Emergency or Standby Power Operation
Two emergency power tests are described here. The first is for a car equipped with the TAPS
(Traction Auxiliary Power Supply) from MCE. The second is for a car equipped with backup
generator power.
Note
When performing emergency power related testing, ensure that the mPAC hand-held program-
ming unit, if used, is not connected.
Traction Auxiliary Power Supply Test
The MCE Traction Auxiliary Power Supply, TAPS, monitors the commercial electrical power
provided to an AC traction elevator controller. If commercial power fails, the auxiliary power
supply provides single phase backup power, directs the controller to move the car safely to a
landing, and provides power to open the elevator doors. If the elevator controller chooses a
direction that draws power beyond a customer-preset level, the system will direct the controller
to pause the car, then reverse direction to the nearest landing, again providing power to open
the doors and allow passengers to exit. The TAPS unit will then disconnect power to the elevator
controller after a customer defined time period or when an output from the controller tells it
that the cycle is complete. When commercial power is restored, TAPS will direct commercial
power to the elevator controller and automatically recharge the backup batteries for future use.
Check the MCE drawings to verify that the car is properly connected to a TAPS unit. Addition-
ally verify that the TAPS unit is properly charged and is displaying no fault conditions.
Mainline Disconnect Verification
This verifies that the fourth pole of the main line
disconnect or micro switch is functional when power is intentionally shut off at the main line
disconnect.
1. Verify that TAPS BS1 and BS2 are connected to the fourth pole of the main line discon-
nect.
2. Set the AC/TAPS DISCONNECT switch to the ON position.
3. Shut off power at the main line disconnect.
4. Verify that the car is not energized and remains stopped.
TAPS and Controller Operation Verification
1. Ensure the main line disconnect is in the ON position.
2. Ensure the AC/TAPS DISCONNECT switch is in the ON position.
3. Ensure the TAPS BYPASS switch is in the NORMAL position.
4. Verify the NORMAL POWER indicator is on.
5. With empty car, move the elevator on inspection slightly above the leveling zone of the
floor with the longest floor distance moving in the up direction.
6. Push and hold the test button until TAPS is in backup power mode. Verify the BACKUP
POWER indicator is on.
7. Quickly put the elevator back to normal operation.
8. The elevator should begin to move in the up direction until it reaches the floor above.
Once the elevator reaches the floor, it shall cycle the door.
