3. DIP SWITCHES AND PUSH BUTTONS
3.1 DIP SWITCHES FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
For any change made to the DIP switches to take effect (except DIP switch 3), the power has to be turned OFF
and then ON again. Alternatively, changes of the DIP switches can be made when the power is OFF.

Selects operating mode:
OFF = AC1, AC2 speed or VVVF
ON = Hydraulic
Selects door type:
OFF = Automatic door
ON = Swinging door
3.2 ON-BOARD DISPLAY AND PUSH BUTTONS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Three push buttons are used to simplify the access of the main menu. The first page in the menu displays the
status of the elevator. The following three pages are used to access the historical of faults. The last page is used to
initiate a homing trip. The NEXT and PREV buttons are respectively used to scroll downwards and upwards in the
five pages menu. SELECT is used to access the function or information within the menu item. No functions are
associated with the first item in the menu (i.e. Page 1). The following table describes the Main Menu along with all
its functions:

SELECT displays the most recent error in memory. The error code is displayed on two leftmost
digits and the floor on which the error occurred is displayed on the rightmost digit. The error code
and the floor are separated by a decimal point. noE is displayed if there are no errors in memory.
PREV displays the previous error in memory. If no previous errors exist, the display returns to Err.
NEXT displays the errors in memory in the opposite direction of PREV.
SELECT displays the count of level II errors in memory2. noF is displayed if there are no level II
errors.
SELECT clears all errors from memory. don is displayed to indicate the completion of this task.
SELECT initiates a homing trip

3.2.1 ON-BOARD CALL REGISTRATION FUNCTION

The operator can give calls using the push buttons to test the lift. The display has to be on Page 1. Lift has to be in
normal operation with no faults. The display shows FL#. Press SELECT, the display will show Fr# with # blinking.
Use the PREV and NEXT push buttons to change the floor selection. Once the desired floor is displayed, press
SELECT push button. The call for this floor is registered and the appropriate led will light on the board as well as in
the car. The lift will proceed to serve this call. If no buttons are pressed in 5 seconds, the # will stop blinking and
will show the floor information. To exit the call registration mode, press the SELECT push button for 3 seconds.
The board will also exit the call registration mode if no buttons are pressed for 1 minute.
3.2.2 ON-BOARD INSPECTION OPERATION
When in inspection mode, NEXT and PREV push button act as INSP_DN and INSP_UP inputs respectively. The
INSP_DN and INSP_UP inputs have higher priority and will override the NEXT and PREV push buttons.

A blank screen appears with a decimal point on the first digit. Use the INC and DEC push buttons to set the first
digit of the code. Use OK to enter it. The digit is instantaneously replaced by c. A decimal point on the second
digit prompts you to enter the second digit of the code by repeating the above procedure. Repeat this process until
all six digits are entered. If you make a mistake in any digit, follow through till the end and then repeat from the
beginning. If the code is correct, you will be able to access the following menu:

4. VIEWING ERRORS AND ERROR CODE DESCRIPTION
4.1 HOW TO VIEW THE ERRORS
Faults detected by the board are divided into three kinds:
1. Level I faults: faults that block the elevator when they occur. But the elevator can resume operation right after
the fault disappears.
2. Level II faults: faults that can be tolerated for a few occurrences before the elevator is blocked by the board.
The count of level II faults can be accessed in page 3 of the main menu. When the count of level II faults
reaches 10, the board will block the elevator.
3. Level III faults: faults that the board considers to be fatal and will consequently block any further operation of
the elevator.
The last 10 errors can be viewed on page 2 of the main menu1.
4.2 HOW TO CLEAR THE ERRORS
To clear the errors as well as the count of level II faults from memory, go to page 4 of the main menu and
press the SELECT button. Refer to section 3.2.

5. INSTALLATION GUIDE
Step 1

Install and wire the panel according to wiring diagrams provided by the panel assembler.
Double check all connections.

Step 2

Make sure that the board is in the Inspection Mode (Inspection switch should be opened).
Power the panel.
The display of the board may show a downward scrolling minus sign. This is normal and it indicates that the
board does not have a previous car position in memory. As soon as the elevator is switched from inspection to
normal operation, it will make a homing trip and display will show FL0 when the elevator reaches the first stop.
Regardless of what is on the display, if all safety circuits are closed, inspection up and inspection down push
buttons are active (therefore inspection travel only requires the closing of safety circuit). Below is a visual
indication of what the status of the input LEDs should be so that the elevator operates in the inspection mode:
SDFS SDFS EOS EOS SFTY RE CLSE LS LS INSP INSP INSP
UP DN UP DN ON OPN NDLY EO EC EN UP DN

Automatic door1
(Door open)
Automatic door
(Door closed)
Swinging door
Status Irrelevant

Input Inactive (OFF)

Input Active (ON)

Step 3

Using the elevator in the inspection mode, adjust the position of all magnets according to the layout provided
on the Astra v1.0 wiring diagram INPUTS (Sheet 2 of 5), refer to section 6. APPENDIX A.
If you are using bi-stable magnetic switches, proceed with inspection travel to terminal floors to properly set
their contacts.
When you finish, and prior to changing the operating mode from inspection to normal, the inputs should look as
follows (given that elevator is on any intermediate floor and on floor level):
SDFS SDFS EOS EOS SFTY RE CLSE LS LS INSP INSP INSP
UP DN UP DN ON OPN NDLY EO EC EN UP DN

Automatic door
Swinging door
Status Irrelevant

Input Inactive (OFF)

Input Active (ON)

Refer to section 3.3 to set all internal parameters according to the sites requirements.
Refer to section 3.1 to set DIP switches according to the sites requirements.
Change operating mode from INSPECTION to NORMAL. Elevator should proceed with its homing trip and will
stop on the floor level of the first floor.

6. APPENDIX A
This appendix contains all wiring diagrams relevant to assembling the board in a panel.

When an inspection up or down is given, board proceeds by closing the door before moving. Door is then kept closed.
