* These sizes are valid only if they are supplied by ARKEL.

2. Connections

Make connections of motor supply, motor PTC, brakes

and their checkback contacts, motor fan, encoder, brake

resistor and battery pack with UPS (If required).

2.5 Motor Fan Connection

2.6 Battery Pack Connection (If necessary)

2.7 UPS Connection

If you do not have UPS, you must bridge connectors U-

LI with U-LO and U-NI with U-NO using with suitable

cables. Otherwise you can’t run the system.

* For BL1-BL2, look at your distribution panel.

3. Menu

When the system is energized, ARCUBE screen on the

motor driver will be displayed. In order to enter the menu

YELLOW button “ENT”, to exit from the menu RED

button “ESC”are used. You can scroll through

parameters with “UP”, “DOWN” buttons. As you are on

the parameter you wanted to enter inside, after pressing

“ENT” button, you can go to the different values and

options in the parameter by using “UP”, “DOWN”

buttons.

Figure 3 Menu

4. Auto Tuning

Before the lift is run, auto tuning process must be

performed. The characteristic of motor is learned during

the auto tuning process. Since the auto tuning is

performed with hand terminal, recall hand terminal key

should be activated. ARCUBE unit should be energized

for performing of auto tuning.

➢Connect the mains supply of unit. (L1, L2, L3, N,

PE)

4.1 Auto Tuning Preparation

While performing autotune, the required bridging will be

different depending on if car top and pit inspection is

connected in the system or not. Therefore, it is so

important to choose the correct parameter from the menu.

“OPERATION MODE”parameter under “QUICK

INSTALLATION”must be definitely set correctly.

4.1.1 Car top and pit inspection not connected

In the first installation, if the auto tuning is performed as

“car top and pit inspection not connected”, from the

parameter;

“OPERATION MODE”“INSTALLATION MODE”

“WITHOUT INSPECT BOX”

must be chosen. In the case of wrong choice, Arcube

would not communicate with Fx-Cube board and raise an

error. The required safety circuit bridging must be as

shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4 Required bridging when the car top and pit

inspection not connected

4.1.2 Car top and pit inspection connected

If the auto tuning is performed as “car top and pit

inspection connected”, from the parameter;

“OPERATION MODE”“INSTALLATION MODE”

“WITH INSPECTION BOX”

must be chosen. The choice of this parameter is

important. If it is set wrongly, 817, 818, 868 and 869

signals will be ignored by ARCUBE. The required safety

circuit bridging must be as shown in Figure 5.

There must not be bridge between 119B-120 and 111-

113. In this step, if it is assumed that the doors are not

mounted, only the doors (120-130-135-140) will be

bridged.

ARCUBE Quick Installation Guide

Version : V1.01

Figure 5 Required bridging when the car top and pit

inspection connected

The bridging should be only done during the first

installation. After the car top and pit inspection

terminals are connected, the bridges must be

removed!

4.2 Auto Tuning Parameter Settings

Take the lift to recall mode by switching the recall key

(SEE) to “1” position in the recall terminal located in the

control panel. In this step, the motor can be moved by up

and down buttons (SEEU, SEED).

Figure 6 Recall terminal

After making the system prepared to auto tuning, the

required parametric settings must be done on LCD

screen.

Turn on all the fuses on ARCUBE, then turn on “SMP”

switch over the distribution panel.

After the screen is displayed, press “ENT”button in

order to enter the menu. When you see “QUICK

INSTALLATION”screen, press “ENT” button one

more time and set the parameters as shown below step by

step according to your system.

4.2.1 Operation mode

This should be chosen correctly depending on if the car

top and pit inspection terminal is connected or not.

4.2.2 Motor type

Motor type must be chosen correctly as asynchronous or

synchronous.

4.2.3 Motor control type

Motor control type must be chosen correctly as open

loop or closed loop.

*Only closed loop option exists for the synchronous

motors.

Version : V1.01

4.2.4 Nominal car speed

This is the speed value what motor label shows.

4.2.5 Motor rpm

Motor revolution per minute (rpm) value must be entered

correctly as shown in the motor label.

4.2.6 Motor frequency

Motor frequency value must be entered correctly as

shown in the motor label.

4.2.7 Motor current

Motor current value must be entered correctly as shown

in the motor label.

4.2.8 Motor voltage

Motor voltage value must be entered correctly as shown

in the motor label.

4.2.9 Motor direction

This parameter can be changed after completing auto

tuning if the direction of move is wrong.

4.2.10 High speed [Vmax]

This is the parameter which sets the max. speed the car

moves. The value of this parameter should be maximum

what the nominal motor speed is.

4.2.11 Shaft position system

Shaft positioning system must be entered here correctly.

4.2.12 Number of floors

The floor number of the system must be entered here

correctly.

ARCUBE Quick Installation Guide

Version : V1.01

4.2.13 Start auto-tune

ARCUBE can perform auto tuning both with ropes and

without ropes. “START AUTO-TUNE”parameter

must be entered correctly.

Save the parameters and exit by pressing “ESC”button.

4.3 Performing Auto Tuning

After completing the above steps, exit by pressing

“ESC”button. After the changes are being saved, it turns

back to main menu and the below screen is come across.

Take the “SEE” key on ARCUBE to “1” position and

keep pressing up or down recall buttons until “MOTOR

TUNE SUCCEED”screen is seen. After you see this

message, save the values by pressing “ENT”button.

Then, try to move the car a little.

If the motor turns in a wrong direction when you press

down or up buttons: find “2.5: MOTOR DIRECTION”

parameter under “2-BASIC SETTINGS”title and

change the parameter. If it is chosen as “clockwise”,

choose “counter-clockwise”. If it is chosen as “counter-

clockwise”, choose “clockwise”.

If the car moves correctly in the recall mode, you can go

on the following steps.

Remove all the bridges between 110-140 terminals

in the safety circuit.

After this step, after car top and pit inspection

terminal mounting are completed, the parameters

must be corrected. The bridges must be removed.

After the magnetic switches and magnets are

mounted, the parameters must be corrected. The

bridges must be removed. Otherwise, the priority of

the person in the pit according to the person on the

car top, and the priority of the person on the car top

according to the person on the control panel will be

disappeared.

5. Preparations for Normal Operation

Make all the other mechanical installations of elevator

system.

Make the inspection box wiring, pit box wiring and safety

circuit wirings.

Up and down deceleration distance magnets should be

put 2 m away from the top and bottom door zone magnet

levels.

Make the installation of round magnets for SKSR1

magnetic switch 2 m away from bottom floor door zone

magnet level. Connect the cables of SKSR1 magnetic

switch to 100 and 817 terminals located on Fx-Cube

board.

Move the car to the bottom floor.

Car must be exactly at the bottom floor level.

Install round magnet with red color side above the

SKSR1 magnetic switch as deceleration distance.

Install the round magnet with black color side a little

above the red color magnet.

The distance between magnetic switch and magnets must

be 1-2 cm.
