TESTING OF “ROPE GRIPPER™” 

 

 

 

Make sure controller safety circuit is active and clear for running. Turn OMS lever to 

Auto 

Reset

 (see Figure 6). The “ROPE GRIPPER™” should be in or go to the ready, open 

(LOADED) position (NOT clamping the ropes).  

 

Turn OMS lever to 

Reset Release

. This should trip the “ROPE GRIPPER™”, clamping the 

ropes. Be sure that while clamping the ropes, the Ready Switch (see Figure 6) contacts on the 
“ROPE GRIPPER™” stop or prevent power from being applied to the motor and machine 
brake. 

 

Turn OMS lever to 

Auto Reset

. “ROPE GRIPPER™ should reload (re-open).

“ROPE GRIPPER™” LINING WEAR-IN 

 

A line has been marked on the side wall of the gripper

 to aid in the Wear-In process.  

Note 

that at this point in the procedure, this line is well above the Connecting Arm and will be met or 
covered by the Connecting Arm during the Wear-In process (see

 Figure

 

for locations of 

Connecting Arm and Wear-In Line).

 

 

Make sure OMS lever is on 

Auto Reset

 

Run the car at the slow or inspect speed. Keeping hands clear of all equipment use caution to 
wipe down the ropes to remove any dirt and/or excess oil and grease from top to bottom. 

 

Jump terminals RG5 to RG7, preferably at the controller, and run the empty car in slow 
speed in the direction that the machine will pull the ropes thru the “ROPE GRIPPER™

 

(typically DOWN).  When the car is up to speed, turn the lever to 

Reset Release

.  The 

“ROPE GRIPPER™” will clamp the ropes with a light pressure and ropes will begin to wear 
grooves in the linings.
