DISPLAY
The main micro-processor displays the last fault on
the annunciator display. Pushing a button on the
annunciator display board scrolls the display
through the last eight faults. A Service Tool is
1
required to view all stored faults with time stamp in
memory. If a manual reset type fault has occurred,
that fault is displayed on the screen and the red
LED1 next to the manual reset push button is
illuminated.

After servicing the cause of the manual reset fault, 2


the manual reset fault flag needs to be cleared in
the main CPU’s memory. To reset the manual reset
fault flag in the main CPU’s memory, press the
reset push-button (SW5) on the main escalator CPU
board and then press the button on the annunciator
display. If the annunciator display is blanked, the
annunciator display push-button will have to be
pressed twice after pressing SW5. Only the fault 3
displayed on the annunciator display will be reset.
After the fault is reset, the annunciator will still
display the fault code but the red LED1 will have
gone out. The manual reset type fault can also be
reset via the SERVICE MODE service tool menu.

If the annunciator display’s button is


not pressed for 20 seconds, the 4
annunciator display will go blank. If
the display is blank and the button is
pressed, all four digits of the display
should illuminate with the number 8
for one second. It then displays the
fault that was last displayed before the
display went blank.

Skirt switches
Skirt switches (1) are plunger-type microswitches
designed to open the safety circuit when something
is wedged between the step (2) and skirt (3). Skirt
switches are also designed to actuate if sufficient 3
pressure is applied to the skirt board itself causing
the skirt board to deflect over a given amount.

Two of the six skirt switch actuators (4) are


installed directly behind the skirt boards at the
lower curve, and function only when the skirt board
itself deflects. The remaining four skirt switches
Lower end skirt switch
are located in the upper and lower end, and are set 4
against separate switch actuators (5). The actuator
has a pin that projects through a clearance hole in
the skirt board with the plunger set just below top of

STEP DEMARCATION LIGHTS


Step demarcation lights are green lights required by
ANSI code at both landings of the escalator under
the comb segments. One purpose for these lights
is to break the hypnotizing effect caused by the
step’s continuous movement. The step
demarcation light operates on 24 VAC which is
1 supplied by a Class 2 transformer in the upper
junction box.

The lamps should be replaced on an annual basis,


before lamps burn out, in order to help ensure long
ballast life.
73-H63 (4/95)

ENCODER
The encoder provides a quadrature output which
3 provides the main CPU board with the direction and
speed of the step band. The brake controller also
uses the output of the encoder to determine the rate
at which the escalator is decelerating during the
stop sequence.

The encoder is wired into the upper junction box,


and is mounted onto the drive motor.

HANDRAIL SPEED SENSOR


The handrail speed sensor employs a cluster roller
with 12 steel pins embedded in the roller, and a
proximity sensor. To monitor the speed of the
handrail, the magnetic proximity sensor senses the
presence of the cluster roller’s steel pins as they
pass by the end of the proximity sensor.
1
Both the left and right handrail speed sensors are
wired into the upper junction box. The signals from
the handrail speed sensors and the encoder are
sent to the controller through one cable.

If the handrail speed slows by 5 percent to 15


percent for longer than 10 seconds, a 5 percent 2
error is recorded in the Service Tool error log. The
escalator will continue to run.

If handrail speed varies +/- 15 percent in


comparison to step speed, a two second buzzer
sounds. If this error persists, the escalator will
shut down. The error is then recorded in the
Service Tool Error Log. 3

Handrail speed sensors are located as follows.


Handrail speed sensor - glass escalator
● GLASS BALUSTRADE (1). On escalators
with glass balustrades, the handrail speed
sensor is located on the truss just below
the upper curve.
● SOLID BALUSTRADE (2). On escalators

INSPECT MODE
The Inspect Mode allows the escalator to start and
run as long as the key start switch is held in a start
position. If the key start switch is released, the
escalator stops.The escalator will not achieve a
holding circuit.

Enter the Inspect Mode by either selecting the


slow speed mode (if escalator is equipped with the
pendant control option) or by switching one of the
inspect switches to the INSPECT position.
1
When the pendant control option is installed, the
pendant control disables both the upper and lower
key start switches. The lower Inspect switch, when
in the INSPECT position, disables the upper key
start switch. The upper Inspect switch, when in the
INSPECT position, disables the lower key start
switch. If both the upper and lower Inspect 2
switches are in the INSPECT position then both
key start switches are disabled.

When the Inspect Mode is entered, the CPU


sounds the alarm buzzer for two seconds.

3
Safety concerns
When switching to the inspect mode, if the alarm buzzer DOES NOT sound for
approximately two seconds then it is to be assumed that the Inspect Mode was NOT
entered.

Before starting the escalator, make sure that no one is in the machine or in a
position to be harmed if the escalator starts.
4

Each time the inspect mode is entered, verify the proper operation of Inspect Mode
as follows.

✔ Both upper and lower key start switches are disabled if pendant control
is used.
✔ The lower key start switch is disabled when the upper Inspect switch is 5
in the INSPECT position.
✔ The upper key start switch is disabled when the lower Inspect switch is
in the INSPECT position.
✔ When started, the escalator DOES NOT achieve a holding circuit.
Also, the escalator stops when the key start switch is released.

SOFT START MOTOR CONTROL


The S-controller uses a soft start motor controller
for nearly all applications to reduce mechanical
shock to the escalator while starting. The soft start
motor controllers are located as follows

❏ Starter panel mount


❏ External soft start mount

Starter panel mount


1
Whenever possible the Soft Start motor controller
is located on the starter panel in the controller.
Two types of Soft Starts that are used on the
starter panel are the Allen-Bradley STC and the
Telemecanique Modular Soft Start. Adjust both of
these soft starts in the following manner.

1. Set the Initial Torque potentiometer to the


2 minimum setting and set the Acceleration
Time potentiometer to the maximum setting.
2. Start the escalator in the down direction and
notice how the escalator starts. Stop the
escalator
3. If the escalator remained stalled for a period of
time while the motor was humming, increase
3 the Initial Torque potentiometer by 1/8 of a
turn. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the escalator
begins to move (slowly) almost immediately
when starting.
4. After the Initial Torque potentiometer is
adjusted, adjust the Acceleration Time
potentiometer so that the escalator comes up
4 to speed within three seconds.
➤ When soft start adjustment is
complete the escalator should start
smoothly and come up to speed
within three seconds.

When requirements are such that the soft start will
not fit on the starter panel, a soft start is mounted
external to the controller cabinet. One of the soft
starts that are used for this application is the
Nordic Soft Start Motor Controller. Adjust the
Nordic soft start in the following manner.

1. Remove fasteners (1) from cover (2), and
