2 SAFETY

Note the following safety items when working with V3F18 drive system:

• Refer to AM-01.03.002 "Take 5 Electrical Safety When Working on the Elevators". The Take 5 safety
initiative is designed for installation, servicing, maintenance and modernisation work done on the lifts.
• Cover of the drive module must be kept closed always when not working with the module, even if the
main power has been switched OFF.
• Power must be turned OFF 5 min. before removing protection shields. NOTE that led “DANGER” on
the inverter board can not be seen.
• Prevent reconnection of possible emergency power supplies etc.
• Check that there is no voltage (AC) in terminals of the contactor 201:1. Check operation of the tester
before and after the test.
• Voltage level 380-440 VAC.
• Check that there is no voltage (DC) in the intermediate circuit between plus (+) and minus (-)
conductors. Also in the motor and braking resistor terminals). Check operation of the tester before
and after the test.
• Voltage level 550-750 VDC.
• Do not continue the work after opening the covers of the drive unit before checking that all circuits
are safely de-energized.
• Safety must be ensured with additional fences or guarding, depending on the site conditions.
• Ensure that the working site do not cause a danger to the outsiders in the staircase! It is strongly
recommended to use additional fences or guarding to prevent dangerous situations. E.g. the
outsiders enter the working zone or some parts or tools cause risks of tripping on the landing.
• Use temporary insulation shields or fences. In case that there are unprotected live parts in the vicinity
of the working zone.

WARNING
High voltage (750 VDC) remains in the power components (Intermediate
circuit) about 5 minutes after power cut.
Before starting actual work check using a proper voltage tester that all
electrical circuits are safely de-enegized or protected.
All possible power sources; Mains power supply, separate power supply for
lighting, emergency power supply etc

3 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

System contains hazardous waste material (for example replaced capacitors). Waste material must be
taken care of according to the local requirements and KONE Environment Policy.

4 MAINTENANCE GUIDELINE FOR V3F18 DRIVE SYSTEM
4.1 Drive unit
Step Checks
1 All protective covers and devices must be
correctly positioned and fixed.
2 Investigate electro-mechanical devices,
noise, sparks temperature etc.
3 Connections of main circuit terminals must be
tight.
4 Load weighing adjustment must be accurate.
5 Drive panel cover must not fall down when
opened.
6 Check operation of the fan.
7 To ensure undisturbed operation of the
elevator replace wearing parts:
• DC capacitors of the intermediate circuit
after 8 years.
• Fan after 3 years.
5 LEVELLING ACCURACY SETTING
Step Action
1 Drive the lift car in normal drive to all
landings. Drive to the landings in both
directions.
Measure the difference between the car and
landing sill at each floor.
2 Readjust the final stopping accuracy, if
necessary. (Vane positions)
3 Perform SETUP drive after re-adjustment.

Actions
Fix all removed protective parts back. If
missing get spare part.
Abnormal events indicate possible fault. Find
out the root cause. Replace faulty component
with the spare part before final break down.
Check and retighten annually.
NOTE: Power must be OFF during this
operation!
Check and adjust when needed.
Adjust or repair the securing system.
See AS-11.65.005 Repair Instruction for
V3F18 Drive System.
Ambient temperature 40° C, continuos
operation.
Note
Maximum leveling deviation is +/- 5 mm.
Refer to the delivery documents (drive
V3F18).

6 LOAD WEIGHING SETUP

Step Action Note

1 Check and adjust the gap between the LWD
sensor and the moving plate to 5 mm. Use
the adjustment plate delivered.
2 Set the value of parameter 6_74 to 0
(= Zero point).
3 Save the value (6_99, value 1).
The operation of the load weighing device is
not totally linear. If it is difficult to get correct
load values when driving with full load, give
the system a third reference point.

4 Put from 40 % to 60 % of the nominal load

into the car and give the parameter 6_74 the V 2
weight of the load in kilos
1
(= Intermediate point).
5 Save the value (6_99, value 1).

1. Slope defined by 40 % to 60 % load.

2. Slope defined by more than 90 % load.
6 Put more than 90 % of the nominal load into If you gave the second value for more than
the car and give the parameter 6_74 the load 90% of the nominal load, you cannot give the
value in kilos third reference point.
(= Full load point).
7 Save the value (6_99, value 1).
8 If necessary, you can clear the load weight
values by setting the parameter 6_74 to -1.

7 SHAFT SETUP

Step Action Note

1 Drive the car below the bottom floor in RDF
mode.
2 Check that the LED’s 30, 61:U, 77:N and 77S
on the user interface board are lit.
3 Activate the setup mode in menu 5_2, value
1.
4 Turn the RDF switch OFF. The car will start
the setup drive.
5 Follow the setup drive steps on the user
interface.
LED 61:N is OFF.
The buzzer on the HCBN board starts to
sound long beeps with some delay.
The elevator starts to drive upwards with low
setup speed. If setup does not start, check
the car lighting supply and option switches.
Menu 4_1 shows the lift mode.
If the elevator stops before the topmost floor
you can see the possible reason in the user
interface menu, drive faults during setup:
codes 1.11-1.16.
Elevator is ready for normal drive when the
elevator stops at the topmost floor and the
user interface shows the topmost floor
number.
