Limited Warranty
Motion Control Engineering (manufacturer) warrants its products for a period of 15 months from
the date of shipment from its factory to be free from defects in workmanship and materials. Any
defect appearing more than 15 months from the date of shipment from the factory shall be
deemed to be due to ordinary wear and tear. Manufacturer, however, assumes no risk or liability for
results of the use of the products purchased from it, including, but without limiting the generality
of the forgoing: (1) The use in combination with any electrical or electronic components, circuits,
systems, assemblies or any other material or equipment (2) Unsuitability of this product for use in
any circuit, assembly or environment. Purchasers’ rights under this warranty shall consist solely of
requiring the manufacturer to repair, or in manufacturer's sole discretion, replace free of charge,
F.O.B. factory, any defective items received at said factory within the said 15 months and
determined by manufacturer to be defective. The giving of or failure to give any advice or
recommendation by manufacturer shall not constitute any warranty by or impose any liability upon
the manufacturer. This warranty constitutes the sole and exclusive remedy of the purchaser and
the exclusive liability of the manufacturer, AND IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,

Important Precautions and Useful Information
This preface contains information that will help you understand and safely maintain MCE
equipment. We strongly recommend you review this preface and read this manual before
installing, adjusting, or maintaining Motion Control Engineering equipment. This preface dis-

Safety and Other Symbol Meanings
Danger
This manual symbol is used to alert you to procedures, instructions, or situations which, if
not done properly, might result in personal injury or substantial equipment damage.
Caution
This manual symbol is used to alert you to procedures, instructions, or situations which, if
not done properly, might result in equipment damage.
Note
This manual symbol is used to alert you to instructions or other immediately helpful informa-
tion.
Safety Precautions
Danger
This equipment is designed to comply with ASME A17.1, National Electrical Code, CE, and
CAN/CSA-B44.1/ASME-A17.5 and must be installed by a qualified contractor. It is the
responsibility of the contractor to make sure that the final installation complies with all
local codes and is installed in a safe manner.
This equipment is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 10,000
rms symmetrical amperes, 600 volts maximum. The three-phase AC power supply to the
Drive Isolation Transformer used with this equipment must originate from a fused discon-
nect switch or circuit breaker sized in conformance to all applicable national, state, and local
electrical codes in order to provide the necessary motor branch circuit protection for the
Drive Unit and motor. Incorrect motor branch circuit protection will void the warranty and
may create a hazardous condition.
Proper grounding is vitally important to safe and successful operation. Bring your ground
wire to the system subplate. You must choose the proper conductor size and minimize the
42-02-7223 B8
resistance to ground by using the shortest possible routing. See National Electrical Code
Article 250 or the applicable local electrical code.
Before applying power to the controller, physically check all the power resistors and other
components located in the resistor cabinet and inside the controller. Components loosened
during shipment may cause damage.
For proper operation of the Drive Unit in your controller, you must make sure that: 1) A
direct solid ground is provided in the machine room to properly ground the controller and
motor. Indirect grounds such as the building structure or a water pipe may not provide
proper grounding and could act as an antenna to radiate RFI noise, thus disturbing sensi-
tive equipment in the building. Improper grounding may also render any RFI filter ineffec-
tive. 2) The incoming power to the controller and the outgoing power wires to the motor are
in their respective, separate, grounded conduits.
This equipment may contain voltages as high as 1000 volts. Use extreme caution. Do not
touch any components, resistors, circuit boards, power devices, or electrical connections
without ensuring that high voltage is not present.
Environmental Considerations
• Keep the machine room clean.
•Controllers are generally in NEMA 1 enclosures.
• Do not install the controller in a dusty area.
• Do not install the controller in a carpeted area.
• Keep room temperature between 32 and 104 degrees F (0 to 40 degrees C).
• Prevent condensation on the equipment.
• Do not install the controller in a hazardous location or where excessive amounts of
vapors or chemical fumes may be present.
• Make certain that power line fluctuations are within plus or minus 5% of proper value.
Air Conditioned Equipment Cabinets
If your control or group enclosure is equipped with an air conditioning unit, it is very important
to observe the following precautions. (Failure to do so can result in moisture damage to electri-
cal components.)
• Maintain the integrity of the cabinet by using sealed knockouts and sealing any holes
made during installation.
• Do not run the air conditioning while the cabinet doors are open.
• If you turn the air conditioner off while it is running, wait at least five minutes before
restarting it. Otherwise, the compressor may be damaged.
• Observe the recommended thermostat setting (75 degrees) and follow recommended
maintenance schedules.
• Make certain that the air conditioning drain tube remains clear to avoid water accumula-
tion in the unit.

Group Dispatching
For multiple car installations requiring centralized dispatching and parking control:
• iCentral: Separate enclosure for complex dispatching requirements, destination based dis-
patching, security system interaction, groups to 15 cars (maximum 8 cars with destination
dispatching)
• Local: Groups to 6 cars with one car providing dispatching for the others. A central inter-
connect box is used for hall call risers and inter-car communications.
• iCentral backup: A second iCentral unit may be used or dispatching may be assumed by
one of the cars in the elevator group.
• Local backup: Dispatching assumed by a different car in the elevator group.
