Procedure to test the modification.
MR (Machine Room) lift: following the procedure to test the modification step by step
1. Take all safety measures and ensure that no one is inside or above the cabin,
2. All landing doors should be closed,
3. Switch the controller on Recall mode,
4. To create the fault code ECF make a short link between contact 11-14 on RM1 or RM2 relay
until fault code ECF appears on the screen and then remove it,
5. Manually open the brakes for short time by pressing the buttons BTS – BTB1 – BTB2,
6. If the buttons are pressed SCC* relay must activate,
7. Procedure is finished.
To return in normal operation power off and then power on the main supply in order to reset
the Inverter.
*SCC relay activation in case of manual Brake opening shows the good function and
modification is done correctly.
MRL (Machine Room less) lift: on the following procedure a technician must enter the shaft
following all safety measures in order to access into maintenance area above the elevator cabin.
The observance of the security measures also requires the appropriate training from the respective
body of each country and maintenance company will have sole liability of the procedure.
Following the instruction in MRL lifts,
1. Take all safety measures,

2. A qualified technician must enter above the cabin,
3. Drive the lift by inspection and stop near Inverter Panel,
4. Open the Inverter Panel Door,
5. Locate relays RM1 & RM2,
6. Connect 2 temporary separate piece of wires on relay contacts 11-14 (in one of those 2
relays not on both for the test) and secure that the other ends of the wires are insulated
and they don’t touch each other. Do not shortlink the wires when the technician is inside
the shaft.
7. Drive the 2 separate wires out of the shaft near to Inverter Hand Terminal on the Door
Frame Control Panel,
8. Close the Inverter Panel Door,
9. Drive the lift down and get out of the cabin,
10. Close the landing door,
11. Ensure that no one is on top of the cabin,
12. Switch the controller to Recall mode,
13. In order to create the fault code ECF use the 2 sides of the separate wires as a link between
them until fault code ECF appears on the screen of Inverter Hand terminal and then unlink
them,
14. Open manually the brakes for short time by pressing the buttons BTS – BTB1 – BTB2.
15. If the buttons are pressed SCC* relay must activate,
16. In order to understand if relay SCC is activated during pressing the buttons check the Genius
20 hand terminal for speed to be controlled and low using the real time measurement on
the screen while moving,
17. Procedure is finished.
18. Follow steps 1.2.3.4.5 to remove with safety 2 temporary connected wires,
19. Close the inverter panel door,
20. Return to floor and get out of the shaft,
21. Ensure that no one is into the shaft or above the cabin
To return in normal operation power off and then power on the main supply in order to reset
the Inverter.
*SCC relay activation in case of manual Brake opening shows the good function and
modification is done correctly.
**In case the instructions for changing the parameters are not followed step by step as described
in the instruction on the 1st page of this document, there is a risk of incident to a passenger who
will be evacuated in the case of evacuation or in the case of Maintenance staff who performs
specialized work above the cabin due to the sudden increase in speed and its lack of control
through the bridging circuit of motor windings.
***Failure to comply with this safety Notice can result in injury or fatality.
