled
by two independent inputs. Any voltage
between 12 to 250 volts AC or DC applied
between terminals 8 & 10 will cause the
doors to close. And between terminals 12
& 10 will cause the doors to open. In the
absence of a signal, the doors will remain
static. If both inputs are applied then the
open signal has priority.

2 Automatic / Semiautomatic:
ON: Automatic: Operators with skate (automatic landing). In this case a special movement is made for locking and unlocking the skate
OFF: Semiautomatic: Operators without skate (Semiautomatic landing door).
3 Rotation sense (photocell):
ON: The control unit is expecting to control left hand or centre opening doors.
OFF: The control unit is expecting to control right hand opening doors.
(Special Note: The sense is defined from the outside of the car, refering to the direction taken
when the door is opening.)

4 Master and Slave:

ON: Master: The door control unit will execute instructions directly. Example: operation
of the Photoelectric Detector will cause the doors to re-open immediately under control
of the door control unit.
OFF: Slave: There is no automatic re-open movements. The photocell will only react
to instruction given by the main lift controller by the inputs. Example: operation of the
Safety Edge Detector will cause the door operator module to give a signal to the main
lift controller via the PHOTOCELL (36, 37, 38) output. The main lift controller then must
remove the close signal and put the open signal.

34

INPUTS
POWER INPUTS 220-250 V SINGLE PHASE AC (5, 6, 7):
The circuit has been designed to operate on a mains
supply of 230 Volts AC (+10%,-15%, 50 or 60 Hz). The
unit will consume approx 1 Amp from the supply.
In the case of using the new External Emergency Passenger Release System the connection of the power
from the main supply (230V) is done directly on the
unit (3 NEUTRAL - 2 GROUNDING - 3 PHASE). From
there onwards through the interconnection between
of the 2 boxes (VVVF4 5 - 6 - 7 & Emergency Unit 5 - 6
- 7) the power is trasmitted to VVVF (page 35).
CONTROL INPUTS (8, 9, 10, 11, 12):
The circuit can work with external voltage inputs or
by means a volt free contact input.

12. Opening Signal:

Is an isolated signal with an impedance of
20 kOmh and a sensibility from 12 to 250V.
used for ordering the door. If we use the
control with only one input, it will be closing signal and door will open.
11. 0 Volts:
Is the negative pole of 12V. When using an
internal voltage it should bridged to common (10).
10. Common:
Is the reference used for the two inputs.

It is important that the Door

Operator Module has a GOOD
EARTH CONNECTION.

9. 12 Volt:
Isolated 12 Volts output available to
control the door via a volt free contact.
Features are:
a. This supply must only be used for this
purpose.
b. This contact must be isolated from any
other power supply.
8. Close signal:
It has the same characteristics as the
open signal.

SERIAL PORT (13, 14, 15, 16):

The serial port is used to connect with external
devices like the diagnostic console, interfaces and
future expansion devices. Operating speed 1.200
Baud, current loop.

35

PHOTOCELL (17, 18, 19, 20):

One of the most relevant characteristics of this control is the optional incorporation
of a photocell. It is composed by a emitter and receptor infrared.

OTHER INPUTS (26, 21, 25, 23):

26. Landing signal:

This input is for connecting the external
emergency current supplier that allows
the opening manouvre in the case of power
failure by a battery of 12V, able to give
power during 15 seconds for a passengers
rescue.
21. Reopening:
This signal is for installing the cabin door
swich or an external barrier. This signal has
priority to the closing signal. Use contacts
free on tension. For activating close one
contact with the main supply +12V. (23).

25. Slow Closing:

This input orders to the operator to close
the door slowly regardless of the barrier
and control signs. Is created for working
with detection of fire centres.
23. + 12 V. COM:
This terminal is used for giving with an
isolated contact a reopening order or a
slow closing. Always use contacts free of
tension and usually open.

36

EMERGENCY SUPPLY INPUTS (66-67-28-29) AND INTERCONNECTION WITH VVVF

The KLEFER VVVF can be connected with an optional External Emergency Passenger
Release System powered by a 12V battery. In the case of Power Failure the battery
provides sufficient power to release trapped passengers. The Door opening manouevre
is controlled by a free voltage contact, applied between terminals 66 & 67.
Special attention should be paid to the following points:
The connection of the power from the main supply (230V) is done directly on the Unit. (
3-Neutral 2 Ground 1 Phase ). From there onwards through the interconnection of
the two boxes (VVVF4 5-6-7 & Emergency Unit 5-6-7), the power is transmitted to the
VVVF4. On the connections 66 & 67 of the Emergency Unit connect the magnetic Normally Open Switch (NO), which through the assistance of a magnetic belt closes
the circuit.
Special attention should be paid to the connection of the battery. On connector 28 of
the Emergency Unit connect the negative pole and on connector 29 the positive. In any
other case the 20A fuse will be burned. The Battery automatically recharges itself, once
its capacity drops below 70%, and may take up to 48 hours. The situation of the battery
is indicated through a led on the Emergency Unit showing the following three different
statuses.
1. When the led is ON it means that battery is charging. If this lasts for more than 48
hours the battery is defective and should be replaced (2Ah and above).
2. When the led is flashing everything is operating properly.
3. When the led is flashing every 15 seconds a cut in electricity has occurred.

37

OUTPUT RELAYS AND LED INDICATORS (from 30 to 41):

Output relays have been provided to give continuous information to the main lift controller concerning the status of the doors. One 5 Amp/250 Volts volt free change over contact is provided on each relay that may be used by the main lift controller to pilot such
information as doors fully opened, doors fully closed, Photoelectric detection,
obstruction in the doorway and door control O.K..
Opened: Led indicator and relay activated when
the doors are fully open.
Closed: Led indicator and relay activated when
the doors are fully closed and locked.
Photocell: Led indicator and relay activated when
the photocell or the reopening input is operated.

Obstruction: Led indicator and relay activated when

an obstacle is detected that stops the doors from
closing. The signal will reset when the doors reach
the opened or closed position.

Status: Blinking led indicating proper working

conditions.

38

TEST PUSHBUTTON (50):

Operation of the Test pushbutton will
cause a door open or close cycle.
AUTOADJUSTMENT PUSHBUTTON (51):
The Autoadjustment pushbutton is used
to set up the doors. The doors will do 3
complete movements at first the doors will
close completly, then the doors will open
slowly counting the pulses from the encoder built into the drive motor until they
reach the open mechanical stop, and after
a short delay the doors will close. From
the information gained the microprocessor
will calculate the acceleration and deceleration ramps and the bracking torque
required to give the optimum control of the
doors. Once the autoadjustment has been
completed the parameter are stored in
non- volatile EEPROM and will be used to
calculate the optimum performance. The
doors will open slowly for the first operation after power has been removed from
the door control unit. Autoadjustment only
needs to be used when setting the initial
parameters or when changes such as connecting or removing the Fermator Safety
Detector are made. For Advanced Start Up
Protocol & Autoadjustment of the VVVF
(INVERTER) see Appendix I

CLOSE SPEED (52):

The door closing speed can be independently adjusted from 150 mm/s upto 600
mm/s.
OPEN SPEED (53):
The door opening speed can be independently adjusted from 200 mm/s upto 1.000
mm/s.
SAFETY (54):
This potentiometer is used to set the
closing pressure onto an obstacle in the
doorway. The closing pressure can be set
between 40 and 150 Nw.
ENCODER (55):
An integral quadrature pulse encoder is
connected to this input. The purpose of
the encoder, which is situated inside the
motor, is to inform the control of the exact
position and speed of doors.
MOTOR (56):
Output to the 3 phase motor varying the
voltage and frequency to control speed and
torque.
ON/OFF SWITCH (57):
Disconnects the unit from the 230 Volts AC
mains supply.

Caution: When the supply is switched

off, capacitors in the control system will
remain charged for a short time. Allow
60 seconds before handling the Control
Card or Motor.

START UP PROTOCOL & AUTOADJUSTMENT OF THE VVVF (INVERTER)

1. Put the cabin between floors, in order to make adjustments separately from landing doors.
2. Put the door middle opened, after switching off the unit (switch 57).
3. Disconnect the signals coming from the main controller (8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 21, 23, 25).
4. Programm in 2 INPUTS and MASTER (Microswitches 1 in OFF and 4 in ON) independ ently to how you will program the doors afterwards. Microswitches 2 and 3 according
to the kind of door. (Right-Left-Central sense and semiautomatic or automatic landing door).
5. Adjust the 3 potentiometers (52, 53, 54) in maximum, in order to overcome little
mechanical disorders.
6. Switch on the unit by means the main switch (57).
7. The door must remain stopped. If the door moves check the micro switch 1 in OFF position.
8. Press the AUTO ADJUSTMENT button (51) to make an auto adjustment cycle.
. The door should close.
In case it opens you should check the micro switch 3 and if it is correct then any motor phases
is inverted and it will have to interchange 2 of them and make the auto adjustment again.
If the door doesn t move, check the motor wires and the motor connector (56).
If the door stops before closing completely, the information from the encoder is not
correct.
Check the encoder (55) and try the auto adjustment again.
If the door stops in the locking skate movement, check manually if the locking and de-locking
skate movement is made easily and completely. (See the Mounting cabin doors instructions).
If the door doesnt close completely disconnect the VVVF and check if there is any
mechanical obstruction.
B. Once the door is fully closed it will activate the CLOSE led and after a few seconds
will open slowly and the led will be deactivated.
The door should open slowly until the mechanical rubber stopper.
If it only opens 26cm, the encoder information doesn t arrive to the VVVF. Check the
connections or change the encoder or the wire if they are damaged.
If it doesn t open completely, check the mechanical because the motor torque is
enough to drag any kind of door (Check the wheels, the leaves, e.t.c.)
C. The door will close again without hitting.
If the door doesnt close, one encoder phase fails. Verify the wire and the encoder.
If the door stops for some seconds before the close movement there is too much
mechanical friction detected by the system. The system will work, but the door
operator should be checked mechanically.
If the door closes hitting, check the microswitch No.2 (type of landing door).
At this point by pressing TEST button the door will make a closing or opening movement. It should open and close without hitting with the standard movements pre-programmed. So now it is the time to adjust the speeds (52 and 53).
D. Be sure that the 3 movements (CLOSE-OPEN-CLOSE) are well completed when running the autoadjustment function. Check all the functions: obstruction, photocell, the
inputs, open/close movements, etc.
E. If the VVVF control works correctly, we can switch off the circuit and program according to your requirements and connect the input signals from the manoeuvre lift control.

42

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

The door doesnt answer to the test
or auto-adjustment buttons.
Switch OFF (57) and try again.
The door only closes 35cm.
This is the clear entrance of any
controller that has never been adjusted.
Therefore an auto adjustment is required.
The door opens but doesnt close.
Check if the photocell LED is activated.
Check if the close signal arrives to the
system using a multimeter or the console.
Check if the re-opening signal is activated.
Check that there is no stray voltage in
the open signal.
The door re-opens by itself.
Check the sensibility of the re-opening
(# 54) Safety regulation potentiometer.
Check that the photocell is not activated.
Check that there is no mechanical
obstruction on the door.
In case of having the same problem,
disconnect the photocell and try again
with the TEST button, and if the door
doesnt open totally there must be a
mechanical obstruction on the door.
The photocell is activated intermittently.
Check the grounding connection (#6).
Check the correct plugs connection.
Remove the photocell wiring from any
place where there are electric noises
such as motors, supplies wiring, etc. If
you can use a console, please check the
stability of the signal.
Do not extend the wires especially the
reception one (green colour).
Take in mind that in master mode
the system recognizes automatically
the photocell detector after making
a complete open - close cycle with the
beam free controlled by the input signals.
The door doesnt reach the fully open position.
The mechanical adjustment of the door

is not correct, as the motor of the door

operator has always enough power to
open in normal circumstances.
The door reopens when the skate is closing.
Check the regulation of the skate,
because probably the locking system
of the skate is not well adjusted and
the door has a mechanical friction, and
consequently the door reopens and the
obstruction LED lights.
The door hits when it opens.
Check that the skate un-locking is well
fixed before the door starts to open. In
case the skate is not fully fixed you should
check the skate adjustment because it is
probably too hard.
The ON LED is activated and the door
doesnt obey to the signals.
There has been an obstruction at
opening and then the door enters into an
out of order stage during 15 seconds.
There is a continuous obstruction and
the lift controller has not changed the
close signal by the open signal in slave mode.
There has been a short circuit in the
output of the motor, and the system will
be deactivated during 3 seconds.
The door hits when is fully opened,
the open LED is not activated and
the system gets out of order.
Check the tension of the toothed belt,
because probably it is not correctly
adjusted and it slips on the pulley of the
motor and consequently the encoder is
sending a wrong information.
The system gets power but doesnt work
and the led ON is off.
Check if the external fuse is burned and
change it for another of the same type
(250V, 4A ceramic fast speed).

43

The LEDS are working but the door

doesnt move.
The power module (and the internal fuse
related) is blown and the controller must
be sent back to be repaired. Do not try to
change it by yourself as it could give an
electric shock and damage more components.
The motor is moving intermittently.
Check the wiring connections or if a
phase of the motor is falling.
The door opens less centimeters in each
movement and the opened led is activated, but the door is not really opened.
If the motor box protection has been
de-mounted, be sure that the encoder
wire is free inside the box. Maybe the
wire is pressed between the motor and a
plastic nerve and the encoder informa tion does not arrive properly to the VVVF.
How to check the correct direction
of rotation of the motor.
Disconnect the input signals from the

controller, the encoder wires and

program the switch 1 in ON position.
(Only mains supply and motor connected).
Switch on the circuit. If the door starts
to open, then the turning sense is
correct, but if the door starts to close,
interchange two motor phases.
Connect the encoder wire and the
system inputs.
How to check the encoder
If the door opens 26cm only, the encoder
information doesnt arrive to the VVVF.
Check the connections or the wires if
they are damaged or change the encoder.
If during the start up, the door opens
completely (after closing), it remains
opened, although the CLOSED led is
activated, a phase of the encoder is
failing and we have to interchange the
two central wires. Even if after the above
the door doesnt work properly, change
the encoder.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE FOR CABIN DOORS VVVF

1. Check and replace the electric contact as necessary. (Approximately after 2 million cycles).
2. Periodically check that the closing cycle ends resting on the rubber stop.
3. Concentric and eccentric wheels require no maintenance. Replace them when they
have signs of wear, noisy operation... (Approx. after 10 million cycles).
4. To prolong the life of the hanger wheels keep the top tracks clean. Never apply grease
to the top tracks.
5. Once a year grease the shafts of the skate. Use only SAE-20 lubricants (Do not use
spray lubricants).
6. Replace the guide shoes when they appear to be worn.
7. Periodically check the tension of the belt. With the correct tension the life of the belt
is almost unlimited.
8. Once a year grease the shaft of return splined pulley (Do not use spray lubricants).
9. Periodically check and adjust the tension of the air cords. Replace them when they
have signs of breaks, wear... (approximately after 6 million cycles).
10. Synchronization wheels (air cord pulleys) need no maintenance. Replace them when
the have signs of wear, cracks or noisy operation... (approx. 8 million cycles).
