2. INTRODUCTION
ARL-500 LIFT CONTROL SYSTEM, that we present you, our valued customers, under the “Advanced Solution” heading, is a
completely plug-and-run elevator electronics and control system.
ARL-500 is universal. With just a few parameter changes; it can be used for rope traction or hydraulic elevators, with two-speed
or VVVF, up to 48 stops, and for groups of up to 8 elevators.
ARL-500 is customizable. Freely programmable inputs and outputs located on the main board, car boards and landing boards
enable you to adjust your settings according to your needs.
With its special plug-in cables and connectors, it facilitates the commissioning process. You’ll get surprised how easily and
quickly you will install the complete system.
The ARL-500 main board has most of the functions needed for any elevator system. Mains supply phase protection, motor
temperature monitoring, door-bridging safety relays for door pre-opening and re-leveling, dual-door support adjustable for each
floor are all on board of ARL-500.
Car and shaft connections are made easily with sockets. Also, inside-car and car-top board connections are made with ready-
made, socketed cables. Spare terminals add to the flexibility of the system.
One of the most powerful features of ARL-500 is its large graphic LCD display and its user-friendly interface that you will get
used to in no time. Instead of using 2- or 4-line text displays that are usually too small and simple, we’ve made use of graphics
LCD technology to maximize ease-of-use and legibility of the menu and status screens.
The HS500 hand terminal which can be connected to the system from any point on the CANbus (in the cabin, on the cabin or on
landings), in a way, enables you to carry the controller board in your pocket.
We are doing our best to improve the quality of our products. You, our worthy customers, are our biggest support in our studies.
Thank you for purchasing ARL-500.

ARL-500: The main controller of the system. Controls the cabinet and operates the accessories on the elevator system. User can
configure the system with graphic LCD and 6-key keypad on main board. On main board, there are constant relays according to
drive type, free programmable inputs and outputs (relays and transistors), door bridging safety relays, phase/motor protection,
safety circuit monitoring inputs. CANbus terminals for shaft and car serial communication, RS-485 terminal for group operation,
inputs for position sensing with encoder, RS-232 socket for PC/Modem connection.
ARL-500 Installation and User Manual V2.52
REVKON: Car top controller board. It makes the connection between car and the control panel. Controls car units. On board,
there are special terminals for pluggable travelling cable connection, outputs with additional terminals for car wiring. A socket
for car operating panel connection, socket for car CANbus communication, inputs for car safety circuits and connectors for
inspection hand terminal, inputs for magnetic switches. Besides, free programmable inputs and relay outputs, car light,
emergency car light, car fan output and battery and gong connection.
KABKON: Car command controller board. Collects commands from car operating panel and sends them to the inspection box
controller (REVKON). On board, there is a socket for car top controller connection, sockets for car CANbus serial
communication. Pluggable connection for car command buttons, door open, door close, fan and alarm buttons, car priority switch,
emergency light, intercom and gong connection and a free programmable input. Second KABKON board is used for systems
more than 24 stops to increase the number of stops up to 48.
KK-x and LCD-x: Indicator/call modules for car and landing panels (Different types of dot-matrix or LCD indicators or non-
indicator). On boards, there are sockets for shaft CANbus serial communication, sockets for up and down call buttons, 1 free
programmable input/output and gong connection. Floor name, direction/collection arrows and out of service signals are indicated
on modules with displays. 2-key keypad is used for floor settings on modules with indicator. Dipswitches are used for floor

6. STARTUP RUNNING
Before operating the control cabinet, the following connections must be made properly according to the wiring diagram:
• Supply
• Drive
• Safety circuits
• Shaft Light
• Travelling cable
With these connections, the car is ready to startup run. The procedure of running are described below:
Turn the recall switch in recall hand terminal to “INSPECTION” (The inspection switch in inspection hand terminal must be
“NORMAL”).
Note
When ARL-500 controller is switched on or rebooted, it checks the bottom limit switch (817) to correct its position counter. If
the inspection or recall control is activated before this correction drive, the system can be operated only in “Inspection mode
only”.
Note
The controller is already set to “Inspection mode only” mode in the default factory settings for safety startup installation. By
this way, controller can only be operated in inspection mode or recall mode and cannot be operated in normal mode.
• On completion of the booting, the startup screen is briefly displayed on LCD and
then switches to the main display. Make sure that there exists a supply voltage on
ARL-500 main controller by observing 5V and 100 and CPU Leds. CPU Led flashes
rapidly while there is an error or flashes slowly while there is no error and the
controller is working correctly.
• “Top and bottom limits (817-818) sensed at the same time” warning message is
displayed on error screen.
• Suppres the warning message by pressing the ESC key and then the “RECALL”
screen is displayed.
• Pressing ENTER on main screen takes you to the password screen. User password
has six digits. The default setting for the password is “000000”. It is highly
recommended to change it to an individual one having entered lift parameters first.
• Blinking cursor at the beginning of a numbers means a change mode. LEFT/RIGHT
buttons are used to move cursor left / right and UP/DOWN buttons are used to
increase / decrease value. ENTER should be pressed to access into main menu. The
correct password enables access to the parameters menu. An invalid value or pushing
EXIT returns to the main screen.
• Ensure that the parameter “System Settings > Operating mode” is set to “Inspection
only” in ARL-500 menu. In “Inspection only” mode controller can only be operated
in inspection mode or recall mode and cannot be operated in normal mode.
Note
This parameter should be set to “Normal operation” during normal operation.
• Check the parameter “System settings > Drive type”. It must be set according to the
lift system. The drive type can be set to “VVVF Type-A” for ADrive motor driver
or “VVVF Type-B” for other motor drivers or “Hydraulic” for hydraulic systems
or “Two speed” for two-speed systems.

input. Firstly press enter to activate that parameter and by using UP/DOWN buttons
find “(503) Recall up” and press enter again to select that input. Press “Esc” twice
and save your settings.
• Car runs only at low speed (or inspection speed for VVVF systems) in recall (and inspection) operation mode. Check
the connection wirings of the lift motor by moving the car with up and down recall buttons in recall mode. If the car
runs up while down inspection button is pressed and vice versa, change any of two ends of U, V, W connections of the
lift motor at the control panel rail terminals.
• Move the car to an intermediate floor. Make sure that there exist supply voltages on REVKON car top controller by
ARL-500 Installation and User Manual V2.52
observing 5V and 100 and the CPU Leds. CPU Led flashes rapidly while the car CANbus communication is working
correctly or flashes slowly while there is no car CANbus communication between the ARL-500 main controller and
REVKON car top controller. Be sure that there is 20-26 VDC between connectors 100 and 1000.
• Press LEFT key on main screen until the “3.1.CANbus status” status screen is
showed on ARL-500 display. There must be ‘+’ mark for “REVKON”. It means the
REVKON can communicate with ARL-500 controller. No ‘+’ mark means there is
no communication.
• Check the connection of car safety circuit connected to REVKON car top controller according to wiring diagrams (see
sheet 5).
• Turn the inspection switch in inspection hand terminal to “INSPECTION”. In that case the car cannot be moved by
recall buttons on the control panel.

Note
The deceleration distance is determined by speed of the car. It can be different in any system and can be accepted 180 cm for
VVVF systems and 60 cm for hydraulic systems.
7.4. INSTALLATION FOR ENCODER COUNTER
ARL-500 controller is available with incremental encoder positioning. Incremental encoder can be mounted on motor, speed
limiter, or in the shaft.
Incremental positioning requires two additional magnetic switches on the car roof. SML1-SML2 monostable magnetic switches
and the bar magnets length 40 cm are used for this positioning system.
7.4.1. DOOR ZONE MAGNETIC SWITCHES (SML1, SML2)
1. Door Zone Magnetic Switch-1 (SML1, Monostable, NO-normally open)
2. Door Zone Magnetic Switch-2 (SML2, Monostable, NO-normally open)
During the learn drive SML1-SML2 magnetic switches are used for learning floor changes so the distances between floors.
During drive these magnetic switches are used to correct car position values of incremental encoder. Also if door bridging is
necessary, they inform control panel that the car is in door opening zone.
7.4.1.1. Installation of magnetic switches
Install the SML1-SML2 magnetic switches on the cage beam in a pre-assembled bracket. SML2 magnetic switch must be on top
of SML1 and two of them must observe the same side of guide rail.
7.4.1.2. Connection of magnetic switches
SML1-SML2 magnetic switches are connected to plugs ML1-MLO-1000 and ML2-MLO-1000 of the REVKON board
respectively.
The length of the zone magnets are approx. 40cm. The numbers of zone magnets are 1-2 cm
determined by number of floor:
Number of bar magnets length 40 cm = Number of floor
20cm
7.4.1.3. Installation of zone magnets
• Move the car to the end of floors 20cm
• Car threshold must be exactly at the floor level
• Install the bar magnet opposite to the zone magnetic switches. The middle of the bar CAR
magnet must be on a level with the middle of the magnetic switches. The distance
between magnetic switches and magnet must be 1-2 cm. FLOOR LEVEL

• Turn the recall switch in recall hand terminal and to “NORMAL” (The inspection switch in inspection hand terminal
must also be “NORMAL”). As mentioned before when ARL-500 controller is switched on or rebooted, it checks the
bottom limit switch (817) to correct its position counter. If the inspection or recall control is activated before this
correction drive, the system can be operated only in “Inspection only mode”. The controller is already set to “Inspection
only” mode in the default factory settings for safety startup installation. By this way, the controller was only be operated
in inspection mode or recall mode during the startup installation.
• Before normal operation this parameter should be set to normal operation mode. Set
the parameter “System settings > Operation mode” to “Normal operation” in
ARL-500 menu. From now on the controller is normal operation mode and can
process car commands and landing calls.
• Enter the number of floors of the lift into the “Number of floors” parameter. ARL-
500 supports up to 48 stops..
• In the “Call response settings” submenu, select the “collection type” of the lift. The
options for this parameter are as follows:
“Two buttons”: On the call panels, up/down buttons will be connected to the up
button terminals and down button terminals.
“Both directions, single button”: On the call panels, a single button will be
connected to one of the button terminals (no matter which one). The calls from those
buttons will be collected in both directions.
“Single direction, single button”: On the call panels, connect the button to the up
terminal for collecting on up direction, and to the down terminal for collecting on
down direction.
10.2. ASSIGNING PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUTS
ARL–500 main controller is available with 8 functionally programmable relay outputs (PR1-PR8) and 6 functionally

12.4. PARAMETER SETTINGS FOR LANDING CALL PANELS
(KK2x3057, KK3x3057, KKLCD-x, KKBT)
Unlike the parallel connected call panels in conventional systems, ARL-500 system uses a serial bus, called CANbus, to connect
all call-panels and indicator boards with a single cable. This setup minimizes the cost of wiring and facilitates installation. But
as all panels are connected to a single port in the system, it is obligatory that we introduce a way to give a unique identifier to
each call-panel. This identification is called “floor setting” and is done by using DIP switches or push buttons at the backsides
of call-panels. The below table, shows which panel type uses which setting method.
Indicator module Type Floor setting by
KK2x3057 2-key & menu
KK3x3057 2-key & menu
KKLCD-x 2-key & menu

12.4.1. LANDING CALL PANEL SETTING BY KEYPAD & MENU
There are two keys labeled “ENT” and “+” at the backside of the call boards.
ENT For entering the menu and selecting parameters
+ For changing the value of the selected parameter
To select the parameter to change, press “ENT” key. In 3 character displays (KK3x) a letter indicating the selected parameter
will flash in the first digit, and the value of the selected parameter will be indicated at the other two digits. In 2 digit displays
(KK2x), the letter of the selected parameter and its value will be show alternating in 1 second intervals.
To change the value of the parameter: press “+” key.
To select the next parameter: press “ENT” key. The meaning of each parameter is summarized in the setting table.
To exit menu press “ENT” repeatedly until the display turns into normal mode. When changing to normal mode, parameters will
be saved into the permanent memory of the landing call panel automatically.
The table below summarizes the effect of each setting:

ARL-500 Installation and User Manual V2.52
Door A, B or AB selection
Switch value
Switch number
Floor number is coded in binary code. The most-right switch has the least value. The value of switch which is ON is added to
floor number. The value of switch which is OFF is 0 (zero). Floor number is selected by the sum of ON switches value + 1.
For this example floor number 28 is coded.
0 + 16 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 28
Note
Make floor settings carefully according to the wiring diagram (see sheet 10)
To go into test mode: when on the main status screen, press UP key. On this screen, select “Test mode” and change the value to
“Buttons” to make the system operate in test mode.
In this mode, all call panels with indicator which are connected to the CANbus will display
their floor number and blink, if not, check your connections again. Also the Leds of call
buttons will flash in 1 second intervals.
When you press a call-button, its Led will flash at a faster rate, indicating that the button and
led connections are correct.
Accuracy test for landing numbers
Landing numbers accuracy can be tested also if you have indicator modules. When on the main status screen, press UP key. On
this screen, select “Test mode” and change value to “Buttons”. On the car panel, the landing number that you have set before
with dipswitches will be shown (between floors 1 to 48). If there is any problem in the indicators, check your connections and
dipswitches settings. The landing numbers set in car panels must all be different from each other. If there are two doors on the
landing floor landing numbers set in the car panels can b same but the door selections must be different in the panels.
• Set the “Flag length” parameter to the length of your stick magnets. By default this
value is set to 40 cm’s. In the shaft-learning run, ARL-500 will determine the relation
between pulse-count and centimeters by using this “flag length” information.
• Now to start the shaft-learning run, select “Learn shaft” button and press Enter.
ARL-500 will start a learning run.
For the shaft-learning run to start, the lift must not be in inspection or recall mode
and safety circuit must be closed.
If you need to interrupt the shaft-learning run for any reason, press the “Emergency
Stop” button or take the lift into inspection mode by turning on the inspection switch.
• In the shaft-learning run, the car will find the bottom level and go upwards in high
speed until the top level of the shaft. So, depending on the length of the shaft, this
may take a while.
When the shaft learning run is completed, a message “Shaft learned” will be
displayed and the screen will return to “Encoder settings” menu in 5 seconds.
To make the learned shaft information permanent, you need to save changes when
exiting the main menu.
• Before going on to floor-level fine tuning, you need to set “Slowing distance in
high speed” and “Stopping distance in low speed” parameters.
The “Slowing distance in high speed” parameter indicates the position where the
slow-down command will be sent to the motor driver.
The “Stopping distance in low speed” parameter indicates the position where the
stop command will be sent to the driver.
These two parameters must be compatible with the settings of your motor driver.
The “Slowing distance in medium speed” parameter is reserved for future use, and
not operational in this version
• When you are finished with the above settings, exit the menu and answer “Yes” to
the “Save changes?” prompt. Otherwise the learned shaft information will be lost.
When you exit the menu, the controller will reset itself and the car will do a reset run
by moving to the bottom floor. And after reaching the bottom floor, “Ready”
message will be displayed at the top of the status screen.
ARL-500 Installation and User Manual V2.52
• Error correction values are in millimeter units. Positive (+) values mean that the car
will stop above and negative (-) values mean that the car will stop below the normal
stopping point.
In other words, if the car stopped below the desired point, you must enter the
difference in millimeters as a positive value. If the car stopped above the desired
point, you must enter the difference in millimeters as a negative value.
• To change a setting in this window, move the rectangle with the direction buttons.
Press enter so the value starts blinking. While the value is blinking, use up/down
direction keys to change the value, and press enter button again to accept the value.
Normally, you should be doing these settings inside the car with the help of the
“HS500 hand terminal” and giving car commands from inside the car. When the “Floor-level Fine Tuning” window is
open, and the car stops in reply to a car command, the rectangle will move to the related setting area automatically. All
you need to do is to observe the error of the last stopping operation when the door opens, and enter the error correction
value to the automatically selected setting area.
As a last note; when exiting the menu, do not forget to “save changes”.
15.1. RECOMMENDED FINE TUNING PROCEDURE
This is the recommended way to fine-tune floor levels. Connect the “HS500 Hand Terminal” to a CANbus port in the car
(KABKON or LCD display) and follow the steps below:
NOTE: If the handheld terminal is available, the stopping precision can be adjusted directly from inside the car. This greatly
facilitates the procedure. Otherwise, the stopping errors for each floor must be noted and adjustments must be made from the
machine room.
Step 1: Get inside the car and attach your “HS500 Hand Terminal” to an empty CANbus terminal. Enter the menu and select
“Encoder settings/Floor level fine-tuning” screen.
►In this screen, car command buttons are operational although you are in the menu.
Step 2: Give a car command to the bottom floor
Step 3:
• Give a car command to Floor-2
• When the car stops at Floor-2, the “Up” setting for Floor-2 will be selected automatically
• Observe the position of the car with respect to floor level.
• If the car stopped lower than the floor level, enter the difference in millimeters into the selected setting area. If the car
stopped higher than the floor level, enter the difference as a negative value into the selected setting area.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3 for all of the floors.
► In this point, all error correction values in the “Up” direction must be entered.
Step 5:
• Give a car command to the floor right below the top floor. (Floor N-1)
• When the car stops at Floor N-1, the “Down” setting for Floor N-1 will be selected automatically.
• Observe the position of the car with respect to floor level
ARL-500 Installation and User Manual V2.52
• If the car stopped lower than the floor level, enter the difference in millimeters into the selected setting area. If the car
stopped higher than the floor level, enter the difference as a negative value into the selected setting area.
Step 6: Repeat Step 5 for all of the floors.
► In this point, all correction values must have been entered.
Step 7: If there are still floors that the car does not stop in the desired position, you can repeat the procedure.
