SECTION TWO
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model D1028 Bi-Directional Field Regulator was designed to control the Generator Field of a
motor generator-driven geared or gearless Hoist Motor. Tachometer feedback is used to provide a
closed loop speed regulated system. Armature feedback is used to provide fast response and added
stability. The computer input allows a computer generated reference pattern to control the output.
These all combine to provide a high gain fast response system to precisely control armature voltage.
The net result is precise control of the generator field current that will provide speed regulation to
within point five percent (0.5%) of contract speed.

SECTION THREE
THE FRONT PANEL
3.1 DIAGNOSTIC INDICATORS
The Model D1028 features a variety of color-coded indication lights to allow a quick assessment of
control performance and status. Green lights indicate normal functionality and show the normal
operating status of the control. Yellow lights indicate an area of concern such as an out of regulation
condition, or a relevel limit. Red lights indicate a fault or trip condition where the control is shut
down.
3.2 STATUS INDICATORS
CONTROL POWER (GREEN): Indicates the control power is on and that there is
sufficient power to operate the control.
FIELD POWER (GREEN): Indicates that the CR1 Field Power relay is pulled in
and the secondary voltage ACF is being applied at
TB5 to the field power bridge.
RUN INPUT (GREEN): Indicates that the control has a run contact input. Field
power output is now enabled.
OUT OF REG(YELLOW): Indicates that the tachometer voltage is not equal to the
reference voltage. Required speed cannot be
maintained when the control is producing full output.
LEVEL LIMIT (YELLOW): Indicates that the releveling over speed circuit is
enabled and the over speed trip limit is set to 10% of
contract speed.
3.3 FAULT CONDITIONS
The control monitors certain conditions that may cause faulty operation of the machine. An
instantaneous shut down will occur when a fault condition is detected. To aid in set up and
troubleshooting, the fault circuits will latch. You may reset the control after a trip condition has
occurred by dropping the RUN input or by disconnecting the control power. The DIRECTION,
TACH LOSS and OVERSPEED trips can be disabled by placing a jumper across the trip disable test
points during set up.

WARNING: THE FAULT CIRCUITS ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE CIRCUITRY

AND PROVIDE INDICATION OF RELIABLE OPERATION OF THE
CONTROLLER. THE FAULT CIRCUITS SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A
SAFETY DEVICE FOR PROTECTING PERSONNEL. THE FAULT
CIRCUITS IN THE CONTROL ARE NOT REDUNDANT; THEY MAY
RELY UPON THE OPERATION OF THE CONTROL TO INDICATE
FAULTY OPERATING CONDITIONS. THEREFORE, THE ELEVATOR
COMPANY SHOULD ALWAYS USE REDUNDANT SAFETY DETECTORS
AND BACK-UP DEVICES TO PROVIDE SAFETY FOR PERSONNEL.
IT IS DANGEROUS TO RUN WITH THE DISABLE TESTPOINTS

JUMPERED. REMOVE THE DISABLE JUMPER BEFORE PUTTING THE
CAR IN SERVICE.
DIRECTION (RED): Indicates and disables the control when the tachometer's direction is
different from the direction called for by the computer input signal.
A direction fault trip will occur if, for example, the input signal is
polarized for the UP direction and the car should move at more than
10% of contract speed in the DN direction.
TACH LOSS (RED): The Tach Loss circuit is designed to detect a complete loss of
tachometer feedback voltage when the armature voltage is
approximately equal to contract loop voltage. Problems that will not
be detected by this circuit such as slippage of the Tach or other Tach
malfunctions may cause a reduction in tach feedback voltage causing
an overspeed condition. This circuit relies on proper setting of the
armature feedback. The tach loss circuit is designed to shut down the
control in case of zero tachometer voltage as long as the armature
voltage exceeds ± 3 volts at the ARM FEEDBACK testpoint.
OVER SPEED (RED): The over speed trip is set at 110% of the speed reference or at 10% of
the speed reference when the LL contact is pulled in. The over speed
circuit will latch if the tachometer feedback exceeds the speed
reference by 1.00 volt. During re-leveling, when the "LL" contact is
pulled in, the over speed circuit will latch if the scaled tachometer
feedback exceeds 1.00 volt.
OVER CURRENT (RED): The control will trip instantaneously on over current if the output
exceeds the control rating by more than 50%. The maximum output
of the control should never exceed the output rating of the control
(7.5 Amps) during normal operation.
8
POWER RELAY
FAILURE (RED): Indicates that the CR1 field power relay has failed. The CR1 relay
disconnects the AC power from the field Power Bridge while in its
normally open state. The control will not be enabled the next time
the RUN contact is pulled in if the CR1 relay should weld closed.
When this fault exists the FIELD POWER and POWER RELAY
FAILURE lights will indicate a welded relay.
CAUTION: The CR1 relay is a secondary field power disconnect relay. Any fault condition will
drop out the enable relay and the CR1 field power relay to disconnect AC field power. The CR1
relay should not be used as a primary field power "make" contact. The RUN contact should always
be energized before the customer AC power relay is energized in order to protect the CR1
relay.
NOTE: POWER RELAY FAILURE is NOT resettable. The CR1 Field Power Relay must be
replaced if this fault should occur.
3.4 ADJUSTMENTS
ARM FEEDBACK (P1)
The armature feedback signal is used for stability. The ARM FEEDBACK potentiometer should be
adjusted for 7.5 volts (measured at the ARM FB testpoint) when the car is running at contract speed.
The system may be sluggish if there is too much armature feedback and over responsive if there is
too little armature feedback. The armature feedback should never be set above 10 volts or below 4
volts when running at contract speed.
CAUTION: A setting below ± 4V at contract speed can cause the tach loss circuit to become
inoperative. Do not set the ARM FB testpoint below ± 4V at contract speed.
LOOP GAIN (P2)
The LOOP GAIN setting determines how quickly the control will correct for errors in the speed
feedback loop (TACH vs. REF OUT). The LOOP GAIN adjustment should be used to fine-tune the
system for regulation and stability. If the system tends to be too responsive the LOOP GAIN should
be reduced by turning the potentiometer counterclockwise (CCW). If the control is slow to respond
then the LOOP GAIN should be increased by turning the potentiometer clockwise (CW).
9
CONTRACT SPD (P3)
The CONTRACT SPD potentiometer scales the amount of tachometer feedback, which the control
uses to regulate the speed of the car. The CONTRACT SPD potentiometer must be adjusted to
obtain contract speed. This adjustment ensures proper calibration of the tachometer signal to the
reference signal.
Note: The REF OUT and TACH testpoints must measure approximately 10V at contract speed for
proper operation of the control.
FIELD CURRENT (P4)
This potentiometer sets the range of current that the control can regulate. It should be adjusted just
high enough to assure that contract speed is obtained under all load conditions. Full speed may not
be obtained due to current limiting if the FIELD CURRENT potentiometer is set too low. Instability
in the system could also occur if the FIELD CURRENT potentiometer is set too low.
The adjustment of the FIELD CURRENT potentiometer is outlined in section five. However, some
suggestions may be helpful.
1. The control cannot provide more current than the resistance of the load and bus voltage will
permit. As shown by the following formula:
I (max) = [E (field power) x 1.4] / R (field)
Example: My AC Secondary Voltage (E field power) while using the X1 to X2 tap is

110 VAC. The resistance of my field (R field) is 40 Ohms. The maximum
current (I max) the control can provide with this configuration is
(110 VAC x 1.4) / 40 Ohms which equals 3.85 Amps
2. The control is current limited at 7.5 amps. This current limit point is determined by the
setting of the CURRENT potentiometer (full clockwise equals’ current limiting at 7.5 amps).
3. Field connections are important to the response of the system. The lower the inductance of
the field usually means the faster the response of the system. Parallel field connections are
therefore desirable. However, paralleling the field windings decreases the resistance of the
generator field and increases the field current for a given maximum field voltage. This may
cause the current requirements of the generator field to exceed the maximum current rating
of the control. MG sets with four fields should be connected in a series parallel configuration
for best results.
10
4. Field voltage directly affects the field current. The maximum field voltage will be 1.4 times
the secondary voltage of the field power isolation transformer connected to TB5. This
voltage should be enough to supply adequate field current. If an insufficient amount of field
current is supplied, you will not be able to obtain contract speed at full load.
5. The current required for contract speed can be determined during set up and initial test runs
under full load. Calculate the secondary voltage for the AC Field Power Supply by using
the following formula:
E (field power) = [I (max) x R (field)] / 1.414
Example: The maximum current I require with a fully loaded car going down is five
amps (5A). The resistance of my generator field is 34 Ohms. I calculate my
required secondary voltage to be: 5 Amps x 34 Ohms, which equals 170 volts
DC. I calculate my AC voltage as 170 VDC / 1.4 which equals 120.2 VAC
The secondary voltage should be adjusted to select the nearest value transformer tap. This
keeps the maximum DC field voltage within the calculated range and makes the system safer
by limiting the maximum field current. In cases where the transformer tap falls between the
calculated AC voltage, the next higher tap must be used to achieve the contract speed under
all conditions. When this is the case, a resistance should be added in series with the shunt
field to limit the field current, as shown in the hook up as R3. In the example above, the
required secondary voltage is 120.2 volts AC. The isolation transformer has taps for 110
volts AC and 130 volts AC. In this case I will want to use the 130-volt AC tap. This tap can
be used safely by adding a resistance (R3) in series with the field. This resistance should be
sized to limit the maximum field current to the value necessary to reach contract speed. The
total resistance may be calculated by the following formula:
R(total) = [E(secondary tap voltage) x 1.4] - E (field power) /I(max)
Example: Since I have chosen to use the 130-volt AC transformer tap, I will first
calculate the DC equivalent voltage as follows. 130 volts AC x 1.414 equals
183.82 volts DC. Next, I subtract the DC field power voltage from the
available DC voltage (from the transformer tap chosen). This voltage must
now be dropped across the resistor I will add 183.82 volts DC minus 170
volts DC equals 13.82 volts DC. I then divide this voltage by my maximum
field current of 5 Amps. 13.82 volts DC/5 Amps equals 2.76 Ohms. This is
the value of the resistor that I should put in series with the generator field.
5. The field voltage and any added resistance will definitely affect the system performance.
While it is good practice to limit the AC voltage to be just high enough to reach contract
speed at full loads, the performance may be limited under certain conditions. A low line
voltage may prevent the machine from reaching contract speed. Low line voltage may also
prevent fast acceleration ramps and round off the top of the curve. This low line voltage will
limit the maximum current to the field, which will limit the maximum loop voltage and
11
ultimately limit the system torque at higher speed. On the other hand, if the voltage is too
high, the control must limit the current and this can cause system instability. The AC voltage
tap selected on the transformer should never exceed the calculated value by more than
30%.
STABILITY (P5)
The stability gain setting determines how quickly the control will correct for changes in the armature
feedback signal versus changes in the reference signal (change in ARM FEEDBACK vs change in
REF OUT). This adjustment should be used to fine tune the stability of the system after the armature
feedback signal has been properly adjusted. The system may be sluggish if the STABILITY is set
too high and unstable if the STABILITY is set too low.
SIG IN GAIN (P6)
The SIG IN GAIN potentiometer allows the input signal from the computer to be scaled up or down
to the appropriate levels for controlling the D1028. The D1028 uses positive 10 volts as a full on
(contract speed) signal in the UP direction.
3.5 TEST POINTS
Test points are available as aids for set up and adjustment of the control.
FIELD CURRENT
The FIELD CURRENT testpoint monitors field current and is calibrated so one (1) volt is equal to
one (1) amp of field current. Like all of the other testpoints the voltage will be positive in the UP
direction and negative in the DN direction.
ARM FEEDBACK
This testpoint is used to set the scale of the armature feedback used in the stability circuits. The
armature feedback should be set to positive 7.5 volts while running at contact speed in the UP
direction. The armature feedback may be fine-tuned for maximum stability of the system after the
elevator system is fully functional. It is important that the armature feedback signal is positive in
the UP direction and negative in the DN direction.
CAUTION: The armature feedback voltage should never be set for less than 4 volts at
contract speed. The tach loss circuit may become inoperative if the armature
feedback is set too low.
12
REF OUT
This testpoint monitors the scaled signal from the computer-input reference. This is the ultimate
signal the system will follow. This testpoint is used to monitor the reference pattern on an
oscilloscope.
COMMON
All of the measurements made during the set up and adjustment of the control should be referenced
to this testpoint unless otherwise noted. The negative lead of the multimeter should be connected
to this testpoint for all measurements.
TRIP DISABLE
The TRIP DISABLE testpoint is available for use by the set up person to aid in the initial set up and
inspection of the control. A clip lead placed from the TRIP DISABLE testpoint to the COMMON
testpoint will prevent a control shut down caused by the DIRECTION, TACH LOSS and OVER
SPEED faults. The fault condition indicators will still be functional to aid in detecting and adjusting
for faults during set up.
When setting up the control, two misadjustments that commonly cause the unit to trip are:
# Pulling in the leveling contact too early
# Rapid reversing of the UP and DN inputs before the car has stopped.
The control will trip on OVER SPEED if the LL contact is pulled in prior to reaching a leveling
speed. It is important to note that the over speed trip point is preset to 10% of contract speed when
the LL contact is pulled in.
The control will trip on a DIRECTION fault if there is a rapid reversal of the UP and DN inputs
before the car has stopped. Releveling before stopping will cause a direction fault trip.
WARNING: IT IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE CAR WITH THE DISABLE TEST

POINTS JUMPERED AND SAFETY SHUT DOWNS DISABLED. THE
DISABLED JUMPER MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR
INTO SERVICE.
THE JUMPER ACROSS THE DISABLE TEST POINTS SHOULD BE USED

IN THE SET UP MODE BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSON AND
MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE THE CAR IS PUT INTO SERVICE.
TACH
This testpoint monitors the tachometer feedback. The tachometer feedback should be set
to positive 10.00 volts while running at contract speed in the UP direction. This testpoint
is also used to monitor the tachometer pattern on an oscilloscope.
3.6 AUTO/SET UP SWITCH

The AUTO/SET UP switch is used as a set up and troubleshooting aid. During normal
operation of the control, the switch should be left in the AUTO position. Setting the
switch to the SET UP position allows the elevator to run without using the tachometer
feedback signal to regulate speed. When the control is in the SET UP mode the speed
regulation will be poor, all of the fault trips will be operational except for TACH LOSS.
This will allow you to troubleshoot tachometer signal problems, which may be the cause
of poor regulation, or fault trip problems.
WARNING: THE ELEVATOR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE PUT IN

SERVICE WITH THE D1028 IN SET UP MODE. THE TACH
LOSS CIRCUIT IS INOPERATIVE IN THE SET UP MODE. THE
AUTO/SET UP SWITCH MUST BE SET TO AUTO BEFORE THE
CAR IS PUT IN SERVICE.
3.7 AUTO/MANUAL RESET SWITCH (SW2)

The SW2 switch sets the D1028 reset mode. When the switch is in the AUTO position,
the D1028 can be reset by dropping the RUN command for approximately two seconds.
When SW2 is in the MAN position, a fault trip must be reset by removing control-input
power. The manual reset position is useful for troubleshooting intermittent faults because
the fault indicators latch until the control power is cycled on and off.
NOTE: a POWER RELAY FAILURE fault trip is not resettable. The CR1
relay must be replaced if this fault occurs
14
SECTION FOUR
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 CONTROL INPUTS
The control circuitry is fully isolated from the input contact circuitry making the D1028 highly
immune to external noise. The contact circuitry operates from 24 volts DC supplied from the V+
terminal on TB3. The contacts are low voltage and conduct approximately 0.01 amps. Fully
enclosed relays with good wiping action are suggested for selection contacts, to protect against
malfunctions due to dirt or dust.
WARNING: THE BI-DIRECTIONAL FIELD REGULATOR SHOULD BE INSTALLED,

AND OPERATION OF ALL EQUIPMENT IN THE ELEVATOR SYSTEM;
WARNING: CONTROLLER EQUIPMENT IS AT LINE VOLTAGE WHEN AC POWER

WARNING: THE USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFORMING TO THE NATIONAL

ALL OTHER APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES, WHICH GOVERN SUCH
AND OVER CURRENT PROTECTION.
15
RUN CONTACT
The RUN contact at TB3 must be closed in order to enable the control. The control’s output will be
immediately disabled if the RUN contact is opened. The RUN contact must be closed before the
customer AC power relay is pulled in. The RUN contact should be opened whenever the car is
stopped or the doors are opened.
L.L.
The Leveling Limit contact will scale the over speed trip point to 10% of the initial trip point setting.
This is provided so that an over speed condition can be detected during leveling when speeds are
typically 10% of contract speed.
TACHOMETER
The control will accept a clean tachometer signal from 15 to 150 volts DC at full speed. The
tachometer-input signal must be free of noise to get acceptable regulation. For best results, the
tachometer should be coupled directly with the hoist motor shaft and properly aligned for minimal
noise. It is also important to shield the tachometer wire at the D1028 control end only.
Note: It is not advisable to use any material that is flexible, such as rubber or soft plastics
when coupling the tachometer to the motor shaft. These materials tend to create a
noise or oscillation problem in the car by introducing ripple on the tachometer signal

4.2 POWER CONNECTIONS
The following section describes the connections to be made in order to properly connect the control
to the elevator system power connections.
OVER VOLTAGE BUSS RESISTOR
A 50 Ohm 250 Watt resistor (typically supplied by IPC) must be connected to the terminals marked
RES on TB2. This resistor protects the D1028 field power buss from over voltage conditions, which
are caused by sudden power loss or a drastic change in direction.
WARNING: THE OVER VOLTAGE RESISTOR MUST BE INSTALLED AT ALL TIMES

DURING OPERATION OF THE CONTROL OTHERWISE, SEVERE
DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL WILL OCCUR.
F+ F-
Connect the positive side of the generator field to the F+ terminal on TB2. Connect the negative side
of the generator field to the F- terminal on TB2. If these connections are reversed the direction of
the car will usually reverse. Damage to the control could possibly occur from an improper
connection.
A+ A-
Connect the positive motor armature feedback lead to the A+ terminal of TB1. Connect the negative
motor armature feedback lead to the A- terminal of TB1. The connections should be polarized so
a positive voltage appears on the ARM FEEDBACK testpoint when running in the UP direction.
Improper connection will cause oscillation and fault trips to occur.
AC CONTROL POWER
Connect one lead of the 208 or 220 volt AC supply to the terminal marked AC on TB1. Connect the
other lead to the appropriate AC terminal (208VAC or 220 VAC) according to the input line voltage.
This is the AC power input for the control circuitry on the D1028. The control may not function
properly if the AC connections are made improperly. Please note that there is one terminal for 208-
volt connection and one terminal for 220-volt connection. This input is not phase sensitive.
17
FIELD AC POWER
The connections to the AC1 and AC2 terminals on TB2 are from the customer’s AC field power
relays. These relays are attached to the secondary taps on the field power isolation transformer
(typically supplied by IPC). These connections supply the AC power for the output section of the
D1028. The maximum output voltage and current are determined by the secondary tap connections
to the AC1 and AC2 terminals. The AC3 terminal is not used on the standard D1028.

5.2 SET UP: (MG SET NOT RUNNING)
The following section will adjust the D1028 to the settings determined in the previous section.
5.2.1. Connect the regulator to system. Typical connections are shown in the hook-up print. See
warnings on page one.
5.2.2. Switch the regulator to the SET UP mode; with the MG set stopped.
5.2.3. Turn all potentiometers on the front panel fully counter clockwise for minimum settings.
5.2.5. Attach the positive lead of a digital voltmeter to the REF OUT testpoint. Attach the
negative lead of the voltmeter to the COMMON testpoint.
5.2.6. Apply power to the control. Note: The RUN contact at TB3 does not have to be closed.
5.2.7. Adjust the SIG IN GAIN potentiometer so that the REF OUT testpoint measures 10 volts
when a full speed signal is called for at the computer. This is a one-time adjustment!
5.2.8. Call for a run at inspection speed. Measure the voltage at the REF OUT testpoint. Compare
the value to the expected value in Table Two.
5.2.9. Turn the CURRENT potentiometer two turns clockwise to mid-range. Turn the
CONTRACT SPD potentiometer two turns clockwise to mid range. Turn the ARM
FEEDBACK potentiometer two turns clockwise to mid range.
5.2.10. Turn the tachometer by hand in the direction that the tachometer will rotate while the car
is traveling in the UP direction. Note the polarity of the tachometer signal.
5.2.11. Connect the positive lead of the tachometer to the +UP terminal of the D1028. Connect the
negative lead of the tachometer to the -UP terminal on the D1028. Connect the shield of
the tachometer cable to the COM terminal on the D1028.
Note: The shield of the tachometer cable should be connected to the D1028 only. Do not
connect the shield at the tachometer side.
24
5.3 SET-UP (MG SET RUNNING)
The following steps are to be performed with the elevator car in the middle of the shaft way. The
D1028 should be in SET UP mode (AUTO/SET UP switch to the SET UP position). The Motor
Generator set should be running and the car should be prepared to call for a run at inspection speed.
The proper sequencing of contact closure is essential for proper operation of the D1028. The
following sequence is recommended:
1. AC control power is applied to the D1028.

2. The RUN contact is closed at TB3 of the D1028. Customer RUN contacts may also close
at this time.
3. Customer’s AC field power contacts are closed, applying secondary voltage from the
isolation transformer to the D1028 AC1 and AC2 Field Power terminals.
4. Call for a speed and direction by applying an input signal to the +UP and -UP terminals on
the D1028.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING STEPS SHOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE SET UP

MODE WITH THE SW1 SWITCH IN THE SET UP POSITION. DO NOT
ATTEMPT THIS PROCEDURE IN THE NORMAL RUNNING OR AUTO
MODE.
5.3.1. Call for a run at inspection speed in the UP direction.
5.3.2 Determine the actual speed of the car with a hand-held tachometer.
5.3.3. Call for a run at inspection speed in the DN direction. Adjust the inspection speed by
turning the FIELD CURRENT potentiometer, P4, clockwise until the speed is
approximately equal to the speed in the UP direction.
5.3.4. Call for a run at inspection speed. Monitor the tachometer feedback voltage by placing the
positive lead of a multimeter on the TACH testpoint and the negative lead of the multimeter
on the COMMON testpoint. Adjust the CONTRACT SPD potentiometer until the voltage
is equal to the voltage at the REF OUT testpoint.
5.3.5. Move the positive lead of the multimeter to the ARM FB testpoint. Call for a run in the UP
direction at inspection speed. The voltage at the ARM FB testpoint must be positive. If
the voltage is negative, you must reverse the leads to A+ and A- on TB1.
5.3.6. Adjust the ARM FEEDBACK potentiometer until the voltage is equal to the voltage value
selected in step 5.1.4 D. This voltage should be equal to the voltage at the REF IN
testpoint multiplied by 0.75.
25
5.4 NORMAL RUNNING MODE
In this section, the D1028 will be put into the AUTO mode. The tachometer feedback and armature
feedback voltages will be fine-tuned to achieve complete closed loop operation. The following steps
require the use of a dual trace storage oscilloscope for maximum precision.
5.4.1. Open the customer RUN contacts. Open the customer AC Field Power contacts. Open the
RUN contact at TB3 on the D1028. Turn off the control AC power and switch SW1 to the
AUTO position.
5.4.2. Turn the LOOP GAIN potentiometer, P2, two turns clockwise to the center position.
5.4.4. Set up the oscilloscope as follows:

- Connect scope gnd (floating) to the COMMON test point.
- Connect the Channel 1 probe to the REF OUT test point.
- Connect Channel 2 probe to the TACH test point.
- Set the Volts/Division to 2V/division for both Channel 1 and Channel 2.
- Set the Time base to 0.1 sec/div.
- Set the display mode to Dual Trace (Ch1 & Ch2).
- Set the Storage mode to roll.
- Set both traces at one division above bottom graticule.
CURRENT AND CONTRACT SPEED CALIBRATION
5.4.5. Call for a run at low speed in the UP direction. Observe the REF OUT and TACH signals
on the oscilloscope. Both should be positive for the UP direction.
5.4.6. Call for a run at low speed in the DN direction. Observe the REF OUT and TACH signals
on the oscilloscope. Both signals should be negative and of the same magnitude as in step
5.4.5.
5.4.7. Call for a run at high speed.
A. Monitor the TACH testpoint with a voltmeter.
B. Slowly adjust the FIELD CURRENT potentiometer clockwise (increasing the field
current), until the voltage at the TACH testpoint stops increasing.
At this point the control is properly regulating speed and current. Turn the
CURRENT potentiometer ½ turn more clockwise for headroom.
26
C. The signal at the TACH testpoint should now be equal in amplitude to the signal at
the REF OUT testpoint at all speeds.
27
D. Using a hand-held tachometer, measure the actual speed on the sheave. The voltage
at the TACH testpoint should be equal to 10 volts and the car should be running at
contract speed.
E. Readjust the CONTRACT SPD potentiometer, P3, to obtain the exact contract speed
equal to 10V at the TACH testpoint, if necessary.
F. Check the ARM FEEDBACK testpoint and verify that the voltage reading is 7.5V
at contract speed.
5.4.9. The following oscilloscope plots show the TACH (channel 2) and REF OUT (channel 1)
testpoint signals. An ideal trace occurs when the tachometer and the reference signals track
on top of each other over the entire run.

28
5.5. FINE TUNING ADJUSTMENTS
Fine tuning the performance of the D1028 requires a good deal of trial and error. The following
suggestions are to be used only as a guide. There are often many combinations of acceleration and
deceleration settings as well as LOOP GAIN, ARM FEEDBACK, and STABILITY settings that
will produce a properly regulated TACH vs. REF OUT pattern.
SLUGGISH RESPONSE
The TACH signal is lagging far behind the REF OUT signal. This is causing an OUT OF REG
(out of regulation) condition. The elevator is slow reaching top speed and may take too long to reach
the floor during deceleration.
TUNING PROCEDURE FOR SLUGGISH/SLOW RESPONSE:
1. Check and adjust the acceleration and deceleration rates because they may be too
long.
2. Increase the LOOP GAIN potentiometer clockwise as required, observing the

pattern.
3. If the LOOP GAIN potentiometer is full clockwise and the response is still sluggish
reset the LOOP GAIN potentiometer to the center position.
4. Monitor the ARM FEEDBACK testpoint with a voltmeter.
5. Decrease the ARM FEEDBACK potentiometer by turning the pot counterclockwise

slightly (½ volt on the ARM FEEDBACK testpoint), observing the pattern.
6. Increase the STABILITY potentiometer clockwise if the pattern becomes unstable.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 as required.
CAUTION: AN ARMATURE FEEDBACK SETTING BELOW ± 4.0V AT CONTRACT

SPEED CAN CAUSE THE TACH LOSS CIRCUIT TO BE INOPERATIVE
DO NOT SET THE ARMATURE FEEDBACK TESTPOINT BELOW ± 4.0V
AT CONTRACT SPEED.
29
OVERSHOOT/INSTABILITY
In this case the TACH signal is often leading the REF OUT signal or oscillating around it. The
control is correcting too quickly for changes causing the elevator to be unstable.
TUNING PROCEDURE FOR OSCILLATING/OVER RESPONSE
1. Check and adjust the acceleration rates because they may be too short.
2. Decrease the LOOP GAIN potentiometer counterclockwise as required, observing

the pattern.
3. If the LOOP GAIN potentiometer is fully counterclockwise and the response is still
too fast, reset the LOOP GAIN potentiometer to the center position.
4. Increase the STABILITY potentiometer clockwise, observing the pattern.
5. If the STABILITY potentiometer is fully clockwise and the response is still unstable
reset the STABILITY potentiometer fully counterclockwise.
6. Monitor the ARM FEEDBACK testpoint with a voltmeter.
7. Increase the ARM FEEDBACK potentiometer clockwise slightly, (½ volt on the

ARM FEEDBACK testpoint), observing the pattern.
8. Increase the STABILITY potentiometer clockwise if the pattern becomes unstable.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 as required.
CAUTION: THE ARM FEEDBACK TESTPOINT SHOULD NEVER BE GREATER

THAN ±10 VOLTS AT CONTRACT SPEED.
30
5.6. SELECTING A HIGH SPEED CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR
The maximum speed of the elevator is dependent on the amount of current available to the generator
field. By limiting the amount of current available to the generator field, we can limit the maximum
speed of the elevator. There are two methods of limiting the maximum current available. The first
method is to select a tap of the Field Power Isolation Transformer (typically supplied by IPC) which
supplies just enough voltage to the field and allows the car to attain contract speed in a worst case
high speed run (empty car down or full car up). The second method is necessary when you must
move to a higher tap on the transformer and now have more than enough voltage/current available
and can exceed the contract speed in a worst case high speed run. When this is the case, you must
insert a resistor in series with the generator field to limit the maximum current available.
The following pages contain tables, which will be used to determine the value of the HIGH SPEED
CURRENT, LIMITING RESISTOR you must use to safely limit the current. In order to use the
tables you will need to know the following:
A. The Field Power Isolation Transformer secondary tap selected in step 5.1.3 A.
B. The Generator Field Current at contract speed. This may be determined by placing the
positive lead of a voltmeter on the FIELD CURRENT testpoint and measuring the voltage
during a worst case high speed run. The field current is equal to the voltage measured at the
testpoint (1V = 1A).
C. The Maximum DC Field Voltage at contract speed. This may be measured at the F+ and
F- terminals during a worst case high speed run.
After you have selected the proper table, read down the left-hand column and find your field current
at contract speed. Next, read across to the column that indicates your field voltage at contract speed.
The value listed at the cell you just located is the resistance for the HIGH-SPEED CURRENT
LIMITING RESISTOR (R3) (See Figure 1). This value should be adjusted as necessary to make
sure you still reach contract speed and to account for a drop in line voltage.

5.7. SELECTING A LEVELING/RE-LEVELING CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR
A LEVELING/RE-LEVELING CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR is absolutely necessary

to ensure safe performance of the elevator. The purpose of this resistor is to limit the maximum
speed that the elevator could reach while leveling/re-leveling if the control was to fail in a fully on
state. This resistor is labeled R1 on the hook-up print. Without a LEVELING/RE-LEVELING
CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR, If the D1028 was to fail fully on, the elevator car would
take-off and run at full (contract) speed.
The following pages contain tables which will be used to determine the value of the
LEVELING/RE-LEVELING CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR you must use to safely limit
the current. In order to use the tables you will need to know the following:
A. The Field Power Isolation Transformer secondary tap selected in step 5.1.3 A.
B. The Generator Field Current at leveling/re-leveling speed. This may be determined by

placing the positive lead of a voltmeter on the FIELD CURRENT testpoint and measuring
the voltage for a worst case run during leveling. The field current is equal to the voltage
measured at the testpoint (1V = 1A).
C. The Maximum DC Field Voltage at leveling speed. This may be measured at the F+ and
F- terminals during a worst case leveling speed run.
After you have selected the proper table, read down the left-hand column and find your field current
at contract speed. Next, read across to the column that indicates your field voltage at contract speed.
The value listed at the cell you just located is the resistance for the LEVELING/RE-LEVELING
CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR (R3) (See Figure Six). This value should be adjusted as
necessary to make sure you still reach leveling speed and to account for a drop in line voltage.

5.7. SUICIDE CIRCUIT
The suicide circuit disconnects the generator field from the controller and places the field
across the Hoist Motor Armature. During the opening of the field contacts, any current
flowing through the generator field must continue to flow. This will cause the contacts to
arc until the field current decays.
It is absolutely necessary that the arcing is extinguished and the field contacts are
completely open before the suicide contacts close. Any overlapping of these contacts
will cause damage to the control. Therefore, the suicide contacts must be delayed in
closing even under power loss conditions.
The suicide contacts should not be back, or auxiliary, contacts of the RUN relay since
there will not be a sufficient time delay between the contacts making/braking.
The time delay will depend on the duration of the arc across the field contacts. For this
reason, we have shown resistors R2 and R4 in the hook-up print, across the field contacts
to permit some current flow during the opening of the RUN contacts. R2 and R4 will
provide a discharge path through the control for the field current, preventing damage to the
control caused by the closing of the suicide contact.

SECTION SIX
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following pages contain tables which list common problems that may be encountered during set
up and operation of the model D1028 Bi-Directional Generator Field Control. The probable cause
column contains the most likely reason for the problem. The corrective action column contains
steps, which may be taken to correct the problem.

WARNING: THE USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFORMING WITH THE NATIONAL

OPERATOR DEVICE INSTALLATION, WIRING AND START UP. THE
ALL OTHER APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES WHICH GOVERN SUCH

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION

CONTROL TRIPS ON Tachometer wiring error Check the tachometer wiring. The
DIRECTION FAULT tachometer signal at the TACH
testpoint should be positive when the
car is traveling in the UP direction.
Long delay between the Brake lifting Correct the controller logic to
and RUN signal application is causing remove delays between the picking
the elevator to roll back before of the brake and the application of
accelerating away from the floor. the RUN signal.
Rapid reversal of the Elevator Car Releveling before the car has stopped
direction prior to stopping will cause a direction fault. Correct
the controller logic as required.
CONTROL TRIPS ON Tachometer signal is not present or Check the mechanical and electrical
TACH LOSS intermittent connections of the tachometer.
The tachometer feedback signal is the Spin the tachometer by hand and
wrong polarity or too small. measure the voltage at the +UP and -
terminals at TB2. The voltage
should increase as the tach spins
faster. The polarity of the
tachometer voltage should reverse as
the tach is spun in the opposite
direction. Verify that the tachometer
feedback signal at the TACH
testpoint is positive in the UP
direction and is 10 volts at contract
speed.
The Armature Feedback voltage is set Too much Armature Feedback will
too high. make the TACH LOSS circuit too
sensitive. Re-adjust the Armature
Feedback potentiometer for 7.5 volts
on the ARM FB testpoint at contract
speed.
The picking of the brake is delayed If the Armature Feedback voltage is
during take off from the floor allowed to build up before the
tachometer starts turning, the control
will trip on tach loss. Check
controller logic and brake release.

CONTROL TRIPS ON The Level Limit (LL) contact Make sure that the LL contact is open
OVERSPEED at TB3 is closed during a during a normal run and closes during
normal run leveling and releveling only.
The tachometer feedback Compare the signal at the TACH
voltage has exceeded the testpoint to the REF OUT testpoint.
reference voltage The TACH testpoint should never go
higher than 10 volts and should not
exceed the REF OUT voltage. Test in
both UP and DN directions.
Weak Hoist Motor Field If you are using field weakening at
contract speed, remove it and try
running at contract speed. If no trip
occurs, you are weakening too much.
Also, the weakening of the field
should occur after the REF OUT
testpoint has passed the ACC END
knee and leveled out, otherwise you
may get a surge (bump) at the ACC
END knee which will cause a trip.
The CONTRACT SPD Adjust the CONTRACT SPD
potentiometer is set too low potentiometer to obtain contract speed
exactly. The TACH testpoint should
read 10 volts when running at contract
speed.
Loose tachometer connection Ensure that the tachometer is mounted
or tach wheel is skipping / securely. Check the coupling of the
slipping. tachometer to the motor, or the
connection to the roller wheel. Make
sure that the surface that the roller
wheel rides upon is smooth and free
from bumps. Make sure that the
tachometer mount places enough
pressure on the roller wheel to keep it
on the surface it is reading.
