1. INTRODUCTION
KM-20 controller is an “intelligent” door control board designed for automatic telescopic lift doors with 24VDC reduction
gear motor. It provides advance features for high comfort, high dynamic performance and flexible usage.
• KM-20 provides complete hold of the motor with its 4-region motor control and high resolution encoder input hardware.
• In addition to this hardware, it allows swift but comfortable motion of doors with its software that provides S-softening
in travel ramps and which has the algorithm that does not require limit switches.
• It provides features for auto-learning of door travel limits without open-close limit switches.
• In order to work with the control panels in complete harmony it can generate “Doors are completely open”, “Doors are
fully closed” and “Obstruction or photocell detected” signals. These signals enable it to work for fire lift doors.
• A nudging function is included with buzzer sound and slow speed closing after a long time photocell interrupt.
• In case of mains failure, it can get the power from batteries or 24VDC external supply. The emergency supply type can
be selected easily via a jumper on board.
• KM-20 protects the battery from over-charge with a smart battery charge system. After an emergency opening with
battery supply, KM-20 goes into sleep mode and protects the batteries from over-discharge.
• With a door opening zone signal input, doors can be kept closed until the car is moved to the just floor during emergency
evacuation.
• It provides a parameter menu which has access levels for security, user/customer needs and easy adjustment.
• It provides many functions and parameters for manufacturing companies that enable application flexibility, like motor
reduction ratio, motor revolution, motor sheave circumference and skate open zone.
• It provides user friendly parameter setting with speed units in cm/s and travel distance units in cm.
• It provides a counter for the information of opening-closing times.
• Basic parameters (Door opening-closing speed, obstruction pressure, signal type and demo mode) can be adjusted easily
by user via built-in 7-segment displays and buttons.
• Optional KM-20 Keypad allows access to all its parameters, functionality and monitoring screens.
• Availability of multiple languages: Turkish, English and Greek

The type of door speed settings. All speed parameters can easily be set to default values
or can be adjusted separately. The speed setting parameters only appear when this
parameter is set to “CUSTOM SETINGS”. Otherwise these parameters will be set to
default values and will not appear in menu.
These speed setting parameters are:
• OPENING SPEED
SPEED SETTINGS • OPENING SLOW SPD
• OPEN RAMP LENGHT
• OPEN SLOW AREA
• CLOSING SPEED
• CLOSING SLOW SPD
• CLS.RAMP LENGHT
• CLOSE SLOW AREA
SLOW DEFAULTS Speed setting parameters will be set to slow default values.
NORMAL DEFAULTS Speed setting parameters will set to normal default values.
FAST DEFAULTS Speed setting parameters will set to fast default values.
CUSTOM SETINGS Each speed setting parameter can be adjusted separately.

CLOSE HOLD The holding force constantly applied to motor after door fully closes to remain door closed (to
FORCE overcome the opening force because of the skate spring)
The maximum opening-closing force applied to overcome an obstacle
If an obstacle is detected in the closing operation, door stops, gives a warning to lift controller
by activating the obstruction relay output (R3) and fully opens. Then obstruction relay is
deactivated. After the “close signal” is given by the controller door tries to close again with
normal travel speed up to the obstacle. Then it decelerates near the obstacle. If door overcomes
the obstacle it continues the rest of the way at normal closing speed. This action is repeated
OBSTRUCTION continuously for as long as the obstacle remains.
PRS. If an obstacle is detected in the opening operation, door stops. Obstruction relay (R3) remains
deactivated. Door remains in this position and waits “close signal” from lift controller for 15
seconds. If no close signal is given after this waiting period door tries to reopen with normal
travel speed up to the obstacle. Then it decelerates near the obstacle. If door overcomes the
obstacle it continues the rest of the way at normal opening speed. This action is repeated
continuously for as long as the obstacle remains.
Note: According to EN81, the maximum static closing force must not exceed 150N.
LEARNING SPEED Door auto-learning speed during the measurement of the door travel length

The opening distance while door accelerates (from slow speed to opening speed) and
OPEN RAMP LENGHT
while door decelerates (from opening speed to slow speed)
OPEN SLOW AREA The opening distance with slow speed up to the opening rubber stopper
SKATE OPEN SPEED Skate opening speed
SKATE ZONE The distance that is required for skate to fully open

Figure-14: Door opening travel curve

14.3. DOOR CLOSING SETTINGS
Adjust door closing settings by referring to Figure-15.
CLOSING SPEED The maximum closing speed
CLOSING SLOW SPD Closing slow speed when door reaches to the closing rubber stopper
The closing distance while door accelerates (from slow speed to closing speed) and
CLS.RAMP LENGHT
while door decelerates (from closing speed to slow speed)
CLOSE SLOW AREA The closing distance with slow speed up to the closing rubber stopper
SKATE CLS. SPEED Skate closing speed
SKATE ZONE The distance that is required for skate to fully closed

Figure-15: Door closing travel curve

MAX. DOOR CLOSING SPEED
According to EN81, the maximum kinetic energy of the door in the closing direction must not exceed 10J. And for nudging
closing (reduced speed closing) the max. kinetic energy must not exceed 4J. This can be calculated by the formula:
Maximum kinetic energy = (1/2) x Km x (Vmax^2)
Km: Total door panel weight (kg)
Vmax: Maximum speed of the door (m/s)
An example for a calculation of maximum speed: Km = 120 kg
The maximum closing speed Vmax(normal) = 0,4 m/s and The maximum nudging speed Vmax(nudging) = 0,25 m/s

14.4. PI SPEED REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT

SPEED CONT. KP The differential factor of PI speed regulator
SPEED CONT. KI The integral factor of PI speed regulator
“SPEED CONT. KP” and “SPEED CONT. KI” parameters determine the PI speed regulator’s reaction sensitivity which adjusts
the motor speed.
The integral factor KI multiplies the total of errors so must be adjusted to very smaller than KP otherwise it causes vibration and
overshoots at travel curve. Usually it is better to adjust KP > 10xKI.
If KI and KP are too high it makes noise at motor. Too small values cause delays to catch the reference speed and sensitivity
loss.

15. EMERGENCY OPERATION

In case of mains failure, KM-20 can get the power from batteries or 24VDC external supply. The emergency supply type can be
selected via a jumper on board. Below the jumper setting is shown.
Note: This setting is only needed when 24Vdc voltage is supplied to terminal AKU+ and AKU- for emergency operation. If door
controller will be supplied continuously from 20VAc power input (with an UPS or an Emergency Evacuation Unit) there is no
need to make this adjustment.
Setting Pin selection Description
Emergency If battery connection is made to terminals AKU+ and AKU- for
supply selection emergency operation then this setting must be configured. The battery
(with 1 jumper) voltage must be 24Vdc (2 pieces 12V/1.2Ah). KM-20 controls battery

charge. After an emergency opening with battery supply, KM-20 cuts the

battery supply and goes into sleep mode to protect the batteries from over-
discharge. After ac voltage is applied to power supply input then
controller will switch back normal operation.
If external 24Vdc supply is applied to terminals AKU+ and AKU- (from
With lift controller) instead of battery connection for emergency operation,
Ext. then this setting must be configured. Door controller will be continuously
PS. supplied by this voltage and never goes into sleep mode. When 24Vdc
voltage is applied door controller operates in normal mode.

15.1. EMERGENCY DOOR OPENING WITH 'KAT' INPUT

During emergency operation (in case of mains failure) “OPEN” and “CLOSE” inputs are functional. Door opening and closing
signals can be applied to these terminals. In addition, during emergency operation, “KAT” input (a separate door opening zone
signal) is also becoming functional. When this input is activated door opens. This feature can be used to keep door closed when
the elevator car is not just at the floor level.

16. STATUS MESSAGES

KM-20 KEYPAD displays the status of door operation. Below these messages are listed:
Status message Description
DOOR OPENED Door is fully open. The door position data P: 0cm.
DOOR CLOSED Door is fully closed. The door position data P will be the door length.
DOOR OPENING Door is opening. The door opening speed and door position data is shown on display.
DOOR CLOSING Door is closing. The door closing speed and door position data is shown on display.

18. TROUBLESHOOTING
DOOR DOES NOT MOVE
• Check the power led 24V on the board. If 24V led is OFF check the ac power supply and the ac supply fuse on the left
side of the board.
• Check the motor power connection on terminals MOT.
• Check the parameter “SIGNAL TYPE” (parameter on digital display). When this parameter is set to
“OPEN/CLOSE SNGL.” door will not move until a command is given from terminals OPEN or CLOSE. Check these
input leds. In order to test these inputs, disconnect the wiring of OPEN and CLOSE terminals. Then test these inputs by
making a bridge between terminals: GND > COM, 24V > OPEN and 24V > CLOSE.
• Check that door is not mechanically blocked
DOOR PANELS ARE OPENING-CLOSING RAPIDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY
• Check motor and encoder wirings. When you move the door manually the speed of door must be shown on display.
• Encoder channel-A and channel-B connection may be wrong. Interchange these inputs.
DOOR DOES NOT OPEN
• When door open signal is activated OPEN led on board must be ON. If OPEN led is OFF be sure that lift controller
gives open command.
• Check that the CLOSE led is OFF. If close signal is active door does not open because close signal has priority.
• If the parameter “SIGNAL TYPE” (parameter on digital display) is set to “CLOSE SIGNAL” check that close
signal is not active.
• Check that door is not mechanically blocked.
DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE
• When door close signal is activated CLOSE led on board must be ON. If CLOSE led is OFF be sure that lift controller
gives close command.
• Check that door is not mechanically blocked.
DOOR MOVES IN REVERSE DIRECTION
• Door connection may be wrong. Interchange the motor power outputs and at the same time interchange the encoder
channels A and B.
DOOR HITS or DOOR DECELERATES EARLY
• Be sure that the auto-learning operation is done properly
• Check that door speed setting are adjusted correctly
DOOR OFTEN DETECTS OBSTACLE
• Check that door has no mechanical defect.
• Check that obstruction pressure is not too low.
• Check that encoder is not faulty.
• Check that Ac power supply is not too low
DOOR PANELS ARE VIBRATING
• Check that the encoder is connected correctly.
• Check the PI speed regulator settings (SPEED CONT. KP and SPEED CONT. KI)
• Check that door has no mechanical defect.
DOOR FULLY OPENS THEN IT MOVES 1-2cm BACK AND TRIES TO OPEN AGAIN
• Door open hold force may be too low and door cannot overcome the closing force because of the door spring.
• At that floor, landing door spring may be too strong.
DOOR MOTOR and DRIVE CIRCUIT IS HEATING UP EVEN DOOR STOPS
• Check that the opening and closing hold force are not too high.
