Purpose
This document will be used to provide System Integration Teams with component information
about the start-up of the Pulse CSB monitoring system. The System Integration Team will use
this information to provide system specific information for field mechanics.
Overview
The Pulse™ CSB monitoring system is used to continuously monitor the condition of the steel
cords inside the CSB. It will signal an alert or an alarm when the steel cords are damaged or
worn, or when health of the monitor system is compromised. The Pulse™ controller could be
connected to REM, which can provide the alert, alarm, and system health to local personnel.
Safety
All jobsite work activity must be in full compliance with Otis World Wide Jobsite Safety
Standards (WWJSSS). When carrying out this procedure particular consideration should be
given to control of the elevator, LOTO, hoisting and rigging, ensuring public safety (signs and
barriers), working in close proximity of unguarded rotating equipment (sheaves) and the
wearing of appropriate personal protective equipment. It is required that field personnel
conduct an appropriate JHA for the task at hand to familiarize themselves with the work task
and environment.
If the belt length entered is unacceptable, a message will appear: "Illegal SR press Clr to try
again".
Verify that the Pulse CSB Monitor is monitoring the CSBs, i.e., each CSB LED should be ON
steady.
Note: the notation "CCCC" will be replaced by safety code "EN" or "ANSI" or "JIS"

4. View Status
Using Service Tool (F-2-1)
The view status menu is used to view operating characteristics of the Pulse system.
Note: the notation "nn" will be replaced by the belt status code "0" through "15" or by the
notation " * * " . Coated steel belts 1 through 5 are shown from left to right.
3. Press GO ON
Service tool display:
“Mode=mmmmmmmmm<> A=aa aa aa aa aa"
Note: the notation "aa" will be replaced by the alarm reason code "00" or "02" or "04" or "16"
or "32"
00 = no alarm
02 = alarm caused by broken cords
04 = alarm caused by bad cords
16 = alarm caused by shorted cords
32 = alarm caused by promotion from alert to alarm, i.e., more than one belt in alert
4. Press GO ON
Service tool display:
“Mode=mmmmmmmmm<> a=al al al al al"
Note: the notation "al" will be replaced by the alert reason code "00" or "01" or "02" or "03"
00 = no alert
01 = alert due to belt wear
02 = alert due to belt shorts
03 = alert due to both belt wear and belt shorts
5. Press GO ON
Service tool display:
"Mode=mmmmmmmmm<> BoardFault = nn"

Note: the notation "nn" will be replaced by the board fault code "0" through "31". Watch the
service tool screen for several seconds. If more than one board fault condition exists, each
code will be briefly shown one after the other.
6. Press GO ON
Service tool display:
"Mode=mmmmmmmmm<> SftyCode = CCCC"
Note: the notation "CCCC" will be replaced by safety code "EN" or "ANSI" or "JIS"

7. Press GO ON
Service tool display:
"Mode=mmmmmmmmm<> Temp = TT.TTT C"
Note: the notation "TT.TTT C" will be replaced by the temperature sensor reading in degrees
Celsius.
6 Alarm: Conditions have been detected that require CSB replacement. Press GO ON
once to view the conditions. Service tool display:
“Mode=mmmmmmmmm<> A=aa aa aa aa aa"
The notation "mmmmmmmmm" will be replaced by the current Pulse mode, i.e.,
either "Standby" or "Monitor" or "Learn" or "Calibrate".
The notation "aa" will be replaced by the alarm reason code "00" or "02" or "04" or
"16" or "32"
00 = no alarm
02 = alarm caused by broken cords
04 = alarm caused by bad cords
16 = alarm caused by shorted cords
32 = alarm caused by promotion from alert to alarm, i.e., more than one belt in
alert
7 RSL Communication Failure: The PULSE unit is not receiving RSL communication
from the controller. For units with RSL, examine the RSL connection and setup in
the controller.
8 unused/spare
9 Data Archive Failure: Declare this fault whenever, during the Initialization Task, the
E2P copy of the starting resistance archive is structurally invalid or contains
unusable Starting Resistances. It shall also be declared if, during “Monitor Mode” the
E2P copy of the Starting Resistances is invalid. Clear this fault if these values have
been validated during “Monitor Mode” or on CPU reset.
10 Board Fault: Declare this fault for all belts whenever a board fault reportable to the
host controller is declared (refer to Board Level Fault Logging section below)
including the case when unsuccessful in repairing a Flash archive on power up.
Clear this fault for all belts when no reportable board faults exist. Signal an Alarm to
the host controller if this fault is ever logged. Note that this is different from logging
the per belt fault called “Alarm”.
11.12 unused/spare
13 RBI System Overtemperature: The hoistway temperature measured by the RBI is
greater than or equal to 58°C. This status will automatically clear when the
measured temperature cools to less than 55°C. This code is not applicable for ANSI
applications.
14 unused/spare
15 CSB System is in Standby: This status shall be selected for all belts whenever no
belts are being monitored. Otherwise it shall be cleared for all belts.

Note 1: the notation "n" will be the belt number "1" or "2" or "3" or "4" or "5"
Note 2: the notation "###.###" will be replaced by the percentage ratio of the latest filtered

The automatic learn operation using the service tool cannot be used for an elevator that has
run more than one hundred thousand (100,000) times or for an elevator that has been in
service more than one year. Instead, follow the procedure for the manual learn operation
using the service tool. The automatic learn operation is used for an elevator when the entire
set of coated steel belts is replaced with a set of new coated steel belts.
Verify that the Pulse CSB Monitor is monitoring the CSBs, i.e., each CSB LED should be ON
steady.
CSB LEDs
Each CSB LED displays a number of status conditions. However, to simplify the display, the
specific cause of any alarm or alert condition must be determined using the service tool.
There are several possible causes, each with a specific fault code, for an alert or an alarm.
LEARN switch
Press LEARN switch three times within five seconds to reset alarm and alert conditions.
Note: the RESET switch is not used to reset faults; it is used to configure and install software
on the printed circuit board.
If condition(s) that caused the fault persist, the fault will reappear after the next measurement
cycle (60 seconds).
