1. General
The Alimak SE lifts are personnel and goods lifts in several sizes
designed specifically to operate in cramped or confined industrial
areas.
To maximize use on such sites and provide flexibility for
installation, the car doors can be positioned on any of the three
sides away from the mast.
The lift can be bolted directly to any existing concrete or steel
floor with a pit enclosure provided, complete with access stairway,
if required.
Most components are anodized extruded aluminium profiles or
hot-dip galvanized steel in order to withstand the rigours of
industrial environments. If further protection is called for, Alimak
Hek also offers surface treatments such as epoxy or poly-urethane
coatings.
See leaflet No. 1157 for detailed information re. surface
treatment.
The Alimak SE lifts are particularly suitable outdoors for
attachment to steel structures, container cranes, etc. Installation
drawings, tie forces and vertical loads can all be rapidly provided
by the company’s CAD system.
During installation of the lift, the personnel responsible for the
lift’s operation shall be properly trained. These personnel shall be
trained to rescue in emergency situations and as evidence of this,
they shall be given and sign for, the key to perform these activities.
The lift and its mechanical and electrical components are designed
and dimensioned to conform to operating conditions on industrial
applications and fulfil demands according to ANSI/ASME A17.1-
2007, EN 81-20/-50 and EN 81-43 in applicable parts.
IMPORTANT!
When a lift is installed where unauthorized and/or unsupervised
persons, may try to use the lift, the lift must be locked out of Fig A1
service.
This lift is not intended to be loaded with forklift1 or similar

equipment, which could cause overloading of the lift car.

The standard SE lift is not intended for use in hazardous locations1.
1 Special lifts intended for such purposes can be supplied.
1.1 Weather conditions – installation outdoors

Lifts must not be erected or dismantled in wind speeds exceeding
15 m/s (33 mph) or as governed by local regulations where more
stringent.
Lifts installed outdoors must not be used when wind velocities
exceed 20 m/sec (40 mph) or velocities specified for the
installation.
A4 ALIMAK SE Lifts
In those conditions, the lift must be parked in the base enclosure.

The plant owner is responsible for informing when wind velocities
installation.
ALIMAK SE Lifts

2. Landing enclosure
According to the regulations, a safety space (pit) is required
available below the bottom landing. This pit contains the bottom
car buffers.
The pit can either be constructed of extruded aluminium panels
and located above ground, or made of concrete and located below
ground (by customer).
The depth of the pit is 1100 mm or 1200 mm depending on local
regulations.
A landing enclosure can be provided with one or two landing
doors, which are mechanically and electrically interlocked. The
mechanical interlock makes it impossible to open the landing door
unless the car is at that landing. The approved interlocking system
prevents the car from moving unless the door is closed and locked.
The door is a double leaf swing door type.
Single leaf horizontal swing doors are also available.

3. Lift tower and base frame

The lift tower is assembled from 1508 mm long sections of four
different types.
Tube guide rail type A is made from two 76 mm dia. × 4.2 mm
wall thickness tubes. The sections are bolted together with two 1 in
UNC 8.8 galvanized bolts and lock nuts.
Guide rail type A must be tied at approx. 1.5 m intervals.
Fig A6
A. Tube guide rail type A
B. Rectangular tube mast section type FE
C. Square tube mast section type A50
Note:
Tube guide rail type A or type A mini must never be used with SE-Ex
lifts
The rack has module 5 teeth and is fabricated from 40 × 40 mm

material.
The mast tube ends and the fixing points for the rack are all
machined after galvanizing and before assembly.

The bottom section is bolted to a base plate, which incorporates a
frame with 3 buffer positions. According to the size of the lift
either one, two or three buffers are used.
For applications involving long tie distances or overhang it is
possible to use a heavier mast section such as rectangular or square
tube mast section type FE or A50.
ALIMAK SE Lifts

3.1 Ties for tube guide rail type A

Standard type A - for lifting heights up to 50 meters
The tie consists of a plate at each guide rail joint bolted to the end
frame. The plate has slotted holes to allow for a distance between
the face of the supporting structure and the centre of the tubes of
190 – 240 mm.
The tie plate can be fixed either to the top frame of one guide rail
or to the bottom frame of the next section below, allowing a tie
incremental change of 210 mm.
A channel can be attached above or below the tie plate, giving a
further increment of ± 30 mm on the tie plate.
The channel is fixed to the structure with either M16 expansion or
cast in place bolts for concrete structures or bolts/nuts for steel
structures.
Note:
For a Alimak SE 300 DOL-operated lift with floor area not exceeding
780 × 1040 mm (width × depth) tie distances can be increased to 3 Fig A7
m (every second guide rail section) during normal conditions, provided
that prescribed mast bolt tightening torque/prestress is regularly
checked. Please contact Alimak Hek Representative for further
information.
Type A mini guide rail – for lifting heights up to 250

meters
The type A mini guide rail has brackets, with slotted holes, welded
to the guide rail tubes in the upper end.
Spacers on the attachment bolts allow the guide rail to expand and
contract with variations in temperature.
Fig A8
All tie parts are hot dip galvanized.

4. Lift car
The car is attached to a main frame which is guided on the mast by
guide rollers. The guide rollers are available in nodular iron, and
for lifts with a maximum capacity of 1200 kg, steel coated with
polyurethane. To prevent the car from climbing off the mast, safety
brackets are placed beneath the lowest drive pinion of the
machinery.
The car is constructed of extruded aluminium panels bolted to
floor and roof to form a complete unit. The roof and floor are
constructed of durable, aluminium plate with a non-skid surface.
The car can be equipped with either one or two manually operated
horizontal bi-folding door(s) or ”wrap around” sliding door(s). The
car doors are locked by car door actuators. The actuator operates
on both car and landing doors, when the car has stopped at landing.
Sliding doors can be furnished for all car sizes and are available in
four widths.
Fig A13
The bi-fold car door is only available in a width of 660 mm.
The car roof which is provided with a safety railing serves as a
working platform during erection and as a maintenance inspection
platform. There is also a trapdoor in the roof and a ladder in the
car to allow access to the roof.
The roof trapdoor is also the emergency exit.
To achieve rider comfort, the lift is equipped with vibration
absorbing rubber pads between the car and the main frame.
4.1 Model designation

Alimak SE 300, SE 400, etc, are model names, each describing
rated load in kilograms for a particular car size (based on number
of passengers allowed in the car and/or floor area according to
regulation EN 81, ASME 17.1 and EN 81-43).
Motors and gear ratios can be combined in various ways to suit Fig A14 ”Wrap around’’ sliding door
required power and nominal speed.
A10 ALIMAK SE Lifts
5. Lift machinery
The drive unit consists of either one or two squirrel cage motor(s)
with built-in electromagnetic disc brake and a helical gear box
which has a pinion attached to the output shaft. The pinion is in
constant engagement with the rack and drives the car up or down
the mast dependent on the rotation of the motor(s).
The drive unit is located on the top of the car and is available in
various sizes dependent upon speed and load capacity.
A direct start system is used for speeds 0.40, 0.59 or 0.63 m/s at 50
Hz. VFC systems are available for speeds 0.40, 0.60, 0.80 or
maximum operating speed 1.0 m/s.
In the event of a power failure the lift can be lowered to the next
landing using a centrifugal brake system which allows the lift to
lower by gravity at a controlled speed less than the tripping speed Fig A15
of the speed governor / safety device. A. Gear box with counter rollers

6. Electrical equipment
The electrical equipment can be of several different types
depending on local requirements and regulations. The equipment
is designed to accept operating conditions such as weather
conditions and undesirable environments.
The components have been thoroughly tested and conform to one
or several of the following international/national standards: IEC,
CEE, EN, DIN, UL, CSA and SS.
In order to meet the requirements of the customer and conform to
the applicable lift regulations and codes, the electrical equipment
is designed specific for each order.
ALIMAK SE Lifts
A11
Required documents, such as wiring diagrams, circuit diagrams

and component lists are included with the delivery.
7. FC vs DOL motor control

Frequency controlled electric motors give:
• better (softer) riding comfort at start and stop.
• better levelling accuracy.
• less brake wear.
• lift speed can be reduced during installation and inspection
procedures, which is not possible with direct on line (DOL)
started electric motors.
8. Hybrid cable
A special trailing cable is used which permits power and control
conductors to be contained within one outer sheath.
9. Cable guiding system

Cable guiding is accomplished by either having a free-hanging
cable where the liftway is enclosed or with a cable trolley and
cable guides in an open liftway or where there is concern for cable
hang-up.
9.1 Free-hanging cable

The trailing cable hangs from half height junction box in the
liftway, fed by a fixed cable, or conductors running in conduits.

10. Standard control systems

10.1 Microprocessor operated control system
The ALC II system is a selective collective control system based
on state of the art microprocessor technology. The ALC II system
is modular built and can be extended to handle sixteen (16) floors.
A reference point is established by means of a cam attached to the
mast and located above the bottom landing level. A limit switch
picks up the reference point when travelling in the initial set-up
mode.
The car position is determined by counting pulses generated by a
pulse encoder attached to the gearbox.
The ALC II system picks up all destination orders from inside the
car and the outside calls from the landings. This information is
memorized and processed within the system. During travel the lift
will automatically respond to all calls in a sequential and
systematic manner.
Fig A20
The car push button station has one illuminated button for each
landing served and a display showing the actual landing number.
The landing stations are provided with two illuminated call buttons,
one for each travel direction. As an option the landing stations can
be provided with a car position indication display.
For more detailed information regarding the ALC II system and
corresponding landing equipment, refer to separate manual P/N
9119208-sub.
Note:
Floor displays, push buttons and switches used for lifts installed in Fig A21
hazardous environments where there is a risk of fire and/or explosion
are all from well-known, certified and approved makes. Therefore the
exterior is generally slightly different from those shown in this manual.
However, the function remains the same.
See additional specifications regarding explosion proof electric

material described in separate leaflet.
See Appendix 1.
A14 ALIMAK SE Lifts
10.2 Relay operated control system

Single automatic control system for 2-3 landings
The lift is provided with a single automatic control system
designed to handle two or three landings. The car push button
station has one illuminated button for each landing.
The landing stations are provided with one illuminated call button
and an indication lamp ”Occupied”. The single automatic control
system will carry out one order at the time, i.e. it picks up the first
order and ignores all other calls until the first one is completed.
The single automatic control system is a simple call system
suitable for low traffic applications. The system is based on well-
proven electromechanical relay technique and offers easy handling
for service and maintenance.
Semi-automatic control system for more than 3

landings
The lift is provided with a semi-automatic control system designed
to handle three or more landings in low traffic applications. The Fig A22
lift is operated both from inside the car and from the landings by
means of push buttons Up / Down / Stop Next Landing. By
pressing the Up or the Down button, the car starts in the chosen
direction.
When the car is approaching the desired landing, the button ”Stop
Next Landing” is pressed. The car will then automatically stop at
the landing.
Fig A24
A. Stop Next Landing
B. Down Fig A23
C. Up
The semi-automatic control system requires an open liftway so the

location of the car can be visually observed from the landings (in
case of a closed liftway it is not possible to determine where the
car is located and whether to press the Up- or Down-button when
calling the lift from a landing).
This control system is a simple control system based on well-
proven electromechanical relay technique. It offers easy handling
for service and maintenance and can easily be extended to the
required number of landings.
ALIMAK SE Lifts
A15
10.3 Lift controls

All normal lift functions are actuated by single floor designation
push-buttons, when the desired landing push button is pressed it
will illuminate to signify call acceptance. When the lift reaches the
desired floor, the illumination on the button will be extinguished
and the car landing doors will automatically unlock.
Additionally the car contains a push button station to operate the
alarm buzzer. An emergency telephone located inside the lift car is
optional equipment. This system can be connected via a volt free
relay to another alarm system, if required. The telephone system is
connected to a stand alone telephone line at the base panel area at
the ground floor.
Fig A25
Fig A27
10.4 Optional Return to Ground Facility

Within the lift control circuit is a system called ”Auto return”. This
facility is used to automatically call the lift back to preset level if it
has not been used for a preset period of time (maximum 7 minutes).
For example from top to bottom location where windy
environments occur.
Fig A26
10.5 Optional key switch inside car

A16 ALIMAK SE Lifts
10.6 Emergency Base Panel

An emergency base panel is also provided adjacent to the electrical
base panel. This panel contains a telephone handset to enable
voice communication to any trapped passenger in the lift car and
actuators for operating the lift car from ground level.
10.7 Emergency light in car

A battery back-up that will maintain the car interior light in case of
power failure.
The emergency light can last up to 4 hours.
10.8 Service control

Control of the lift car can be transferred, for maintenance/ Fig A29
inspection purposes, to a control station located on the car roof.
When operated all other call stations are disconnected in this mode.
10.9 Optional Auto alarm

If a door is left open, or the safety circuit or the control power
circuit is interrupted a buzzer will be activated after a 25 second
delay and sounds until the doors are closed or other interruption is
reset.
Fig A30

11. Safety equipment

11.1 Automatic stop at top and bottom landings
At the top and bottom landings, limit cams are mounted on the
mast. These cams activate the limit switches on the car which
automatically stop the car. A final limit switch with separate cam
on the mast at top and bottom landings cuts the power supply and
stops the car should the normal limit switch not function.
11.2 Safety brackets

To prevent the car from climbing off the mast, the safety brackets
are placed beneath the lowest drive pinion of the machinery.
11.3 Safety details on the machinery plate

Integrated safety hooks as part of machinery plate prevents the
pinion from disengaging in case of a guide roller failure.
Fig A31
A. Safety brackets on each side beneath the
lowest drive pinion of the machinery
Fig A32
A. Safety hooks
11.4 Buffers
Buffer springs are located below the bottom landing level, close to
the lift mast. These buffers are designed to stop a car at governor
tripping speed with rated load, travelling beyond its normal limit.
11.5 Phase failure relay

The electrical equipment is protected by a phase failure and phase
reversal relay ensuring that the correct phase sequence is always
connected to the motor(s).
Fig A33
A18 ALIMAK SE Lifts
11.6 Emergency lowering device

One unique Alimak lift feature is the emergency lowering device.
Should a power failure take place, this allows passengers in the car
to lower the car under reduced and controlled speed to the next
lower landing. With other types of lifts, passengers must call for
help, remaining in the stopped car until help arrives. The system
only works when, due to a power failure, the car is stopped in-
between landings. It is not possible to lower the car when car is
already standing at a landing. The emergency lowering device
(centrifugal brake) is activated by pulling the grip inside the car,
causing the car to start lowering Resetting cams on each landing
will automatically cause the manual lowering grip to reset and stop
the car at the next lower landing, with the brake/brakes activated.

Exception to regular installation

In certain installations it may be desirable to emergency lower
from a landing and/or passing intermediate landings, to a
designated emergency exit landing or to a bottom landing. One
example is if there is a risk of toxic gas built-up in the liftway.
Another example is for a tall chimney with ladders available next
to lift, where it may be determined that it is safer to stay in the car
and emergency lower than climbing down the ladders. Lowering
from a landing and/or passing intermediate landings can be
accomplished by removing the resetting cams on the landings.
DANGER!
Removing the resetting cams from the landings is not
Alimak Hek’s responsability and only permitted after a risk
assessment is performed and documented by the end user.
Approval by local authorities may also be required.
The consequence, if emergency lowering from a landing, is

that the car door actuator will not return to its ”lock”-
position. Regardless of this, the closed car door will be
locked by the spring force of the interlock.
If the landing door is closed, the spring action of the
interlock will lock the landing door when the car leaves the
landing.
If the landing door is left open (which should never take

place), the landing door will remain unlocked and open
when the car leaves the landing and there is a risk of falling
down into the liftway.
This possible risk must be communicated by means of a
Danger Sign with proper text located in the car.
IMPORTANT!
Emergency lowering through intermediate landings with the door
actuator in its extended position requires that all landing door units
must be installed correctly and within the stated tolerances. If not,
door interlocking and fixed equipment at the landings will be
damaged.
See section 11.7 Door interlocks on car and landing doors.
A20 ALIMAK SE Lifts
Centrifugal brake
When lowering by gravity in case of a power failure, a centrifugal
brake incorporated into the drive machinery will maintain a
constant speed preventing the car from reaching governor tripping
speed, and thereby activating the safety device.
Fig A36

ALIMAK SE Lifts
A21
IMPORTANT!
The centrifugal brake transfers the lift’s potential energy to heat to
control the speed when the lift is travelling down by gravity.
Depending on the car’s maximum weight, the centrifugal brake can
manage 11 – 50 m sliding distance, without exceeding the
maximum allowed temperature limit.
Distance between landings is required to be maximum 11.0 m
according to Safety Code EN 81–20.
For installations with landing distance exceeding 11.0 m between
landings, additional emergency landings should be added in
between ordinary landings
In certain installations it may not be possible to incorporate
additional emergency landings.
Installations with more than 11.0 m between landings is not Alimak
Hek’s responsability and only permitted after a risk assessment is
performed and documented by the end user. Approval by local
authorities may also be required.
In cases where the additional emergency landings are not provided,

the lift can be lowered at intervals, stopping the lift between
intervals to allow sufficient cooling – approx. 30 minutes at
ambient temperature +20 °C.
A22 ALIMAK SE Lifts
11.7 Door interlocks on car and landing doors

The car and landing doors are interlocked to prevent the lift from
operating unless the doors are closed and locked.
The door cannot be opened unless the car has stopped at a landing.

Function
The car door lock actuator starts to open the landing door when the
lift has stopped at the landing.
The landing door interlock cam transfers the actuator movement to
the car door locking rod and both car and landing door can be
opened.
If there is no landing door (and interlock cam) where the car has
stopped, the car door cannot be opened.

A. This pressure spring will mechanically lock the car door when car leaves the landing, regardless of the actuator. (Accumulated
spring force when car door is opened.)
B. This pressure spring will mechanically lock the landing door when the car leaves the landing. If the door is properly closed the
door will automatically be locked. If the door is left open the spring and pull rod cannot lock the door.
C. The landing door cam must be in between the car door interlock rollers to open the car door. If not the car door cannot be
opened.

11.8 Safety device

The lift has an overspeed safety device which progressively stops
the car on the mast should normal driving speed be exceeded by a
preset amount.
The safety device has a shaft with a centrifugal weight and a
pinion constantly engaged with the rack on the lift mast. When the
centrifugal weight actuates, the brake cone is screwed in against a
brake lining inside the safety housing. The lift is brought to a
smooth stop and simultaneously the power to the drive motors is
cut off. Fig A42
Safety Device type GF for cars with payload
A counter roller attached to the safety device mounting plate, 2000 kg and less
ensures correct meshing of the pinion at all times. A. Integrated counter roller
A safety hook provides additional safety in case of failure of the

counter roller.

11.9 Optional Overload Sensing Device

Overload sensing device with inductive proximity
switch
This equipment measures the load inside the car using an inductive
proximity switch, which registers any movement of the car relative
to the machinery, thus preventing an overloaded lift from moving.

Overload sensing device

The lift can be equipped with an overload sensing device. The
system indicates when the car is fully loaded and prevents
operation in an overload condition.
Lift load capacity dictates the use of load cells according to the
following:
Standard SE lifts with load capacity 2000 kg or more.
SE-Ex lifts with load capacity 1200 kg or more.
Load cells are built into the pull rods connecting the machinery to
the car structure. Fig A46 Gear box rear side
A. Pull rod
B. Load cell
Fig A47 Indication light “Overload” in car
Fig A48 Signals from the load cells are transferred to the OSD 5 amplifier located
in M-panel
When the rated load is exceeded the control circuit will be

switched off to prevent the use of the hoist. At the same time a red
LED lights.
Fault code F4 will be displayed where ALC II floor call selecting
device occurs.
For more detailed information regarding the OSD 5 system, refer
to separate manual P/N 9081804–sub.

12. Final commissioning test and verification

The equipment is fully checked according to the directives stated
before delivery, to confirm operation and safety.
Safety devices are dynamically tested to trip with rated load within
overspeed situation.
Single motor machineries are dynamically tested with rated load
and additional 25% overload.
Dual or triple motor machineries are dynamically tested with rated
load during operation with rated speed in downwards direction
with one motor brake disengaged. Speed must be reduced when
the motor brakes are applied. All brakes are tested individually.
Motor brakes as well as device for detecting overload are statically
tested with rated load and additional 25% overload.

13. Special purpose lifts

13.1 Alimak SE-Ex in explosive environments
SE lifts with the prefix ”Ex” before the lift’s designation for load
capacity are intended for use in hazardous environments where
there is a risk of fire and/or explosion.
In mechanical terms, these lifts are built using the same standard
components as regular SE lifts.
Electrical distribution boxes, motors and motor brakes, rotary
devices for door control, cable inlets and fittings and control units
have been chosen from approved, certified equipment from well-
known manufacturers.
Alimak SE-Ex can be supplied with single or dual motor operation
with 11 or 15 kW motors for a lifting capacity of up to 1600 kg.
Lift speed 0.52 or 0.59 m/s at 50Hz.
Car widths are available in the following intervals: 910, 1040,
1300 and 1560 mm.
Car lengths ranging from a minimum of 1300 mm up to a
maximum of 2990 mm can be built with 130 mm intervals.
Preferably, a bi-folding door should be used for small cars, with
“wrap-around” manual sliding doors for wider cars.
Fig A49
Fig A50 “Wrap-around” manual sliding door

Rotary devices of an approved and certified design are used for

lift door control instead of ordinary actuators
Switches and cable fittings have been replaced by similar items
from approved and certified ranges.

The SE lift’s standard safety devices have been modified through

the use of improved surface treatment and brass components at
strategic places to prevent the risk of possible sparking.

1. General
Consult with an Alimak Hek representative prior to any
construction or alteration.
2. Base plate of steel

A base plate of steel is used when the lift is installed above ground
level, for example on container cranes. The steel construction of
the crane must be able to withstand the calculated forces of the lift.
IMPORTANT!
The foundation area must be enclosed so as to prevent persons
from entering this area.
Fig G1
3. Ground level foundation slab

Normally, lifts are placed on level and horizontal concrete slabs.
The foundation must be able to:
• Withstand the calculated forces of the lift
• Be level and horizontal
• Be designed for frost heave where applicable
The base frame of the lift can be fastened to the concrete slab with
expansion bolts.
When required a foundation frame is available as an option.
It is important that the top of the foundation frame be level with
the concrete surface and that the concrete is vibrated thoroughly –
especially around the foundation frame.
The concrete must reach 70% of the required 28 days compressive

strength before the installation of the lift commences.
G4 ALIMAK SE Lifts
Fig G2
IMPORTANT!
It is recommended to make the concrete slab and surrounding
surfaces at the same level – if staircase is to be installed. Actual
dimensions: See section 3.1 Concrete slab dimensions.

Slab thickness and reinforcing are minimum recommendations.

3.4 Attachment of enclosure

For the attachment of the enclosure, we recommend the use of
expansion bolts.

Use expansion bolts and consoles P/N 9097459-102 for

installation of the ground enclosure inside the concrete pit.
Minimum 2 pcs/wall.
ALIMAK SE Lifts

4. Foundation pit
4.1 Pit dimensions
Construct a concrete slab with additional vertical reinforcement for
the pit walls. (Identical to the one for a concrete slab level with the
ground). When the base slab has cured add the horizontal
reinforcement, followed by formwork and completion of the walls
of the foundation pit according to the specification.
Note:
In cases with a three-wall enclosure where a fourth wall is to be added,
the measurements of the foundation (W4) must be increased by the Fig G7
wall thickness 175 mm. (See broken line in Fig. 8 ).
Measurements L4 and W4, see the dimensions of the concrete slab.

Pit wall thickness and reinforcing are minimum recommendations.
Site conditions will govern.

1. Selection of type guide rail or mast

section
Decisive of the selection of guide rail or mast section type is
loading capacity of the lift (car size), speed, lifting height, tie
distance, overhang, wind forces at outdoor installation and
available space for the lift installation.
On the following pages permitted max tie distances, overhang and
force of reaction for each type of mast are shown.
Fig H1
Fig H2
H4 ALIMAK SE Lifts
2. Allowable tie distances during

installation
The mast base plate is dimensioned for vertical load ONLY!
If erection is to be performed from the car top, an initial tie must
be installed at elevation 4.5 m relative to the base plate to prevent
overturning of the installation. This tie does not need to be
installed permanent and can be removed when the subsequent ties
have been installed.
In case where the tie distances are greather than the allowed free
top (overhang), temporary ties are required so as not to exceed the
allowed free top.
In operation, specified free tops can, from a general point of view,
be extended by 25% if the load in the car is reduced to one half
(50%) and the prevailing wind speeds do not exceed 12.5 m/s.

6.6 Attachment of ties

The ties are attached to the building by bolts, washers and nuts
into the holes which are drilled at the installation or embedment
sets or other approved suitable wall bracket attachments.
Cast in place inserts must be installed prior to the hoist installation
in order for the concrete to cure properly and reach its proper
strength. Concrete must be of suitable strength for calculated loads
(See Reaction forces).
Care must be taken in locating the inserts at their proper location
(See type of mast tie).
If other type of bolt is used such as epoxy cast in bolt or expansion
bolt, it is important to choose an approved type which can take the
calculated force in this application with a satisfactory safety factor.
Specifications for this type of attachment should follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations and be approved by the
governing authority for their use.

1. General
To install your rack and pinion lift as efficiently and safely as
possible and at lowest cost, it is important that the following
preparations be made before the installation supervisor is called
and the installation is started.
2. Permission
Make sure that the chosen site of erection meets the requirements
set out by local authorities for safety and inspection and that their
permission, if necessary, to install the lift has been obtained.
3. Erection place
Prepare the installation site so that electric power, light, lifting
equipment and tools are available and there is adequate access for
the lift transporter – beware of overhead obstructions.
Fig I1
If possible, prepare for the installation of ties and landing
accessories such as supports, platforms and safety railing. Suitable
places for attaching the ties are vaults, balconies or other concrete
or steel structures. See applicable Installation drawing. Remember
that these structures must be strong enough to absorb the reaction
forces of the ties and landing door assemblies.
All mast sections should be stored on dry firm ground and as close
to the erection site as possible.
4. Foundation
Prepare the foundation with parts required for attaching the base
frame of the mast. See chapter ”Foundation” in the manual
Technical Description.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure before pouring the foundation that the measurement
between the foundation frame and the face of the liftway
corresponds to the ties to be used.
Fig I2
I4 ALIMAK SE Lifts
4.1 Drop from foundation

Lifts for cranes can be installed without panels in pit or foundation.
This causes a risk if service personnel performs an emergency
opening of the car door to jump down into the pit.
WARNING!
Falling hazard.
Always use a fall arresting device during inspection on

foundation.
Can cause severe injury or death.
The site must be made secure from falling objects by barricading

or roping off the area.
Inspection must be carried out by trained/authorized service
personnel.
5. Delivery inspection
Check the delivery against packing lists and look for transportation
damage.
Fig I3
Should there be any damage, report the same to the responsible
transportation insurance company within 7 days from the date of
arrival of the goods.
Other claims should be made to Alimak Hek representative
within the same period.
6. Arrangement of power supply

Direct On Line (DOL) starting of electric motors results in a very
high starting current. The current must overcome the resistance in
the cables which results in a voltage drop. This voltage drop
occurs not only in the trailing cables, but also in the power supply
cable installed between the jobsite distribution board and the
Fig I4
electric panel ”B” at the base. The total voltage drop is the sum of
Transportation damage?
the voltage drop in all the cables. The consequence of the voltage Shortages?
drop is a substantial reduction in the output torque of the motor.

In order to avoid starting problems it is of the utmost importance
that the main power supply is adequately sized with respect to the
starting current and the voltage drop. The following data should be
noted:
• During starting conditions, in the upward direction with rated
load, the voltage drop must not exceed 15% of the rated voltage
when measured at the motor terminals. In the base panel, the
voltage drop of the incoming power supply terminals must not
exceed 3% of the rated voltage during the starting conditions.
• Once the rated speed is established during upward travel with
Fig I5
rated load, the voltage drop must not exceed 5% of the rated
voltage when measured at the motor terminals. In the base
ALIMAK SE Lifts
I5
panel, the incoming power supply voltage should, in practice,

not drop at all, i.e. not exceed 1 – 2 % drop.
• Except for the above mentioned supply voltage levels during
start and running conditions, the quality of the main power
supply to the lift/hoist must be in accordance with the
requirements of EN 50160:1999.
7. Client’s power supply

7.1 Supply cables to hoists and lifts with DOL
The 3-phase power supply cable from the jobsite distribution
board to the ”B” panel at the base can be calculated from the
formulas below. The formulas are applicable for the most common
types of lifts and lifts having 1, 2 or 3 motor drive machinery with
DOL-starting at 400V, 50Hz and 460V, 60Hz.
The 3-phase power supply cable from the jobsite distribution
board to the ”B” panel at the base can be calculated from the
formulas below. The formulas are applicable for the most common
types of lifts and lifts having 1 motor drive machinery with DOL-
starting at 400V, 50Hz.
Fig I6
Note:
If an earth leakage circuit breaker, ELCB, (ground fault circuit breaker)
is to be used, the trip-out value should be chosen for equipment
protection i.e. 500 mA.
The ELCB must be suitable for VFC applications.

a = Conductor area mm2, Cu. To be rounded up to standard sizes,

i.e. 10, 16, 25, 35 mm2 etc.
L = Length in m of the 3-phase power supply cable from the
jobsite distribution board to the Base panel
For conductor sizes in AWG Nos., see conversion table below.
7.2 Supply cables to hoists and lifts with VFC

The size of the power supply cable must always comply with
Rules and Regulations stipulated by the local Authority for
electrical installations. Customers power supply cable must also be
sized to ensure that the voltage drop in the Base panel does not
exceed 3% when starting with full load with the lift moving in the
upward direction. The size of the power supply cable can be
calculated by following formula:
a = L × P × 0.0056... ...where
a = Conductor area in mm2 copper
L = Length in m of the power supply cable from distribution board
to the Base panel
P = Drive motor power in kW on the lift

IMPORTANT!
The power supply cable must be sized according to the drive motor
power installed on the hoist/lift. Minimum size of the supply cable
is shown on the table above. The table refers to supply voltage
400V to 460V, 50/60Hz.
See note re: earth circuit breaker. See section 7.1 Supply cables to

8. Power supply from generator set at

jobsite
8.1 Required generator power
It is recommended that the generator be capable of providing a
starting current at rated voltage. If this is not possible, the
guidelines below can be used.
DOL
For DOL starting of Alimak lifts having 1 or 2 drive motors we
suggest the following generator sizes:
Table 14 Regular SE lifts

• 1 motor drive size 112, 7.0 kW (8.5 kW) 65 kVA min.
• 1 motor drive size 132, 8.8 kW (10 kW) 70 kVA min.
• 2 motor drive size 132, 8.8 kW (10 kW) 140 kVA min.
Table 15 Explosion proof SE-Ex. lifts

• 1 motor drive size 160, 11 kW 75 kVA min.
It should be noted that the recommended generator sizes are large

due to the fact that the DOL starting of the motor(s) draws a large
current resulting in a voltage drop which would cause the
contactors to oscillate on and off. A smaller generator might be
used but this can only be established by practical experience
related to a specific make and model of the generator set.
9. Voltage drop in the power supply

9.1 Typical symptoms

• The lift will not start with the full rated load.
• The brakes will not lift when starting in the Up-direction.
• The contactors oscillate on and off (”chatter”) when starting
with full load in the Up-direction.
• The contacts of the Up and the main contactors are damaged.
I8 ALIMAK SE Lifts
9.2 How to overcome voltage drop problems

The best method to avoid any voltage drop problem is to make a
proper engineering review of the conditions at the job site before
installing the lift. When installed, the options are limited.
However, should a situation occur where the power supply seems
to be insufficient, it is important to determine whether this depends
on the voltage drop in the power supply or something else. Use an
instrument to measure the incoming power supply voltage in both
the B-panel at the base and the M-panel on/in the car. Take the
readings during starting conditions in the upward direction with
rated load in the car. If the voltage drop exceeds the values given
above, one or more of the following steps can be taken:
1. Increase the conductor size in the power supply cable from the
jobsite distribution board to the B-panel at base.
2. Increase the conductor size in the trailing power cables
between the base panel and the car. Due to mechanical and
performance reasons, the conductors in the trailing cable
should not exceed 16 mm2.
The fixed cable to the junction box at ½ lifting height can be

increased in size.
3. Reduce the rated load.
4. Install a step-up transformer in the power supply in order to
increase the voltage.
Note:
Motor windings must be adaptable to this higher voltage. Otherwise
the motor must be changed. To give the best possible advantage, the
step-up transformer should preferably be located close to the jobsite
distribution board.
If you have any questions regarding the power supply cables or

the trailing cables, please contact Alimak Hek for advice.

1.3 Function description

Normal Operation
This is a brief functional description. For more technical
information, see operator’s manual.
Fully collective control system

All destination orders from the car and all calls from the landings
are picked up, memorized and processed within the control system.
Once an order or a call has been registered the travel direction is
decided. Should one or more orders arrive before the initial order
is completed these will be stored and memorised. During travel,
the car automatically stops at the landing addressed in sequence of
up or down collective.
The control system operates by means of an ALC II unit and a
pulse transmitter fitted to the machinery. The car position in the lift
way is determined by the pulses generated by the pulse transmitter.
Landing panel
The bottom- and top landings panels have one call button. The
intermediate landing panel has two call buttons. The lift is called
by pressing the button for desired travel direction on any of the
landings. A call accepted light will light up in the actual push
button. An out of service indicator that indicate some malfunctions
(door open, safety circuit broken etc.) is also included.
This feature is NOT available for class II division II lifts.
Car control panel / Car main control panel for class II

division 2 lifts
The car control panel is provided with following equipment.
• Destination push buttons – one for each floor.
• An alarm pushbutton. When actuated, the signal is transferred

to the base panel where it can be picked up for further
transmission.
• An overload warning with a red light indicator.
• An red emergency stop button.
• A key switch to lock car.
• An fire and gas warning with a red light indicator.
• An wind speed meter warning with a red light indicator.
• A light switch. Optional NEC feature.
Overload sensing device (OSD)

The OSD is set to monitor the rated payload during normal
operation.
ALIMAK SE Lifts
At overload, a red indicator placed on the control panel inside the

car goes on and the control circuit is switched off to prevent the
use of the lift.
Special Operation Modes

Below is described the special operation modes available. Please
follow instructions in operations manual in order to perform these
special operations.
Inspection operation from top of the car

During maintenance and inspection the lift can be run from the car
roof. Turn the selector switch on the main control panel, on top of
lift car, to position ”Inspection”. The normal operation from inside
car and landings is then disconnected. The car can then be
operated top of the lift car and only as long as the buttons are kept
pressed. On the main panel there is a vision glass over a display,
this display will be a good help when doing the programming and
also when troubleshooting the system, some fault codes will be
shown on this display (see ALC II manual).
Inspection and operation controls are located on a separate car
roof panel for Class II division 2 lifts.
Programming mode
In programming mode the lift can only be operated from top of the
lift car. For more technical information, see operator’s manual.
Programming operation from inside the main panel in car for
Class II division 2 lifts.
Unintentional stop
If a power failure occurs, or any safety switch is actuated, the lift
stops immediately. In these events call and destination orders are
lost. When safety switch is reset new orders can be placed and
executed. When power returns and a call or order is given the lift
will automatically move down to the bottom and stop. Then it
moves automatically upwards until it has left the reference cam
and then stops. The reference point and the retardation distance are
now programmed in to the system, and the lift moves to the
bottom landing ready to execute orders.
Voice communication between base and car

Equipment required to fulfill EN 81-20/-50.
One telephone is installed inside the emergency operation panel
beside the base panel at ground landing and one telephone
installed inside the lift car. These telephones need to be connected
to one separate line each by project to make it possible to
communicate between base and car.

the bottom mast section bolted to bottom frame and the bottom
foundation. By means of steel armouring and fittings to the
building, the bottom foundation will be solid contact with ground
and the building structure and its armouring. The tie-in fittings
between the mast and the building structure provide additional
bonding and connections to ground.
The base panel is bolted to both bottom foundation and to the mast
steel structure i.e. it is connected to ground. In addition, the base
enclosure, mast etc. are connected to ground by means of the
green/yellow ground PE-conductor in the electrical supply
connected to the grounding bar in the base electrical panel. The
landing assemblies are connected to ground by means of bolting/
fitting to the building structure and the green/yellow grounding
PE-conductor in the electrical wiring to the landings.
The lift car is metal structure. Drive motors and all electrical
components having metal enclosure are positively fitted to the car
structure by means of metal screws. In addition, they are also
connected to the electrical ground bar by means of a green/yellow
grounding PE-conductor. The entire lift car including the electrical
installation therefore forms a “Faradays cage” providing excellent
protection for the passengers against any touch voltage.
The lift car, the base enclosure, the mast, the landing assemblies,
the building structure and the electrical grounding system are all
positively bonded to each other and connected to the earth/ground
potential. The general design of Alimak rack and pinion hoist and
lifts are therefore well adopted to provide adequate protection
against indirect contact and hazardous touch voltage.

1. General
Over the years serious accidents have occurred during the erection
and dismantling of rack and pinion lifts and construction lifts.
Common to these accidents has been the ”human factor”, i.e. non
adherence to proper safety procedures and common sense.
This document affects those personnel involved in the erection,
dismantling and servicing of such equipment.
Some examples:
Leaning over the safety railing on the car roof while the lift is
moving upwards can cause you to be struck by a tie or a cable
guide.
Incomplete installation of mast bolts can cause separation of the
mast sections, leading to the fall of the car with subsequent loss of
life or serious injuries. Fig C1
Not following the correct mast tie schedules.

Avoid the risk of accidents by carefully studying these
instructions regularly. Think clearly. Do not rush the work and
always check to make certain that the work is being done
properly. SAFETY FIRST!

that the exterior is generally slightly different from those shown in this
manual. However, the function remains the same.
1. Switch on the main ON/OFF switch at the ground landing.
Note:
To prevent nuisance use - the base panels main electrical switch
must be arranged, NOT public accessible, when the lift is
installed in public places. This arrangement is not included in the
lift delivery.

2.2 Fire and gas alarm

When the fire and gas input to the base panel is activated, the lift
(if traveling) stops at the nearest landing so personnel can evacuate
the lift and go to a designated safe spot. All calls are erased and
the lift is locked at that landing until the alarm input goes off. If
the lift is already at a landing, it is locked at that landing until the
alarm input goes off.
D6 ALIMAK SE Lifts
2.3 Regular Safety Inspection every 2nd month

1. Check that the main switches, emergency stop switch, limit
switches and door interlocking switches are working.
Make test runs with each one of the switches in Off- position.
The lift must not start. Be sure to check only one switch at a
time.
2. Check all mechanical interlocks by making test runs and at the
same time try to open the doors.
The lift must not start. Be sure to check only one switch at
the time.
3. Check the condition and function of all springs on all cable
guides where applicable.
2.4 When carrying out service and inspection work

When it is necessary to operate the lift from the car roof, in order
to carry out service and inspection work, the switch in the electric
cabinet in the lift car shall be set in the ”Inspection” position. The
switch then breaks the self-holding function of the control system
and the landing control circuits. This means that the lift will stop
as soon as the push-button is released and that the lift can only be
operated from the roof of the car.
WARNING!
Unintended car movement.
Always depress the red ”Emergency stop”-button to Fig D5

3.17 Radial play of the rotating shaft on the safety

device
1. Position a support (A) on the rack using a C-clamp –
approximately 1 mm (3⁄64") above the safety device pinion.
2. Measure the play with a feeler gauge.
3. Lift the pinion by the aid of the cranking lever from the lift
tool kit or some other suitable tool and measure the play again.
Note:
Note that the pinion must remain in precisely the same position
during both measurements.
4. The difference between the two measured values is the radial

play of the safety device shaft.
5. If the radial play is greater than 0.6 mm (1⁄32"), the safety
device must be replaced.
IMPORTANT!
Test has to be done before lubrication of the safety device.

mast / guide rail and that a play of 1.4 mm (1⁄16") is obtained
between roller and mast tube / guide rail flange at one side of the
cable trolley, when corresponding rollers on the other side of the
trolley are in close contact.
Adjustment is made by turning the eccentric shafts of the rollers
until the correct play is obtained whereupon the attachment bolts
are tightened.

5.1 Alimak lubrication grease pump (optional)

The optional semi-automatic rack lubrication system is
recommended by Alimak as the lubrication is carried out in a
controlled manner, adding the correct amount of grease to entire
stretch of rack. This is especially essential in a sandy environment,
where excessive greasing may absorb sand.
The Alimak lubrication system consists of an optional grease
pump with grease cartridges and a quick connection on a grease
pipe inside the car. The grease pipe leads outside the car to the top
of the pinion and is part of the standard delivery.
The grease pump is available in both manual and battery operated
versions. The manual grease pump is Explosion Proof and can be Fig E57 Alimak lubrication system

2. If need of greasing is identified, return to car.
3. Lower the car to bottom landing.
4. Connect Alimak grease pump to the quick connection inside
the car and activate the pump to build up grease in the pipe
system.
Released 19 2018-03-21 6444 en-US
5. Press top landing button.

6. As the lift starts to move upwards, apply grease with the
grease pump. Continue to lubricate until top landing is
reached. Recommended amounts: Approximately one 400 g
cartridge of Alimak Genuine Cog Grease per 50 m.
7. Inspect lubrication of rack from car roof by running lift in
inspection mode from top landing of mast down to bottom
landing. If need of additional lubrication is identified, repeat
lubrication procedure inside car (normally 1-2 greasing cycles
is sufficient).

1. Electric troubleshooting
Advice concerning procedures for troubleshooting
All forms of troubleshooting require adapting the procedure to the
function and structure of the equipment in question and to other
conditions which may be local in nature. For example, the erection
site, maintenance, previous operational disturbances, etc. The main
principles for all forms of troubleshooting in electric systems are
presented below. Troubleshooting is carried out with the aid of a
test lamp or voltmeter. We recommend a voltmeter – preferably a
universal instrument – for rapid and reliable troubleshooting.
WARNING!
Hazardous voltage Fig F1
Only authorized electricians or authorized service
personnel can carry out work on the electrical equipment.
1. Use the circuit diagram. This diagram is located in a box

intended for this purpose in the car. This shows how the
electric equipment should function, and how it is built and
connected.
a. Check that the stopping circuit is not broken, in other
words that thermal relays and phase failure relays have
not been actuated and that the limit switches for the safety
device, roof trapdoors etc. have their contacts closed. Fig F2
Make sure that stop buttons, including buttons on
landings, are not in the depressed position. When the
stopping circuit is unbroken, the main contactor, shall be
in the ”ON” position.
b. Check that the normal and final terminal switches for
”Up” and ”Down” respectively function are as intended.
2. Connect the voltmeter/test lamp between the zero terminal and

that the circuits which function correctly can be eliminated
Released 19 2018-03-21 6444 en-US
and the fault can be localized.

3. Begin at the bottom landing by checking that power is
supplied on all three phases of the incoming main voltage.
4. Check that the outgoing lift cable(s) receives power when the
main switch is switched on.
5. Now begin troubleshooting in the lift car by checking that the
power reaches the car.
6. Check in the equipment cabinet to ensure that power occurs
on all three phases of the incoming cable from the ground
landing.
F4 ALIMAK SE Lifts
7. Check that the ”Up” and ”Down” pulses from the push-
buttons and control devices reach the electric cabinet in the
car in the intended manner.
8. Make a trial run and check that the coil on the relevant
contactor (Up, Down) receives power and that it is actuated.
Check also that the brake contactor is actuated and that the
brake coil is energized so that the brake releases.
9. If the fault does not occur in the lift operating system but in its
lighting or signal system, carry out fault tracing in a manner
similar to that described above, in other words check the
circuits methodically one by one until you have narrowed
down the fault and localized it.
Experience shows that certain fault causes have symptoms which,
in turn, may indicate the cause and the probable location of the
fault:
Example:
Symptom Probable cause Probable fault location
