OVERVIEW
This document describes the procedure to transition the GeN2 ANSI/CSA elevator system from
Manual (Construction) Mode operation to Normal (MCSS) operation and subsequently, to complete
all system adjustments and tests required for final handover.
GeN2 ANSI/CSA is a machine-room-less system that uses proven Modular Control System
technology. The “NGGC” controller for GeN2 is designed for installation in a control space or control
room adjacent to, or remote from, the elevator hoistway.
The elevator system will be adjusted using an adaptation of existing methodology designed to
accommodate the mechanical layout of the machine-room-less system components. Some of the
features concerning the GeN2 ANSI/CSA system and the Adjustment strategy are listed as follows.
• In order to commence the adjustment procedure, it is expected that the elevator system be
under Manual (Construction) Mode operation, with all installation processes completed
according to the GeN2 Installation Manual.
• Sections 1 through 3 of this document present a guide to ensure that the mechanical and
electrical components of the system have been completed according to the GeN2
Installation Manual. These items will be completed with the elevator continuing under
Manual (Construction) Mode operation.
• As a result of the mechanical layout of the machine-room-less GeN2 system, there are
some notable changes in the control system and adjustment processes, as follows.
• Counterweight overbalance adjustment will be confirmed using a procedure to
evaluate the motor running currents.
• Remote electrical trip and reset devices are provided for checking governor and
safety activation. Operation of these devices will be confirmed as part of the
adjustment procedure.
• Elevator system motion and status display capability is provided on the controller
through the Service Panel Board.
• Ride quality and motion performance will be evaluated from within the elevator car,
following completion of all safety testing and operational control start-up.
• The GeN2 Machine brake includes two independent braking systems within the same
housing. The procedure to confirm the brake static capacity at 125% load involves an
individual test for each of the independent systems.
• An independent Manual Rescue Operation system is provided as part of the “NGGC”
controller. Manual Rescue Operation is implemented through the Service Panel Board and
associated battery backed components. Operation of this system will be confirmed as part of
the adjustment procedure.
The GeN2 ANSI/CSA product range is classified into two distinct categories, based upon elevator
duty and rise. The first category, known as “Limited Duties”, utilizes the 2.5T machine and covers
the 955 – 1134 kg (2100 – 2500 lb) duties to a maximum rise of 60 m (197 ft). The second

category, known as “Extended Duties”, utilizes the 5T machine and covers the 1134 kg – 2268 kg
(2500 – 5000 lb) duties to a maximum rise of 92 m (302 ft).
The two categories of GeN2 equipment have many common components; however there are some
major differences in the main mechanical structures of the two systems.
Where applicable within this document, instructions specific to “Limited Duty” or “Extended Duty”
equipment or components are provided. It is important to note the differences in equipment and to
refer to the appropriate instruction set.
Note: The following diagrams illustrate the different structures of the “Limited Duty” and “Extended
Duty” car frames.

NOTE: If counterweight safeties are present, perform the same checks and adjustments as
for the car safeties. This work can be done from the pit or from the car top.
When 9672E safeties are used, the actual stopping distance is calculated by subtracting 148.5
mm. from the actual slide distance. This is due to the geometry of this safety with 2 knurled
rollers located 148.5 mm vertically from each other. If the 9672D safeties are used, the mark on
the rail is identical to the stopping distance because this safety used only 1 knurled roller.

To ensure that the designed car balance is achieved, the hitch points of the traveling cable,
compensation chains (where used) and specified quantity of static balance weights must be
positioned as indicated on the contract layout diagram.
Refer to the following procedure to check the static balance and confirm that the car frame is not
racked or twisted.
1. Inspect and confirm the location of the hitch points of the traveling cable, the compensating
chains and the specified quantity of static balance weights as indicated on the contract layout
diagram.
2. Place 30% of the duty load in the elevator, evenly distributed on the platform. Where possible,
place the test weights in a diagonal “cross” pattern.
3. Position the elevator as close as possible to the mid hoistway position, while allowing access to
car top from the closest landing. Ensure that any additional static balance weights are available
at this landing.
4. Mark the location of the top roller guide assemblies on the crosshead to facilitate precise
replacement following completion of the check procedure.
5. Establish reference marks for car side – side, front – back position.
• Apply masking tape to the hoistway sill and mark a line from a convenient component on the

Since the PTD mounts off the car's crosshead, all members of the car frame must be plumb and
square before proceeding with installation of the PTD. Ensure that the roller guides have been set
to position the car frame central to the rails and any car frame twist has been corrected as
described previously. Due to the length of the PTD bracket, additional bracing may be required to
stiffen the bracket arrangement.
The following is the recommended method of installation:
1. The vanes are mounted on a bracket attached to the main rail. Refer to the erection drawings
for dimensions and details.
2. Place approximately 20% of duty load evenly over the car platform.
Note: Throughout this procedure, the installer should take care to work from the same place
on top of the car, so as not to affect the relative position of the PTD with the vanes
from floor to floor.
3. Position the car at the first landing with the car sill level with the hoistway sill.
4. Mark a horizontal centerline at 75 mm across the vane (the vane is 150 mm in length). Mark
additional horizontal lines at 19 mm above and below the centerline. The lines will be used to
position the center of the door zone vane with the center of the DZ sensor (middle one of the
three vertical sensors) on the reader box.

5. Position the vane so that the lines drawn on it bracket the middle sensor. Fasten the vane,
checking that it is both plumb and has sufficient penetration (depth) into the three sensors.
6. Set the top sensor flush or even with the top edge of the vane. (The top sensor will be reset to
its final location at the top floor.)
7. Proceed to the next floor and level the car sill to hoistway sill. Adjust the next vane so that it is
exactly even with the top sensor (use a level if necessary).
Note: Repeat this step for the remaining floors.
8. When all of the vanes have been set, re-adjust the DZ1 sensor and check the setting of the DZ2
sensor to ensure 27 – 29 mm (1.06" – 1.14") clearance from the DZ sensor, as shown in the
following diagram.

(B) provides normal brake operation and the “Emergency Brake” (BE) provides brake operation
for the Unintended Car Movement and Ascending Car Overspeed protection.
• The brake system is fully adjusted in the factory thus eliminating any field adjustment
requirements. Note the following points regarding the brake as delivered to the field:
• The braking torque (spring tension) is pre-adjusted to suit contract requirements.
• Running clearances are optimal according to the inherent brake design.
• Brake state sensors are adjusted for correct operation.
CAUTION !
Adjustment of the GeN2 ANSI/CSA brake is done under strictly controlled factory
procedures. Due to the precise tolerances within the brake, field adjustments are NOT
AUTHORIZED.

velocity (AV) while the car is running at constant speed. Select Service Tool sequence (M-4-1-3-
1 GO-ON) and confirm that OVF-30 Drive variable “Car speed” is approximately equal to the
value displayed through the MCSS.
Note: The velocity for “Control Room Inspection” and “Top of Car Inspection” is configured through
separate software parameters in the MLB system. Refer to the MLB setup parameter list to
determine the default setting for CI velocity.
10. Confirm that the MLB III I/O board LED “PVT-C” indicates that pulses are being received from
the ANSI Speed Check Encoder when elevator motion commences on an inspection run. The
LED will either flash on or reduce intensity as the Encoder (PVT) C channel pulses are received.
11. Using the Controller Inspection Station, initiate an inspection run in a direction towards the
closest terminal landing. Verify that the car begins to move in the selected direction by
monitoring the “PVT UP” and “PVT DWN” LED’s on the DBSS Processor Board.

hold 125% of the duty load according to the elevator code requirements. Use extreme
caution when loading, unloading and working within the elevator cab during this test
procedure !
The elevator system is not designed to raise in excess of 100% of duty load, DO NOT
ATTEMPT to run the elevator on normal operation in the up direction with any load
exceeding 100% of duty load !
If the car is run on inspection with 125% load in the car, be aware that excessive roll-back
will occur if load weighing is not installed and adjusted.
Ensure that an effective communications means is available with the assistant required for
this test, prior to commencing the test procedure.
Ensure that the appropriate barriers are placed in front of the elevator entrance prior to
commencing this test procedure.
Follow all WWJSSS requirements and locally established procedures when using jumpers
on the controller.
Note: 1) The instructions on the following page must be read and understood before proceeding
with this test procedure.
2) The 125% load brake capacity is a minimum requirement of ANSI A17.1 code, refer to
section 2.24 of the ASME A17.1 – 2000 code.
3) The holding capacity of the Machine Brake and the Emergency Brake depends upon the
adjustment of the respective brake spring tension. The spring tension of the brake assembly
is adjusted in the factory, according to the specific elevator duty requirements. If the brake
static capacity does not meet the defined requirements, confirm that the correct brake
assembly is supplied according to the contract specifications and contact your
Superintendent for instructions before proceeding. There are NO AUTHORIZED FIELD
ADJUSTMENTS for the GeN2 ANSI/CSA brake.

SECTION 16
Earthquake Operation (Seismic Risk Zone 2 or Greater)
Refer to ASME A17.1-2000 & CSA B44-00 Section 8.4 for reference.
Implementation
The elevator will be provided with at least one seismic switch per building, which is wired to the
EQSC input of the Seismic Board, a counterweight displacement sensor in the hoistway, which is
wired to the EQCW input, and a sensor to determine if the car is above or below the counterweight,
which is wired to the EQMS input as shown in figure 16a. The interface to the controller is via the
Remote Serial Link (RSL) and is communicated to the RCB II through an RS5 module mounted on
the Seismic Board. The visual and audible signals in the cab are driven from an RS4/RS5 board in
the COP. These devices are also shown in figure 16a.
The activation of the EQSC input (seismic activity switch) will cause a car in motion to stop at the
next available floor and park with the doors open. The car will be shut down with the doors open
until the elevator is inspected and the reset button on the Seismic Board is pressed. If the car is on
Phase II operation when the seismic switch is activated, the car will remain on Phase II, subject to
the operating conditions outlined in section 5.3 of this document.
The activation of the EQCW input (counterweight displacement sensor) will cause a moving car to
execute an emergency stop. Once the car has stopped, the car will move away from the
counterweight at less than 750mm/sec (150 ft/min), stopping at the next landing. The EQMS input
is used to determine which direction to recover the car based on whether the car is above or below
the counterweight. Once the car has stopped at a landing, the doors will open subject to the
restrictions outlined in the previous paragraph. Once the car has been shut down, it will not be
allowed to return to service until the car and hoistway have been inspected and the reset button on
the Seismic Board has been pressed.

Figure 16a
Seismic Operation Circuits
The Otis counterweight detector (see figure 16b) uses a dual “ring and string” arrangement to
detect when the counterweight breaks free of the counterweight rails. This causes the rings
attached to the counterweight to contact the wires running the length of the hoistway (strings). This
shunts the current from the Seismic Board’s RS5 input and produces a logic-low signal. Upon
receipt of the signal, a car in motion will make a controlled emergency stop, then move at slow
speed in a direction away from the counterweight. When the car reaches the next door zone, the
car shall open its doors and shut down. The car will remain shut down, even in case of power
failures, until manually inspected and reset. The circuit is designed such that the failure of any
single wire or power supply will result such that a derailment is sensed and the system fails in a
safe state.

Page: 95 of 107
The dual “ring and string” arrangement is used because the Coated Steel Belts electrically insulate
the counterweight from the rest of the system and the second wire is used as the ground reference.
The two wires are shorted together by the dual ring arrangement when a displacement is detected.
NOTE: The Seismic board in the controller is not the same one provided on other traction
equipment because of the dual string arrangement. The new board number is AAA26800KS1.
Figure 16b
Counterweight Displacement Sensor
A seismic detector (not supplied by Otis), which produces a signal when seismic activity is taking
place shall be located in the elevator machine room and, where possible, shall be mounted
adjacent to a vertical load bearing building structural member. Upon receipt of the signal, a car in
motion will stop at the next committable floor, open its doors, and shut down. The car will remain
shut down, even in case of power failures, until manually inspected and reset.
The mid-shaft position, required to ensure that the car is moved in the direction away from the
counterweight at inspection speed if the counterweight sensor were to detect a guidance failure of
the counterweight, is sensed using the car position as computed by the MLB III. The MLB III control
system provides battery backup to a relative positioning to track and store position during a loss of
power. This system does not require the car to move to re-establish position after a loss of power.
When any seismic activity is monitored, an audible and visual signal must be generated in the car.

SECTION 17
Final Adjustments
This section presents a guide for completing the final motion adjustment procedures, confirming all
operational features of the elevator system and performing final system checks in preparation for
handover.
Note: 1) The elevator should be complete and capable of running under Normal operational
control at this time.
2) Default parameters in the OVF-30 Drive and Motion Logic Board (MLB III) have been
selected to provide the control and stability required to achieve specified ride quality
standards and performance time values. The following procedures present a guide to
confirm the system motion performance.
• If a jerk or bump is evident at the end of leveling or final stop phase, the following parameter
may be increased to ensure that car is electrically stopped (at zero velocity) before the brake
is applied.
Note: If vibration, jerk or poor leveling performance is evident despite confirmation of the
above settings, verify that the OVF-30 drive parameters are configured correctly
according to the type of machine installed for the contract.

B. Leveling Accuracy
1. Place 20% of duty load in the elevator.
2. Ensure that the car is empty then activate the “DDO” switch to allow operation with doors
closed.
3. Disable OCSS - MCSS communications by disconnecting J4 from RCB II board.
4. Using Service Tool sequence (M-2-1-2) run the car to several landings at the top, middle and
bottom of the hoistway in both directions. With the car stopped at each landing, access Service
Tool menu (M-2-1-9) and press GO ON to display the “lvlerr” field. The value displayed under
“lvlerr” is the difference between actual position and the learned floor table position for that
landing, displayed in millimeters. Ensure that the leveling error distance at all floors is no greater
than 3 mm.
5. Run the elevator to the landing closest to the controller.
6. Enable OCSS - MCSS communications by re-connecting J4 to RCB II board.
7. Using switches on the Service Panel Board, ensure that the car is on “CHC” mode and then
allow the doors to open.
8. Configure the service tool extension cable to allow service tool operation from the COP service
tool port.
9. Remove the equivalent weight of the person operating the car, to allow a total of 20% of duty
load in the elevator.
10. Run the car to each landing and check the actual level error at the car sill. Compare the actual
sill level error with the “lvlerr” error value displayed under Service Tool menu (M-2-1-9).
• If the actual level agrees with the learned position within 3 mm, then the car is stopping
where it should.
• If the actual level error is greater than 3 mm, establish a table of corrective measurements
and re-adjust the respective door zone vanes. Confirm that the changes have corrected all
leveling errors, then perform a new learn run as described under Section 11.
11. Remove all test weights from the car.

3. Verify that the load weighing value displayed in the “DB%” field is approximately - 47 depending
upon the final actual counterweight overbalance.
4. Run the car to the top landing. Using Service Tool menu (M-2-1-7), verify that the load weighing
system indicates the same value for “Ld%” as displayed at the bottom landing.
• If the difference in load readings between the bottom and top landings is greater than 3%,
the load weighing system adjustment should be confirmed.
Note: 1) The “DB%” value is affected by load weighing parameter settings used to mitigate the
starting performance effects on systems that are not equipped with chain compensation.
This value may change depending upon elevator position.
2) GeN2 “Extended Duty” systems have the traveling cable & compensating chain attached
to the platform. This results in different load cell readings as the car changes position up and
down the hoistway. The load weighing feature “Dynamic Offset” is used to compensate for
the position based load cell offset resulting from this arrangement.
Note: 1) Advance brake lift is only in effect when the car doors are operating, that is, there will be
no advance brake lift operation from a “standing stop” start.
2) Because the machine and sheaves are located in the hoistway, rollback is not directly
observable. However, the system now has the capability to sense rollback (but not roll-
forward) and display it on the Otis Service Tool.
1. Ensure that the car is empty then activate the “DDO” switch to allow operation with doors
closed.
2. Disable OCSS - MCSS communications by disconnecting J4 from RCB II board.
3. Using Service Tool sequence (M-2-1-2) run the car to several landings at the top and bottom of
the hoistway in both directions. After each run, observe the rollback at the start of the run on the
Service Tool according to following methods.

• Method 2: Enter: <up> (<shift>2) to display ROLBAK when in the monitor (M-2-1-2) menu.
Enter: <down> to return to the MCSS monitor menu.
ROLBAK +000 mm
LVLERR +00 mm
Note: The Service Tool “ROLBAK” feature will only display a value when the system exhibits a
rollback at the start of a run, not when the system rolls forward. Run the car in the direction
which rollback is evident while evaluating start of motion performance.
• If rollback is observed and the magnitude of the motion is relatively consistent throughout
the hoistway, the value of Drive parameter “Pretrq trim” may be adjusted to eliminate or
minimize the motion.
• If the car rolls in the down direction as the brake lifts, the Bias Torque is too high and the
value of “Pretrq trim” should be reduced.
• If the car rolls in the up direction as the brake lifts, the Bias Torque is too low and the
value of “Pretrq trim” should be increased.
• Adjust the value of “Pretrq trim” in increments of 0.05 until rollback or roll-forward is not
evident.
Note: 1) DO NOT adjust the value of “Pretrq trim” below 0.8 or above 1.2.
2) If the value of “Pretrq trim” required for correcting rollback or roll-forward falls
outside of the normal adjustment range, the following system checks must be made
to correct the cause of the problem.
• Confirm the counterweight overbalance.
• Confirm the configuration of MLB III parameters under menu M-2-3-4.
• Confirm the configuration of OVF-30 Drive parameters.
• If rollback is observed and the magnitude of the motion is different between the top and the
bottom of the hoistway, the source of the problem must be determined as follows, prior to
adjusting the value of Drive parameter “Pretrq trim”.
• Confirm that the load percent value (Ld%) is consistent between bottom and top
hoistway locations, as described earlier in this section.

• In case the above information does not indicate the source of the problem, confirm value
calculated for parameter “Hoist. Ropes %” with assistance from OtisROLE or your
Regional Field Engineer.
• In case rollback (roll-forward) is evident following correction of this issue, adjust the
value of “Pretrq trim” as described in Item 2., above.

D: Flight Time
Once the start of motion and leveling performance has been confirmed, the specified flight time
measurements can be performed. The following presents a guide to confirm flight time performance
and to make limited adjustments to achieve required targets.
1. Run the elevator to the landing closest to the controller. Ensure the car is empty, then using
switches on the Service Panel Board, place the car into “NOR” mode and prevent door
operation with the “DDO” switch.
2. Using Service Tool menu (M-1-1-1), run the elevator on single floor runs in the up and down
direction near the bottom and top of the hoistway. At the end of each run, using Service Tool
menu (M-2-1-9), monitor the distance traveled and the associated flight time for that run, as
indicated in the Service Tool screen below.
3. Ensure that the flight time indicated under timer “T2 s” complies with the specifications for the
contract.
• If the flight time is slightly higher than the required value, the following revised parameter
values may be used to decrease final leveling delay, thus reducing flight time. Evaluate final
leveling performance to ensure operation is acceptable with the revised settings.
Note: For the GeN2 system, standard flight time specification for a 12 foot floor height is:
5.7 seconds @ 1.02m/s - 200FPM.
5.2 seconds @ 1.78m/s - 350FPM
5.2 seconds @ 2.03m/s – 400FPM
5.2 seconds @ 2.28m/s – 450FPM

E: Ride Quality
When all system adjustments are complete, ride the elevator and evaluate the overall elevator
performance. Evaluate and perform required checks according to the following points.
• Note any squeaks, rattles, or any unusual hoistway noises and initiate means to
eliminate all noise sources.
• Observe door opening for quick, smooth and quiet operation.
• Confirm that door-closing torque is less than the maximum allowable of 30 ft.lb.
• Confirm that door closing is smooth and quiet and close speeds are not less than the
minimum times described in the applicable door operator adjustment article.
• Run car into terminal landings and listen for limit switch noises, comp chain noises and
other objectionable noises. Initiate means to eliminate all such noise sources.
• Run the car at contract speed from top to bottom of hoistway, ride perception should be
smooth and quiet without any bumps or vibrations. Note any rail alignment bumps or
roller guide noise and initiate means to eliminate such problems.
Note: Most hoistway noises can be corrected by minor adjustments of cab and platform isolation,
adjusting roller guides, cab steadying plates, hanging of traveling cables and comp chains.
F: Self-Commissioning – Inertia Adjustment Test
The Inertia Adjustment Test should be performed once the final car cab finishes are in place so that
the Inertia setting calculated by engineering matches the actual jobsite conditions. Correct inertia
setting will enable the car to run smoother and quieter in most cases. In order to do this, the Self
Commissioning Inertia Adjustment Test can be run using the following procedure.
• Turn the E2 write protect switch on the VA/VB processor board to the CHANGE position
• Use the Service Tool to access M-4-3-1-1 and hit the <go-on> key until the parameter
“Auto Tune 1/0” is displayed. Set the parameter to 1.
• Hit the <go-on> key to display the parameter “Max LR ampl PU”. Make sure that this
parameter is set to 0.2.
• When “WAIT” is no longer displayed on the drive processor board LEDs, hit the reset
button on the processor board to POR the drive. The LED display should now show
“0AA” or “0A0” to indicate that the drive is in auto-tune mode.

rigging, ensuring public safety (signs and barriers), working in close proximity of
unguarded rotating equipment (sheaves) and the wearing of appropriate PPE
(hand gloves, etc.). The mechanic(s) carrying out the process shall complete a
formal written JHA to familiarize themselves with the work environment and the
task at hand. Some hazards include hand cuts, sprains, and strains from lifting
and stretching, building and hoistway obstacles, low overheads, high overheads,
and other running elevators and counterweights in adjacent hoistways. If you are
unsure of the WWJSSS standards regarding the task at hand, immediately stop
work and consult your supervisor.

Evacuation Rules
NOTE: There are some basic rules that apply in all cases and must be followed with
any type of evacuation.
2. Before the passengers are removed from any exit, lock out, tag out, test, and
verify the main line switch. Close and lock the controller door with a
second personal lock (see Figure 1). Leave the car lighting energized.
NOTE: This rule applies even if there has been a power failure.
3. Do not open the doors unless someone is at the landing to assist the passengers
when they are exiting the elevator.

assistance? Inform the local EMS or the fire department for possible emergency
response. Are the lights on in the elevator car? Are the car doors open or
closed? What were the conditions leading up to the entrapment? How long have
passengers been trapped? Tell the passengers to not open the doors.
3. Ask the passengers to check that the car Stop Switch is in the RUN position.
Try pushing the Door Open button. Check car doors to make sure they are fully
closed.
4. Check position of car and status of doors. From a nearby landing, use
emergency door key to open the hoistway door (if possible). Verify the status of
the car doors (open or closed). Check and note approximately how far car is
above or below floor level.
5. Perform a quick diagnostic check from the machine room. Check the faults
with a service tool. Check main power. Check for open fuses. Check for
contact(s) not making. Check that the safety circuit (safety chain) is closed.
After determining the cause of the elevator shutdown, either replace the fuses,
correct faults, and reset the controller system to regain elevator operation or
remove these faults:
6. Connecting the gate switch monitor tool to the Gen2 when using MRO.
NOTE: Be sure power is removed from the controller before connecting the tool and
moving the car on MRO.

For the Gen2™ gate switch monitoring points, please hook up the gate monitor
tool (AAA21750B1) to the wires lifted from the following controller terminal points:
• On units with front gate switch only, remove field wires on C-022 and C-023
controller terminals and attach to monitor wires.
• Units with both front and rear gate switches will require the connector wires to
be put in series to monitor both at once. This is accomplished by removing
wires:
• Using an Otis approved jumper, tie the C-023 wire to the C-025 wire and then
attach the monitor wires to C-022 and C-024. That will allow both circuits to
be monitored at the same time.
After all passengers are removed and before the unit is either repaired or left shut
down for a repair team, please return the wires removed back to their proper
connections and remove the gate switch monitoring tool.
