MCTC-ARD-C Series New Elevator Emergency Automatic Rescue Device User Guide Preface
Preface
Thank you for purchasing the MCTC-ARD-C series elevator emergency automatic rescue
device.
Before using the product, read this guide carefully to have a better understanding of the
product features and to use the product more safely. This guide describes the product
specifications, mounting dimensions, terminals, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
Introduction
The ARD is a backup power unit that continuously monitors the elevator mains supply.
During an event of a power failure or phase loss, the MCTC-ARD-C automatically enters
the emergency rescue state and supplies power to the elevator. The ARD drives the car
for the light-load operation to the nearest floor at the emergency rescue speed, and
then the door opens to ensure any onboard passengers' safety.
Product Features
◆◆ A perfect match with the MONARCH elevator controller and commissioning-free design;
◆◆ Redundancy protection and reliable performance;
◆◆ Smart battery management and longer service life;
◆◆ Fault classification for quick fault location;
◆◆ Modular design for easier maintenance.
Safety Precautions
This device is connected to high voltage and may cause severe elec-
tric shock or even death.
DANGER
◆◆ Always be on high alert when using or being close to the device
that has been connected to the power supply.
The product is an elevator safety device for emergency rescue when

a power failure or phase loss occurs.
WARNING ◆◆ Incorrect installation may result in safety risks. System instal-
lation, commissioning and maintenance personnel must have
prior trainings on safety and product use.

Preface MCTC-ARD-C Series New Elevator Emergency Automatic Rescue Device User Guide
◆◆ It is prohibited to rely solely on startup, stop or input signals of

the device for personal safety during elevator maintenance as
CAUTION these signals cannot isolate dangerous voltage.
◆◆ Before electrical wiring, use a reliable insulation component to

disconnect the power supply of the elevator.
The following table describes the safety signs.
◆◆ High voltage!
◆◆ Before maintenance, cut off all power supplies

and wait 10 minutes.
◆◆ Before using the product, read the user guide

and safety instructions carefully.

NOTE ◆◆ Check the battery if the operating panel shows Err01.
Initial Commissioning
NOTE ◆◆ Do not perform commissioning on the top or bottom floor. Run the
elevator to the middle floor. Bring the elevator up or down. Cut off
the main power when the elevator runs to the non-door zone.

4.3.5 ARD Operation
Some ARD faults may occur during the commissioning process, especially for the initial
power-on. The faults at this stage may be Err01, Err02, Err03 and so on. Please refer to
Fault Code Description for solutions.
◆◆ The recommended rescue speed can be set at 0.1 to 0.2 m/s

Maintenance MCTC-ARD-C Series New Elevator Emergency Automatic Rescue Device User Guide
Chapter 5 Maintenance
CAUTION
◆◆ Before maintenance, disconnect the air switch to ensure that the ARD is
disconnected from the mains power.
◆◆ After power-off, wait 10 min until the capacitor of the drive board is com-
pletely discharged.
◆◆ Use a screwdriver with an insulated handle, and do not lay tools or other
metal objects on the battery.
◆◆ Correct polarity of the battery must be maintained to prevent the battery

from being damaged because of a short-circuit.
◆◆ Replace the battery as the fault code indicates （or once every 2 years）
and charge and discharge it once every three to six months.
