3.2 ON-BOARD CALL REGISTRATION FUNCTION

The operator can give calls using the push buttons to test the lift. Go to the “Simulate Calls” page. Lift has to
be in normal operation. Press SELECT, the display will show” Floor 0“. Use the PREV and NEXT push buttons to
change the floor selection. Once the desired floor is displayed, press SELECT push button. “Car “will
appear to choose a carcall, or landcallup, or landcalldn type of the desired floor. The call for this floor is regis-
tered and the appropriate led will light on the board as well as in the car or hall. The lift will proceed to serve
this call. To exit the call registration mode, go to “Floor 0” and press the PREV push button or go to last floor
and press NEXT. The board will also exit the call registration mode if no buttons are pressed for 25secs.

3.3 ON-BOARD INSPECTION OPERATION

When in inspection mode, Go to the “INSPECT. OPERAT.” Press SELECT, the display will show” Sim Insp “. Page.
NEXT and PREV push button act as INSP_DN and INSP_UP inputs respectively. To exit the simulate inspection
mode press SELECT.

FAULTS CODE DESCRIPTION

4. VIEWING ERRORS AND ERROR CODE DESCRIPTION

4.1 HOW TO VIEW THE ERRORS
Pressing the SELECT push button while on View ERR page will prompt the board to start displaying the last
9 faults saved in memory. The board begins by displaying the last fault followed by the floor number where
the fault occurred. Press PREV or NEXT push buttons to display the previous or next fault.
Faults detected by the board are divided into three kinds:
1. Level I faults: faults that block the elevator when they occur. But the elevator can resume operation right
after the fault disappears.
2. Level II faults: faults that can be tolerated for a few occurrences before the elevator is blocked by the
board.
3. Level III faults: faults that the board considers to be fatal and will consequently block any further opera-
tion of the elevator.

4.2 HOW TO ERASE THE ERRORS

To erase the faults from memory, go to Erase ER page and press SELECT push button. You will be prompted
to confirm your request. If Yes (PREV) is pressed all faults are erased, if No (NEXT) is pressed, faults are not
affected.
