Ⅱ MICO ARMEG Startup Guide
After the system was powered on and reset, it will detect if LCD is. And
display screen can show the LCD’s information automatically.
<See Figure 2-1>

Figure 2-1 copyright information


About 1 second later, the system begins loading config data. <Figure 2-2>
shows the state of loading success. If loading failed (maybe the Flash was
damaged, or first power up), then the screen will show like <Figure 2-3>

Figure 2-2

Figure 2-3
When the loading failed, the system can use and store default setting in
Flash.
When the loading successes, the system will be wait for re-arrangement of
user. The waiting time is about 5seconds<See Figure 2-4>.The system will prompt
user to input password when the user press any key during the 5 seconds<See
Figure 2-5>.
If password is correct, user is allowed to enter ‘Parameter Config’
interface<See Figure 2-6>.if password is incorrect, or user pressed ‘cancel’, the
system will keep a state of waiting. At that moment, the user only press ‘Reset’
key to restart.
The initial password: 000000.

If user does not press any key during the 5 seconds, the system will run, and
the CANBUS port will be initialized at the same time.
If initialize CANBUS has done<See Figure 2-7>, the normal running will start
for a while<See Figure 2-9>.

Figure 2-7
If initialization failed<See Figure 2-8>, the software could run, but couldn’t
run normally. The user should check any problem exists on hardware.

Figure 2-8
The normal running of information will display on LCD screen: the
current time, the current dispatching schedule, and some small black dots. If this is
not any action for press key in 30 seconds, no display more, even close backlights.

This group control board provides two CAN ports for communicating with the microcomputer
controller of lift. Generally, when this system is running, only one of the ports will be used, and the
other one will function as the stand-by port.
Ⅱ Guidance on start-up of BLT ARMEG
After the group control board is connected with the power and started up, the system will detect
if LCD is installed. If installed, the information on software version will be displayed on the screen,
as shown in Figure 2-1.

After about 1 second, the system starts to load configuration stuff. If the loading is successful, the
information shown in Figure 2-2 will be displayed. If it is failed(Maybe the Flash on board is
damaged, or it is connected with the power for the first time.),the information shown in Figure 2-3
will be displayed.

Figure 2-3 Failed loading of configuration stuff


When the loading of configuration stuff is failed,the system will use the default setting and save
it to the Flash.
When the loading of configuration stuff is successful, the system will wait for the user to
reconfigure stuff. The waiting time will last about 5 seconds(as shown in Figure 2-4).During the
waiting time, if any key on the board is pressed, the system will prompt the user to input
password(as shown in Figure 2-5).If the password input is correct, the user can access to the
parameter configuration interface(as shown in Figure 2-6). If it is incorrect or the “ESC” key is
pressed when inputting password, the system will keep waiting for the user to input the password
again. The user can only restart by pressing the “Reset” key.
The initial password of the system is 000000.

When the group control system runs normally, the LCD will display the current time,the
schedule policy being used currently, and the black dots on the bottom. If there is no key pressed
after the system runs normally for 30 seconds, LCD will not continue displaying the
above-mentioned information and the backlight of LCD will be turned off. If any key is pressed
after that, the backlight will be turned on again and continue displaying the information
above-mentioned.

Ⅲ Parameter configuration of BLT ARMEG
The parameter configuration function of BLT ARMEG can be implemented by operating the
four keys on the board,they are as follows(from left to right):
“ESC” (ESCAPE)
“∨” (UP)
“∧” (DOWN)
“INT” (CONFIRM)
Generally, the“∨” and “∧”keys are used for shifting menu items and modifying the value of the
parameter; the “INT” key is used for selecting menu items, accessing to the modification mode of
settings and confirming the modified settings; the “ESC” key is used for quitting the menu items
and cancel the modified settings.
After access to the configuration menu,the “∨”and “∧”keys can be used to select different
main menu items, as shown in Figure3-1. If the “INT” key is pressed, the system will implement
the selected sub-item settings; if the “ESC” key is pressed, the system will restart after the user
presses any key (as shown in Figure 2-2).

Any key restart …

Figure 3-2 Pressing the “ESC” key under the main menu will make the system restart.
Due to the space limitation of the LCD, the logograms or abbreviations of English words were
used in the menu, and their meanings are as follows:
1. Basic Config Basic configuration
2. Lift Address Lift address setting
3. Waiting Floor Waiting floor setting
4. Catching Floors Catching distance (number of floors) setting
5. Call Disabled permitted or disabled door opening/closing setting of each lift
6. Power Management Power (Power off or firefighting)management
7. Schedule Policy Schedule policy setting
8. Default Setting Use the default setting of the system
9. Save Settings Save the settings configured
Item 1 to 7under the main menu mentioned above has sub-item parameters, but Item 8 to 9 does
not.
After each modification, Item 9 must be selected to save the modification, through which the
modification can become effective. After modification, press the “RESET” key to restart, or switch
off and then switch on.
Following are the introductions of all items:
3.1 Basic Config
The interface of Basic Configuration is as shown in Figure 3-3. The third line in the interface is
parameter name, and the fourth line is current value of the parameter. The sub-item parameters can
be shifted by pressing the “∨” and “∧” keys. If the “ESC” key is pressed, the system will return to
main menu. If the “ENT” key is pressed, the parameter can be modified (as shown in Figure3-4).

In the state of parameter modification, a blinking cursor can be seen at the side of modified
parameter (Note: This is a symbol to show whether the parameters is in the state of modification.).
Then the increase of parameter value can be realized by pressing the “∨” key, and conversely the
decrease of parameter value can be realized by pressing the “∧” key. If the “INT” key is pressed,
the modification of the parameter will be valid (Note: However, “9. Save Settings” item in the main
menu needs to be selected to save it into Flash permanently, the same hereinafter). If the “ESC” key
is pressed, the modification of parameter which made by the “∨”and “∧” keys will be canceled,
and the original value of the parameter will be kept.
The operation procedure for the modification of sub-item parameters in the Basic Configuration
is the same as that mentioned above.
The brief introduction of signification and range of sub-item parameters’ settings in the Basic
Configuration is as follows.
1.1 Num of Lifts
The total number of group controlled lifts in this group control system.

“Go Base” indicates whether the group control system needs to notice all lifts to return to fire
fighting home landing first after receiving the signal of power failure or fire fighting, and the setting
can be 0 or 1; 0 means returning to fire fighting home landing is not needed, 1 means returning to
fire fighting home landing is needed.
“MaxLifts” indicates the maximum number of lifts can be scheduled at a time in the state of power
failure or fire fighting. It is related to the provision of backup power of lift system. Its valuing range
is from 0 to lift quantity in lift group.
“Order” indicates the sequence that the lifts are scheduled in the state of .power failure or fire
fighting.
Each number after “Order” indicates the schedule sequence number for lift in its corresponding
position.
“Avail” indicates the schedulability of lift in the state of power failure or fire fighting, in other
words,whether a lift can operate normally. Each number after “Avail” indicates whether the lift in
corresponding position can operate. 0 means the lift can not operate and 1 means lift can operate in
the state of power failure or fire fighting.
The operation of Power Management is as follows: The items can be shifted by pressing the“∨”
and“∧” keys, there is an underline cursor to indicate current item. If the “ESC” key is pressed, the

Ⅳ Installation and debugging of BLT ARMEG
4.1 Installation of system

When install BLT ARMEG, it should be connected correctly to positive and negative poles of an
accurate 24V switch power supply.
Factory reset of the system uses CAN1 port for communication. The two-line CAN
communication cable conforms to the standard of our company should be used to connect all lifts
together by consentrator / disconcentrator, and then connected to CAN1 port.

Attention:
The CAN communication cable used in other situation is four-core cable consisting of two
groups of wires, one group is used for providing power supply for the other terminals (e.g. hall call
panel). This kind of cable can not be used for BLT ARMEG directly, if it is used for connecting the
system and microcomputer controller of each lift, all the microcomputer controllers of lifts will
common ground, which will cause the failure of communication or damage of microcomputer
controllers, even safety accidents.
