 How to “Teach in the SALSIS unit:
1. To drive the car on recall you will need to use the “Install Mode” On the MX-GC there is
a JMOF switch to toggle it to Install mode. On the MX7.2 you will need to LOGIN to the
SMLCD – Commands – Services – MOF to turn Install Mode on [The Lift Status will
indicate “INSTALL”]

2. Access the SALSIS unit and press the two buttons together on the AC GSI main sensor
for at least 2 seconds.

3. Using the RECALL buttons drive the car down to the buffer then up until the Counterweight hits
the buffer then back down so you can access the car if required [ This process allows the SALSIS
to learn the floor magnet positions] Verify that the blue LUET LED lights up as you pass each
floor.

Measuring Travel (Learn Run)

1. The car can be positioned at any point within the normal travel range.
2. Activate the measuring travel on the SMLCD – see step 3.
3. Login – Commands – Special Trips – JLF – OK.
4. Measuring travel will terminate the SALSIS teach in mode automatically.
5. Now follow the instructions on the SMLCD.
6. Set JMOF/MOF to 0
7. Set JRH to NORMAL and the car will start the learn run.
8. Once complete the car will indicate NORMAL status on the SMLCD.
9. Call the car to the top floor and then after checking inside the car place on RECALL.
10. GOTO to Commands – Drive End Commission -OK (this saves any changes you have made)
11. Return car to normal and test run.

Handy Tip: If you GOTO Commands – Special Trips – KFM then set to ON you can then stop the doors from opening and
take the car out of the group – handy for testing, just don’t forget to turn off !
