station lower forced switch off and door zone connected). It will begin to self learn
 after closing door under ON mode. The self learning will finish and lift stop
automatically while lift run to upper position station when reaching door zone.
Note: The self learning is successful while the floor value increased sequential. The
floor value can be 3 maximum if connecting direction wrong for phase A-B or
without pulse input. For dual speed lift, it needn’t self-learning just only to enter
the highest floor number.

《18》MAUNAL DOOR: Under manual status, it need to press pushbutton to close

door for long if set to ON. If set to OFF, the lift will stop by hall call signal.
《19》MANUAL DIRECTION: While landing call under manual status, it cannot
stop lift while set to “ON”. If set to “OFF”, the lift can be stopped under landing
call conditions by manual status.
《1A》CONVERTER SELECT: Select frequency inverter.
《1B》DIFERFLOOR: Difference between the floor absolute value of two lifts
while two lifts parallel connection. While the floor of two lifts is same, this value is
“0”; and while one lift has base floor and the other doesn’t, the value will be “1”.
MicoM3 micro controller is defined that address of lift without base floor (《11》
address menu) is “2” and the other is “1”.
《1C》Software version.
《1D》Pulse number for encoder. If the pulse divided, it needs to enter the pulse
number after frequency divided. If enter wrong, the running curve will be possible
display not normally.

3.2.3 TIME Menu (【20】Time)

《21》STOP: Set the delay time for main contactor off when all speed signals

setting is used in the MANUAL mode.
《29》GONG: set the lasting time of arrival gong.
《2A》SPEED STOP: Set the delay time to cut off all speed signals while entering
into door zone. It will cut off all speed signals when the pulse value reach to set
value after decelerating to door zone. In case of pulse calculate invalidate, this time
is set to protect so it will later than the time normally cut off. But make sure this
time doesn’t too long otherwise it cannot stop to nearest station while self secure.
《2B》FLOOR PROTECT: Floor protect time. The micro controller must get
decelerate point signal of each floor in this time; otherwise the micro controller
will display E4 error and the lift will decelerate and stop at the nearest.
《2C》TIME1: While adjusting the inspection speed, delay the time for brake
direction after the brake off. When the value is of “0”, it won’t delay.
《2D》TIME2: This is for setting time for protecting steel wire rope slip while the

3.3 Self-learning of the hoistway data (used for frequency inverter. If for

dual speed lift, it needn’t self-learning just only input the highest floor.)
Make sure all the hoistway switches are in order, such as limit switch, forced
decelerating switch, and leveling switch.
Adjust ascending and descending forced deceleration distance.
While inspection, it runs to the lower station. I.e. the lower forced switch of terminal
station is off and the leveling switch connecting.
Lift is automatic running after return back to station.
Enter into the sub menu learning of config menu to select ON mode after
automatically close door. The lift starts running in the inspect speed automatically.
It automatically stops when arriving the top floor level. After finishing self-learning
of the hoistway data, the lift can run in high speed.
Note: to optimize the use of the lift, self-learn the hoistway data after re-adjusting
the forced deceleration distance or re-adjusting the position signal of door zone.

Some notices during self learning:

1, To sure self learning successful, the leveling sensor and forced switch must be
correct.
2, Make sure the input of pulse encoder must be correct and adopting two phase
counting. The connection for pulse input and phase must be accurate in order that pulse
will be increased while running up and decreased while running down. Otherwise,
please change the A-B phase of input. (Note: the A-B phase of encoder input cannot be
changed.)
3, Self learning is successful if the floor display changes and stops until increasing to
the highest floor. Otherwise, you should check whether the leveling inductor, forced
switch and input and phase of encoder pulse is correct.

3.4 Adjusting Leveling Precision

(1) Test method for VVVF lift
To improve leveling precision and speed up inspection process, during the course of
installing the magnetism-proof board, let the inductor in the middle of the board while
the lift-car at the leveling position. The magnetism-proof board is about 200 – 250 mm
in length.

MICOLIFT M3 system provides a function of adjusting the floor pulse number to

adjust leveling precision, needn’t entering the hoistway to adjust the magnetism-proof
board, thus speed up inspection process. The following are adjusting steps.
During installing the magnetism-proof board, let the inductor in the middle of the
board while the lift-car at the leveling position.
Adjust the inverter to move the lift to a certain floor upwards and downwards, stop
at the same position.
Comparing the real leveling position and the ideal leveling point, if the lift-car
doesn’t arrive at the ideal leveling point, then increase the pulse number of this
floor; otherwise decrease the pulse number of the floor, until the lift levels
precisely.
To adjust leveling through amend the pulse number. As the leveling will change
after self-learnng again, it is advised to reach leveling through moving leveling
inductor. Method is as followed:
Adjust the inverter to move the lift to a certain floor upwards and downwards, stop
at the same position.
Measure the differ value △Y between real position and leveling point. If the
leveling position is lower than leveling point, it should move the leveling inductor
upward of the distance for △Y. Contrarily, it should move the leveling inductor
downward of the distance for △Y.
Test method for dual speed lift:
Just move upward or downward properly for the leveling inductor according to the
leveling point and used with brake to test when necessary.

3.5 Establishing the deceleration distance

The system establishes the ascending and descending braking points according to the
value of the descending forced braking distance. This value is automatically measured
during the course of hoistway data measurement; it can also be adjusted by the user. For
lifts running more than 1.6m/s, two forced braking switch are installed for ascending
use and descending use. The system will measured low-speed forced braking distance
(the second lower forced braking distance) as every floor’s low-speed braking distance
and first lower forced braking distance as high speed braking distance while
self-learning hoistway data. For lifts of 2.0m/s, high-speed braking distance is twice of
the medium-speed braking distance. According to the above principles, the medium
speed forced braking distance must be proper and self learn hoistway data again.

The reference value of the forced deceleration distance

For lifts of 1.0m/s: 1.5m – 1.7m;
For lifts of 1.5m/s: 2.3m – 2.6m;
For lifts of 1.75m/s: second forced deceleration distance: 1.5m – 1.8m;
first forced deceleration distance: 2.5m – 3.0m;
For lifts of 2.0m/s: second forced deceleration distance: 1.5m – 1.7m;
first forced deceleration distance: 3.0m – 3.4m.
