15. TEST -

MENU > SETUP (PASSWORD) > TEST

A number of test functions are available to simulate various fault conditions to validate the functionality 

of the alarm and stop relays (Image 37).  The testing function is not designed to test the sensors on the 

equipment, it allows you to ensure that your control wiring, PLC or HazardMon.com connectivity are 

functioning.  None of the tests will function if the Watchdog is in an alarm condition, or if the system has 

not been calibrated.  Testing can be run for the following:  ALARM RELAY, ALIGNMENT, OVER SPEED, 

Underspeed and HOT BEARING SENSOR.

NOTE

Only the ALARM RELAY test can be started while the equipment is running.  All of the other tests 

require the equipment to be stopped prior to testing.

• 15.1 ALARM RELAY

 - Toggles the alarm relay 5 times at a rate of once per second.  The display 

prompts you to “Press OK to Start the Test and Then Start the Elevator”.  If the elevator is already 

running, the test will begin immediately.  If the elevator is stopped, the test will begin the next time 

the elevator is started.  When testing begins, “ALARM TEST”  will appear under SYSTEM STATUS 

on the main LCD screen.  The elevator will remain running after the test is concluded.

• 15.2 ALIGNMENT

 - Simulates an alignment fault condition by introducing a head alignment fault.  

The values used for alarm and stop delays will be the current settings.  The display prompts you 

to “Press OK to Start the Test and Then Start the Elevator”.  The test will begin the next time the 

elevator is started.  When testing begins, “ALIGN. TEST”  will appear under SYSTEM STATUS on 

the main LCD screen.  The elevator will be in the stopped condition after the test is concluded.  If the 

alarm and stop delays are excessive, then it will take a long time to perform the test. 

• 15.3 OVER SPEED

 - Simulates an over speed fault condition by simulating an increase in speed 

by 15%, introducing an over-speed condition.  The values used for alarm and stop delays will be 

the current settings.  The display prompts you to “Press OK to Start the Test and Then Start the 

Elevator”.  The test will begin the next time the elevator is started.  When testing begins, “O/S TEST”  

will appear under SYSTEM STATUS on the main LCD screen.  The elevator will be in the stopped 

condition after the test is concluded.  If the alarm and stop delays are excessive, then it will take a 

long time to perform the test.
