6.1
Operating conditions
"
The elevator machine must be installed in a not free accessible machine room or a closed hoist-
way.
"
Be aware of the protection class speci
fi
ed on the name plate.
"
Do not operate the elevator machine in an explosive atmosphere.
"
For all usage conditions that differ from the order, please contact ZIEHL-ABEGG SE.
6.2
First Start-up
Before
fi
rst-time start-up, check the following:
"
Installation and electrical connection have been properly completed.
"
Safety devices are installed.
"
All leftover installation materials and other foreign materials have been removed.
"
The protective earth is connected.
"
Temperature monitoring is evaluated.
"
Cable entries closed.
"
Mounting, installation position and accessories are o.k.
"
Connection data corresponds to the data on the name plate.
6.3
Tests
Tests on elevator systems can be performed by the assembly company or a certi
fi
cation authority or
organisation. This involves discovering of failure-critical and hazardous conditions. The relevant
operator is responsible for safety. The descriptions below are intended as recommendations for the
technical procedure and do not deal in suf
fi
cient depth with safety engineering aspects of the relevant
system. Therefore, priority is given to the safety engineering speci
fi
cations of the assembly company
or operator. Only trained specialist personnel may carry out tests.
6.3.1
Half load test with current measurement
The test for the 50 % weight compensation should preferably be carried out as follows:
"
The motor current is to be measured in both travel directions with a half load.
"
The measured currents should correspond as closely as possible.
"
The difference between the measured currents should not show a variation of more than 10 %.
Half load test with release of the brake only
"
The short-circuit of the motor windings, if installed, should be disabled for the duration of the half
load test.
"
With a half load and the brake released, the car may not move.
"
After the half load test, the shorting circuit is to be reactivated.
6.3.2
Testing the brake in accordance with EN 81-20:2020
"
To test only the effect of the brake, the short-circuit of the motor windings, if installed, must be
disabled.
"
For the test, the cabin should be positioned in the centre of the shaft.
1. Overload
"
The test shall be carried out whilst the car is descending at rated speed with 125 % of the rated
load and interrupting the supply to the motor and the brake.
"
If the elevator machine is driven upwards with a load of 125%, approx. 2.5 x more losses occur
than with a 100 % load, which accordingly leads to a rapid heating of the motor. As there is no
switch-off in case of overheating during travel, a trip may only be of short duration.
ZAtop SM132/ZAtopx BD132: maximum 10 seconds
ZAtop SM180/ZAdisc SL506/ZAdisc SL510: maximum 15 seconds
ZAtop SM190/SM200/SM210/SM225/SM250: maximum 20 seconds
ZAsyn2 500AL/ZAsyn 700AL/ZAsyn 860AL: maximum 20 seconds
"
Longer travel at 125 % nominal load due to a low inspection speed and/or a high travel distance is
not permitted.
"
To avoid this problem, we recommend transporting the test load upwards in 2 parts and with a
125 % load only downwards.
