1.7.3 Description of function

S The lift control system sends the command signals to the DELCON
via potential-free relay contacts or semiconductors
S The feedback value is compared with the demand travel curve and
controlled throughout the whole travel
S Deviations from the demand curve are corrected by alteration of the
analogue speed setting for the frequency inverter
S The closed-loop control ensures that the travel characteristics are
independent of load and temperature
300-I-9010141-EN-07/07.2019 17/90
S The inspection speed can be set through command K5 of the lift

control system (there is no monitoring of maximum permissible
demand/feedback deviation during travel at inspection speed!)
S Reduced speeds for short travel distances are also possible via
command signals K6…K8
S The DELCON enables soft-stopping (gentle halt) with very accurate
positioning (±3 mm)
Features
S The travel curve for the up and down directions is set and adjusted
with the Handterminal or a PC
S The demand curve can be set and checked at the DELCON while the
lift is at standstill
S Measured values can be checked with the Handterminal
S The DELCON card is easy to exchange (1 card for all valves), which
means that rapid fault-fixing is ensured
IMPORTANT!: If the DELCON is exchanged, the
installation-specific parameters must be replicated in the new card.

1.8.1 Description
The power supply unit is connected directly to the main supply.
The control signals for the DELCON are connected to the terminal block
(3).
Through the terminals 18-17a (N.O. make contact)
18-17b (N.C. break contact)
a relay output is provided.
Its function is defined in the DELCON by the settings of the ”SIU type”
and ”Relay function” parameters.
Parameter “SIU type”

1 SIU-1: relay switches when the demand/feedback
difference is exceeded (there is no SIU-1 monitoring
during inspection speed with K5!).
1+4 SIU-1 (functions as above) and SIU-4: relay switches
when the speed set with the parameter “SIU-4 threshold”
is exceeded.
Parameter ”Relay function”

only SIU1 The relay on the power supply unit switches only
when there is an SIU-1 fault.
all errors The relay on the power supply unit switches with any
fault.
only SIU4 The relay on the power supply unit switches only
when there is an SIU-4 fault.
For a detailed overview of the combined effects of the parameters “SIU
type and “Relay function”, ⇒table on page73
JP1 selects the relay's passive state:

1-2 Current flows through the relay in its passive state (no
current when function is activated)

22/90 300-I-9010141-EN-07/07.2019
IMPORTANT!: Operating the power supply unit in the safety circuit

allows the omission of the safety relays R1 and R2, however, it
involves the following disadvantages:
S The frequent powering up and down reduces the service life of the
DELCON electronic card
S To set the mechanical zero point, the power-supply unit must be
fed with the safety-circuit voltage
S The soft-stop will not function correctly if the input voltage is
switched off immediately
S After closing the safety circuit, there must be a pause of around
0.5 seconds before a command signal K1…K8 can be applied
S Delays of up to 2seconds may occur until the lift starts
Bucher Hydraulics therefore discourages the operation of the power supply unit
in the safety circuit.
The jumper JP2 connects terminal 12 of the command signal terminal
strip to the terminal PE of the mains voltage connection, thus earthing
the reference potential of the command inputs (standard setting).
ATTENTION!
Creating an earth loop
Earth loops can cause malfunctions.
If the jumper JP2 is set, the reference potential of the command
input must not be earthed a second time on the lift-control side.
If the reference potential of the command inputs cannot be
insulated from earth on the lift-control side, the jumper JP2 must
be removed.
ATTENTION!
Damage to the DELCON electronic card
Connecting the VF-NTA‐2 to the mains WITHOUT a
DELCON inserted will charge capacitors on the VF-NTA‐2, and
the charges will persist for a long time.
Inserting the DELCON into a VF-NTA‐2 whose capacitors are
charged can damage the DELCON.
A VF-NTA‐2 without a DELCON inserted must NOT be connected
to the mains at any time.

IMPORTANT!: The feedback cable must be run from the lift control
valve directly to the VF-NTA‐2 power supply unit without any
intermediate terminals. Any discontinuity in the feedback cable
(break, kink, etc.) can endanger trouble-free operation.
It is essential that connection 2 is ground-bonded to terminal 12, other
wise the zero point of the sensor will not be stable.

Heat Ensure fresh-air supply and warm-air extraction
Noise Sound-proof the entrance to lift shaft (noise transmission)
1.13 Option: Frequency inverter operation without motor contactors

(UnidriveSP)
In order to use the operation mode “Frequency inverter operation
without motor contactors“ the following conditions must be met:
S Frequency inverter Unidrive SP has firmware V01.15 or higher
S Frequency inverter Unidrive SP has SYPTLite PLC program
S DELCON has software V2.150 or higher
If the option “Frequency inverter operation without motor contactors“ is
specified at order placement, Bucher Hydraulics will make sure that the
above mentioned conditions are met.
1.13.1 Incentive
In July 2009 TÜV NORD CERT GmbH issued a conformity statement
relating to the type approval of the frequency inverter Unidrive SP for
the application “Inverter drive for hydraulic lifts without integration of
motor contactors acc. to EN81 in the motor circuit”. This means that an
approval can be obtained on the basis of a type approval or an individu
al approval of the overall concept.

The safety concept is based on a 24 V signal (e.g. from terminal 22)
being routed via the normally open contacts of two travel relays
(arranged in series) to the safety-oriented input SD (Secure Disable) of
the Unidrive SP.

1.13.4 To-dos during project phase

The following points require special attention:
IMPORTANT!: The overall concept requires either an individual
approval or a type approval. The conformity statement (by TÜV
Nord GmbH) relating to the type approval for the application
“Inverter drive for hydraulic lifts without integration of motor
contactors acc. to EN81-2 in the motor circuit” will serve as the
basis. For further details, see p. 46, section 4.2.4.
IMPORTANT!: Place the order specifying the option “Inverter
operation without motor contactors” in order to make sure that all
components will be properly parameterised.
IMPORTANT!: The monitoring of the proper drop-out of the small
contactors FR1 and FR1` acc. to EN81-2 remains necessary and
must be executed by the lift control.
IMPORTANT!: In order to optimise the fault monitoring, we recom
mend that the SIU relay contact (power supply VF-NTA-2,
terminals 17a…18) is monitored by the lift control.
1.14 Option: Frequency inverter operation with reduced current consumption

In order to use the operation mode “Reduced current consumption“ the
following condition must be met:
S DELCON has software V2.150 or higher
1.14.1 Incentive
In order not to have to design the mains power rating for maximum load
at maximum speed, there is an option to define travel speeds depending
on the load.
By altering the travel speed during UP travel depending on the load (car
loading), the maximum mains power rating can be significantly reduced.
Travel DOWN remains constant at the nominal speed
30/90 300-I-9010141-EN-07/07.2019
1.14.2 Functionality of “reduced current comsumption”

The reduced current consumption is achieved by reducing the travel
speed depending on the car load.
Before travel starts, the total load is determined by measurement of the
system pressure and the travel speed is reduced in steps. Hence the
predetermined maximum mains current will not be exceeded.
The graph below demonstrates current comsumption and travel speed
at various car loads (static load) for 3 pressure thresholds.

Static pressure (load)
The system pressure is determined before travel start by means of addi

preconfigured auxiliary speeds of the DELCON (K6…K8). This controls
the reduced speeds.
Either two or three pressure thresholds can be chosen. The higher the
number of pressure thresholds, the finer the speed can be adjusted.

Notes concerning operation without motor contactors

IMPORTANT!: In order to ensure safe operation, the conditions of
the conformity statement (by TÜV Nord GmbH) relating to the type
approval for the application “Inverter drive for hydraulic lifts without
integration of motor contactors acc. to EN81 in the motor circuit”
must be met.
IMPORTANT!: The wiring between the external switching means
and the input, the safe controller inhibit (secure disable) at the fre
quency inverter drive, and for the valve control signal for the down
ward movement must be laid in a protected manner (e.g. run in
cable conduits).
IMPORTANT!: The max. capacity of the relay contacts for travel
enable (terminals 41…42) on the frequency inverter is 2A / 240
VAC.
Notes concerning operation with reduced current consumption

IMPORTANT!: The number of pressure switches (DZE) depends
on the number of pressure thresholds chosen.
IMPORTANT!: The priority of the inputs K6…K8 on the power
supply VF-NTA‐2 is in descending order. Therefore the wiring must
be executed strictly acc. to the diagram.
IMPORTANT!: Auxiliary relays K6-1, K7-1 und K8-1 (lift control)
are not included in the scope of delivery. The maximum switching
current of the pressure switches (DZE) is 1.2A, the voltage drop
is 2 VDC.
300-I-9010141-EN-07/07.2019 47/90
4.2.5 Electrical emergency-lowering 2 x 24 VDC

IMPORTANT!: The operator must undertake any further
measures required to ensure short-circuit and overvoltage protec
tion.
If a mains (line) failure occurs, the power supply unit can be powered by
an external battery supply (2 x 24 V) through terminals 12, 19 and 20.
S Relay RN drops out when there is a power failure and the two
normally-closed relays connect to the battery
I Inputs 19 and 20 have diode-protection from polarity reversal or
feedback to the battery.
S The lift can be lowered to a predefined stopping position by means of
”Slow DOWN” or auxiliary speed K6…K8 (travel signals are
generated by the lift control system or by a push-button switch).
IMPORTANT!: only possible with 2 x 24V (or 4 x 12V) batteries

4.3.5 Setting the demand/feedback response difference, SIU-1

The SIU-1 function monitors the deviation of the actual travel curve from
the demand travel curve.
S If the permissible deviation is exceeded the DELCON electronic card
automatically triggers an emergency stop.The LEDs ERROR and
SIU-1 on the DELCON light up.
S Provided that the parameters “SIU type” and “Relay function” are set
accordingly (⇒table on page73), the relay actuates (terminals 17a/b
and 18). The actuation of the relay can be evaluated by the lift control
system.
S The deviation from the demand speed which will trigger a SIU-1
(”SIU-1 difference”) can be set with the Handterminal or PC software
4.3.6 Setting the speed-monitoring in the unlocking zone of the door, SIU-4
The SIU-4 function monitors the speed during levelling, relevelling and
anti creeping. Depending on the settings of “SIU type” and “Relay
function” (⇒table on page73), the relay actuates (terminals 17a/b and
18). The actuation of the relay can be evaluated by the lift control
system in order to prevent the opening of the doors if the max.
permissible speed (acc. to EN81: 0.3m/s) is exceeded.
S The speed which will trigger a SIU-4 (”SIU-4 threshold”) can be set
with the Handterminal or PC software

IMPORTANT!:Pressure switches (DZE) are delivered
without any presettings. Hence the switching threshold and
hysteresis must be configured for the individual switching
outputs during commissioning.
The contract-specific pressure thresholds can be read from the large
nameplate label (field marked red):
In this case 3 pressure thresholds are shown:

p3 37 1.5 K6 82%
IMPORTANT!:The priority of the inputs K6…K8 on the

power supply VF-NTA‐2 (DELCON) is in descending order.
Therefore the wiring must be executed strictly acc. to the
diagram.
60/90 300-I-9010141-EN-07/07.2019
Parameterisation DELCON
The auxiliary speeds (K6-K8) come with a factory setting. In order to
optimise the travel curve, the parameters for acceleration / deceleration
of the K6, K7 and K8 speeds need to be adjusted.
Relevant parameters for the option “reduced current consumption”:

Functional test at commissioning

The following instructions refer to the option “reduced current
consumption” only.
300-I-9010141-EN-07/07.2019 61/90
1. Make sure that no travel can be started
3. Connect the Handterminal
4. Slowly build up pressure with the hand pump, until the pressure
thresholds (p1-p3) are reached one after another and at the same
time check the status of the command inputs K8…K6:
K6 K7 K8
K1-K8 0000 0001

C: +0.00 F: +0.00
When the pressure thresholds are reached the command signals

K8 to K6 must change one after another from 0 to 1.
5. Release the pressure using the emergency lowering. While doing

so the command inputs K6…K8 must change from 1 to 0 one after
another.
6. Reopen the ball valve

4.3.13 Pipe rupture valve test

A precondition for testing the pipe-rupture valve is that the lift must be
working properly, without any faults.
DANGER!
Uncontrolled descent (free fall).
Leads to death or serious injuries.
Before testing the pipe-rupture valve, make sure that there are no
people or materials in the lift shaft.
Preparing to test the pipe rupture valve
1. Load the car to half of its rated capacity
2. Drive the car to the top floor
IMPORTANT!:Do not carry out the test if the car is too close to the
lowest floor.
Test of pipe rupture valve is prepared
300-I-9010141-EN-07/07.2019 63/90
Testing the pipe-rupture valve (for DELCON software version 2.110 or

higher, Handterminal required)
ATTENTION!
Uncontrolled descent (free fall)
Can cause damage to the support frame and car.
The elevator car must come to rest within 3…5metres.
If it does not, immediately release the +-key of the Handterminal.
Resolve the problem and repeat the test.
1. On the Handterminal, select the “Pipe rupture" function in the In

formation (4) menu under “Commands"
2. Press and hold the + key on the Handterminal; the DOWN LED on
the DELCON will start to flash
3. Send DOWN command
4. Wait until the car is accelerating
5. When the triggering speed is reached, the pipe rupture valve closes
and travel stops.
IMPORTANT!:Releasing the + key on the Handterminal stops the
travel, and the maximum feedback value is displayed. If the DOWN
command is still present on quitting the menu, travel will resume
normally.
IMPORTANT!:Pipe rupture valves do not close completely leak
age free.
In case of a simulated pipe rupture, as described in this test proced
ure, the leakage causes the pipe between the pipe rupture valve
and the lift control valve to assume the same pressure as the hy
draulic cylinder after a certain time.
This pressure compensation causes the automatic reopening of
the pipe rupture valve.
This does not impede the safe function of the pipe rupture valve in
case of an actual pipe rupture, since in case of an actual pipe rup
ture the pipe between the rupture valve and the lift control valve
would remain without pressure, and the pressure compensation
would therefore not occur.
If the pipe rupture valve is meant to remain closed after the test,
the pipe between the rupture valve and the lift control valve must
remain pressure-less, e.g. by continuous pressing of the manual
emergency lowering valve.
The pipe-rupture valve has been successfully tested

6. In order to reopen the pipe rupture valve and make the lift ready for
service: build up pressure using the hand pump or carry out an UP
travel
The system is once again ready for use

5.5 Calculating the demand values for maximum speed

The label on the rear of the DELCON front plate gives the demand value
information.
The demand values for the maximum UP and DOWN speeds can be
calculated from the following table:
Valve type Flow range, Q Flow ring Conversion

[l/min.]
100…175 R175 1V <=> 19.3l/min.

176…250 R250 1V <=> 26.7l/min.
VF-LRV 350
251…350 R350 1V <=> 38.3l/min.
351…500 R500 1V <=> 52.2l/min.
Calculation example:
®Flow rate UP (Q) 285l/min.
¯Flow rate DOWN (Q) 300l/min.
Valve selection:
VF−LRV350 R350/K501/VN ¬Valve type VF-LRV 350
Flow range 251…350l/min. *

Flow ring R350
285 / 300 l/min 21 / 45 bar Conversion 1V <=> 38.3l/min. *

P min−max/adj 7−65 / 55 bar Conversion:
Flow rate UP:
285[l/min] / 38.3[l/min] = 7,44V Fast UP
Flow rate DOWN:
300[l/min] / 38.3[l/min] = 7,83V Fast DOWN
→ Settings in the DELCON
* These values are taken from the above table.

Oil temperature HL and HLP mineral oils to DIN 51 524, other

fluids – contact BUCHER!
Oil additive: Shell Tonna S.

When the movement of the lift cylinder at low speeds tends to be jerky,
an oil additive with special sliding properties is required. In this case, the
oil additive Shell Tonna S is approved.
Alternatively: standard HLP hydraulic oil Motorex Hydrogliss 202.
When Shell Tonna S cannot be employed, an alternative is to use a
standard HLP hydraulic oil together with the oil additive supplied by
Bucher Hydraulics AG.
Other oil additives are not permitted.
ATTENTION!
The volume of oil additive that is mixed in must not exceed 2 %
