KL-UCMP Traction
Examination and Tests before putting into service
Safety gear – Overspeed Governor as stopping elements in traction lifts with geared machines
This document ‘KL-UCMP Traction – Examination and Tests before putting into service’ is intended to
be used in Kleemann traction geared lifts and concerns all the parties (inspectors, Notified Bodies,
technicians) involved in this procedure. The aim of the test is to check detection and stopping elements
of uncontrolled car movements with open doors.
Warning: trained personnel with expertise in electrical and electronic systems shall
perform all the tests.
Α) Upwards movement
In order to test the protection means against uncontrolled upward car movement, the car shall be
empty and all landing doors shall be closed.
The following steps shall be followed carefully with respect to all safety rules:
1. The test operation is carried out in the machine room.
3. Identify the Recall switch. Set the lift to recall drive mode by turning the switch from
NORMAL to MAN position.
4. Identify the flywheel (mark B on Figure 1) and the lever which releases the motor brake
(mark A on figure 1). On the flywheel identify the label that indicates the moving direction of
the car (mark C on figure 1).
5. Release the brake by turning the brake lever aside and turn the flywheel slightly in the
upwards direction.
6. The car is going to stop after a short movement because the overspeed governor triggers the
safety gear, which will be engaged.
7. To release the safety gear, use the Recall mode or manual releasing (brake-flywheel) to drive
the car downwards.
8. Restore the lift's normal operation by turning the recall switch from MAN to NORMAL
position. The lift is ready for operation.

Β) Downwards movement
In order to test the protection means against uncontrolled downward car movement, the car shall be
loaded with the rated load and all landing doors shall be closed.
The following steps shall be followed carefully with respect to all safety rules:
1. The test operation is carried out in the machine room
3. Identify the recall drive switch. Set the lift to recall drive mode by turning the switch from
NORMAL to MAN position.
4. Identify the flywheel (mark B on Figure 1) and the lever which releases the motor brake
(mark A on figure 1). On the flywheel identify the label that indicates the moving direction of
the car (mark C on figure 1).
5. Release the brake by turning the brake lever aside and turn the flywheel slightly in the
downwards direction.
6. The car is going to stop after a short movement because the overspeed governor triggers the
safety gear, which will be engaged.
7. To release the safety gear, use the recall drive or manual releasing (brake-flywheel) to drive
the car upwards.
8. Restore the lift's normal operation by turning the recall switch from MAN to NORMAL
position. The lift is ready for operation.

Field test
Self-monitoring check
The self-monitoring is carried out through a limit switch that checks the actual state of the overspeed
governor. This limit switch is connected in series to the main contactors monitoring contacts.
In order to check the self-monitoring, follow the steps below:
1. Have the lift parked in a landing.
3. The controller will issue an error message "Error_016 Contactor control drop" and the lift
must not be able to move anymore, otherwise the monitor is faulty.
4. The error can be reset by entering code 800 and pressing OK in the Genius 20 hand terminal
CMD menu.
ATTENTION! After the completion of the field test, make sure that all the connections are restored.
