Summary:

Procedure to test for rope wear.

ELECTRICAL DANGER

Only qualified electrical personnel should take measurements at the remote test points. For any of the test points on the faceplate, use a hand-held voltmeter, oscilloscope, clamp-on ammeter, or other appropriate testing device. Always follow proper electrical safety procedures.

Rope Wear Indicator Test Point

The rope wear indicator test points are connected to the rope status circuitry.

To test for rope wear

  1. Set an oscilloscope or digital voltmeter to read DC voltage.

  2. Place the positive and negative probes on the Rope Wear Indicator “+” and “-“ test points, respectively.

    • A reading between 4.8 V and 5.1V DC indicates that the ropes are in good condition and not in need of replacement.

    • A reading of 0 V DC or fluctuating DC voltages below 4.8 V DC indicate that the ropes should be inspected and the worn rope should be replaced.

After replacing ropes

  1. Press RESET ROPE to clear the alert on the system.

  2. Enter the date on which the ropes were replaced by pressing CHANGE DATE.
