3. PREPARATIONS FOR AUTO-TUNE

Auto-tune process must be performed by Arcode before initial set-up of an elevator. In this way Arcode learns characteristic of
motor. During the Auto-tune the elevator must be operated manually, therefore the recall command has to be provided. For recall
operation make the following connections
• Connect the mains power of the control panel (L1, L2, L3, N, PE)
• Bridge the safety circuit by the terminals in control panel shown below.
Control Panel Terminals:
Figure-6: bridging of safety chain
• Bridge the signals of top and bottom limit switches (817 and 818) to terminal 100 on KBK-12&13 connection board
shown below.
KBK-12&13
Figure-7a: bridging of top and bottom limit switches
• Bridge the car top (869) and pit (868) inspection signals to terminal 100 on KBK-12&13 connection board shown below.
Note: If the control pane isn’t EN81-20 the pit inspection signal (868) isn’t connected to 100.
KBK-12&13
Figure-7b: bridging of car top inspection signal

Figure-8a: KBK12&13 connection board
• KBK12&13 connection board is used for all required connections for shaft. That board includes supply and inputs of
all safety chain, car CANBus input/output, and car connections. If you prefer pre-wired connections, all connector
connections are sign with labels on flex cables.
Figure-8b: AREM handset

• AREM hand terminal can be connected to CANBus line which is located in shaft, LOP, COP or control panel. It is not
possible to make any change in the parameters without AREM.
• AREM will run automatically when it is connected CANBus line. It can be connected to KXCBA board or any CANBus
access point. For first installation Arcode software must be updated by AREM. (See Software Update).
Figure-8c: KXCBA CANBus terminal

• Activate the manual operation mode by turning the recall switch on the recall hand terminal to “REV” position. In this
case the motor can be moved by recall buttons from the control panel.

• “Operation mode” parameters should be selected
“Installation mode”. (According to EN81-20
norms, if the defined critical inputs are connected to
a peripheral and if this peripheral and main
controller can not be communicated, the system
must be stopped (Er98). When this parameter is
selected as “Installation Mode”, system will not
check the critical signal positions and will not give
error.)
• Machine plate information” should be set
according to motor plate.
Figure-10a: “Operating settings”

• “Maximum travel speed”, “inspection mode-speed”

and “recall speed” which is located in “Travel curve
settings” should be set according to motor speed.
• The nominal speed which is written on motor plate must
be used for parameter “Maximum travel speed”.
Figure-10b: “Travel Curve Settings”
• Parameter “Encoder type” which is located under

“Motor encoder Settings” should be selected
according to motor encoder type.
Figure-10c: “Motor encoder settings”
• If motor doesn’t have brake(s) microswithces or it has

but not connected, “Mechanical brake monitoring”

there will be only 1 option for motor tuning which is like the Picture on Figure-11c. When pressed Enter button again,
you will see “Turn the recall switch to INSPECTION possition”
• Turn the recall switch which is in the control panel to inspection posstion. Press up or down button until see “Auto-
tune was completed” If you release button before auto-tune is completed you must run again.
• Pay attention: Arcode does not start auto-tune if you turn hand terminal which is located on car roof to inspection
position. The hand terminal which is in the control panel should be turned to inspection.
• After auto-tune is completed press up or down button to drive motor.
• When you press up or down button if the motor turns opposite direction, you must change “motor direction” by
parameter “driver settings”.
• To fix motor direction if “motor direction” had been selected “clockwise” you must select “counter-clockwise”. If
“motor direction” had been selected “counter-clockwise” you must select “clockwise”.
• If the motor turns correctly in inspection mode, you can pass other steps below.
• Remove the bridging made for safety circuit terminals 110-140 (see Figure-6).
• Remove the bridging made for correction switches 817 and 818. (See Figure-7a).
5. PREPARATIONS FOR NORMAL OPERATION

• Also “Operation mode” must be selected “Normal Operation” which is located under “Basic settings”.
6. SHAFT LEARNING & TEST DRIVE

• Arcode integrated elevator system needs to do a special shaft-learning run before going into normal operation. This must be
done only once. Before performing a shaft-learning run, please check your magnets and magnetic switches that are needed
for encoder positioning system and then follow the steps described below:
• Select icon of “Shaft learning” in the menu and press

Enter button. You can run shaft learning procedure
pressing by “F2” button.
• To run shaft learning procedure lift must not be in
inspection or recall mode and safety circuit must be
closed. If elevator is waiting in inspection mode when
shaft learing is started, a warning message appears on
the screen.
• Position of car is not important during shaft learning.
It will move downward with half of high speed. It
starts to learn all floors after it reaches to bottom floor
and shaft learning is completed after it reaches to top
floor. Figure-15a: Shaft learning
• If you need to interrupt the shaft-learning drive for any screen
reason, press the “Emergency Stop” button or take the
lift into manual operation mode by turning the recall
switch.
• The shaft learning procedure depending on the length of

the shaft, this may take a while. You can follow stage of
shaft learning on AREM screen.
• When the shaft learning run is completed, a message
“Shaft learned” will be displayed. Back to main menu
and save which is learned distance.
Figure-15b: Shaft learning
• Elevator will move bottom floor after completed shaft

learning to reset floor numbers. The car will appear on
screen as shown figure-16 when car reaches to the bottom
floor. The car goes bottom floor to reset floor number
every time when Arcode energized first time.
• The elevator must be checked by given call whether it
reaches to destination floors or not. To give a call by
AREM there are two methods. Press up or down button
after pressing “F2” button. If you press one time to
direction button the car moves 1 floor up or down. Given
call is determined with the number of pressed direction
buttons.
Figure-16: Floor resetting
• Second method is press “Info” button when AREM shows

main screen (Figure-16).
• Select icon of “COP and LOP calls” and press Enter
button.
• Use direction arrows to give a call. Press Enter button. The
car will move to given floor.
Figure-17: give a call by “COP and LOP calls”

7. LANDING & CAR CALL SETTINGS

Car Calls:
• CPC or CPC-T (Car Panel Controller) boards are used to give car calls. These are connected to IBC-S (Inspection Box
Controller) board by serial communication. if dipswitch settings were done which is shown in section 11, it is not
necessary to do any additional settings. (Note that CPC and CPC-T dipswitch settings are different from each other.)
Landing Calls:
• Arcode can accept landing calls both serial connection (CANBus) and parallel connection. If landing calls are wanted
to use as paralel, the SP-16 board must be used. (see section 11 for more information)
• If CANBus is wanted to use for landing calls, position of landing calls’ buttons would be defined.
• Firstly, AREM hand terminal should be connected to

CANBus connector on the CPC board to define place of
landing buttons.
• Give a call to bottom floor from COP.
• Press “Tools” button and select icon of “LOP Learning”
and press Enter button.
Figure-18a: LOP learning
• “LOP learning” must be selected to start to learn landing

button position.
• “LOP position reset” is used to reset which was learnt LOP
positions.
• When selected “LOP learning” the figure-18c appears on
the screen of AREM. If there are not any learned position
you will see figure right side of floor numbers. In that

situation if your LOP has a display you will see “??” on LOP
screen. If position learning was done previously you will see
figure right side of floor numbers. In that situation you

will see “A” “+” and defined floor number on LOP screen
respectively.
Figure-18b: selection of LOP learning
• “A” shows defined floor. For B door this sign will be “B”.
“+” means the display is used for landing call button
Figure-18c: LOP position learning screen

LOP learning:
• If the car is at bottom floor and LOP display shows “??” or wrong landing floor, you must hold down call button of
LOP until appears correct floor number on LOP screen. For first floor door A you must see “A” “+” and ”1” respectively.
If your system has B door you should slide scroll box to right side and hold down call button of LOP until appears “B”
“+” and “1” respectively. The while figure will change as figure . Give a call from COP to second floor
after completed definition of first floor. All LOPs must be defined for all floor according to explanation above.
• If LOP does not have a screen, you should hold down call button of LOP until figure will change as figure
on AREM screen. The while led of LOP will flash for a second when landing position is learned.
• If the LOPs are used only for display you do not have to do these settings. The display will show floor number when
elevator starts to normal working.
8. OTHER SETTINGS
Picture Memory Settings of LCD
The software must be updated like explained ‘Software Update’ when first time a LCD is connected CANBus line. The software
update should be done after all LCDs are connected CANBus line. The Picture memory is empty when first time an LCD is
connected CANBus line.
• The AREM must be connected which is located same LCD CANBus

line. If you want to update LCD of COP the AREM must be
connected to COP. If LCDs of landings are wanted to update this time
the AREM must be connected shaft CANBus line. Other wise Arcode
can not find correct LCDs.
• To update Picture memory of LCD, select “LCD update screen” and
press Enter button.
Figure-19a: LCD Update Screen
• Updated LCD type is selected and pressed Enter button.

• To select message right/left arrows are used. To select Picture for
message up/down arrows are used.
• All changes are saved in memory of LCD.
Figure-19b: LCD type selection

Deceleration Distance
Arcode does not need any additional settings to determine deceleration distance because of its direct approach feature.
• To make comfort settings, “Travel curve settings” must be selected
which is located under “Driver Settings”. Choose “comfort
setting” parameter and press Enter button.
• Default settings of “comfort settings” as
comfort:3/Performance:3 is set. For that situation both comfort and
performance is set as nominal.
• If you want the elevator stops quickly you should decrease comfort
value. The performance will increase when comfort is decreased.
• If you want more comfort you should increase comfort parameter.
This time, performance will decrease.
Figure-19c: Comfort level

9. SOFTWARE UPDATE
When AREM is first connected to the CANBus line, if AREM’s SD card does not have the software which exsist on Arcode,
AREM will inform that an update is needed. Start the update pressing the button F1. The system will be restarted when the
update is complete. All Arcode peripherals are updatable. For this reason, with each peripheral added to the elevator, the software
needs to be updated.
• Choose “firmware update” icon and press “Enter”.
Figure-20a: firmware update
• The latest update is the one having the nearest date. Start
software update by pressing “Enter”.
• While carrying out setup, if there are peripherals not
connected to the CANBus line, you will have to update the
software again. Otherwise, peripherals you connected later
will not work.

monitoring status of shaft light.
11. CAR PANEL CONTROLLER BOARDS

In Arcode, 3 different boards can be used optionally for car calls. If car call buttons will be connected with socket type, CPC
board should be used. If car call buttons will be connected wire by wire with terminal, CPC-T board or FX-CAN should be used.
In the systems of more than 16 stops, using CPC-T or FX-CAN board are not possible.
11.1. SETTINGS OF CPC BOARD
Arcode can operate two-doors elevator upto 64 stops, lt collects car calls with the help of a CPC card. Each CPC card can serve
up to 24 stops. If there are more than 24 floors or on condition that it has two doors, two CPC cards must be used. For an elevator
with 64 stops and two doors, a sum of 6 CPC cards must be used. The dipswitch which is located on CPC board is used to
determine working type and door settings.
Dipswitch-1 Dipswitch-2 Dipswitch-3 Dipswitch-4
0 0 1 0 CPC-1A Up to 24 floors
0 0 0 1 CPC-1B Up to 24 floors for 2nd door
0 0 1 1 CPC-1AB Up to 24 floors
Table-1: dipswitch settings of CPC board
For example: If you have a one-door system up to 24 floors, dip switch settings must be done “0010”. “ON” on the dip switch
means 1.
11.2. SETTINGS OF CPC-T BOARD
CPC-T board can work up to 16 stops.
Dipswitch-1 Dipswitch-2 Dipswitch-3 Dipswitch-4
ON Door-A enable Door-B enable Gray outputs Outputs are inverted
OFF Door-A disable Door-B disable Binary outputs Outputs are normal
Table-2: dipswitch settings of CPC-T board
CPC-T board can be optionally used instead of CPC board. As seen in the table above, the dip-switch settings are different from
each other. So, please pay attention this case while doing dip-switch settings.
For CPC-T board, car call button connections are done wire by wire with terminal. If the system has more than 16 stops, it is not
possible to use CPC-T board.
11.3. SETTINGS OF FX-CAN
FX-CAN is a board to collect car calls up to 16 stops and fulfill some functions of IBC-S board. FX-CAN can’t be used with
IBC-S or CPC or CPC-T boards. This board cannot be used if two doors are wanted to open independently in same floor (the
calls are collected as doorAB). Gray, binary, 7-segment 31, 32 and 02 signals can be gotten from this board. Car top inspection
signals (500-501) can be linked on this board. It has speaker output to get gong ve button voices. Battery and emergency light
connections can be linked. Magnetic switches (ML1-ML2 or liftsense) connectors are available. Car light, fan, doo open/close
outputs (only one door is supported) are available. Internal 10 pcs inputs are used for photocell, overload, full load etc.
Dipswitches on the board are used to determine different working type of the displays.
Table-3: Display output settings

11.4. SETTINGS OF IO-0210 BOARD

In some cases, programmable inputs and outputs may not be enough. Then, this IO-0210 board would be useful. This board gives
2 inputs and 10 transistor outputs to the user.
There are 8 dipswitches. The logic of these dipswitches is as follows:
For outputs, 1 and 2 dipswitches are used to select the group number of outputs:
1 2 Prog.output
OFF OFF 1st group
OFF ON 2nd group
ON OFF 3rd group
ON ON 4th group
Table-4: Group settings
• From “Programmable outputs” parameter, the outputs should be assigned from related group number. (Tools → device
parameters → programmable outputs → IO-0210 board outputs).
1 pc. IO-0210 board gives 10 programmable transistor outputs to the user.
For inputs, other 6 dipswitches (from 3(MSB) to 8(LSB)) works with a binary logic. For example;
MSB: Most Significant Bit (3rd dip-switch)
LSB: Least Significant Bit (8th dip-switch)
You can program 64 different IO-0210 boards for inputs.
000000→ “IO-0210-1 board PI1 and IO-0210-1 board PI2”
000100→ “IO-0210-5 board PI1 and IO-0210-5 board PI2” and so on. This can be chosen from 0 up to 63. (64 pcs.)

Table-5: Input settings
Programmable inputs should be assigned from the related parameter depending on the dip-switch settings.
(Tools → device parameters → programmable inputs → IO-0210 board inputs).
11.5. SETTINGS OF MSP-16 BOARD
In the parallel installation systems, LOP calls are connected to this board. This board can collect one button up to 16 floors. If
the system is full collective it can collects 2 buttons up to 9 floors. Dipswitch settings must be set according to Table-6. Check
electrical diagram for more information.
Table-6: Dipswitch settings of MSP-16

11.6. SETTINGS OF MSP-32 BOARD

MSP-16 can serves up to 9 floors for full collective. If the system full collective and more than 9 stops MSP-32 board is used.
Dipswitch settings must be set according to Table-7. Check electrical diagram for more information.
Table-7: Dipswitch settings of MSP-32
Number 5 and 6 are used to set of display outputs for both MSP-16
and MSP-32 boards. Gray, binary, 7-segment, 31, 32 and 02
outputs can be linked on MSP boards.

13. CLEARING OF PERMANENT ERRORS

In order to clear the permanent error, the following 2 steps should be performed.
On AREM,
1) Tools → System Tools → Clear Permanent Error
2) Tools → System Tools → Reset System
14. NEW FUNCTIONS WHICH ARE COMING WITH EN81-20

By-Pass key
The pacco switch is used to bridge safety circuit for maintenance purpose.
• The key which has 4 positions can bridges only one part of the safety
circuit in same time.
• Position 0: No bridge in that position.
• Position 1: 120-130 are bridged. Landing door contacts are bridged for
semi automatic doors.
• Position 2: 130-135 are bridged. Landing door contacts for full automatic
door or Landing door locks for semi automatic doors are bridged.
• Position 3: 135-140 are bridged. Car door locks are bridged.
Note: To move car in By-pass mode door limit switches must be defined to related
inputs and they must be connected.
Elevator can work only inspection mode if the by-pass key position is not 0. The
flasher with alarm board which is located under the car is activated when by-pass
key is not at position 0 and with car is moved in inspection mode.
Figure 21a: By-pass key
Inspection hand terminals
Inspection hand terminals which are located on car roof and in pit are more priority than recall inspection hand terminal. Also,
inspection hand terminals have "RUN" button beside (UP and Down) buttons. To run in inspection both direction and run buttons
must be pressed together. If the elevator gets into inspection mode from car roof or from the pit, recall hand terminal will not
work. If both inspection hand terminal on car roof and inspection hand terminal in pit get inspection mode, direction and run
buttons must be pressed together both hand terminals to move car.
Back to normal operation from pit inspection
If the inspection key turn to inspection mode which is located in pit it must be reset by reset key even though inspection hand
terminal is taken normal mode. To back normal operation all inspection signals (868, 869, 870) must be active, all safety circuit
(120, 130, 140) must be active. In that case the reset key (IPR input) which is located on buttom floor LOP or on the door frame
must be activated in a few seconds.
15. ERROR CODES – POSSIBLE REASONS AND SOLUTIONS

01- Could not read parameters. Checksum wrong: If Eeprom is empty or checksum is faulty, it gives this error. Try to restart
system. If it does not solve, get contact to Arkel support.
02- Could not write parameters. Verify error: If it could not write the parameters or statistics to Eeprom, it gives this error.
Try to restart system. If it does not solve, get contact to Arkel support.
03- Parameters were written with a newer version. Some parameters will be lost: If the system is updated to an older version,
and if the functions in new version do not exist in the updated version, the values in the first version (before update) is cleared.
04- No connection with ENCA board: If Arcode can not communicate with ENCA board more than 1 second, it gives this
error.
• When this error is received, encoder connections must be checked. Encoder link can be wrong or there may be a problem
with encoder feed.
• The flat cable between Arcode and ENCA should be checked.
• Encoder type and motor type parameters should be checked.
05- DIP-switch configuration wrong or could not be read: When dipswitches are adjusted in a wrong way, it gives this error.
• You can get contact to Arkel support.
06- One of encoder channels disconnected: This error occurs when there is no info from ENCA board for 1 second.
• The flat cable between Arcode and ENCA, and encoder connections should be checked.
07- Current was over driver limit: If the motor current exceeds over 200% of max. current of IPM module, it gives this error.
• Arcode capacity should be suitable with motor.
• The car shoes may be too tight, or the motor brake may not open fully.
• For geared machine ‘nominal slip frequency’ parameter might be entered wrong.
• ‘Noload current’ parameter should be checked.
08- Current was near driver limit continuously: If the motor current exceeds over 250% of max. current of IPM module for
6 seconds, it gives this error.
• Be sure that load balance is completed correctly.
• Check the machine brake is being opened completely.
• Check the ‘nominal slip frequency’ and ‘noload current’ parameters in asynchronous machines.
09- Motor or control cabinet overheated: If T1 and T2 inputs are not short circuit, this error occurs.
• Check the PTCs of motor, control panel and brake resistor.
• Check T1 and T2 terminals on Arcode. T1 and T2 should be short circuit in normal operation. When the temperature
increases, the short circuit will be cutted off and it will turn to open circuit.
10- Dropping of main contactors could not be sensed: When main contactors and brake are inactive, and if main contactor
monitoring (KRC) signal is OFF for 3 seconds, this error occurs.
• When door bridging card is available and though this is selected from within the menu and the bridge between 140-
140P is not excluded, this error is met.
• KRC terminal on Arcode should be active when contactors are dropped.
Note: If this error is shown on AREM screen as ‘PERMANENT’, it means that turned to permanent error. In order to get rid of
the permanent error case, look at Page 19.
11- Picking of main contactors could not be sensed: When main contactors and brake are active, and if main contactor
monitoring (KRC) signal is still ON for 3 seconds, this error occurs.
• This error occurs in case of not becoming 140P (it seems as 14P on AREM) even though safety circuit is 120-130-140.
• If this error is received, there may be a breakdown in door bridging card.
• Besides, door locks time is set 0=0 and if the safety circuit does not work, this error is received again. To prevent this,
door locks time must be entered at least =0,3 seconds.
• If there is no door bridging card, 140-140P inputs must be bridged on Arcode.
12- Holding of mechanical brake not sensed: When the motor mechanical brake is off, 100 signal must be transmitted to BRC
input from brake micro switches. If this signal does not exist, this error is received.
• Control brake switches. The signal 100 may not be transmitted to switches’ contacts.
13- Release of mechanical brake not sensed: When the motor mechanical brake is on, signal 100 must be cut. If signal 100 is
still taken, this error occurs.
• Control brake switches. The motor brake may not be ON.
14- DC-bus voltage is too high: this error occurs when the line voltage is over of the voltage limit for 20 miliseconds.
• Check line voltage from L1, L2, L3 inputs. Line voltage must not be over 420V.
• Also, check brake resistor connections.
15- DC-bus voltage is too low: This error is received if system voltage is below working values for 3 seconds.
• Check line voltage from L1, L2, L3 inputs.
• Line voltage must not be below 340V.
16- Power-module (IPM) reported error: When power-module enters alarm, it gives this error.
• During the movement in inspection mode, in order to stop the car, if up or down button is released suddenly, it gives
this error. The car should be stopped by pressing both buttons together. After contactors are dropped, the fingers should
be released.
• If this error is in normal mode, brake resistor connections should be checked.
• The safety circuit may be cutting during movement.
17- Inconsistent encoder speed reading: If the acceleration exceeds 10 m/s2 for 5 times consecutively, this error occurs.
• Mounting of encoder should be checked. Encoder may be slipping while turning.
• Encoder cable connection and earth connection should be checked.
• Encoder cable should be at least 5 cm far from the cables which carries 220V AC voltage.
18- Car overspeeded: This error is faced if the speed information from the encoder is above the calculated speed.
• Encoder connections must be checked. Motor parameters must be checked.
• The elevator’s load balance must be set correctly. Load balance must be checked by putting half-load into the car.
• Speed PID gains that are in PID control settings may be insufficient. Gains must be raised.
• Safety circuit should be checked. While the car is moving, if safety circuit is cutted off suddenly, it give this error.
19- Could not reach required speed: If motor can not reach to the reference speed in 5 seconds, it gives this error.
• Though enough power is transmitted to the motor and it doesn’t reach the desired speed then this error will occur.
• Motor parameters must be checked. Encoder connections must be checked.
• Load balance must be checked by putting half-load into the car.
• Speed PID gains that are in PID control settings may be insufficient. Gains must be raised.
• Motor unloaded current that is under motor plate information must be set %20 in geared machines.
• Try to move the car in asynchronous machines in inspection mode with open loop. If there is no problem in the open
loop, check the connections of encoder and ENCI board.
20- Encoder connection fault: When wrong information comes from encoder, this error is given. This error is occurring only
with synchronous machines.
• The connections between encoder and encoder board should be checked.
• Encoder type parameter should be checked.
21- At least one phase missing: L1, L2, L3 inputs must be checked.
• One or more of the phases are not coming, or the voltage value may be low.
22- 3-Phase sequence is wrong: Phase L3 or L1 must be replaced with Phase L2.
23- 24V supply voltage too low: Measure Arcode 24v inputs. This error is taken if the value measured is below 20 VDC.
• Control power supply (transformer unit) output must be 19 VAC in transformer output and 24V dc on diode bridge. If
SMPS is used instead of transformer, the output voltage of SMPS must be 24VDC.
• If voltage is below 19 VAC, either the transformer is out of order or there is a line that used over current in 24VDC
outputs to decrease voltage.
24- Car was over top floor level: if the car passes top floor door zone magnets (ML2 gets off) of the top floor, it gives this
error.
• The position of door zone magnets might be changed.
• Position of 818 magnet might be changed. “Shaft learning done” parameter should be adjusted “No”. Then, shaft
learning process should be performed again.
• If ML1/ML2 signal or signals are cut when elevator reaches top floor it can give the same error. The magnetic switches
must be checked.
25- Car was below bottom floor level: When the car passes ML1 of the bottom floor, it gives this error.
• The position of door zone magnets may be changed.
• Position of 818 magnet may be changed. “Shaft learning done” parameter should be adjusted “No”. Then, shaft learning
process should be performed again.
• If ML1/ML2 signal or signals are cut when elevator reaches bottom floor it can give the same error. The magnetic
switches must be checked.
26- Total current measurement was non-zero: The total currents of U, V, W are not zero for 100 miliseconds, this error
occurs. If There is a problem about motor coils therefore the total current is changing (Normally total current must be zero)
• The motor might work with only 2 phases. Motor connections should be checked.
• The contacts of contactors may not be conducting.
• If Current sensor(s) of Arcode broke down, you can encounter same problem.
27- Maximum time of travel exceeded: After the car starts moving, If “P0044-maximum allowed time of travel between floors”
parameter is selected and the car couldnt reach to door zone magnets at the defined time, this error occurs. If the elevator could
not reach to door zone magnets (ML1&ML2) in the travel time set, this error will be occurred.
• Maximum travel time must be adjusted according to motor speed.
• Door zone magnets should be checked.
• ML1 and ML2 magnetic switches should be checked. The distance between magnet and magnetic switch should be
almost 1 cm. The connections of magnetic switches should be checked.
Note: After this error taken, a reset must be performed in order to delete this error. Taking the system to Inspection and then
back to Normal will not delete this error.
28- No EN signal: While motor starts moving or during travel, if EN signal or 140P input becomes zero, it gives this error.
• Be sure that 100 signal is coming to Arcode EN terminal when contactors are activated.
• If there is DBR board, be sure that it is selected as “Door Safety Circuit Bridging Board: Installed” in the parameter.
• If there is no DBR board, be sure that it is selected as “Door Safety Circuit Bridging Board: Not Installed” in the
parameter. There should be brige between 140 and 140P terminals.
29- ML1-ML2 short circuited: This error is faced with if M1, M2 signal stops or starts at the same time. check connection of
ML1 and ML2 magnetic switches.
• One of the signals may be OFF constantly.
Note: This is a permanent error. In order to get rid of the permanent error case, look at Page 19.
30- ML1-ML2 sequence wrong or could not be read: While the car is moving in the up direction if firstly ML1 signal is active,
this error is received. While the car is moving in the down direction, if firstly ML2 signal is active, this error is received too.
• ML2 magnetic switch must be mounted above ML1 magnetic switch. When the elevator goes down, first ML1 then
ML2 must enter the magnet.
• Cables of magnetic must be checked.
31- Door(s) could not close: After door close command, 140 signal should be ON within door closing time, door is opened
again and waits for the time in “P0023: Time to wait after photocell interruption” parameter, then again tries to close. The time
of retries for closing door is determined in "P0033: number of unjamming tries" parameter. If safety circuit still doesn’t come
within door closing time, it gives this error.
• Door closing time may not be enough. Raise this time.
• Check the cables of door close relay in the inspection box.
• Probably there are problem with door contacts. Check the plug lock contacts.
• If door limit switches are not connected or they do not exist, select “not connected” from door limit switches parameter.
• For the semi automatic doors, “LIR” output should not be used for door close. K3 output should be assigned and used.
32- Door(s) could not open: this error is received when the command “open the door” comes and the safety circuit (120-130-
140) does not cut in door’s opening time. Door opening time may not be enough. Raise this time. Check the connections of door
open relay in the revision box. If door limit switches are not connected or they do not exist, select “not connected” from door
limit switches parameter.
33- Door(s) could not be locked: If you are getting this error in inspection mode, be sure operation mode is selected as
installation mode in menu. If it is getting normal operation 137 and 140 signals must be checked. these signals must be high if
doors are close.
34- 130 off when 140 on. Check safety circuit: When UCM test is active or the doors are bridged, it does not give this error.
Otherwise, when 140 is ON and 130 is OFF, it gives this error.
• Check the safety circuit connections. When the landing doors are closed,130 signal should be ON. When the car door
is closed, 140 signal should be ON.
35- Safety-chain (120) interrupted during travel: If the elevator is not in the recall or inspection mode, and if 120 is OFF, this
error is received.
• Check circuit 120.During movement check the parts can that lose connection while movement such as door contacts
and regulator contacts.
36- Absolute encoder fault (Elgo Limax): This error appears when;
• The absolute encoder parameters [(P1041) Abs.position shaft encoder settingss are not correctly set.
• The communication between Elgo Limax and Arcode fails.
• Limax detects overspeed, UCM, wrong direction and crossing the limits (normal operation and inspection limits). (Fault
signal)
• Limax gives an internal error. (Defect code)
When using Limax33RED + Safebox or Limax33CP, after “Error 36” appears, the “Limax Status” screen in the “Info” menu
should be checked.
The communication status between Arcode-Arlim-Limax can be seen in the “Limax Status” screen. (Arlim board provides the
communication between Arcode and Limax )
If “Fault” is given, the next pages in the “Limax Status” screen should be investigated for looking up which red box is active.
If “Defect” is given, the meaning of the defect code, should be looked up in the user manual written by Elgo.
37- 140 interrupted during travel: If 140 does not exist for 50 milliseconds during movement, it gives this error. Door close
signal might cutted of during movement. Check the signal and door connections.
38- Encoder position was too different from magnet reading: If the correction done by encoder is more than 15 cm, this error
is received.
• The door area magnet might be slided. Or the chains may be slided too much.
• The encoder might be losing coupling. Be sure that encoder is mounted well.
39- Door-zone magnet could not be found: If the position of car is in the interval of ±3 cm of the position in which is learnt in
shaft learning, and ML1 or ML2 can not be encountered, it gives this error.
• Check ML1 and ML2 magnetic switches.
• Check the door zone magnet. Magnet may be slided. Perform shaft learning process again.
40- Earthquake sensor activated: If DEP input is active, this error occurs.
• Check that in the programmable inputs, assigned DEP input has energy or not.
Note: This is a permanent error. In order to get rid of the permanent error case, look at Page 19. Afterwards reset the system
41- 817 signal was not OFF when it should: If the car is below 817 magnet, 817 signal should be zero. Otherwise it gives this
error.
• The magnets 817 may have slided. The chains may have slided too much. After correcting the positions, perform shaft
learning again.
42- 817 signal was not ON when it should: If the car is above 817 magnet, 817 signal should be one. Otherwise, it gives this
error.
• The magnets 817 may have slided or fall. After correcting the positions, perform shaft learning again.
43- 818 signal was not OFF when it should: If the car is above 818 magnet, 818 signal should be zero. Otherwise, it gives this
error.
• The magnets 818 may have slided. The chains may have slided too much. After correcting the positions, perform shaft
learning again.
44- 818 signal was not ON when it should: If the car is below 818 magnet, 818 signal should be one. Otherwise, it gives this
error.
• The magnets 818 may have slided or fall. After correcting the positions, perform shaft learning again.
45- Door limit-switch fault: If a door limit switch is assigned as "connected" in P0013 and/or P0020 parameters, but does not
function as expected, this error is raised.
• Either the parameter should be selected as “not used” or the limit-switch connection should be done correctly.
47- Brake resistor overheated: The temperature of brake resistor is estimated depending on the change of voltage in the brake
resistor. If the calculated value exceeds a certain value, this error occurs.
• Check that brake resistor is chosen suitable for Arcode.
• For the ventilation of brake resistor to be good, around the brake resistor should be empty, and open for ventilation.
48- Heatsink overheated: If IPM temperature exceeds the value of “P0774: heatsink overheat error threshold”, it gives this
error.
• Check fans on Arcode they should be working properly.
• Be sure that ventilation of control panel is good.
49- External error (XER1) signal activated: When this is activated, it stops the system immediately.
• Check that if the assigned input XER1 has signal or not. After signal position turns to OFF, within 5 seconds it turns to
normal operation.
50- External error (XER2) signal activated: When this is activated and the car is at floor, it stops the system.
• Check that if the assigned input XER2 has signal or not. After signal position turns to OFF, within 5 seconds it turns to
normal operation.
51- External blocking signal (XBL1) activated: When this is activated, it stops the system immediately and blocked.
• Check that if the assigned input XBL1 has signal or not. After signal position turns to OFF, it requires either a reset
operation or turning the hand terminal to “inspection” and “normal” again, then it turns to normal operation.
52- External blocking signal (XBL2) activated: When this is activated and the car is at floor, it blocks the system.
• Check that if the assigned input XBL2 has signal or not. After signal position turns to OFF, it requires either a reset
operation or turning the hand terminal to “inspection” and “normal” again, then it turns to normal operation.
53- Encoder direction is wrong: Change the encoder direction from the menu. Auto-tune must be done again when the encoder
direction is changed for gearless machine.
54- OGD Error: A shaky starting occurs when the anti roll back value is entered too high. This error may be faced with in this
case. Decrease gains of anti roll back.
55- Contactor dropped: When the travel starts, during movement, if 100 signal is cut for 100 milliseconds, this error is received.
The signal 100 that normally passes through open contacts of KPA and KPB contactors comes to Arcode’s EN input. There must
be signal 100 in EN input when all the contactors are activated.
56- 817&818 cut at the same time: Both 817 and 818 signals are cut at the same time for 0,5 seconds, it gives this error.
• Check 817,818 signals and their magnetic sensors.
• Check the power supply of magnetic sensors.
57- Unbalanced motor current: If one or more motor cables are missing that error will occur. KPA and KPB contactors should
be checked. Motor cables can be connected directly to U, V, and W outputs on Arcode (by-pass contactors) only for testing. If
problem is not solved motor outputs of Arcode or motor coils might be defected
58- Current sensor offset fault: If U, V, W current sensor offset values are not interval of max. and min. accepted values for 1
second, it gives this error.
• Check the current sensor values at the “info” and “system information” screen
• Get contact to Arkel support
59- Car moving on wrong direction: If the reference speed of car is positive and 817 signal turns to passive from active, or if
the reference speed of car is negative and 818 signal turns to passive from active, it gives this error.
• If the error is received during movement in the up direction, check 817 signal. If error is received during movement in
the down direction, check 818 signal.
• Check that there is no short circuit or cutting on 817,818 signals.
• Check that there is no crack on 817,818 connection cables.
• Check the motor direction is correct by driving motor in inspection mode.

• ML1 and ML2 signals may get electrical noise.
61- UDI exception: CPU error. Get contact to Arkel support
62- Overflow exception: CPU error. Get contact to Arkel support
63- Watchdog timeout: CPU error. Get contact to Arkel Support
65- DFC communication error: If parameter P1029 was selected EN81-20 compatible but DFC board was not connected to
CANBus or was not updated the error is given. DFC board connection should be checked. If connections are correct the sofware
update must be perform.
66- Door contacts or DFC board error: According to EN81-20 door contacts must be monitored when every door is opened
against to bridge. If DFC board gets unexpected signal when test is performed, it will give error. Door types and safety circuit
connections must be checked. Also signal sequency must be checked according to table below.
Door A Door B 133 135 137 140

OPEN CLOSE 0 0 1 1
CLOSE OPEN 1 0 0 1
OPEN(TEST1) OPEN(TEST1) 0 0 0 1
OPEN(TEST2) OPEN(TEST2) 0 1 0 1
If two doors are opened together 2 tests are performed. If test results are not suitable according to table Arcode gives error.
71- Licence key (dongle) not found: This is related to “P0839” Arcode class. If “P0839” is chosen as Midline or Highline, and
there is no dongle, it gives this error. If it is Midline, the dongle which is proper to Midline should be used. If it is Highline, the
dongle which is proper to Highline should be used.
72- Limited feature: If "P0839 Arcode class" is chosen Arcode Basic and if one of the following cases exists, it gives this error.
• "P0002: number of floors” if it is entered greater than 16.
• "P0135: maximum travel speed” if it is entered greater than 1,6 m/s. if the number of Arcode is more than 2 in the
system.
• "P0890: Priority service function” if it is chosen as "Enabled".
• "P0942: Park floor selection method” if it is chosen as "park floor is selected by time zone”.
If "P0839 Arcode class" is chosen as Arcode Midline and if one of the following cases exists, it gives this error.
• "P0002: number of floors” if it is entered greater than 24.
• "P0135: maximum travel speed” if it is entered greater than 2,5 m/s.
73- Detected entry inside shaft: When the shaft entry protection is active, if any of "(SPR*) Shaft entry protection switch Floor-
*" signals are active and the car is not on that floor, this error will be triggered. (Normally there should not be any signal if the
door is closed)
• Check the door contacts and signal positions of SPR programmable inputs.
74- Encoder offset angles could not founded: That error is given when incremental encoder is used for gearless motor. The
encoder connection must be checked according to electrical diagram. If used encoder is absolute encoder the encoder settings
must be checked.
75- CML feedback error: Sometimes a special coil is used under the car when motor brake is not used a solution against UCM.
That coil is energized before movement and de-energized when car stops. The CML input is high when car stops if car starts
moving the input is low. If that input is not used,
Protection and monitoring settings-->shaft/car protection and monitoring-->Car movement lock (CML) monitoring: off.
76- Shaft protection reset key is active: If shaft protection reset input (DOMRS) which is used EN81-21 applications is
activated continuously more than 60 seconds that error is gotten. That input must be activated during reset. It must be de-
energized after reset.
79- Current was over motor limit: Motor current has exceeded the product of the values "(P0159) Nominal motor current".
• Check motor parameters
• Check counterweight
• Make sure you are using a suitable Arcode Power Class device for your application
• Check possible mechanical jammings in the shaft
80- Current was near motor limit continuously: If motor current exceeds over the value which is the multiplication of “P0159”
nominal motor current” and “P0429 motor overcurrent limit” for 6 seconds, it gives this error.
• Check motor parameters
• Check counterweight
• Make sure you are using a suitable Arcode Power Class device for your application
• Check possible mechanical jammings in the shaft
81- Group identity conflict error: If there is a conflict between the elevator identities in the group, it gives this error. “P0086
group identity” should be chosen for all elevators in a right way.
• Give a different ID for each elevator in the group by checking this parameter.
82- Number of stops of all lifts in the group must be same: If “P0002 number of floors” parameter is entered different for the
elevators in the group, it gives this error.
83- APRE could not be unlocked: If “P0788 Apre monitoring” parameter is ON, after brakes are opened, the apre monitoring
input (APRI) should be zero within 3 seconds. Otherwise it gives this error.
84- APRE could not be locked: If “P0788 Apre monitoring” parameter is ON, main contactor output (RP) and Apre triggering
output (APRO) is zero, the apre monitoring input (APRI) should be 1 within the time “P0804 speed governor locking time”
parameter. Otherwise it gives this error.
85- Encoder reference error: "(P0868) Encoder coupling type" is set to "Indirect incremental encoder" and the angle correction
by reference signal exceeded 120 degrees (magnetic)
• Check encoder connections.
• Check encoder-motor mechanical coupling. Encoder wheel might be slipping.
• Check if Z-channel reference signal is correct
86- UCM detected: If door is bridged and 140 or 130 is "0" and if one of ML1 or ML2 is "0", it gives this error.
87- Out of re-level zone: If “P0075” relevelling function” parameter is chosen as “Relevel using 141 and 142 signals”, when
the car waits at floor, if 141 and 142 turn to zero, it gives this error. If “P0075 relevelling function” parameter is chosen as “with
Liftsense”, when the car waits at floor, if the value which is read from Liftsense should be in the interval of +7 cm -7 cm.
Otherwise it gives this error.
88- Overspeed on relevelling: If the speed on relevelling exceeds over the value which is entered “P0814 overspeed error limit
on relevelling” parameter, it gives this error.
89- Could not hold car on starting: While starting to move, if the rotor rotates more than quarter-turn, it gives this error.
• Adjust Anti-rollback PID gains. (KP and KD parameters)
90- Overspeed on pre-opening: While the door is bridged, if the speed of the car exceeds over the value which is entered
“P0813 overspeed error limit on pre-opening” parameter, it gives this error.
91- Shaft is too long: If the shaft is learned wrongly, during shaft learning that error is gotten. If motor speed is entered wrong
or length of any door zone magnets are wrong in shaft or flag length parameter is entered wrong that error is gotten. If any one
is wrong the shaft learning must be perform after problem is fixed.
92- Position tracking error: Especially error rates incremental encoders which are used with KONE motorsa re too high. If the
error rates are higher than expected Arcode gives that error. If that error is gotten standard gearless motor with absolute encoder
position tracking parameter may be disabled. “Pos. Tracking error sensitivity: (P1085) = off”.
93- Maintenance time exceeded: When system time passes the date-time entered in maintenance time “P1006” parameter,
controller raises error. The system goes out of service until the time parameter is taken to a future date-time.
In order to enable “P1006” parameter, firstly “P1005” maintenance time control parameter should be set as “On”.
94- Car light fuse is blown: If 3-phases are OK in Arcode, but there is no voltage value(220V) on IBC-S, it gives this error.
95- Manual rescue (SEV key): If “P0810 Acceptance test tools” parameter is OFF and “MEM” signal is ON, this error occurs.
96- UPS failed on test: If UPS test could not be performed, it gives this error.
• Check the batteries.
97- Direction change limit reached: "(P0964) Direction change count limit" is set to a non-zero value and the direction change
counter has exceeded this value.
• This function is usually used to limit the usage of plastic ropes according to their lifetime. After changing the ropes, set
(P0964) to the next desired limit value.
98- One of critical devices is offline: During normal operation, if connection with a critical device is lost, the controller raises
error. (Triggering of this error may take about 20 seconds) For ex: Photocell (FSLA) input is assigned to one of the programmable
inputs of IBC-S board, and if there is a problem about the communication with IBC-S and main controller, this error is triggered
in normal operation. The critical programmable inputs are shown with red color in the programable input list.
• This error is about EN81-20 norms. Not to receive this error during installation, you should set the “Operation mode”
parameter as “Installation mode”.
99- Rope slip correction error: If parameter of rope slip correction (P1033) is activated, Arcode can correct maximum 100cm
rope slip. If the correction needs more than 100cm Arcode will give this error.
Rope slipping must be decreased.
100- Ext.perm. Error-1(Except/inspection recall): When “(XPE1) Ext.permanent error-1” signal is activated, this error is
raised. Even if this error is active, the elevator still can be used in inspection/recall modes.
Note: This is a permanent error. In order to get rid of the permanent error, look at Page 19.
101- Inspection/Recall terminal connection wrong: When the switches in recall/inspection terminals are turned to “Inspection”
position, the safety circuit 120 signal should be cut-off (until a direction button is pressed).
If, due to a wrong connection, 120 signal is not cut-off during 0.5 seconds after turning an inspection/recall key to “Inspection”
position this error is activated.
• Check recall/inspection terminal connections. Make sure that the inspection switches cut off the safety circuit when in
inspection mode.
102- EN signal not cut-off: In normal operation, when the (EN) signal is active while the car is in standstill, this error occurs.
• Check why the input where the (EN) signal is programmed, got activated when the contactors are deenergized.
• Make sure that the main contactors are working properly and check the contact in possibility of stuck.
• Make sure that there is no bridge between (EN) input and 100 (24VDC).

1. Considerations Before UCM Test

a. Relevant staff should take necessary precautions for the safety of the passengers as well as himself of all actions at risk.
Prevent the elevator run by someone else,
Be sure that there is nobody in the elevator hoist way,
Be sure that all elevator doors are closed.
b. There should exist DBR (Door Bridging) card on Arcode. If there is a bridge between 140-140P inputs on Arcode, this
bridge should be removed.
c. UCM test function exists if the firmware version of Arcode is 20.04.2014 and later. This function should be used for
UCM test. The firmware updating should be done for older versions of the devices. (See Arcode Easy Installation
Manual).
d. In order to simulate the worst load condition in UCM test:
• the empty car is moved in up direction at the top of the shaft (from the one below floor to the top)
• the full loaded car is moved in down direction at the bottom of the shaft (from the one above floor to the bottom)
e. "UCM test function" mode is activated as follows:
Note: While doing the parameter settings, “Quick access feature” of AREM can be used. For this:
• F3 button is pressed while in “Device Parameters” menu.
• The related parameter code is entered. For example: P0069.
• The related parameter is activated by pressing enter button.
• Tools button is pressed on AREM.

• "Device Parameters" screen is entered.
• The following settings is performed in order:
" DBR board functions → Door safety circuit
bridging board (P0069): Installed"
" Door pre-opening settings → Door pre-opening
function (P0071): On"
"Door pre-opening settings → Door pre-opening start
distance (P0072): 20 cm."
" Test functions → Acceptance test tools (P0810): On"
Figure-1: Activating DBR Board Functions Warning: After completing UCM test,
"Acceptance test tools (P0810)" parameter
should be set to "Off".
Figure-2 Activating Acceptance Test Tools

• Esc button is pressed on AREM. Tools screen is turned by

saving the settings.
• "Test tools" screen is entered. "UCM function test" is chosen
and enter button is pressed.
Figure-3 Activating UCM test function

There exist 2 options in the "UCM test function" screen. The
proper test method is chosen for the UCM protection equipment.
• "UCM test on inspection-speed": Test is performed in
inspection speed. This can be used for UCM protection
equipment that do not need full-torque test.
• "UCM test on full-torque": Test is performed with max.
power the system allowed. This option should be used if UCM
test will be done under the worst conditions (by taking into
account the maximum acceleration effect of the driver system
error). Arcode moves the car with max. acceleration by
applying in the indicated direction max. power to the motor
the system allowed.
Figure-4 Choosing the UCM test method

After choosing the UCM test method, the instructions shown in the screen are followed. When “START” is seen in the screen,
60 seconds countdown is started by pressing enter button. The countdown info is shown on Arcode screen (“Ut 59”, “Ut 58”
...) and audible warning is given. During this period, the car should be moved with recall up or recall down button. At the end of
this period, Arcode will automatically exit from "UCM test function" mode.
Figure-5. a: UCM test in inspection speed Figure-5. b: UCM test in full-torque

f. UCM test should be done with doors closed for safety purposes!!!! But open doors should be simulated during testing.
After pressing "START" button (Arcode will bridge the doors). The open doors can be simulated by interrupting 140
signal (landing doors security circuit signal) on KBK-12.
g. During the test, the car should be moved with up or down button on the recall hand terminal.
h. At the end of UCM test, Acode gives “UCM detection error” error and blocks the lift permanently. This error cannot
be cleared even if the power is switched off and on. The system will not turn to the normal run mode without clearing
the permanent error with a special action. To clear the permanent errors, the following actions should be performed:
• Tools button is pressed on AREM.

• "System Tools" screen is entered.
• "Clear permanent error" is chosen and pressed enter
button.
• First, recall key is turned to “INSPECTION” and then
• “NORMAL” mode or power is switched off and on.
Figure-5 Clearing the permanent errors

i. After completing the test, "Device parameters → Test functions → Acceptance test tools (P0810)"parameter is set to
"Off" again. The connections are turned to the previous position.
2. UCM (Unintended Car Movement) Test Procedure

2.1. UCM Test in Up Direction with Empty Car
The following steps should be performed in order.
• Move the car to the one below of the top floor. (See. d).
• Empty the car (See. d).
• Enable "UCM test function" mode (See. e).
• After starting the countdown, remove the connection from terminal 140 on the KBK-12 board (See. f).
• The car is moved by keeping pressed up direction button on the recall hand terminal (See. g).
• After leaving the door zone, door bridging circuit hardware will open, because the 140 signal is interrupted. In this
case, the power of the machine brakes will be also cut off, because the main contactors which are fed by safety circuit
will drop. Emergency UCM stop occurs. Arcode gives “ERROR CODE (PERMANENT):86 UCM DETECTION”
error and the lift are kept out of service permanently.
• The stopping distance is measured. Test is successful if the stopping distance is within acceptable values.
• The power is switched off and on. It is observed that the permanent UCM error continue.
• The permanent error is cleared. (See. h).
• It is observed that the lift turned to the normal run mode.
• Test is finished (See. i).
2.2. UCM Test in Down Direction with Fully Loaded Car
The following steps should be performed in order.
• Move the car to the one above of the bottom floor (See. d).
• Load the car with rated load (See. d).
• Enable "UCM test function" mode (See. e).
• After starting the countdown, remove the connection from terminal 140 on the KBK-12 board (See. f).
• The car is moved by keeping pressed down direction button on the recall hand terminal (See. g)
• After leaving the door zone, door bridging circuit hardware will open, because the 140 signal is interrupted. In this
case, the power of the machine brakes will be also cut off, because the main contactors which are fed by safety circuit
will drop. Emergency UCM stop occurs. Arcode gives “ERROR CODE (PERMANENT):86 UCM DETECTION”
error and the lift is kept out of service permanently.
• The stopping distance is measured. Test is successful if the stopping distance is within acceptable values.
• The power is switched off and on. It is observed that the permanent UCM error continue.
• The permanent error is cleared. (See. h).
• It is observed that the lift turned to the normal run mode
• Test is finished (See. i).

1. Introduction
The self-monitoring of the machine brakes is carried out by checking that each single brake drops at every run, preventing the
next normal start of the lift if dropping fails. After detection a brake malfunction within a certain operation frame, the lift is kept
out of service, even if the main power is switched off and on again. Only a competent person intervention can make the lift to
restore the operation.
2. Firmware Version
Self-monitoring of the machine brakes compliant to +A3 is available with all firmware versions of ARCODE.
3. Connection
The status of the micro-switches (generally two) mounted on each brake is controlled by means of two separated digital inputs.
These inputs are assigned as programmable ARCODE inputs. The micro-switch contacts must be normally close (N.C.). When
brakes are closed, these inputs must be ON.
PI11 and PI12 inputs are set in factory defaults for connection of the brake micro-switches. These inputs are not obligatory. They
can be changed from the menu.
BR1: N.C. contact of 1st brake micro-switch

BR1
PI11 BR2: N.C. contact of 2nd brake micro-switch
BR2
PI12
ARCODE Inputs are ON when brakes are closed.
Inputs are OFF when brakes are open.
100 +24V
4. Parameter Setting
To activate the self-monitoring function of the machine brakes, the following setting is required:
On AREM:
Tools → Device parameters → Protection and monitoring settings → Other protection settings → mechanical brake monitoring:
ON
Tools → Device parameters → Protection and monitoring settings → Other protection settings → mechanical brake-2 monitoring:
ON
Note: These parameters are set to “Off” in factory settings. It should be adjusted as “On” only after wiring the brakes and micro
switches. Otherwise, ARCODE continuously gives error and blocks the lift.
And:
Tools → Device parameters → Programmable inputs → ARCODE controller inputs
PI11: (BRC) Mechanical brake checkback
PI12: (BRC2) Mechanical brake-2 checkback
(Another available programmable inputs can be used. But the connections should be done respectively.)
5. Description of the Self-Monitoring Function

5.1. Self-Monitoring After Stopping
After releasing the brake relay MBR (This is assigned as programmable ARCODE relay outputs PR2), ARCODE waits input
PI11(BRC) and PI12(BRC2) to be activated (24Vdc) within a certain time period. If there is no signal at the end of this period,
ARCODE gives “Er12 Holding of mechanical brake not sensed” error. This is not a permanent blocking error. (*2) It will be
reset after input PI11 and PI12 inputs are activated again (*3) If this error repeats 2 times consecutively (*4), it goes to permanent
error. And on the top of AREM screen you will see “Er12 Holding of mechanical brake not sensed (permanent)”. This blocks
the system.
In order to turn the system to normal running mode, the permanent error must be cleared, then system should be reset:
AREM: Tools → System tools → Clear permanent error
AREM: Tools → System tools → Reset system
5.2. Self-Monitoring Before Starting
After activating the brake relay MBR, ARCODE waits inputs PI11(BRC) and PI12(BRC2) to be de-activated (open circuit)
within a certain time period. If the signal is not de-activated at the end of this period, ARCODE gives “Er13 Release of
mechanical brake not sensed” error. This error is not a permanent blocking error (*2). It will be reset automatically after a certain
time. If this error repeats 2 times consecutively (*4), it goes to permanent error. On the top of AREM screen, you will see “Er13
Release of mechanical brake not sensed (permanent)”. This error is a permanent blocking error and blocks the system
permanently.
In order to turn the system to normal running mode, the permanent error must be cleared, then system should be reset:
AREM: Tools → System tools → Reset system
*2: According to EN 81-1 + A3, when the self-monitoring function detects an error, only a competent person intervention can
make the lift to restore the operation. This error shouldn't be reset even if the main power is switched off and on again. This type
of error is defined as “permanent blocking error” in this document.
*3: This feature is added with the approval of Liftinstituut (NB) in order to avoid unnecessarily blockings of the elevator in case
of accidental error detections. Elevator already will be permanently kept blocked as long as a brake micro switch remains in the
same position.
*4: The error counter is increased each time a malfunction is detected. When the error counter reaches 2 consecutively, it will
be a permanent blocking error.
6. Resetting the Permanent Blocking Error

The permanent errors can’t be cleared even by switching the main power ‘off’ and ‘on’ again. As mentioned above, the permanent
errors can only be cleared by the followings with:
7. Trips
No Message Description
12 Holding of mechanical "(P0045) Mechanical brake monitoring" parameter is set to "On" and brake
brake not sensed relay (MBR) has dropped but (BRC)/(BRC2) inputs are still inactive.
13 Release of mechanical "(P0045) Mechanical brake monitoring" parameter is set to "On" and brake
brake not sensed relay (MBR) has picked but (BRC)/(BRC2) inputs are still active.
8. Testing the Self-Monitoring Function

8.1. PI11(BRC) or PI12(BRC2) Input Open Circuit
No Test Procedure Result
1 While the elevator is idle, disconnect the cable from ARCODE gives “Er12 Holding of mechanical brake not
inputs PI11 sensed” error. This is not a permanent blocking error.
2 Re-connect the cable to input PI11 Error will be reset automatically.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 respectively ARCODE gives the same error number with
‘permanent’. Because this is the 2nd error consecutively.
It blocks system permanently.
4 Re-connect the cable to input PI11 ARCODE continues to give the same error.
5 Turn the main power off and on again. ARCODE continues to give the same error.
6 AREM: Tools → System Tools → Clear permanent Error will be reset and ARCODE will start to operate in
error normal mode.
AREM: Tools → System Tools → Reset System (*5)
7 Repeat the same steps for PI12(BRC2)
8.2. PI11(BRC) or PI12(BRC2) input short circuit (+24V)

No Test Procedure Result
1 While the elevator is idle, make a bridge from terminal
100(+24V) to input PI11
2 Give a command ARCODE gives “Er13 Release of mechanical brake

not sensed” error. 1st error is not a permanent
blocking error. Error will be reset automatically.
3 Give another command ARCODE gives the same error number with
‘permanent’. Because this is the 2nd error
consecutively. It blocks system permanently.
4 Remove the bridge from input PI11 ARCODE continues to give the same error.
5 Turn the main power off and on again. ARCODE continues to give the same error.
6 AREM: Tools → System Tools → Clear permanent Error will be reset and ARCODE will start to operate
error in normal mode.
AREM: Tools → System Tools → Reset System (*5)
7 Repeat the same steps for PI12(BRC2)
*5: Alternative ways for "Reset System" are:
• switching ARCODE's power OFF and then ON again or,
• turning the Recall switch to "1" position and then back to "0" position.

Arcode Instructions for Level Fine-Tuning Using The COP Command Buttons V1.10
1. Overview
This document defines the operation for level fine-tuning using the COP command buttons. This operation is made by using COP
command buttons on AREM for equalizing the door threshold level with the cabin. For this operation the situations given below,
must be considered.
• Tuning mode can only be used when a door-bridging board (DBR) is installed in the system.
• Tuning can only be activated when the controller is in normal service mode.
• Tuning mode will be inactivated if:
• AREM is disconnected
• ENTER button or ESC button on AREM is pressed
• Tuning is not used for 5 minutes
• Controller exits normal service mode for any reason (errors, inspection operation etc.)
2. General Operation
• Enter “Level fine tune” screen in the Tools menu of AREM. Select "Fine-tuning using COP command buttons" option
and press “enter”.
• Press “enter” to activate tuning mode. Check that "Fine tune mode: ON" is displayed on the screen. In this mode, the
LOP calls are disabled and the doors will stay open until a car command is given.
• Leave the AREM connected and get inside the car.
• Give a car command to a floor which will be fine-tuned. Wait until car stops on that floor and opens the doors.
• Press and hold the "door-open" button after the car stops.
• After 3 seconds, the LEDs of the first floor and second floor command buttons will start to flash. This indicates that the
system is in level fine-tuning mode.
• While holding the "door-open" button pressed, press first floor button to move the car upwards or second floor button
to move the car downwards. Movement of the car will be very slow (3 mm/s).
• By moving the car up or down while observing the door, adjust the car sill to be flush to the landing sill.
• Release the "door-open" button for Arcode to memorize the position of this landing. All car command button leds will
flash once to indicate that position is memorized.
• Give a car command to the next landing you want to tune and repeat the previous 5 steps . Each landing must be tuned
2 times. Once for upwards approach and once for downwards approach. Repeat the tuning for each landing for both
directions.
• Fine-tuning settings will be recorded according to the direction of the last movement of the car. For example, when you
travel from 3rd floor to 4th floor and make fine-tuning, because the latest move is upwards, the car will be tuned for
upwards approach. To tune the downwards approach of floor 4, the car should travel from an upper floor (e.g. the 5th
floor).
• When all tunings are done, press “enter” on AREM and deactivate the level fine-tune mode. Press ESC and exit the
tuning screen on AREM.
 WARNING: During "Fine-tuning using COP command buttons" operation, keep away from the car doors and do not allow
any living creatures to approach the car doors.

1. Introduction
There are 3 factors in PID controllers. (KP: Proportional Gain, KI: Integral Gain, KD: Derivative Gain coefficients.) These are
the gain coefficients of closed loop systems. KP and KI gains can be change according to motor characteristics and mechanical
factors of elevator. Therefore, it’s not possible to arrange a constant PID gain coefficients.

2. Anti-Rollback Function
Anti-rollback function is used to keep the Elevator in stand still position from releasing of the brakes until the start of movement.
This function creates enough force against to gravity by using motor to hold cabinet to prevent passengers feel falling for a
moment after the motor mechanical brakes are released.
Note: if the motor type is synchronous and elevator passenger capacity
more than 600 kg, we advise to use Loadcell with analog (current/voltage)
output to solve roll back of the elevator. See Appendix-1
Roll-back at the

Before arranging Anti-Roll back settings: Load balance must be checked. Car is loaded with half load of the nominal load
then the elevator should be moved to middle of elevator shaft. (counterweight and cabin should
be in same level).

both directions. Then, you can be sure that
counterweight balance is correct. If any direction is harder
than another one that means it was not balanced.
• If the cabin goes downward, you should add weights on the counterweight the system gets balanced.
• If the cabin goes upward you should remove weights from counterweight until the system gets balanced.

After checking cabin balance, go to next step... weight capacity
• Make sure that the skates (car and counterweight) are not too tight on the rails and that they are oiled properly.
• If possible, observe the skates in inspection mode when starting the movement to see if there is any backlashing on the
skates.
• Then to find the Proper value of Anti-roll back PID gains to your system try to change (KP and PD) as below:
From AREM hand terminal: Go to:
”Device parameters”→”Driver settings”→”anti rollback function”: “ON “
Then
“Device parameters”→”Driver settings”→”PID control settings”→
“anti-rollback PID gains→
KP gain on antirollback : 5000 → 6000→7000→ …X
KD gain on antirollback : 2500 → 3000→3500→ …X/2
You should increase KP and KD gains step by step until roll back is over.
• Or if there is uncomfortable sound and vibration from the motor, anti-roll
back should be decreased until you reach proper value
“Device parameters”→”Driver settings”→”PID control settings”→anti rollback PID gains→
-KP gain on antirollback : X... 900010000…
Note: KD value should be half of KP.
-KD gain on antirollback : X/2... 45005000…
• Only in synchronous motors (when ENCA board is used) encoder accurate reading parameter will be helping to
minimize Rollback at start. Encoder reading parameter can be activated from below parameter:
“Device parameters”→”Driver settings”→ “Travel curve settings”→ (P0988) Anti-rollback (P1117) Encoder reading for
anti-rollback:Accurate.
Note: This parameter should be arranged after arranging anti-rollback PIDs to optimum value as mentioned in above steps.
Note: If you cannot find mentioned parameter you should make firmware update with latest Arcode version. For more details,
please check Arcode Firmware update documentation

Also, you can arrange the lift comfort- performance of by below parameter:

• If you want to lift starts to run with more comfort, you can arrange it as
Tools→device parameters→driver settings→travel curve settings→comfort level: comfort:5 / performance:1
Note: factory default value is: comfort3 /perfomace:3
Appendix-1
For above 600 kg capacity elevators we suggest to be used pre-torque function which provides required torque to the system
according to data that comes from loadcell.
4. Pre-torque function
The anti-rollback function inside the controller has a PID which attempts to find the correct balancing force for the current load.
But this calculation can only be done only after a slight movement of the car. Because PID needs feedback information from the
encoder and encoder can give this only after the motor slightly moves.
Although the encoder is very sensitive and PID calculation is very fast, in some elevator configurations, this balancing action
cannot be performed fast enough to be unnoticeable (due to big motor sheave size, weight of the car, etc..) and the rollback may
be felt by the passengers inside the car. For those cases, the pre-torque function can be used to improve the anti-rollback function.
The downside of using the pre-torque function is that it needs special hardware, a load sensor, to be installed under the car.
(which increases the overall cost of the system) When used, the pre-torque function can predict the direction and the magnitude
of the balancing force before releasing the brakes because it can now approximately calculate the required torque needed to keep
the car in balance (with the information from. The load sensor) In the following graphs, two identical travels are shown with and
without the pre-torque function.
4.1. Loadcell Wiring Diagram

If you have loadcell with analog current output, you should make connections as below:
If you have loadcell with analog voltage output, you should make connections as below:
4.2. How to setup the pre-torque function

After loadcells connections are done according to diagrams on Page-8
Activate pre-torque function from AREM hand terminal:
Go to :”Device parameters”→”Driver settings”→”anti rollback function”: “ON “
“Device parameters”→”Driver settings”→” Pre-torque settings”→”Pre-torque function”: “enabled“.
• If you have loadcell with analog current output:

“Device parameters”→”Driver settings”→” Pre-torque settings”→” pre-torque function”: “Weight sensor with
Analogue-Current output”
• If you have loadcell with analog current output:

” Device parameters”→”Driver settings”→” Pre-torque

• Then check status on AREM screen Press “info”

button→”Input/output states”→press “down” button you will
see according to loadcell that you have:

1. Overview
Arcode Arpass function provides the ability to passcode-protect access to floors.
With Arpass, the administrator of the building is able to define passcode with command buttons or with an external card reader.
If the Arpass function is wanted to be controlled by button, different passcodes for each floor (and door) can be defined with the
help of command buttons on the COPs. Leaving some of the floors as non-passcode-protected is also possible. If it is wanted to
be controlled by a card reader, access to the desired floor can be given for the cards which have different IDs; and access can be
prevented for the users which do not have the card or the authorize for the floor specified by the user’s card.
Passcode-entries for accessing protected floors, are done via the normal car operation panel if the button control is selected as
Arpass function or via RFID reader if the card access control as Arpass function.
2. Features
1. Arpass function has 2 different operation types:
• Passcode entry using COP
• Entry using Wiegand-26 Bit protocol compatible magnetic card (Card reader connection is needed)
2. Limits access to floors by requiring a passcode before accepting a COP command.
3. Ability to set separate passcodes to floors in button control. If magnetic card is selected, each floor can be defined to
multiple cards.
4. No additional hardware needed for button control. For magnetic card, RFID reader and user’s cards are needed.
5. On floors with two-entries, setting separate passcodes for each door is also possible in case there are two COP boards
(one for each door).
6. Passcodes can be set / changed / removed by the building administrators using the car command buttons of the COP in
button control or using the master card with ID defined over AREM in magnetic card control.
7. Unused button sockets on the CPC(or CPC-T) boards can also be used as passcode entry buttons.
Note: Wiegand-26 Protocol
Wiegand Protocol (also known as Wiegand interface), is a wiring standard in access control systems and card readers. It is based
on transmission of the information of the card it reads via data cables. Wiegand protocol has several variations, however in this
project, 26-Bit variation is used. Make sure that the card reader device and cards which you will use, are 26-Bit.
3. Limitations
1. Arpass function is a paid software feature and requires a “Feature License Key” to be purchased from ARKEL to be
activated. Each purchased license key is specific to one Arcode device and can only be used on that device.
2. Arpass function can be used only when an ARKEL CPC(or CPC-T) car panel controller board is used as the COP
controller. At this time, the function is not available with other 3 rd-party Arcode-compatible COP boards.
3. The maximum number of floors supported is 24 if a CPC board is used and 16 if a CPC-T board is used. Floors with
two entries are supported in case there is a dedicated COP board for each of the entries (A & B sides). If there are two
entries on a floor and only a single CPC board is used, the door entries cannot be assigned to separate passcodes.
4. Due to the nature of lift installations, generally it is not impossible to physically access internal electronics and control
systems for a determined attacker. Although Arpass provides a basic level of tamper-resistance, it cannot be used as the
main or single security solution for protection of property.
4. Instructions for Passengers

When a passenger presses the command button of a floor:
If that floor is NOT passcode-protected, the command is directly accepted and the car travels to the commanded floor.
If that floor is passcode-protected:
If COP control is selected
• The pressed command button starts to flash and an audible signal is sounded from COP speaker to indicate that a
passcode entry is required.
• If the passenger knows the passcode and enters it via the COP command buttons within 5 seconds, the command is
accepted. This is indicated by an audible signal and the led of the related command button lights up.
• If no passcode is entered within 5 seconds, flashing of the command button stops and the command is ignored.
• If a wrong passcode is entered, an audible rejection signal is sounded and the command is rejected. For 5 seconds, no
car commands can be given (this is to slow-down password entry if someone tries to break the passcode by trial-error)
If magnetic card control is selected

• Before pressing the passcode-protected floor’s button, the card auhorized for that floor must be scanned.
• If the card is not be scanned, the landing call is rejected.
• If the card is scanned but has no authorize, the landing call is rejected.
• If any registry of the requested floor does not exist for any card, the call is accepted.
5. Instructions for Administrator User

Arpass function has 2 different operation types:
• Passcode entry using COP
• Entry using Wiegand-26 Bit protocol compatible magnetic card
Switch between these options and activating the Arpass function are made in AREM tools menu, Device Parameters → Special
Elevators Functions → Arpass Function. In this screen; master card ID for card entry, master passcode for COP control and floor
passcodes character numbers can also be defined. At the same time, Arpass function can also be disabled with the help of a
switch which connected to an input adjusted as a programmable input.
Note: SD card must be added in the Arcode for the using of the magnetic card control. This is required for the registration of
card IDs. Otherwise the card control system will not work properly.
5.1. If COP control is selected
Having a master passcode, the administrator of the building can change the floor passcodes or disable them by using the COP
buttons without needing any tools or assistance from the elevator technicians.
To change the floor passcode settings; the administrator has to
• Enter into setting mode,
• Make the changes on floor passcodes and
• Exit setting mode by saving changes.
Exact procedures for those operations are given below:
- To enter passcode setting mode
• Press and hold the door-open button
• Enter the master-passcode
• Release the door-open button
If the entered master-passcode is correct, the door-open button led will start to flash and a periodic beep will be heard indicating
that passcode setting mode is active. If the entered passcode is incorrect, no response is given.
- To set the passcode for a floor
• While in passcode setting mode, press the command button of the floor to be set. Floor button led will start flashing and
an audible signal will be heard.
• Enter the passcode (number of button presses must be the same as what was set on AREM parameters)
• Release the door-open button.
• If the number of button presses is the same as what was set on AREM parameter, a confirmation sound will be heard
and passcode of the floor will be temporarily set.
• If the number of button presses is wrong or if the passcode is a weak passcode (see note below), a rejection sound will
be heard and the passcode setting will be ignored.
• Repeat these steps for each floor to be assigned a passcode.
- To remove the passcode of a floor
• While in passcode setting mode, press the command button of the floor to be set. Selected floor button led will start
flashing and an audible signal will be heard.
• Press the door-open button for 5 to 10 seconds and release.
• Flashing of the selected floor button led will stop and passcode will be removed.
- To exit passcode setting mode saving the changes
• Make sure that no floor is selected (flashing). (If a floor led is flashing, press its button once to stop flashing)
• Enter the master-passcode
• Release the door-open button
• If the entered passcode is correct, all buttons’ leds will flash 2 times and a confirmation sound will be heard. This
indicates that the passcodes are saved.
- To exit passcode setting mode without saving the changes
• Make sure that no floor is selected (flashing). (If a floor led is flashing, press its button once to stop flashing)
• Press the door-open button for 5 to 10 seconds and release.
• Flashing of the door-open button led will stop. The changes you have made will be ignored and all passcodes will revert
to the state as was before entering passcode setting mode.
Note on weak passcodes
The following types of passcodes are considered to be too weak and cannot be used in Arpass function. If the administrator tries
to set these passwords for any floor, they will be rejected.
a) Passcodes consisting of a single number. Examples: 111111, 2222, 88888
b) Passcodes with the same difference between each number. Examples: 123456, 2468, 54321, 7531
5.2. If magnetic card control is selected

The administrator of the building can change or cancel the floor authorties of the card, just scanning the card described as the
master card over AREM and using COP buttons without the help of any device or technician.
To change the floor passcode settings; the administrator has to
• If not exist, insert the SD card to the Arcode,
• Enter into setting mode,
• Make the changes in the autothrities of the card
• Exit setting mode by saving changes.
- To enter passcode setting mode
• Scan the card which described as master card over AREM
If the scanned card is master card; a periodic bip voices indicates that the passcode setting mode is active. Otherwise, no response
is taken.
- To give/delete an authorization to a card for floor
• Firstly, if there is no SD card in the Arcode, insert the SD card.
• Scan the card in passcode setting mode. After scanning, the passcode setting mode’s voice will change. After the master
card is scanned, if the required card is not be scanned in 10 seconds, the setting mode will close automatically. After
every card scanning, the counter restarts beginning with 0. And after the card, to be processed is scanned, there is no
10-second-limitation.
• If the card is being defining for the first time, all floor LEDs will light up and there will be access for all floors. LEDs
of the floors not to be authorized, will be lighted off by pressing the buttons, in short they will be unauthorized.
• If it is a previously defined card, select the floors to be authorized to the card. The button LEDs of the authorized floors
will light up.
• If there is an authorization to be deleted, select the related floor. After clearing the related button LED will turn off.
• After the authorization process with the card. Scan the same card again.
• If there is another card to be authorized, repeat the same steps.
- To delete athorizations assaigned to a card
• Scan the card in passcode setting mode. After scanning, the passcode setting mode’s voice will change.
• The authorized floor LEDs will light up. Press the floor buttons to be deleted.
• The pressed button LEDs will turn off and the authorizations will be deleted.
• After this process, scan the same card again and return the passcode settings mode.
- To exit passcode setting mode saving the changes
• Exit the passcode settings mode via scanning the card again after giving or deleting the authorization.
• In passcode settings mode, after 10 seconds without any operation, the settings mode will automatically close.
Note: When a floor is defined to any card, that floor will be special. In other words, it will be the floor that only certain people
are asked to enter. For that reason, there will be no access to these kind of floors without a card or with an unauthorized card and
the landing calls will be rejected.
6. Settings to be Made on AREM Parameter Menu

In order for Arpass to work,
1. Acquire an Arpass Feature License Key from ARKEL Feature Licensing web page. (Procedures for purchasing and
acquiring feature license keys are described in “ARKEL Licensed Features” document.)
2. On AREM, enter the Arpass License key in parameter “(P1163) ARPASS Feature License Code”. (Note: Each license
key is specific to one Arcode device and will only work on that device. A separate license key must be purchased for
each device.)
3. Set the parameter “(P1158) Arpass function enabled” to “Yes”.
4. Determine an 8-key passcode as the master passcode and enter it into the parameter “(P1159) Master passcode”. Each
character in this parameter represents a COP button connected to one of the COP sockets. For details on setting the
master-passcode, please see section “Setting the Master Passcode”
5. Determine the number of passcode digits for the floors and set it on the parameter “(P1161) Number of digits of
passcodes”
7. Setting the Master Passcode for COP Control

Master passcode is set as an 8-character text in the parameter “(P1159) Master passcode”. Each character of this text represents
a floor socket number on the CPC board. The character name of each socket is given in the image below.
Example:
Let’s consider an elevator with 15 stops where the COP buttons are labeled and connected to CPC board sockets as below:
Socket#1 P2
Socket#2 P1
Socket#3 L
Socket#4 1
Socket#5 2
Socket#6 3
Socket#7 4
Socket#8 5
Socket#9 6
Socket#10 7
Socket#11 8
Socket#12 9
Socket#13 10
Socket#14 11
Socket#15 T
In this example, if we want to make the master-passcode to be this: P1 – 5 – 7 – 9 – 2 – 10 – P1 – T Then we need to set the
parameter (P1159) text to: “28AC5D2F”
8. Card Reader CPC Connection

Note: Before the card reader connection; if exist, R93 and R94 resistors on the CPC board must be removed. Otherwise, the
system will not work.
Note: After R93 and R94 resistors removed, 24V must not be given to PI2 and PI3 inputs. Otherwise, CPU can be damaged.
Firstly, card reader supply should be done as stated in the user manual. Ground connection should be made from CPC board.
Although, there are 5 cables in the card reader, but this can change. In these cables;
• Data0 cable should be connected to PI3 input and
• Data1 cable should be connected to PI2 input.

1. Arcode PLC Module Guide Below is a time-chart explaining the operation of On-delay
and Off-delay:
1.1. PLC Program:
The program consists of at most 64 lines of assignment
operations.
All program lines are executed every 0.01 seconds.
Execution starts at line-1 and ends at line-64.
Every program line is in the following format:
LINE_NO: RESULT <= (NOT_1) OPERAND1
OPERATOR (NOT_2) OPERAND2
NOT-1: If we want to invert OPERAND1, we may use this
by checking its checkbox.
NOT-2: If we want to invert OPERAND2, we may use this
by checking its checkbox.
Every program line is a logical operation having 2 operands
and the result of the operation (either 0 or 1) is written into 1.3. PLC Inputs:
the result field. PLC module can get its 16 available inputs from two
OPERAND1 and OPERAND2 fields may have the sources.
following values: • PLC inputs may be connected internally to Arcode
• 0: Logical 0 constant programmable output functions by using the "PLC
• 1: Logical 1 constant Inputs" group of PLC module. So that, for
• in1...in16: Input-1...16 example, the Car Light output function of Arcode
may be used as an input to the PLC module.
• mem1...mem16: Memory bit 1...16
• In Arcode programmable input functions settings:
• to1...to8: Timer-1...8 output
Function “500.1:(PLCI1) PLC Input-1” to
RESULT field may have the following values: “500.16:(PLCI16) PLC Input-16”
• -----: No operation
Using this method, PLC inputs may be gathered from any
• out1...out16: Output-1...16
of the programmable inputs of devices connected to the
• mem1...mem16: Memory bit 1...16
CANbus.
OPERATOR field may have the following values: Note: If a PLC input is set to more than one physical input,
• &&: Returns 1 if both OPERANDs are 1 (AND) its value will be the logical OR of all input signals.
• //: Returns 1 if any of the OPERANDs are 1 (OR)
1.4. PLC Outputs:
• ==: Returns 1 if OPERAND1 and OPERAND2 are The 16 available PLC outputs may be sent to any physical
equal (XNOR) programmable output by using the programmable output
• ! =: Returns 0 if OPERAND1 and OPERAND2 are functions of Arcode:
equal (XOR) Function “500.1:(PLCO1) PLC Output-1” to
• ! &: Returns 0 if both OPERANDs are 1 (NAND) “500.16:(PLCO16) PLC Output-16”
• ! /: Returns 0 if any of the OPERANDs are 1 Using this method, PLC outputs may be sent to any
(NOR) programmable outputs of devices connected to CANbus.
Note: A PLC output may be sent to many outputs at the
1.2. PLC Timer Settings:
PLC module contains 8 timers. Every timer has 1 input and same time.

Timers are used to On-delay and/or Off-delay signals. On- other than Arcode mainboard, slight delays may occur due
delay and Off-delay times may be adjusted independently. to CANbus communication. So they should not be used in
this way for safety critical purposes.
Examples:
• Logically AND'ing 3 inputs:
01: mem1 <= in1 && in2
02: out1 <= in3 && mem1
• Flip-Flop with Enable Input:

This document has been created to be a guide for Arkel customers. Reproduction, transfer, distribution or storage of part or all of
the contents in this document in any form without the prior written permission of Arkel is prohibited. Arkel reserves the right to
make changes and improvements to any of the products described in this document without prior notice.
1. Pit Entry Reset Procedure

According to EN81-20, when a person enters the shaft pit and turns the pit-inspection key switch to “INS” position, a manual
reset is needed for the lift to resume normal operation even if the pit-inspection switch is returned to “NORM” position.
There are 2 methods for resetting this “Pit-Entered Mode” on Arcode:
1.1. Method-1: With a Physical Key
A normally open key-switch must be connected to one of the programmable inputs of Arcode or its peripherals. This
programmable input must be assigned to “(IPR) Reset pit-inspection” function in the parameter menu.
For resetting, the key must be turned to ON (closed) position and be kept there. Arcode will attempt to close the doors if opened,
will energize the LIR (retiring cam) output and check for 140 signal. If 140 signal is ON, Arcode will resume normal operation
after 5 seconds. The key must then be released to OFF position.
1.2. Method-2: Without a Physical Key
This method can only be used in lifts working in simplex mode (not connected to other lifts in a group). For resetting, the call
button of the lowest floor LOP must be pressed in a special pattern.
The pattern is:
• Quickly push the LOP call button 3 times
• Give a pause
• Give a pause
After sensing this pattern, Arcode will attempt to close the doors if opened, will energize the LIR (retiring cam) output and check
for 140 signal. If 140 signal is ON, Arcode will resume normal operation.

1. To copy the firmware to the AREM SD card

Copy the firmware file that you have downloaded from ARKEL website or you got from ARKEL’s Technical Support
Department, into the AREM SD card. The downloaded firmware file should be copied to the “firmware” folder in the SD Card.
After the SD Card is plugged into the computer or to the smartphone via and SD Card dongle, copy the file to the mentioned
folder.
Go to → AREM SD Card folder → arcode → system → firmware
2. To update Arcode
Tools → Firmware Update;
The firmware on the top is the latest firmware. After selecting, press ENTER to start update.
Update is done because of two reasons.

The first one is to make a firmware update (improvements, new features, bugfixes etc.).
The second reason is, when a new peripheral is connected to the Arcode Systems CANbus line an update must be performed so
the new added peripheral has the same version with Arcode. Every device connected to the CANbus line should have the same
version with Arcode, otherwise the device will not work.
3. To access the Identification Code for Arcode PUK Code

After entering "Tools" menu with "Guest Mode" (Guest Mode: after pressing Tools button on the main screen, AREM will show
three access keys. The third key on the right side is the Guest key for accessing Guest mode, with access limitation on settings
and parameters, with no password need) and go to menu "System Tools → Access with PUK code". There you can find the
Identification Code of Arcode. Enter there the PUK code. After entering go directly to "Device Parameters → Password settings".
There you can see your present password. You can change it, or you can continue using your present password.
*When the password for the Tools menu got forgotten, the ID number must be shared with the Technical Support Department,
so they can send you the PUK code which is needed to see your present password or for changing it under “Device Parameters”.
4. To save the Parameters to SLOT

Tools → SD Card Operation → Parameters: Controller to SD card;
Select an empty SLOT. After selecting press Enter to save;
After saving, the SLOT file is saved in AREM SD card under the folder;
AREM SD Card folder → arcode → params.
When a change is applied to the system settings or parameters and if because of any reason you want to return to a previous state
of the system, before change apply you can create a SLOT file where every setting and parameter is saved.
Or when you need to transfer all the settings and parameters to the same class of Arcode for replacement, you can create a SLOT
file and install it to the new Arcode.
And, when technical support is needed, the Technical Support Department can ask you for the SLOT file in order to analyze
your systems settings and parameters.
5. To install the Parameters from SLOT

Tools → SD Card Operation → Parameters: SD card to controller;
Select the SLOT. After selecting press Enter to install.
After a change is applied to the systems settings or parameters and if something goes wrong or not in the right direction needed,
the previous status can be reinstalled with the SLOT file. After selecting the SLOT file which has been saved before change
application, press enter to reinstall. Or if for some reason Arcode needs to be replaced with an Arcode of the same class, simply
install this SLOT file when you install the new Arcode for transferring the settings and parameters in a fast way.
6. To activate and install PLC module

After creating a PLC program with the “Arcode Parameter Editor” save the file with a name like SLOT7 or SLOT15.
Or you may get a slot file from Technical Support Department according to your request.
This slot file must be copied into AREM SD card;
AREM SD Card folder → arcode → PLC;
After copying the file into the AREM SD card, the first thing to do is to active PLC module in the system. For activating;
Tools → Device Parameters → Special Elevator Functions → PLC module: ON;

After activating, to install the written PLC module to the system;
Tools → SD Card Operations → PLC program: SD card to Controller;
Select the PLC SLOT. After selecting press Enter to install.
PLC modules are needed when a special function is requested that cannot be done with standard Arcode parameters.
7. To return the parameters to a previous state

To return to a previous state;
Tools → SD Card Operations → Return parameters to a previous state;
Select a specific date/time to return to a previous state.
If you make changes to any setting or parameter in the Arcode system, Arcode maintains a record for each change you make. In
this way after making changes if you encounter a problem with the parameters you can return the system to a previous state even
if you did not save the parameters as a SLOT file. These records are kept under the “backup” folder in the AREM SD card. These
records are created after the changes are saved. This way you can switch/return/restore to an older state if you experience a
problem.
8. To return to the factory settings

Tools → Return to Factory Settings;
Select either “Synchronous Factory settings” if a synchronous motor is used in the system or “Induction Factory Settings” if an
induction motor is used.
We return to the factory settings from this menu. After resetting to the factory settings, every parameter and setting is deleted,
so a new installation is required. When it is required, we recommend returning to factory defaults when there is a malfunction in
the system because of anomaly in the parameters. The Arcode EPROM completely erases and reloads the default information
on the EPROM.
The following screen gives you two options for returning to the factory settings. Back to factory settings as a synchronous or
asynchronous motor. Whichever of them you choose, the device parameters are preset for you according to the motor type, so
you do not have to adjust specific parameters.
9. To make fast access to a parameter with the parameter code

Go to Tools → Device Parameter;
Press “F3” button;
Enter the parameter code;
Press “Enter” button.
When you are in the “Device Parameter” menu, press the “F3” button. After pressing, a pop-up screen will open, where you can
enter the parameter code. After entering the parameter code with the cursor buttons, press the “Enter” button. After pressing, the
related parameter will be directly shown.
All the parameters in the “Device Parameters” menu, has a specific parameter code. These codes are not shown on the AREM
tool when you are in the menu. For example, when you are reading an Arcode manual and you see there a code of a parameter
or you get this information ARKEL Technical Support you can fast access with this code.
All codes can be check from the “Arcode Parameter Editor” program.
10. To change the contact type of an input/output signal

Go to Tools → Device Parameter → Programmable Inputs or Device Parameters → Programmable Outputs;
Program a signal to an Input / Output;
After pressing “Enter” (assigning the signal to the Input/Output) then press the “F2” button;
Select the contact type and press again “Enter”.
Important to note is that not all Input / Output signals has the option to select the contact type. Signals which contact type cannot
be selected works as a NO contact.
11. To assign a signal to a specific floor

Go to Tools → Device Parameter → Programmable Inputs or Device Parameters → Programmable Outputs;
Program a signal (a signal with a * sign) to an Input / Output;
After assigning the signal to the Input / Output (not pressing yet the “Enter” button) then press the “Right” or “Left” button;
Press the “Right” or “Left” button until the desired floor number is reached.
Important to note is that not all Input / Output signals has the option to be assigned to a specific floor. The signals which has this
option has a “*” sign. When a signal with a “*” signal is not assigned to a specific floor, then the “*” sign means that it is assigned
to all floors.
12. To make a pit reset with the bottom floor LOP button
This function was added to the Arcode firmware 19120900 or later.
So, in order to have this function in the system, make sure that the latest Arcode software is installed.
If not, please update the system. For this, refer to the subject “To update Arcode”.
To make pit reset, you should press bottom floor LOP button 3 times at short intervals and repeat it 3 times.
Important to note is that this reset function will not work for elevators with group control (duplex etc.).
Also important to note that there is no special parameter setting required to enable/disable the reset function. It is ready to be
used.
After the LOP reset is done successfully, a confirmation can be seen by the LOP LED lighting for 5 seconds.
