9.1.1 When loading and unloading rope, rope external damage, impressing and distortion shall

be avoided. These defects will shorten rope life.

9.1.2 When conveying rope, rope external damage and distortion, caused by touching ground,

shall be avoided. These defects will shorten rope life.

9.1.3 Rope should be stored in dry and ventilated place on site. The ropes do not touch the rain,

acid, alkali or dust. These will shorten rope life

9.2 notice for untying the rope

9.2.1 roller

Fig. 9-1 is the correct untying way. Putt pipe into the roller center, and then fix the pipe. Roll the

roller and pull down the rope from the roller underside.

Pulling the rope from the upside or like the way in the Fig.9-1b are both incorrect. If pulling out

the rope from the upside, it will kink when the roller revolves fast. Furthermore, if roller in the

position like Fig.9-1b, the rope will be distort when pulling out it. Therefore rope will rupture at work,

thus rope life is shortened.

9.2.2 Fig.9-2a shows the correct untying way without roller. Mount the rope on the resolvable

shelf, and pull out the rope uprightly.

Fig.9-2b shows the wrong untying way. If pulling out the rope like Fig.9-2b, kink is likely to

happen. Then decrease the rope life. In the condition of no resolvable shelf, rope must be

untied like Fig.9-3. Retain the rope circle shape and pull the rope out continuously.

leveling. If impact bow touches limit switch to shut off sequential running loop of
the control system, the car is forced to stop. If the lift car overrun for
100~150mm in terminal landing, impact bow touch limit switch to shut off
sequential running loop of the control system. Car is forced to stop, and
ultimate limit switch keep working.

safety measures and overall function of lift. Adjust safety, riding comfort and reliability
of lift
14.1 Preparation before adjustment
After installing lift, well, landing entrance and the machine room shall be cleaned
up.
(1) The holes, through which rope and wire cross from machine room to well, and
other required holes are plastered with cement mortar. Construct a step around the
hole and step is 50 millimeter height. The space between the rope and inside
康力电梯股份有限公司 Canny Elevator Co., Ltd 52
Elevator installation instructions
surface of the hole, through which the rope passes, shall be 20~40 millimeter.
Protection safety measure is set for vent.
(2)Check traction machine, guide rail, hydraulic buffer and overspeed governor. Fill
oil in accord with regulation to ensure device is lubricated.
14.2 Check safety device.
(1) Protection device for phase loss and phase failure of power system must be
normal.
(2) Overspeed governor safety mechanism switch is normal. Overspeed governor
safety electric switch is normal. Broken rope contact or slack rope safety is normal.

(3) The runaway buffer system is normal.


(4) The safety device for surpassing top and bottom limit is normal.
(5) Landing door and car door electric interlocking device are normal.
(a) The landing door can’t be opened when lift is running. If a landing door is open,
lift can’t be started or continue running.
(b) Check the electric lock door safety of landing door. Check safety unlock and
self-closing device of landing door.
(c) A safety device is required to reopen the car door as soon as someone across
the door when the door is closing.
(6) Urgent operation device and stop safety device are normal. When power off or
electric system failing, car shall move slowly under control. Not self-reset stop
buttons shall be in the machine room, car roof and pit.
(7) Car top inspection device is normal, and ensure that car top is priority.
14.3 Check overall performance and reliability of lift.
Previous adjustment: After lift installing, lift can no load run when all safety device
are normal and all components are lubricated. At first, the car is slowly sliding through
the whole journey. When it reaches every floor, the lift stops for a moment to prevent
motor from being over heating. At the same time, Check to ensure the direction of car
guide rail is same as hall display. Then the lift runs at the maximum speed. Meanwhile
adjust lift performance, including acceleration, deceleration braking, smoothing
running, and leveling accuracy.
(1) Traveling speed adjustment
Set the power in rated frequency and voltage, lift descends to the middle of the
journey (except acceleration and deceleration stages) with 50% ratied load.
Record the current, voltage and rotate speed. The speed of car should not be

康力电梯股份有限公司 Canny Elevator Co., Ltd 53


Elevator installation instructions
more than 105% of rated speed, as well as no less than 92% of it.
(2) The maximums start acceleration and breaking deceleration should not be greater
than 1.5m/s2. When 1.0m/s<v<2.0m/s, the average acceleration and deceleration
should not be less than 0.48m/s2. When 2.0m/s<v<2.5m/s, the average acceleration
and deceleration should not be less than 0.65m/s2.
(3) When car is working, the horizontal and vertical vibration acceleration ( single
peaked value of vibration curve recorded in time domain)should not be greater than
25cm/s 2 and 15cm/s2 respectively.
(4) There should not be abnormal vibration or impact noise when lift and electrical
equipments are working. Noise value of lift should comply with: the average value of
machine room≤80dB(A), the maximum noise value in car is 55dB(A), the maximum
noise of opening or closing the door is 65dB(A). The maximum noise in passenger lift
car should not greater than 60 dB(A) when v=2.5m/s.
(5) Car leveling accuracy should satisfy the following regulation: it is±15mm for AC
two speed lift with speed below 0.63m/s. It is±30mm for AC two speed lift with speed v
as 0.63m/s≤v≤1.0m/s. It is ±15mm for all kinds of AC variable speed lifts and DC lifts
with speeds v≤2.5m/s,.
(6) Balance coefficient should be within 0.4 and 0.5. Testing method: in the working
condition of that the power voltage fluctuation is not greater than 2%, the car moves up
and down with no load, 25%, 40%, 50%, 75%, 100% and 110% of its’ rated load.
When the car is moving at the same level with the counterweight, write down the value
of the current, voltage and rotating speed. Decide balance coefficient: according to the
current-load curve, it is decided by the cross of the up towards and down towards
curves.
(7) Check traction capacity

(a) Elevator ascends with no-load in the top range area or descends with 125%
of the rated load in the bottom range area. Stop landing more than three times.
Car should be braked to stop (ignore leveling requirement when descending).
When descending at normal speed with 125% rated load, cut off motor power
and brake. Car shall be braked reliably.
(b) It shall not be possible to raise the empty car when the counterweight is
resting on the buffers.
(c) If load can not be limited within rated load by the area of car, the car shall be

Elevator installation instructions
maintained 10 minutes at floor level without slip when loaded to 150 % of rated
load.
(8) Reliability test

(a) Car operates within full journey at 40% power on time. At the same time, the
car is loaded with no-load, 50% of the rated load and rated load. Start and brake
elevator 120 times per hour. For the elevator operates no less than 8h/day, so
total starting and braking is 1000 times per day. Elevator should operate
smoothly, brake dependably, and continuously operate without failure. The
temperature of the brake shall raise no more than 60k. The temperature of oil in
traction machine shall raise no more than 60k, and it can’t be more than 85°c.
The temperature of electromotor shall raise no more than regulated value in
accord with GB12794. There shall not be oil leakage at worm gear reduce of
traction machine, except for worm axis end side. There oil leakage area shall
not be more than 150 cm2.
(b) Overloading test
Cut off over loading control circuit. Car operates within full journey at 40% power
on time with 110% of rated load. Start and brake elevator 30 times. Elevator
shall start, run and stop (ignoring leveling) reliably. Traction machine work
normally.
(c) When elevator operation, every operating function work normally. Every
operating button is accurately. Lift traveling direction is correct and display are
all right.
After testing, every landing shall be signed on traction rope and machine room
wall. Set permanence illuminating device in well and machine room, and make sure
there are bright enough. Check the alarm device in well, car, machine room and watch
room to ensure they are secure. Check device of Ventilation, fireproofing and guard
against theft.
