General Information
Set-Up Information 5-5MN770
Inverter Controls AC induction motors may have their speed adjusted by using an AC Inverter (VVVF) to
change the voltage and frequency supplied to the motor. The motor speed will be
relatively proportional to the frequency supplied. An AC Inverter must be able to supply
the amount of current the motor requires both on a continuous and peak basis under all
conditions of load and speed.
Note: Do not assume that having the required horsepower is sufficient information to
size the control. You will need to know the maximum voltage and current. The
motor nameplate should be the source for the RMS (continuous) ratings but
actual measurements should be made to determine the maximum required
current and voltage with the elevator loaded to capacity.
Initial Installation and Startup
When installed in a panel, the Series 15H control should be located away from sources of
heat and in an area where the keypad is visible and convenient to operate. Refer to
Series 15H manual (MN715) for installation information, watts loss requirements, and
other information regarding the selection of a mounting location. Expansion boards
should be installed before applying power.
Preliminary Programming
After the control has been mounted and wired, the final settings can be made.

7. Set the following Level 2, Protection Block, EXTERNAL TRIP parameter to ON.
8. Calculate the size of the dynamic brake (DB) Hardware required. Refer to
MN701 for sizing and selection information. Connect the DB hardware as
described in MN715.
9. Operate the elevator at inspection speed. Check for correct operation of the
elevator.
10. Operate the elevator at contract speed. Adjust the ACCEL, DECEL and
S-CURVE parameter values as required for the best ride.
Note: In many elevator applications, the ST
ANDARD RUN or 15 SPEED MODE is
used depending on the elevator controller as well as an external S-curve
generator.
