1) Introduction
The ALMEGA 2 microprocessor has been designed as a successor to the ALMEGA. The
product retains the proven technical ability of the ALMEGA, plus the addition of many new
features / enhancements. Utilising the latest technology it has adopted TFT LCD technology
with touch screen for a user friendly menu & programming interface. Also, a more powerful
Dual Core micro processor has been chosen to handle the enhanced display and allow more
processing for lift functions. USB technology has been implemented to provide a high speed
serial interface to PC’s / Laptops, but also to provide an expanded memory system using a
USB memory drive. The USB “stick” can be used to store backup parameters and software
versions, and also can be used for software updates.

The system consists of a Base IO module, and optional Expansion IO modules. The Base IO
module contains the lift micro processor, USB micro processor, Wi-Fi module, Power
supplies and “controller IO” connections. The expansion IO modules provide IO for the lift
shaft and are enclosed in custom designed DIN rail mounting modules, thus the system is
modular depending upon the number of floors and features. Expansion IO may also be
mounted within the lift shaft. This does NOT use the same DIN RAIL modules but instead
uses the IO associated with Lester Controls “pre-wired” Serial IO system. These provide
functions for the landing IO as well as car IO.

Direct serial communication to selected Position Devices and motor drives (i.e. VVF)
provides “Direct to Floor Control” for time and energy efficiency, better reliability, control,
and a wealth of information can be accessed for diagnostics / monitoring purposes. The
microprocessor will also connect directly to Lester Controls serial indicator and speech units,
providing full programmability of up to 32 floors and many messages and features.

Windows application software is available to allow the user to change parameters and settings
to suit the lift installation. All parameters, IO, serial speech / indicator are fully
programmable. The software also provides the user with diagnostic tools for viewing detailed
information regarding the status of the lift, motor drive and positioning system. The
information is also available remotely via the Internet / Intranet connection with the Internet
Monitoring, add on option.

2) Manual Supplements
There are a range of manual supplements available for specific information regarding the
ALMEGA 2 lift control system. The information in these supplements provide additions for
special / specific lift functions that would not normally required within the scope of this
manual. Some supplements available are Internet connectivity, serial communications with an
inverter drive, and Emergency supply operation etc. Contact Lester Controls for availability,
or visit the web site to download those currently available.

4) Switching onto TEST Operation for the first time
The Lift Viewer or Input Output Viewer from the main menu may be used at this stage to aid
with testing.

Installation state:
The Motor, Thermistors, Fan and Brake etc. have been connected to the Control Panel.
The safety and lock circuit are in a state where the door contacts, emergency stops etc., are
making contact providing continuity through terminals:
(OTL - OSG - PSW - G1 - G2 - G3 - G4), for a Hydraulic Lift, and
(OTL - OSG - G1 - G2 - G3 - G4), for a Traction Lift.
The wiring has been checked and all cables are connected correctly.
The fuses are in their correct places and of the correct size and type.
The lift is switched to TEST via the Car Top Control or manually by leaving the connection
between TTS and TS open circuit, also continuity is made from terminals TTS and TS1.
Check there are no obstructions in the lift shaft.
Provisionally set the lift and door motor overloads.
Check that the car and landing doors are closed fully (if fitted at this stage).

The lift can now be switched on:

Check the incoming three-phase sequence is correct (PFRR relay is energised)
Check the LED's EMER, CARL, LOCK are illuminated on the mains input board, or look
on the LCD display (i.e. INPUT VIEWER), or check the LCD display default screen.

Making the following temporary connections can now drive the lift:
To travel UP = TF to TU
To travel DOWN = TF to TD

The following checks should be made before continuing with moving the lift:
1) Check that the Emergency stop buttons, Locks and Safety circuit (if applicable) will stop
the lift instantaneously shortly after the lift motor starts to rotate.

2) Run the lift and check that the direction of rotation is correct.

3) Run the lift and check that the brake and ramp voltages are correct

4) Check the door operation (if fitted) by using the car top control buttons to make contact
between terminals:

CLOSE = DTF and DC

OPEN = DTF and DO

5) Check selector stepping and levelling switches are in place and are functional.

6) After Test operation move the lift to the lowest level possible, park with doors closed and
switch off the control system.

Note:
If you have any problems at this stage please refer to the fault finding section of this manual.

5) Switching onto NORMAL Operation for the first time
The Lift Viewer or Input Output Viewer from the main menu may be used at this stage to aid
with testing.

Installation state:
The lift installation is complete and is to be operated normally for the first time. The tape
head, door operator, Emergency stop buttons, locks, safety circuit, shaft switches, proximity
and levelling signals have been checked on TEST control as previously instructed and are
operating correctly. The pulsing and levelling signals are in the correct sequence as on the
shaft and vane layout drawing. The lift is at the lowest floor level with the reset signal
energised.

The lift is switched to TEST via the Car Top Control or manually by leaving the connection
between TTS and TS open circuit, also continuity is made from terminals TTS and TS1.

The lift is switched onto NORMAL operation via the car top control, i.e. a connection should
be made between terminals TTS and TS, and open circuit from terminals TTS and TS1.
The lift should not be on any other form of independent service, i.e. Fire or Service control.
Ensure no shaft obstructions exist. The lift can now be switched on, and the following
suggested test procedures maybe carried out:

1) Purging of the Event Logger:

Whilst in the menu Event History, pressing the EVENT HISTORY LIST button (as shown)
invokes an “Are you sure” screen to clear/purge all events stored in the Event Logger. Press
YES to confirm, or press << to cancel.
Fig 5.1

<< EVENT HISTORY LIST [150 EVENTS] << EVENT HISTORY LIST [150 EVENTS]

** ARE YOU SURE? **
102 INSPECTION CONTROL 07:08:14 09:09 O = 1

YES

2) Testing the pulsing and levelling signals (STU/STD & STEP):

This can be achieved by placing calls to each floor in turn, in both the UP and DOWN
direction, ensuring correct selector stepping and stopping sequence. Correct any problems
with the vanes before proceeding to the next stage. Once correct, run the lift to the terminal
floors in both directions to check vane operation.

5.1) Limits (Slowing/Stopping) and Buffer Tests
A set of dedicated buttons are available to assist in the testing of the slowing limits, stopping
limits and lift buffers (i.e. buffer test). To make the buttons appear press and hold the shaft
area of the screen for 5 Seconds. Once the buttons appear they need to be held under
“constant pressure” to invoke the function. If the buttons are not pressed for a period of 20
minutes they will disappear and the normal lift viewer screen will be shown, otherwise the
timer is reset when the screen is pressed. Also to clear the buttons, simply press MENU and
press LIFT/GROUP VIEWER to re initialise the lift viewer.

3) Testing of Slowing switches:

Press TOP button to register a top car call and, then press SLOW LIMIT TEST button
under constant pressure to inhibit the STEP signal, thus forcing the lift to slowdown via the
slowing limit. Press BOT to register a bottom car call and repeat the above process.

4) Testing of Terminal switches:

Press TOP button to register a top car call and then press STOP VANE TEST button under
constant pressure to inhibit the stopping signals (e.g. STU and STD), thus forcing the lift to
stop on the terminal limit. Press BOT to register a bottom car call and repeat the above
process.

5) Testing of the Lift Buffers (Buffer Test):

Note this function is to be used only by responsible Lift Test Engineers!
Press TOP button to register a top car call and then press BUFF TEST button under constant
pressure to inhibit the slowing, slowing limits and stopping signals, thus forcing the lift to
crash stop onto the lift buffers on HIGH SPEED! Press CPB to register a bottom car call and
repeat the above process.

Note:
If you have any problems at this stage please refer to the fault finding section of this manual.

6) Hardware Section

6.1) Physical Dimensions

Base Unit
Fig 6.1
W=235mm D=95mm

H=118mm

IO Module(s)

W=25mm Fig 6.2 D=112mm

H=87mm

The base Unit and IO Modules are DIN rail mounting. Up to 30 modules can be added for
extra IO. The modules clip into each other via a connection system at the base, thus no extra
cables are required to add IO. The width spacing is 25mm, thus for 5 modules a space of
125mm is required, and for 10 modules 250mm is required.

8
6.1.1) Horizontal Fixing

The Base Unit and IO modules are typically mounted horizontally as shown below. The
connection from the Base Unit to the IO modules is via a purpose made “screened”
communications cable. The IO modules may be mounted next to the Base Unit or away from
it on another a separate piece of DIN rail. The cable length can be adjusted to suit.

Fig 6.3

Fig 6.4
6.1.2) Vertical Fixing
The Base Unit and IO modules can be mounted
vertically as shown aside. This is implemented
typically where there are space restrictions within
the control panel (i.e. MRL controllers). The LCD
can be rotated from its horizontal position to
vertical, thus the menu & user interface maintain
the same resolution. The connection from the Base
Unit to the IO modules is via a purpose made
“screened” communications cable. The IO modules
may be mounted next to the Base Unit or away
from it on another a separate piece of DIN rail. The
cable length can be adjusted to suit.

6.2.1) LCD Board
The Almega 2 incorporates TFT LCD technology with touch screen for a user friendly menu
& programming interface. The display size is 3.5 inch with a dot matrix of 320 by 240 RGB
pixels, and 256K colours. The backlight is 400mW white LED, and the viewing is 140
degrees.

A purpose made board has been developed to mount the display and provide
connections/fixings to the Base Unit Top Board. The board increases the mechanical strength
of the display and at the same time reduces the “wear & tear” that may be caused by
movement of the display and hence movement of the sensitive connection cables.
The board can be rotated from its horizontal position to vertical, thus the menu & user
interface maintain the same resolution.

The Re-levelling and Advance Door Opening Board is a safety critical board that checks for
correct vane information (also stuck vanes) and ensures that safety circuits (car / landing lock
circuits) are only bridged, when the conditions are correct. The safety critical board in
conjunction with the physical shaft vane information (re-level proximity vanes), is designed
to conform to BS/EN81 standards.

LK1 = supply source i.e. “internal = from backplane”, or “external = terminals”

Inputs
LV1 = Re-level / ADO sensor 1 (1st sensor - tape-head / proximity switch-110VAC)
LV2 = Re-level / ADO signal 2 (from micro processor re-level / ado output-110VAC)
LMP = Re-level / ADO pilot input from micro processor (110VAVC).
0VR = Supply Return for +24V supply (stand alone mode only)
+24V = +24V D.C supply (60mA max) (stand alone mode only)

Outputs
LZ1-LZ2 = Level Zone: n/o Contact (6A@250VAC) for bridging lock safety circuit.
DZ1-DZ2 = Door Zone: n/o Contact (6A@250VAC) to be wired into a processor input for
feedback or in Series with Door Open Contactor circuit.

LED Indication
RLV1-2/RMP = Indication for relay coils RLV1, RLV2, and RMP respectively.
LH/LZ/LP = Indication for relay coils LP, LZ, and LP respectively.
Note when locks are bridged LED’s RLV2, RLV1, RMP, LH and LZ should all be lit.

Protection FS1= Fuse protection for +24V supply input (internal or external, 250mA Q-blow)
The Back-plane Connection provides both Power and Board Identification.

7) Fault Finding and Callouts

The microprocessor and circuitry can help the engineer in fault finding because it remembers
each fault in turn, which floor it was at, how many times it has occurred and the date and time
it happened. See Event History (or by pressing MENU key on the keypad) in the main menu
for the events and their descriptions. See also Lift Viewer and Input Output Viewer for
detailed information of the lifts’ status.

Typical Checking procedure

1) Check the 3 phase incoming supply to the controller.
2) Check motor overloads/circuit breakers etc.
3) Check the various voltages at the Primary and Secondary of each transformer with
respect to their terminals and not earth.
4) Check the LED indication associated with each fuse on the power supply (see Power
Supply) and the voltage going into and out of each fuse in the control panel, making
sure they match and visually inspect where possible for a blown fuse. Avoid switching
off if possible to check fuses as this may clear the problem, but it may return at a later
date causing another callout.
5) Input EMER = Safety Circuit should be on within the IO rack, if not check live feeds
in order to terminals (OTL - OSG - PSW - G1 - G2), for a Hydraulic Lift, and
(OTL - OSG - G1 - G2 ), for a Traction Lift.
6) Input CARL = Car Lock Circuit should be on within the IO rack, if not check live
feeds in order to terminals G2 and G3.
7) Input LANL = Landing Lock Circuit should be on within the IO rack, if not check
live feeds in order to terminals G3 and G4.
8) Check through the following functions, identifying correctly ON or OFF as required:
a) OSI output, should be OFF
b) TEST input, illuminated on Normal, OFF on TEST.
c) LW90 input, LW110 input & OLI output, illuminated when the lift is 90% or
110% loaded.
d) THERM, illuminated when the motor or machine room thermistor has tripped.
e) RET1, 2 or 3, illuminated when on Emergency Recall/Shutdown 1, 2 or 3.
f) SHUTDOWN, illuminated when on Shutdown Control.
g) SERV, illuminated when on Service control.
h) FIRE, illuminated when on Fire Control.
i) HYD OTL input, illuminated when Hydraulic lift has over travelled.
j) PTT Control, Prepare To Test within processor, and should be OFF.
k) SE, DOP and DE are illuminated when the Safe edge, Door open Button
and Door Detector Edge are activated respectively, which may prevent the doors
from closing.
l) The Thermistor and Phase Sequence LED’S on the phase failure and reversal
relay (PFRR) must not be illuminated.

If all circuits appear to be O.K, there is a possibility of a coil burning out on a relay, contactor,
the brake, ramp or a valve coil may have burnt out. If further help is required whilst fault
finding, please make a note of the following before contacting Lester Control Systems.
i) LED's that are illuminated,
ii) A full report of the state of the contactors and relays etc.
iii) A full report of the lift fault.
iv) A full report from the fault logger.

7.1) Common Faults

Detailed below, is a list of common faults. To assist with fault finding see Event History in
the main menu for the events and descriptions, see also Lift Viewer and Input Output
Viewer for detailed information of the lifts’ status.

A) Lift car out of step with the controller

i) Stepping input STEP/DZ must pulse once ON and once OFF between every floor.
ii) Check Tapehead unit/floor selection switches operate correctly.
iii) Check car/landing calls are being entered to the correct floors.

B) Doors remain open and will not close

vii) Note under Fire control, Service control, and 90% overload bypass the lift doors
remain open typically and will only close by initiating a car call.

C) Doors closed and will not open

i) Check Stopping vanes STU and STD are not both on from start of a journey until the
end of the journey (i.e. Stuck On).
ii) Check Stepping input STEP/DZ is not on from start of a journey until the end of the
journey (i.e. Stuck On).

9) Lift Special Services Operation
Prepare To Test:
The prepare to test feature is enabled through the Engineers Selection menu, or through
Special Service2 parameter Setup. This feature has the effect of preparing the lift for full test
control by inhibiting any further landing calls, preventing the lift from homing to the main
floor, and picking up any further passengers. Any passengers remaining in the lift will still be
able to register car calls to their destination. Options are given for disabling the doors and low
speed timer whilst on Prepare to Test.

Service Control:
The Service Control Feature is selected by asserting the SERV input. When selected, the
service control feature renders the lift out of service and transfers all landing calls to other
members of the group (if any). The control of the lift is then from the car only, and it is
assumed that an attendant would operate the lift in a manual fashion as the car call buttons
now become constant pressure buttons. The advantage of such control is for the loading and
unloading of goods whereby the attendant has full control of the lift e.g. a porter in a Hotel.
Parameters found in Special Service2 Setup provide options for enabling/disabling constant
pressure door control.

Fire Control:
The Fire Control feature is selected by asserting the FIRE or FIRE2 input. When selected,
the fire control feature renders the lift out of service and transfers all landing calls to the other
members of the group (if any). There are many different types of Fire control but generally
the lift is interrupted from its normal direction of travel to its destination (any car calls being
immediately cancelled) and called automatically to a specific floor as a matter of urgency for
a fireman. Once the lift has reached this floor, full control of the lift and the doors is assigned
to the fireman via constant pressure call buttons and the door open button. Parameters found
in Fire Control Setup provide options for enabling/disabling constant pressure door control
and selecting fire floor etc. Two inputs FIRE and FIRE2 are provided to allow the lift to
return to 2 different fire floors.

Fire Alarm Control:

The Fire Alarm Control feature is selected by asserting the FAR1 or FAR2 inputs. When
selected, the fire alarm control feature renders the lift out of service and transfers all landing
calls to the other members of the group (if any). The lift is interrupted from its normal
direction of travel to its destination (any car calls being immediately cancelled) and called
automatically to a specific floor as a matter of urgency. Once the lift has reached this floor,
the doors are parked closed (as default). Parameters found in Fire Control Setup provide
options for door control and selecting the return floors etc. Two inputs FAR1 and FAR2 are
provided to allow the lift to return to 2 different fire floors.

Evacuation Control:
The Evacuation Control feature is selected by asserting the EVACUATION input. When
selected, the Evacuation control feature renders the lift out of service and transfers all landing
calls to the other members of the group (if any). The lift is interrupted from its normal
direction of travel to its destination (any car calls being immediately cancelled) and called
automatically to a specific floor as a matter of urgency. Once the lift has reached this floor,
full control of the lift and the doors is assigned to the operator via constant pressure call
buttons and the door open button. Evacuation control is intended to assist in the evacuation of
persons in a building by providing information to an operator within the lift car of persons
waiting on a landing. This information may be conveyed using an intercom system or from
27
persons pressing the landing call buttons. A user on the landing presses a landing call button,
which in turn flashes the car call acceptance illumination within the car. The operator within
the lift car may then pick up passengers and take them to an evacuation point (floor), in an
orderly fashion as described by the buildings evacuation procedure. Knowledge of passengers
waiting is indicated by the flashing car call acceptance illumination. The operator enters a car
call to pick up passengers from the destination. The car call illumination then stays on
permanently to indicate the car call has been accepted, it will completely extinguish when the
call is answered. Parameters found in Fire Control Setup provide options for
enabling/disabling constant pressure door control, selecting the return floor, enabling the
flashing of car calls when a landing button is pressed etc.

Load Weighing 110% Overloaded:

The 110% overload function becomes active when the lift is stationary (during travel has no
effect) and the LW110 input is asserted. The event 110% overload is generated, doors are
parked open, and the lift is then marked out of service.

Load Weighing 90% Overload/Bypass:

The 90% overload function is active when the lift is either moving or stationary and the
LW90 input is asserted. The operation of the lift changes such that landing calls are bypassed,
therefore reducing the chance of another person entering the lift and fully overloading it.
Instead car calls are only answered, so that passengers will leave the lift car thus reducing the
weight and relieving the 90% overload condition. Once this is achieved landing calls are
resumed and the lift is ready to pick up passengers once again as normal.

Thermistor Tripped:
The Thermistor Tripped function becomes active when the lift is stationary and the THERM
input is asserted. The event Thermistor Tripped is generated, doors are parked open, and the
lift is then marked out of service.

Priority Service Controls (1,2&3):

The Priority Service Control Features are selected by asserting the PRIORITY SERVICE
1/2/3 inputs as required. When selected, the lift is rendered out of service and transfers all
landing calls to other members of the group (if any). The lift is interrupted from its normal
direction of travel to its destination (any car calls being immediately cancelled) and called
automatically to a specific floor as a matter of urgency. Once the lift has reached this floor,
full control of the lift is assigned to the user. Parameters found in Special Service Setup
provide options for enabling/disabling constant pressure door control, enabling/disabling car
calls etc.

Shutdown Control:
The Shutdown Control Features are selected by asserting the SHUTDOWN input as required.
When selected, the lift is rendered out of service and transfers all landing calls to other
members of the group (if any). The lift may be interrupted from its normal direction of travel
to its destination (any car calls being immediately cancelled) and called automatically to a
specific floor as a matter of urgency. Parameters found in Special Service2 Setup provide
options for return controls (i.e. return floor), enabling/disabling constant pressure door
control, enabling/disabling car calls etc.

Automatic Service:
Automatic Service Control is selected by asserting the AUTOMATIC SERVICE input as
required. When selected, the lift is rendered out of service and transfers all landing calls to
other members of the group (if any). Automatic service can be used for a variety of
28
applications e.g. lift floor to floor testing, and Automatic control that requires no human
interaction of pressing call buttons. The lift will run continuously in an automatic fashion
answering one single car call at a time. The lift can be configured to answer calls in the UP,
DN, or both directions. The frequency of operations is measured in starts per hour (parameter
settable). The number of starts per hour should not exceed the rated motor starts per hour.
Parameters found in Special Service1 Setup / Special Service Times provide options for
clearing calls upon operation of the switch; park open door control, enabling/disabling car
calls, and landing call re-open etc.

Hospital Priority Service “Code Blue”:

Hospital Priority Service “Code Blue” has been designed to work in a hospital environment
allowing personnel a dedicated and custom priority service.

Code Blue Control is selected by asserting code blue inputs as required. An extra set of
landing pushes are therefore required. Code Blue priority calls are entered at the landing
entrances via a momentary action key-switch. Upon receipt of the call, the lift is rendered out
of service and transfers all landing calls to other members of the group (if any), and makes an
immediate return to the floor where the call was made. In the event the lift has to reverse its
direction to the call, the lift will slow and stop at the next available landing before returning.

Upon arrival at the landing, the lift will remain on Code Blue control for a period of typically
15 seconds (parameter settable). This is to allow the user time to take control of the lift,
otherwise after this time period the lift will return to normal operation, or answer the next
Code Blue call (if any). Control is taken by putting the lift in the state of “Code Blue Held”,
this is achieved by asserting an input (i.e. Service Control or the “code blue hold” input (if
configured)), or alternatively a call before the timeout times when “Code Blue Hold Bypass”
parameter is set to YES. Once control is established the user may take the lift to its desired
destination via the entering of car calls. Switching back to normal operation; requires the
release of “code blue held”, i.e. switching off the input or waiting for the timer to time out.

Code Blue control can be achieved by various methods, i.e. within a group of lifts whereby
Code Blue calls are shared and dispatched to the nearest lift(s). Otherwise an isolated lift
within the group may be configured for Code Blue control only (i.e. independent operation).

A Multiple calls option allows multiple code blue return calls to the same floor, e.g. if a lift
has been called to a floor, another lift would not normally be allowed to be called to the same
floor until the existing one has gone. However the multiple calls option allows another lift to
be called whilst the existing one is still there. Note two or more lifts will not return at the
same time to the same floor, only one. However two or more lifts may be returning to two or
more different floors at the same time.

Parameters found in Special Service2 Setup / Special Service Times provide options for
enabling/disabling constant pressure door control; park open door control, independent
control, allowing multiple calls, and code blue hold / dwell times etc.

Code Blue, some General Points:

i) Lift(s) answer calls in the order of 1st come 1st served.
ii) If a call is not answered in the allotted time, the lift times out, the allocation is un-
assigned, and another lift may take the call if available.
iii) Code Blue priority calls are answered upon a successful return.
iv) If no lifts are available, calls are cleared after a specified time period.

29
10) Lift Self Test Operation

The self test feature automatically inserts terminal floor car calls (i.e. Top and Bottom or
settable via parameters) typically 120 seconds after lift inactivity following a fault condition,
e.g. door open/close protection time, lock failure, failure to start etc. This cycle will be
repeated every 120 seconds up to a maximum of ten attempts (parameter settable) or until the
lift is back in service. After the last attempt, self test will be inhibited until the system is
returned to normal operation via passenger intervention. Events will be generated indicating a
self test to Top or Bottom, and whether or not the self test Passed or Failed. Parameters found
in General Parameters and General Times provide options for Self Test as below:

General Parameters:
Parameter Min Max Default
Self Test NO YES YES
Number of Self Tests 1 10 5
Self Test Bottom Floor Bottom Floor (Top Floor-1) Bottom Floor
Self Test Top Floor (Bottom Floor+1) Top Floor Number of Floors

General Times:
Parameter Min Max Default
Self Test Time 0s 600s 120s

11) Out Of Service Setup

The Out Of Service output OSI can be configured as required via the parameters found in the
Out Of Service Setup. A list of failures and service modes can be selected / de-selected. Also
by setting the parameter INVERT OSI INDICATOR (Lift in Service Indicator) in General
Parameters the Out of Service Indicator is inverted and becomes a Lift in Service Indicator.
A selection of parameters are shown below.

OSI Indicator:
Parameter Min Max Default
Error in Position NO YES YES
Journey Timer timed NO YES YES
Hydraulic Overtravel NO YES YES
Start Failure NO YES YES
Re-Levelling Error NO YES YES
Door Open Protection NO YES YES
Door Close Protection NO YES YES
Landing Lock Failure NO YES YES
Car Lock Failure NO YES YES
Lift Motion Failed NO YES YES
Inspection Control NO YES YES
Etc. .. .. ..

30
12) Lift Anti Nuisance Control
Anti-Nuisance features have been included to enhance the operation of the system and help
reduce waiting times. All features are configurable by the parameters in the Anti Nuisance
Setup but typical values are given below. Also the features described below are all disabled
during any not-normal service operations, i.e. Fire and Service control.

Reverse Car Call Dumping:

When the lift slows for its last call in the established direction of travel then reverse car call
dumping is established. Reverse car call dumping causes the cancellation of reverse direction
car calls if typically 3 or more car calls exist.

Forward Car Call Dumping:

If the lift has arrived at typically 3 or more destinations without breaking the detector
edge/light ray, and there are typically 3 or more car calls still remaining, then these remaining
calls will be cancelled (dumped).

Door Open Push Held Car Call Dumping:

The remaining car calls will be cancelled and the event "OPEN PUSH HELD" will be
recorded when the door open push has been held constantly for more than typically 20
seconds.

Safe Edge Held Car Call Dumping:

The remaining car calls will be cancelled and the event "SAFE EDGE HELD" will be
recorded when the safe edge has been held constantly for more than typically 20 seconds.
However this is not active when the door nudging control is enabled.

Detector Edge / Light Ray Override:

If the detector edge / light ray has been held for more than typically 20 seconds the event
"DETECTOR EDGE OVERIDE" will be recorded and the lift doors will close regardless of
the detector edge input. However this is not active when the door nudging control is enabled.

Stuck Hall Push Detection:

The " STUCK UP LAN BUTTON ", and " STUCK DN LAN BUTTON " events (UP and
DOWN landing call buttons) will be recorded typically 10 seconds after the microprocessor
has attempted and failed to cancel the respective hall call. The respective stuck hall call is
now ignored but will be eligible for operation after the stuck condition has been removed.
However, to provide lift service to the floor with the stuck hall push or pushes, the
microprocessor will reinstate the call (if still stuck), typically 240 seconds from when
originally detected.

Stuck Car Push Detection:

The " STUCK CAR BUTTON " event will be recorded typically 10 seconds after the
microprocessor has attempted and failed to cancel a car call. The stuck car call is now ignored
but will be eligible for operation after the stuck condition has been removed. However, to
provide lift service to the floor with the stuck car call push, the microprocessor will reinstate
the call (if still stuck), typically 240 seconds from when originally detected.

Landing Call Door Reversal Inhibit:

This feature is usually invoked on group systems whereby it is necessary to limit the number
of door reversals when a landing call is pressed. This ensures the lift is not held at a floor un-
necessarily thus increasing waiting times. The feature is invoked when the lift has calls in the
system to a destination. The number of door reversals, are limited to between 1 and 10.

13) Lift Re-Levelling
(See also Re-Levelling and Advance Door Opening Board)
Lift re-levelling control is achieved using the combination of software, and a safety critical
Re-Levelling / Advance Door Opening Board. The software provides functionality by
analysing vane information, producing outputs to re-level, checking for stuck vanes, reporting
and acting upon error conditions etc, whereas the safety critical board, checks for correct vane
information (also stuck vanes) and ensures that safety circuits (car / landing lock circuits) are
only bridged, when the conditions are correct. The safety critical board in conjunction with
the physical shaft vane information (re-level proximity vanes), is designed to conform to
BS/EN81 standards.

The Lift will re-level within the re-level distance (as shown). The distance may be varied to
be smaller or larger (as required). However if it is too small instability / errors may occur, also
if it is too large, the step between the lift car and landing entrance may be excessive before it
re-levels. Overlap between re-level vanes and stopping vanes at the re-level point is not
necessary since it requires both LV1 to energise and STU to release, to start re-levelling in the
up direction for example. The order of the vanes is not important, however for predictable
operation, setting both vanes the same distance is recommended.

Re-Level Up Sequence
1. Lift sinks onto RLU, and at (or about) the same time comes off the trailing edge of STU.
2. The micro processor initiates the start sequence by energising the re-level output.
3. The re-level output signals the re-level board to bridge the lock circuit.
4. The micro processor monitors the lock circuit and a feedback contact from the re-level
board before energising the UP relay and other associated controls.
5. Re-levelling Up now commences.
6. The micro processor monitors the vane information and re-levelling starts to terminate
upon release of RLU. (If a fault occurs, re-levelling may be terminated for various other
conditions.)
7. A delay off timer set by parameter RELEV_UP_STOP_TIME determines the re-level
distance and ultimately the floor level after re-levelling.
8. The micro processor performs a final check to ensure the re-level board feedback contact
has released.

The Lift will re-level within the start re-level distance (as shown). The distance may be varied
to be smaller or larger (as required). However if it is too small instability / errors may occur,
also if it is too large, the step between the lift car and landing entrance may be excessive
before it re-levels.

2. The micro processor initiates the start sequence by energising the re-level output.
3. The re-level output signals the re-level board to bridge the lock circuit.
4. The micro processor monitors the lock circuit and a feedback contact from the re-level
board before energising the UP relay and other associated controls.
5. Re-levelling Up now commences.
6. The micro processor monitors the lift position and re-levelling starts to terminate when the
Re-level Up stop distance is reached (typically 5mm).
7. The Re-level Up stop distance should be set according to the distance it takes the lift to
stop during re-levelling (i.e. for the Hydraulic operation to ramp from re-level speed to
zero speed).
8. If the lift overshoots floor level (>=5mm), the events below will be generated:
1. RELEV RUN FAULT UP
2. RLEV OVERSHOT FLR LEV
These could be due to the Re-level Up stop distance which needs increasing or the RLU
(LV1) vane which is set too near floor level (<15mm below floor level).
9. A delay off timer set by the parameter RELEV_UP_STOP_TIME also terminates re-
levelling as a backup, set at 3000 Milliseconds typically.
10. The micro processor performs a final check to ensure the re-level board feedback contact
has released.

33
13.3) Hydraulic Normal Stopping Sequence
The stopping sequence during normal operation has an effect on the re-levelling setup
regarding vane setup, vane overlap, and ultimately re-levelling distance. Related parameters
set within the factory will suit most installations, but an appreciation of this could be regarded
as necessary. The UP stopping sequence is divided into 2 stages, and applies to Hydraulic
systems which:
1. Release the valves firstly then the pump.
2. Release the pump first, then the valves.

Stopping Sequence (valves 1st, pump 2nd) Stopping Sequence (pump 1st, valves 2nd)
i) Stopping point is reached. Stopping point is reached.
ii) Stop timer, starts timing Stop timer starts timing.
iii) Stop timer timed? Stop timer timed?
iv) Release Valve (UP pilot relay). Release Pump (UP pilot relay).
v) Enable release timer, starts timing. Enable release timer, starts timing.
vi) Enable timer timed? Enable timer timed?
vii) Release Motor (Enable pilot relay). Release Valve (Enable pilot relay).

The pressure within the hydraulic system is applied by the motor in the UP, and is released at
the appropriate time in accordance with the valve release sequence. In the DOWN the
pressure is applied constantly by the weight of the lift, and the release of the valve determines
stopping.

Parameters STOP TIME and ENABLE RELEASE TIME can be found in TRAVEL SETUP
from the menu. They are settable in milliseconds (0-3000).

A typical setting for STOP TIME is derived from the levelling speed of the lift and the vane
overlap of 15mm. Taking into account distance for the lift to reach zero speed from level
speed we may allow 10mm approx. Therefore we need a stop time for the remaining distance
of 15-10mm = 5mm). Time to travel 5mm @ 0.06m/s = 5/60 = 83milliseconds.
Therefore typical STOP TIME ≈ 100mS

A typical setting for ENABLE RELEASE TIME that allows pump run on after the valve has
released is 500mS. This has the effect of keeping maintaining a constant pressure when the
valve closes, and thus should provide a predictable, and softer stop.
Typical ENABLE RELEASE TIME = 500mS

13.4) Re-Level Warnings
A Re-level Warning is given for the following conditions:
1. Wrong vane sequence (i.e. wrong vane sequence release)
2. Re-level timeout.
a. Maximum re-level time exceeded.
3. Re-level Lock Bridge faults (check for locks bridged when re-levelling).
a. Locks not bridged before re-levelling
b. Lock Bridge removed whilst re-levelling. (If floor level is not reached, re-level timeout
will be generated 1st, otherwise lock bridge warning).
4. Re-level board feedback fault.
a. Feedback contact not made up before re-levelling.
b. Feedback contact not released after re-levelling.
5. Emergency stop whilst re-levelling (re-levelling terminates, event generated).
6. Re-levelling Pump up / Sunk down control.
a. If lift sunk down off Stopping vanes STU / STD, and not re-levelled UP.
b. If pumped /moved up past Stopping vanes STU / STD, and not re-levelled DN.
After a warning, re-levelling is inhibited for 5 seconds, to allow for last run to terminate (i.e.
contactors and backup timer to de-energise). After 5 seconds, a recovery call is made to another floor,
in an attempt to eliminate conditions specific to the floor that caused the warning i.e. faulty vanes /
tight guides etc. The recovery call preference, is to send the lift down a floor, however if this is not
possible it will go UP. If the fault is not floor specific, further warnings will be reported until a
warning limit is reached. After this warning limit is reached re-level failure is initiated.

The warning level is incremented (typically by 10) every time a warning is generated. Otherwise if re-
level was successful, the warning level is decremented (typically by 2). The warning level maximum
typically set at 30 would allow 3 successive re-level warnings before failure.

13.5) Re-Level Failures

A Re-level failure occurs for the following conditions.
1. Stuck vane / signal
a. Either LV1 vane, or LV2 signal.
b. or BOTH.
2. Error warning level exceeds warning limit.
3. Sunk down and unable to recover.
a. The lift has sunk down and a warning is generated. Normally the lift will attempt a
recovery call. However if the lift cannot recover due to conditions such as excessive
overload, locks open when constant pressure close doors etc, a re-level failure is
generated.
4. Re-level Yoyo Error.
a. Excessive re-level operations (see yoyo operation)
Under failure any run is terminated, calls are cleared, and an attempt to return the lift to the lowest
floor is made. Whereby it stays out of service, until the processor is reset (i.e. power removed /
restored).
An exception to this condition is Fire Control whereby the condition is suspended to allow the fireman
full control of the lift. After fire operation is complete, the lift will then return and hence stay out of
service.
Re-level Yoyo Detection
Re-levelling operations can be monitored, and a fault trigger can be programmed when an excessive
amount have been reached. The term yoyo, relates to the “yoyo toy” whereby the motion is a
continuous UP / DN. Excessive re-levelling cycles can be due to overheating hydraulic oil or faulty
proximity switches etc. Faults such as this (if ignored) may place the lift in a dangerous condition.
Programming is achieved by setting the number of yoyo’s allowed within a given time period.
Typically this is set at 12 within a 60 minute period. A re-count is made for every minute. If the
number of yoyos exceeds these settings, re-levelling is terminated, and the lift is returned to the
bottom as described in the re-level failure sequence.

35
13.6) Re-Level Parameters
Re-levelling parameters are found in Hydraulic setup (not specific to Hydraulic, but
generally), and allow typical programming as below:

Re-Level Parameters:
Parameter Min Max Default Description
RELEVEL REQUIRED NO YES NO Yes / No switch for re-levelling
MAX RELEV PERIOD 0 10 10 Max time allowed for re-levelling
RELEV YOYO COUNT 1 24 12 Number of Yoyo’s within Yoyo period
RELEV YOYO PERIOD(s) 0 120 60 Period for detection of number of Yoyo’s
RELEV UP STOP TIME(ms) 0 3000 0 Stop UP delay after re-levelling UP
RELEV DOWN STOP TIME(ms) 0 3000 0 Stop DN delay after re-levelling DN
RECOVERY TIMEOUT TIME(s) 0 180 60 Time allowed for recovery call to be completed
RELEV START TIME(ms) 0 3000 2000 Start delay before re-levelling

Positioning System Parameters:

Parameter Min Max Default Description
RE-LEV UP STOP DISTANCE(mm) 0 100 5 Up Stopping distance LEVEL to ZERO speed
RE-LEV DN STOP DISTANCE(mm) 0 100 5 Dn Stopping distance LEVEL to ZERO speed

13.7) Re-Level Event Recording

Below is a list of events that will appear in the fault logger if any errors occur with the re-
levelling system. Errors will be reported by one or more events during the sequence state, i.e.
during Re-level Start, Run, or Stop. The fault may occur for various reasons i.e. Timed
(timeout), STU / STD lost, Board Feedback, or Lock Bridge etc. Checking the logger and
event sequence will provide useful information in establishing the reason for the fault.

Re-Level Events:
Parameter Description
EMERGENCY STOP RELEVL Emergency Stop whilst re-levelling.
RELEV_START_FAULT_UP Start Fault in the UP direction. Check Re-level board feedback.
RELEV_START_FAULT_DN Start Fault in the DN direction. Check Re-level board feedback.
RELEV_RUN_FAULT_UP Run Fault in the UP direction. Check vane seq/timeout/overshoot/yoyo.
RELEV_RUN_FAULT_DN Run Fault in the DN direction. Check vane seq/timeout/overshoot/yoyo.
RELEV_STOP_FAULT_UP Stop Fault in the UP direction. Check Re-level board feedback/timeout.
RELEV_STOP_FAULT_DN Stop Fault in the DN direction. Check Re-level board feedback/timeout.
RELEV_ERR Re-level Error: warnings exceeded/stuck vanes/re-level board error.
RELEV_YOYO_ERR Excessive yoyo’s within yoyo period time (e.g. >=12 within a minute).
RELEV_HYDOTL_ERR Lift over-travelled at the top floor.
RELEV_TIMED Maximum re-level period exceeded (>=10s).
RELEV_STU_STD_LOST STU/STD Stop Vanes lost when either primed or re-levelling.
RELEV_STU_LOST STU Stop Vane lost when either primed or re-levelling.
RELEV_STD_LOST STD Stop Vane lost when either primed or re-levelling.
RELEV_SUNK_DN_ERR Sunk down and failed to re-level up. Typically vane(s) missing.
RELEV_PUMPED_UP_ERR “Sprung” up and failed to re-level dn. Typically vane(s) missing.
RELEV_LOCK_BRIDGE Lock circuit failed whilst re-levelling.
RELEV_BOARD_FEEDBACK Re-level Board feedback contact failed (starting or stopping).
RELEV_RECOVERY_FAILED Attempt to move to another floor failed.
RELEV_UNABLE_TO_RECOVER Unable to move to another floor. Check LW10/Therm/Serv.
RELEV_OVERSHOT_FLOOR_LEV Lift travelled past floor level. Chk re-level up/down stop distance/LV1.
RELEV_OUT_OF_RLEV_ZONE Lift not within re-level zone (i.e. door zone, typically 150mm).

36
13.8) Specific Hydraulic Operations
Hydraulic Homing
Hydraulic homing is a requirement of BS/EN81, relating to “Electrical Anti-Creep (EN81-2-
1998:14.2.1.5)” which states that “the car shall be dispatched automatically to the lowest
landing, within 15 minutes of the last normal journey”.
Therefore, if the lift is idle and not at the bottom floor, the Hydraulic Homing timer will start
to expire (typically 10 minutes). When the timer expires, a homing call to the bottom floor is
made. If the normal homing floor is programmed to any other floor than the bottom, the lift
will first return to the homing floor as programmed, and then Hydraulic home to the bottom
after 10 minutes.

Hydraulic Over-travel Detection

Over-travel detection is a requirement of BS/EN81, relating to “Method of operation of final
limit switch (EN81-2-1998:10.5.3)” which states that “After the operation of the final limit
switch, car movement in response to car / landing calls shall no longer be possible, even in the
case of the car leaving the actuation zone by creeping. The return to service of the lift shall
not occur automatically (10.5.3.2)”.
An input to the microprocessor is specifically reserved for Hydraulic over-travel detection.
Following this condition, and identical to re-level failure, any run is terminated, calls are
cleared, and an attempt to return the lift to the lowest floor is made. Whereby it stays out of
service, until the processor is reset (i.e. power removed / restored).
An exception to this condition is Fire Control whereby the condition is suspended to allow the
fireman full control of the lift. After fire operation is complete, the lift will then return and
hence stay out of service.

Thermistor Operation when Hydraulic

When the motor / machine room thermistors have tripped, the lift cannot move in the upwards
direction, therefore an attempt to return the lift to the lowest floor is made. Re-levelling is
inhibited at this point. The lift stays out of service until the thermistors have reset.

Journey Timer Operation

Journey timer operation is slightly different for Hydraulic lifts, whereby an attempt to bring
the lift to the bottom is made before placing the lift out of service. This applies to when the
lift was travelling in the UP direction, and not the DN.

If the lift journey timer times in the UP direction, the run is terminated and a journey timer
event is reported. An attempt to return the lift to the lowest floor is made. If journey timer
times during this run, lift movement is disabled and it stays out of service, until the processor
is reset (i.e. power removed / restored).

37
14) Advance Door Opening
(See also Re-Levelling and Advance Door Opening Board (relev / ado board))

Similar to re-levelling, Advance Door Open control is achieved using the combination of
software and a safety critical Re-Levelling / Advance Door Opening Board.
The main differences are below:
1. The vane layout is different (as shown below) whereby the Door Zone is a continuous
vane, instead of 2 separate vanes (RLU / RLD).
2. For a traction lift, The STOP TIME is generally greater; hence the vane overlapping
distance.
3. An Advance Door Open Output (from the µP) is used instead of a re-level output.

Delay=100ms. Dist typically =10mm

Advance Open Sequence (UP direction)
1. Lift approaches floor level on levelling speed.
2. Vane DZ (LV1) is energised, and at the same time STD. (Note seeing STD before DZ
will generate errors, however the processor allows a tolerance of 10mm approx)
3. The micro processor starts the sequence by energising the advance open output.
4. The advance open output signals the relev / ado board to bridge the circuit between LZ2
and LZ1 on the re-level / ado board.
5. The micro processor monitors the lock bridge circuit via a feedback contact from the re-
level board before starting the ADVANCE OPEN DELAY TIMER.
6. When the ADVANCE OPEN DELAY TIMER times, DOR energises and the doors
advance open.
7. The micro processor monitors the vane information and advance opening terminates upon
seeing both stop vanes STU / STD. (If a fault occurs, advance opening may be terminated
for various other conditions.)

The sequence for DN is almost identical to UP, except the states of STU / STD are
substituted.

The parameter "ADVANCE OPEN DELAY" (0-3000ms), found in DOOR TIMES,

determines the amount of advance door opening, i.e.
a. Shorter delay = More advance door opening
b. Greater delay = Less advance door opening

Advance Open Sequence (UP direction)

1. Lift approaches floor level whilst decelerating.
2. Vane DZ (LV1) is energised, and at the same time the position is within the “Advance
Door Open Distance” (found in the Positioning System Parameters).
1. Note if the LV1 vane is shorter than the “Advance Door Open Distance” or
missing, no event will be reported (to inhibit nuisance reporting due to uneven
distances above/below floor level). Instead the advance door opening
operation will be inhibited.
3. The micro processor starts the sequence by energising the advance open output.
4. The advance open output signals the re-lev / ado board to bridge the circuit between LZ2
and LZ1 on the re-level / ado board.
5. The micro processor monitors the lock bridge circuit via a feedback contact from the re-
level board before energising the DOR pilot relay.
6. The DOR energises and the doors advance open.

The sequence for DN is identical to UP, except the direction is reversed.

The parameter "ADVANCE DOOR OPEN DISTANCE" (0-150mm), found in POSITION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS, determines the amount of advance door opening, i.e.
a. More Distance = More advance door opening
b. Less Distance = Less advance door opening

14.3) Conditions Affecting Advance Door Opening

1. If the door zone vane (DZ) to processor input LV1 has not energised when seen a stopping
vane. The event “RELEV/ADO VANE1 MISSN” will be generated.
2. If the DZ feedback to processor input LV2 has not energised when the relev / ado board
has been signalled to bridge the circuit between LZ2 and LZ1. The event “ADO LOCK
BRIDGE FAIL” will be generated.
3. Any stuck vanes / signals will inhibit advance opening. Events in the logger such as below
may be generated:
a. "RELEV/ADO VANE1 STUCK"
b. "RELEV/ADO VANE2 STUCK"
c. " STU AND STD STUCK "
d. " STU STUCK "
e. " STD STUCK "
4. The wrong stopping vane sequence will inhibit advance opening. Events in the logger
such as below may be generated:
a. " STOP VANE FAULT UP "
b. " STOP VANE FAULT DN "
5. Other conditions which will inhibit advance door opening are:
a. When not set for advance door open (DOOR PAR, advance door open = NO)
b. When not normal service i.e. Fire / Fire Alarm Recall.
c. When constant pressure open i.e. Service Control.
d. When doors are disabled.
e. When Open on switches are disabled:
i. Open on Init
ii. Open on Reset
iii. Open on Homing etc.
f. When on High Speed.
g. When not arrived at destination.

15) Despatcherless Group Control

The ALMEGA 2 processor has the capability and performance to provide a fast and efficient
lift despatching service from Duplex up to many cars in a lift Group. This service is provided
without an external despatcher.

The despatching service is based upon an “Estimated Time of Arrival” (ETA) algorithm,
which calculates an estimated arrival time for each landing call. The calculations are based
mainly upon lift speed, acceleration/deceleration times, door opening/closing times etc., and
even down to the fine details such as car preference time and door dwell time.

The ETA’s are modelled within the microprocessor to allow the user to select the type of
response required. Also parameters may be set to give an accurate representation of lift door
timings; furthermore parameters may be set to measure accurately against times set, for
Optimum performance. All these parameters can be found in the ETA Setup.

The Despatcherless system operates whereby one lift becomes the Master of the group. The
decision of who is master is based upon the lowest lift number of the lifts that are connected.
If two lifts have the same lift number an error will be recorded in the fault logger. Correct
setting of the lift numbers i.e. parameter MY LIFT NUMBER in System Details will ensure
trouble free operation. If the Master is removed from operation for any reason, then service
continues since another lift will take over control, and this passing control would continue up
to the last car remaining.

The Master receives information from each lift and calculates an estimated time of arrival for
each lift to every call. The Master then allocates calls to each lift based upon the ETA’s. The
calls are despatched and updated many times a second. Homing calls are also controlled by
the Master, and lifts are despatched to the homing floors based upon the nearest, as and when
required.

41
15.1) Group Algorithms

UP CALLS UP PEAK
When the number of up landing calls within the lift system is greater than the UP PEAK
threshold (typically half the number of floors). The ALMEGA 2 detects an UP CALLS UP
PEAK condition and reacts by strategically parking lifts within the Group, to give a faster
response to the likelihood of further up calls. It achieves this by detecting the lowest up call
and parking the available lifts from this floor upwards in anticipation.

DN CALLS DN PEAK
When the number of down landing calls within the lift system is greater than the DN PEAK
threshold (typically half the number of floors). The ALMEGA 2 detects a DN CALLS DN
PEAK condition and reacts by strategically parking lifts within the Group, to give a faster
response to the likelihood of further down calls. It achieves this by detecting the highest down
call and parking the available lifts from this floor downwards in anticipation.

BALANCED HEAVY TRAFFIC

When the number of down landing calls within the lift system is greater than the DN PEAK
threshold, and the number of up landing calls within the lift system is greater than the UP
PEAK threshold. The ALMEGA 2 detects a BALANCED HEAVY TRAFFIC condition, and
reacts by strategically parking lifts within the Group, to give a faster response to the
likelihood of further up and down calls. It achieves this by detecting the lowest up call and
highest down call, and parks the available lifts from these floors upwards and downwards
respectively in anticipation.

MAIN FLOOR UP PEAK

When the main flow of traffic is from the main floor up to various destinations, i.e. during the
population of a building, the ALMEGA 2 detects a MAIN FLOOR UP PEAK condition. It
reacts by strategically parking lifts within the Group to the main floor so that persons wishing
to travel from the main floor have a significantly reduced waiting time. It achieves this by
load sensing whilst the lifts are travelling from the main floor, and when a threshold is
reached all available lifts park at the main floor.

42
16) Serial Communication Types
The ALMEGA 2 has been designed with many types of on board communications. These
different types of communications allow a wide range of uses for interfacing to the processor.
Typical uses, are detailed below:

CAN Communications (Controller Area Network)

The CAN communication ports provide an interface to a range of serial products including
Lester Controls Serial Speech Unit and Indicators. Also communications between lifts,
specific drives, and Position Encoder are carried out over the CAN bus. Below details the uses
of the CAN buses for devices that may be fitted:

17) CAN Physical Layer Connections

Bus Connections
The CAN field bus consists of two wires named CAN HIGH (CANH) and CAN LOW
(CANL). These two wires carry all the serial information, and must be wired correctly for
proper operation of the CAN field bus. In the event of a wiring error however, they can
withstand short circuits to either +24V supply or 0V supply.

Importance of Bus Terminators

It is vital for correct operation that the bus terminators (settable via links) are connected to
either end of the CAN field bus as shown below. These terminators are simply resistors of
value 120Ω which are used to match the impedance of the cable.

17.6) CAN field bus Fault Finding
The CAN field bus driver components that reside on each of the communication boards are
very robust, as they can withstand short circuits to each other (CH to CL), and short circuits to
either supply rail i.e. 0V & 24V. However they are not indestructible, and the fault finding
procedure below, is intended for the rare case that one or more driver components may have
got damaged, on one or more of the serial products.

Firstly, if there is a fault, the chance of anything working correctly on the bus is rare, and the
majority of the time communication will cease. Within the Event History menu, an event such
as below will indicate a CAN problem:

CAR CAN BUS OFF ERROR

(CAR CAN communications connection or short circuit error)

Within the ALMEGA 2 menu, the “CAN DIAGNOSTICS” screen provides information
relating to the health of each CAN bus, see menu & programming section. This is
particularly useful for fault finding!

Also LED indication on the CPU board can help, i.e. CAN LED’s TX and RX should flash on
frequently and mostly together. Either one of these flashing on its own, or staying ON will
indicate a problem.

Identifying a fault on a TC3 Indicator / Speech unit can be relatively simple, as the LED
indication on each of the boards will flash in a specific way to indicate a CAN bus fault. The
“COMMS” LED, which is “RED” in colour will flash faster than normal (every
40milliseconds) to indicate a CAN bus fault. The LED should flash “ON” at a rate of once per
second (if data is not changing i.e. position / doors etc.) if normal and once every
40milliseconds if there is a fault.

The following will establish whether or not a device is faulty:

1) Remove the power from that device.
2) Remove the CAN connections from that device (i.e. CH & CL).
3) Re-connect the power.
4) If the LED “C” is not flashing, that device is OK!
5) If the LED “C” is flashing “ON” once every 40milliseconds, that device is FAULTY!

This procedure should be repeated for all devices on the bus, until all faulty devices have been
identified. Faulty devices cannot be repaired easily on site and should be returned to Lester
Control Systems for repair.

18) RS422 / RS485 Connections
Similar to the CAN field bus, RS422 and RS485, also require bus terminators connected to
either end of the field bus. These terminators are simply resistors of value 120Ω which are
used to match the impedance of the cable.
The following shows connections for RS422/485 respectively (with BUS terminations):

19) Serial Indicator and Speech Unit Controls Overview

The ALMEGA 2 has many features and controls applicable to the TC3 Indicator and Speech
unit. These controls, settable via parameters, provide a user-friendly interface, and increase
flexibility, making factory and site setup/modifications relatively simple. The ALMEGA 2 is
able to interface directly to the TC3 products, without an interface unit.

Using a P.C, or laptop, is the most user friendly way for programming / setup, however this
also can be achieved using the ALMEGA 2 menu system.

The Serial Indicator can be programmed for:

i) Floor Position Text 2 to 16 characters.
ii) Message Text 2 to 35 characters.
a. Messages are usually automatically selected according to specific conditions
(i.e. INSPECTION CONTROL when on inspection and FIRE CONTROL
when on FIRE etc).
b. There are also 6 user programmable messages which may be triggered from an
external input or from an internal processor condition.
c. Messages are also prioritised to a specific order, but the priorities may be
changed to suit.
iii) There are a selection of enable controls for:
a. Character Colours.
b. Direction Arrow controls.
c. Hall Lantern Controls.
d. Gong Output Enable & Hush Times.
e. 2 Digit Controls.
f. Scroll Speed

The Serial Speech Unit can be programmed for:

i) Position Phrases 1 to 5 phrases.
ii) Door Phrases 1 to 5 phrases.
iii) Direction Phrases 1 to 5 phrases.
iv) Message Phrases 1 to 5 phrases.
a. Messages are usually automatically selected according to specific conditions
(i.e. INSPECTION CONTROL when on inspection and FIRE CONTROL
when on FIRE etc).
b. There are also 6 user programmable messages which may be triggered from an
external input or from an internal processor condition.
c. Messages are also prioritised to a specific order, but the priorities may be
changed to suit.
v) There are a selection of enable controls for:
a. Mind the Doors annunciation.
b. Speech between Floors.
c. Speech trigger when stopped.
d. Direction repeated when closing.
e. Gong Output Enable & Hush Times.

See menu & programming section for more information.
