Class AAA is typically used with exclusive elevators with roller guide shoes. Class AAA is very
demanding and is usually achieved by some special components and deliveries only. SO-01.01.023
clarifies what belongs to AAA and to AA according to different components.
Class AA is typically used with exclusive elevators with sliding guide shoes or commercial elevators.
Class A is typically for commercial or volume type elevators.
Class S is typically for other type of elevators when the ride comfort is not a big issue (For example,
hydros, one-speed and two-speed elevators, some high volume elevators and similar). In other cases
some further adjustments are recommended.
Class U is for elevators where ride comfort is not an issue.
Escalator classes will be defined more specifically later. For now, A class can be used.
The class is to be selected according to the product. Each escalator type belongs to a certain ride
comfort class according the vertical rise.
Escalator ride comfort classes are divided into two parts:
Class AA is used for escalators with a vertical rise smaller or equal than 8 meters.
Class A is used for escalators with a vertical rise of more than 8 meters.

6 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Before you start the measurement, make sure you know the nominal velocity of the elevator and the
ride comfort (RC) class of the elevator. Also the KONE equipment number (KEN) needs to be known,
if it is not visible in the elevator. The velocity and class together determine the limits for the pass/fail
analysis. Also make sure that there is enough battery power. If message “Battery lack, please
replace” has appeared, change a new 9V battery before measuring. The timing of the measurement
should be so that extra background noise (For example, construction noise) is minimized during the
measurement. The microphone of the DT-5 is verified to be applicable in sound levels above 45 dBA,
and this is well sufficient for in-car measurement. Each elevator is measured in two directions, up run
(from the lowest to the highest floor) and down run (from the highest to the lowest floor).
1. Place the device in the centre of the elevator car. Ensure that the device is pointed towards the
doors, in other words the KONE sign is at the same side as the door. Align the device with the
car, it needs to be straight.
Figure 3: Placing the DT-5 and measurer position during measurement (after step 13)
2. Turn the power switch on and press the power button to turn the device on. You will see a
welcome message on the screen. The version number of the tool’s software is visible here
(V1.X).
3. The main menu will appear. Select Dt5 by pressing the OK button. You can move in the menu by
pressing the up and down buttons.
4. Select Elevator by pressing OK (this step is only popping up in V1.4 or later).
5. From the measurement menu, select Configure and press the OK button.
6. Select Set operation and press OK.
7. Set a record time. The up arrow will add ten seconds for the amount on the screen and the down
arrow will add one second. When you have selected the wanted record time, press the OK
button. The use of 99 seconds is recommended, the measurement can always be stopped
earlier.
8. Set the class of the lift. Figure 1 shows the classes for different products. Use the arrow buttons
to select the right class. Press the OK button. The available classes are M (contract specific), S,
A, AA and AAA. If M class is selected, then the limits need to be defined by the user. This is
done by pressing the arrows to set the limits and then by pressing OK to confirm the set limits. In
each parameter, the integer value is set first and then by pressing OK the decimal value is set.
9. After setting the class, the next menu will ask for the nominal speed of the elevator. Select the
best alternative from the menu using the arrows and press OK. Here the up arrow will decrease
the velocity and the down arrow will increase the velocity. The available speeds for the elevator
are listed below. If the nominal speed is between two speed options, choose the higher option.

10. Set test type comfort. Test types Machine, door or noise are not used for in-car measurement.
Calibration is only for calibrating the DT-5 and is not used for testing. Press OK.
11. Now the measurement menu is seen again. Select Test, Press OK to start the test.
12. Input an ID number. Change numbers by pressing the arrow buttons up or down. Press OK to
move to next number. When you have the wanted ID number (best option is to use KEN,
otherwise reporting might fail), press ESC. You will see the confirmation request. Press OK to
proceed.
13. There is “Waiting for trigger, OK?” message on the screen. Make sure everything is ready for
the measurement. Press OK before the elevator is moving. For an offset of 0.5 seconds, during
the Avoid vibration sign the device needs to be completely still and during this there should be
no movement (doors, car and so on). This is very important; otherwise the measurement results
will be strange! After the Avoid vibration sign is away, press the elevator call button to start the
ride.
14. You will see the measurements in the screen. The screen shows the values for X-, Y- and Z-
vibration and sound. The screen light is turned off for the duration of the measurement.
15. When you have reached your desired floor and the doors have fully opened, press OK to stop
the measurement manually.
16. The device will ask you if the measurement is saved. If you press No, then you won’t have any
data and you will return to the measurement menu. Press Yes in the Save menu and you will
see a message “Calculating!”
17. After the calculation process, there will be a “Fail”, “Pass” or “Error, retry!” message with details.
Error means that calculations could not be made. You will be able to view the data on your
computer. In case there is the error message, press OK to return to the measurement menu. If
the measurement is a success, then you will get “Pass” or “Fail”. After this screen press OK to
see the details.
18. The results for all the vibrations and the sound are shown. A total of 4 results appear. After each
result there is either “P” for pass or “F” for fail. After you are done with the results, press OK to
go back to the measurement menu. After this repeat the process and do the other direction.
Please note that when later on you are checking the results on your computer, the results can
change a little bit because of different calculation capacity and algorithm between the DT-5 and
the computer software.
1. Switch the DT-5 tool on and do the basic set-up before the measurement.
2. Take out the pins of the tool at the backside, because during the measurement the device
could drop down into the step treads.
3000385.wmf
NOTE: All steps have to be installed so that the step band is complete. For safety reasons, do
not measure with a hole in the step band. End user safety regulations apply also to the
measurement process.
3. Barricade the escalator lower and upper level entries before the measurement. Ensure that
nobody is in the escalator or working from outside.
4. Press the power button to turn the device on. You see a welcome message on the screen.
5. The main menu will appear. Select Dt-5 by pressing the OK button. You can move in the menu
by pressing the up and down buttons.
6. Select Escalator by pressing OK.
7. From the measurement menu, select Configure and press the OK button.
8. Select Set operation and press OK.
9. Set a record time. The up arrow will add ten seconds for the amount on the screen and the
down arrow will add one second. When you have selected the wanted record time, press the
OK button. The use of 99 seconds is recommended, the measurement can always be stopped
earlier.
10. Set the class of the escalator according to the product. The class is recommended to be kept
as A. Use the arrow buttons to select the right class. Press the OK button. The available
classes are A or AA.
11. Now you are back in the escalator measurement main screen. Select Test, Press OK to start
the test.
12. Input an ID number. Change numbers by pressing the arrow buttons up or down. Press OK to
move to the next number on the left side. When you have the wanted ID number (KEN is to be
used), press ESC. You will see the confirmation request. Press OK to proceed.
13. There is “Start calibration?” message on the screen. Make sure everything is ready for the
measurement and that the device is on a still level (For example, on the floor). The tool must
be on a same angle as during the measurement. In the factory, the device can be on the step,
if the escalator is stopped. In the frontline and if the escalator is moving, at this stage it is not
yet put to the moving escalator. Press OK before taking the DT-5 to the moving escalator. For
an offset of 0.5 seconds, you will see an “Avoid vibration” sign on the screen and the device
needs to be completely still. So during this stage there should be no movement at all. This is
very important, otherwise the measurement results might be strange! After the tool has done
the calibration on the still level, the offset has been done properly and the zero point has been
correctly set.
14. After the offset, there will be a “Waiting for trigger, OK?” message. If the tool is on the floor,
now gently move the DT-5 tool from the floor to the moving escalator to its correct position. If
the tool is at the step in a stopped escalator, the escalator can now be started.
15. Once you are on the escalator and the incline starts (check step 16 and Figure 7), press OK
and you will see the measurements in the screen. The screen shows the values for X-, Y- and
Z- vibration and sound. The screen light is turned off for the duration of the measurement.
16. The correct area to be measured is the inclined area of the escalator.

17. When you have reached the end of the inclined area, press OK to stop the measurement
manually.
18. The device will ask you if the measurement is saved. If you press No, then you won’t have any
data and you will return to the measurement menu. Press Yes in the Save menu and you will
see a message “Calculating!”
19. After the calculation process, there will be a “Measurement saved!” message. Error means
that calculations could not be made. You will be able to view the data on your computer. After
the message press OK to return to the measurement menu. You have now completed the
measurement.
1. Make sure that the DT-5 is turned off. Plug the cable to the USB-input.

8 DATA DOWNLOAD
For accurate results and full analysis, transfer the files to the computer.
Make sure that the tool is connected to the computer and ready for the download:
1. Connect DT-5 with USB to your PC.
8.2 Downloading
After the connection is established, open the DT-5 program on your computer for data
downloading.
1. Click Download.
4. Go to File -> Open and select the file from the directory. If the record file is not a whole course of
the elevator ride or if there are other problems with the analysis, there is a message “The process
isn’t analyzed, please test again”. But the file can still be opened.
After you have opened the file, you will see your data on the screen. You will see four curves plotted
on the display.
Red graph on the top can be the sound, velocity, curve or jerk level. You can change it from the
bottom of the window.
White graph is vibration on X axis.
Green graph is vibration on Y axis.
Yellow graph is vibration on Z axis.
In the Test information at the bottom of the page field, you can see the information of the data you
uploaded from DT-5. This includes Date, Lift type, Lift ID, Type, Speed, and Site. You can only edit
the Site (site information) field and it is used in the reports and documents compiled by the program. If
the site name is entered, then go to File -> Save address, select the current file and press Save to
overwrite it.
You can select what is displayed as the red uppermost curve from the Curve display radio buttons at
the bottom of the window. Select Velocity to see velocity curve, Jerk to see jerking movement curve,
Distance to see a curve of distance traveled or Sound to see a curve of sound levels.
You can adjust the scale of the curves. Here you can click on up and down arrows to adjust the scale
of Acceleration and Time-axis.
Buttons on the right side of the window allow you to do the following operations.
Open button allows you to open a file uploaded from the DT-5.
Filter button allows you to adjust the filters used for X, Y and Z.
FFT button allows you to create a Fast Frequency Transfer.
Display button allows you to see the parameters of the data at the bottom of the screen.
Download button can be used to download data.
10 FILTER SETTINGS
Filtering is a mathematical process of removing components of the total vibration signature outside of
a certain band of frequencies. DT-5 software allows the acceleration data to be filtered using different
pass bands.
1. To set pass band filters, choose Set -> Filter from the top menu bar or press the Filter button. To
use ISO filtering, just choose Set -> ISO.
2. In Filter, there are four choices for a pass band: 10 Hz, 12 Hz, 100 Hz, and no filter. Select the
pass band filters for different channels and click OK. The default filters are 12 Hz for X and Y and
then 100 Hz for Z. These are the filters for the official results.
11 SCALE ADJUSTMENT
For detailed observation, horizontal and vertical scales can be changed. There are two methods to
adjust the scale.
Method 1:
Method 2:
1. Time-axis default scale is to show all of the data in current screen. For example, the time-axis
default scale is 7:1, maximum scale is 20:1. You can adjust scale by clicking ↑or ↓icon beside
the scale. When ↑ or ↓icon turns from green to gray, it means that you have reached its climax.
2. The method to adjust acceleration scale is the same as above. The four vertical scales will be
adjusted at the same time. The default setting is 1:1, the maximum scale is 20:1.
12 CLOCK SETTING
The clock inside the DT-5 data-collection part works continually even if the DT-5 is powered off.
1. Plug the DT-5 device to the computer. Then start the tool and select Pc_connect. The
red USB light should be on. Then open the computer program.
2. Select Set -> Set dt5 clock on the top menu bar.
13 USE OF FFT
The Fast Fourier (Spectrum) Transform is a tool which provides frequency information about the
vibration.
1. First take the filters off from the channel to be analyzed. Go to Set -> Filter and choose No filter
from the channel to be analyzed.
2. Move the mouse cursor to the point where you want to start the FFT, left click mouse to open the
cursor bar. Press the arrow keys on the PC keyboard to move the cursor to the exact start
location. Select a start location after the initial acceleration of the lift. Click FFT button on the right
side of the window.
3. Select channel for the FFT (X, Y, or Z), FFT Length (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 seconds), and FFT units
(Accel. or Decibels). Usually you select the Z channel, an FFT length that stops before the
deceleration at the end of the curve, and decibels.
5. You can zoom into the FFT results to see more information about the curve. Hold down left mouse
button and select the area to be zoomed. In the zoomed view, you can see the values at different
locations by moving the cursor. Click Return to exit the zoom view. Click Close to close the FFT
view.
14 PRINTING
1. Move mouse cursor to the File > Print Set menu at the top menu bar.
2. Set the type of the printer and paper (paper must be A4), then click OK.
3. After setting printer, click Print. You can click Accel, Curve, Report1 or Report2. Accel report
includes parameters and curves of 3 axes of vibration and sound level. Curve report includes jerk,
distance, velocity and acceleration of Z axis. Report1 and Report2 are ride quality (RQ) forms and
DT-5 fills the information automatically.
To make the Report1, which has the basic RQ values filled, first go to File -> Print -> Report1 ->
Information input and fill the required information. The building information is taken from the Site
selection as explained earlier. Then go to File -> Print -> Report1 -> Print to get the report. Report2
needs no input, just go to File -> Print -> Report2 to get it.
To export the reports 1 and 2 to word, simply go to File -> To word and select your option. Also the
Accel. report can be exported, but now with the name Curve.
To analyze measurements with errors, you can use the manual markers. Here you place the markers
yourself and the program gives you the values. To place manual markers, go to Set -> Manual, and
then place the first markers by the help of the right button of your mouse. After clicking the right
button of the mouse, select the correct point. S1 (Start1) is the start of acceleration, E1 (End1) is the
end of acceleration, S2 (Start2) is the start of deceleration and E2 (End2) is the end of deceleration.
The sequence is always the same, no matter if it is a down run or an up run. So the correct sequence
is S1 -> E1 -> S2 -> E2. After this, by pressing the Display button, you will have the results for
vibration and sound.
The Installation Quality Efficiency (IQE) formula is built in SAP. With the help of the DT-5 computer
program (v1.07 or later), the user is able to send the measurements to SAP. Only one measurement
at a time can be sent to SAP.
1. Open the measurement file by selecting File -> Open and then select the file to open from the
folder structure as was instructed also in Chapter 8, Data download and shown in Figure 16
previously.
2. Press the Display button to bring the results to the bottom section as instructed in Chapter 9,
Computer program interface and shown in Figure 19.
3. Go to File –> To SAP -> Options to select the right system. The selected system will be
saved, so this step is only necessary during the first time.
4. To send the measurement to SAP with the right system selected, go to File -> To SAP ->
Send. Then the following pop-up should appear and there should be a confirmation that it has
been successfully send to SAP. If not, then try to send again or check that the internet
connection is working
To check the measurement information and to print the SAP IQE report, the following steps need to
be made. For the SAP IQE Frontline Tool, the SAP IQE report is one of two reports needed.
1. Logon to the SAP and run transaction ZVIQE. The following screen should appear.
2. Select the wanted time period with the Measurement date selection and your own Sales
organization. The results for the whole previous month are needed, and then the start date
needs to go as far as the oldest TRB before measurement goes. Also take away the tab from
the Latest records to make sure that the before measurements are also included. Also the
tab in Include items with WBS TECW needs to be on in order to have the maintenance base
data as well. Then execute and the report will appear.
3. Some data can be filled manually by highlighting the row and pressing Edit item. The
supervisor, fitter, district and branch columns can be modified. After making any modifications,
always press Save in order to save the details of that specific item.
4. To export the report to excel, go to List -> Export -> Spreadsheet.
5. Press Continue in the pop-up information box from the bottom-left corner (green tick).
6. Select Table from the next pop-up and press Continue (green tick).
7. Then the Microsoft Excel should be selected automatically and should be the only choice.
Just click Continue (green tick).
8. The report in excel should be compiled. Save the report to your computer. This is the monthly
SAP IQE report. After saving, press Continue in the last pop-up in SAP to finish the exporting.
Printing the handover report from SAP is the second step of the reporting process. The handover
report is needed to determine the implementation rate, in other words how many equipment have
been measured and how many have been handovered. The handover list is compiled for the month to
be reported and it is compiled as follows from SAP:
1. Logon to SAP and run transaction ZV_QUERY_DL (query deluxe).
2. Click on the Get Variant button in the top left corner.
4. Fill the obligatory fields, which are Plant, Company Code, Material, Sales Organization,
Created on, Usage and Milestone date. Plant, Company Code and Material can be filled as “*”.
Also the Company Code of the company being reported can be used. Sales Organization is
the reported organization. Created on should be from 1.1.1900 to 1.1.9999 automatically, and
it can be left like that. Usage is the Milestone to be used, for example 5 or 4C. Milestone date
is the time period where the reported handovers are made. After all the selections have been
made, execute the variant and after a waiting time, the handover report with the selected
usage should be exported in SAP.
5. Press the Export button and select Spreadsheet to start exporting it to excel format.
9. Save the exported excel to your computer. Then press continue (green tick) in the SAP pop-
up.
10. The exported handover excel contains all equipment. Not all of them are needed for the IQE
reporting (for example, kitchen elevators). The frontline reporting tool will automatically neglect
these items, but you can also manually clean the excel so that only the wanted data is there.
When the file is finished, save the finalized version to your computer.
Once the SAP IQE report and SAP handover report have been finalized and exported to excel, then
they need to be taken to the SAP IQE Frontline Report excel tool.
1. Open the SAP IQE Frontline Report. Latest report can be found from the IQE – DT-5 Intranet
page.
2. Select the month to be reported from the sheet names.
Figure 51: Each month can be found from their own sheet
3. Select the correct frontline to be reported from the drop-down box in cell B5.
4. To start compiling the report, press the Compile country IQE report button on the top-right
corner.
5. The excel will ask you to name the SAP IQE report for the reported month. Press OK to
proceed to the selection.
6. Search and name the SAP IQE report which you have saved by using your own folder
structure. Press Open to proceed.
7. The message box will then ask to name the handover report the same way. Press OK to
proceed.
Figure 56: Message box asking to name the SAP handover report
8. Name the handover excel the same way as with the SAP IQE report.
10. The last step is then to report the file forward. Download the file to the GI SharePoint to the
frontline’s own folder.
DT-5 App is a mobile application for sending the DT-5 measurements to SAP from the site. By using
it, the measurement is done as before with the DT-5 Tool, but the measurement will be transferred to
a tablet instead of a computer.

– Other EAP countries to use EAP instructions
The tool needs to be calibrated every two years.
The process is simple:
– Make an order for KM972070R through Minerva or SAP
– Wait for GSS to send you new tools first, so the frontlines can keep measuring with the current
tools.
– When you receive calibrated items from GSS, use the same packaging material to send your
tools back to GSS and to calibration
Use RMA tool in Minerva to fill and print the delivery note to the return delivery.
If RMA is not in use, then fill the delivery note at the end of the calibration instructions
and print it to the return delivery.

computer and empty the memory from time to time. Remember to empty the memory only after you
have uploaded all data into a PC!
2. Select Configure and press OK. Use the down arrow to select Check memory. Then press OK
and you will see the current memory situation.
3. If you want to clear the memory, select Y in the section where it asks you if you want to clear all
and then press OK.
4. After the stars have gone all the way to the end and the menu is seen again, then the memory has
been cleared.
21 BATTERY CONSUMPTION
Please take the battery out of the device, if it is not used for a long time. Or turn the battery upside
down inside the battery box. This is because there is a leakage current of 0.15 – 0.18 mA in the
device. This way the work time of the device should exceed 2 hours per battery. In the latest
hardware versions of the tool, there is an on/off-switch at the top. If that off-switch is used,
then no need to take out the battery because the leakage current is not an issue anymore.

This is an example of a guide rail joint problem. You can plot the X and Y peaks against distance in
the DT-5 program. Now it can be seen that these peaks appear every 5 meters, and this is an
example of a guide rail joint problem (because they appear every 5 meters, can be 2.5 meters as well
of course).
You can also have individual peaks. Then you check the distance and correct that one joint. It is
important to remember that the distance is calculated from the tool on the floor of the car. Sometimes
the distance of the peak can be a bit different if example, the top guide rollers or guide shoes hit the
peak in the joint. So this needs to be considered as well.
Also sometimes the peaks in the horizontal directions can be caused by brackets as well. For
example if the normal distance of brackets is usually 1.25 meters, there might be cases where the
distance is 2.5 meters and this causes extra bending in the guide rails and thus is causing vibration
peaks.
To actually correct the joints, you can do the following things. In Y direction (rail-to-rail), you need to
check the straightness of the tip of the guide rail with a straight edge. If you find caps, you need to
install shim-plates. In X direction (back-to-front), you need to use the Rail Alignment Tool
(585343G01) as shown in Figure 88. Small deviations can be filed (do not use grinder!) and the
possible safety gear marks must be filed well.
An example of Z vibration problem can be seen in Figure 89. To find out the problems from the DT-5
measurements, take the filter off from the Z channel and choose the starting point for the FFT
analysis. Then go to FFT and select the correct length and decibels as units. To actually connect the
frequency to a problem, the nominal frequencies for components must be known or calculated.
Figure 89: FFT shows a clear peak for the tacho (Tacho frequency is 41,3 Hz for MonoSpace Special MX10 1,6 m/s)
FFT analysis (Figure 89, zoomed in Figure 90) from the same measurement also shows that the high
Z vibration is caused by the tacho. The peak is over 100 dB and it is at 41.3 Hz. This is the same
frequency as the tacho frequency when the elevator is a MonoSpace Special with a MX10 motor
running 1.6 m/s. In this case the tacho pulley has a 37.5 mm diameter. So you can try to fix it by trying
out another pulley or changing the whole tachometer. If you happen to have another case where the
elevator’s tachometer is the 75 mm pulley, you can change the diameter to 37.5 mm or to the
intermediate size, 55 mm (KM871699G01). The 37.5 mm is in this case placed to the other side of the
motor. The 55 mm goes to the same slot as the 75 mm one, but the adapter needs to be used.
Adapter is included in the KM871699G01 package.
