OPERATION
(Check off box when complete)
Run the car and verify the following:
No Faults
Make sure the car is moving without triggering a fault either
on the Smartrise SRU or the drive. If the SRU board displays a
Drive Fault:
o Go to Troubleshooting Drive Fault for corrective
actions.
Proper Direction
Make sure the car is moving in the same direction as the
control switch on the Run Bug.
o Go to Troubleshooting Wrong Direction for corrective
actions.
At Speed
Make sure that the car is moving in both directions at the
proper inspection speed.
o Go to Troubleshooting Car Not Moving or Too Slow for
corrective actions.
Under Control
Make sure that the car is moving under full control. The car
should stop when commanded from the Run Bug. Verify that
the car runs with no faults for 10 seconds or more.
o Go to Troubleshooting No Control for corrective
actions.

TROUBLESHOOTING
DRIVE FAULT
If the Smartrise controller indicates a Drive Fault and the softstart has the fault
LED flashing, refer to the following table for troubleshooting:
Sprecher + Schuh LED Fault Indication and Diagnostics
Flashes Fault Type Possible Fault Explanations Possible Solutions
1 Overload
Motor Overload condition present
FLA dial adjustment not matched
to motor
Check for motor overload condition
Verify actual motor current does not
exceed FLA
Verify/Reset FLA Dial adjustment
Program/modify Overload setting for load
or duty cycle required
2
Over
Temperature
Controller ventilation blocked
Controller duty cycle exceeded
Cooling fan not working
Ambient temperature exceeded
Failed control module
Over-current condition with
Overload disabled
Check for proper ventilation
Verify duty cycle
Connect or replace cooling fan
Wait for controller to cool or provide
external cooling
Replace control module
3
Phase
Reversal
Incoming supply voltage is not the
expected sequence of either ABC
or CBA
Check power wiring
Change two of the incoming phases and
verify that the motor is spinning in the
correct direction. If the motor does not
turn in the correct direction, change the
incoming phases back to their original
connections and change dip switch #9 to
the desired Line Rotation sequence setting.
4
Phase Loss/
Open Load
Missing Supply Phase
Missing or unable to detect motor
connection
Check that the fault contactor is closing. If
not, verify that the safety string is closed or
jumped out.
Check for open line (i.e. open fuse)
Check for incorrect wiring to load
Verify proper operation of the fault
contactor
Verify connection type to motor (LINE or
DELTA)
Ensure product is sized correctly for motor
5
Phase
Imbalance
Unbalanced Phase Currents ( >
65% differential)
Incoming Line voltage problem
Check motor current in each phase to
verify imbalance. Motor current imbalance
can indicate potential motor problems
6 Shorted SCR
Shorted SCR
Welded or latched Bypass
contactor
Verify connection type (LINE or DELTA) and
verify setting
Perform continuity check across power
poles (L1 T1, L2 T2, L3 T3).
Measurements should exceed 10 k ohms.
For best results remove line and load
motor connections.
Cycle power to device and attempt to
restart, if fault persists replace device
7 Test Intended operation Reset Fault
12 Checksum Internal Software corruption Replace Device
9
WRONG DIRECTION
1. If the motor is running in the wrong direction, it can usually be fixed
by swapping any two motor leads.
CAR NOT MOVING OR TOO SLOW
1. If the car doesnt move verify that the valve relays are turning on
when a direction is given (i.e. UPL and SM for Up direction, DNL for
Down direction).
2. Measure the outputs on the DIN rail to verify that the valve board
is working properly. If the proper voltages are present check the
wiring and to the valves.
3. Adjust your valves as required to get proper starts, stops, and run
speeds.
NO CONTROL
1. Verify that the SF1 relay comes on when commanding the car to
move. It is controlled by output 601 on the SRU board.
2. Verify that the fault contactor is engaging when car is commanded
in either direction but the pump motor only comes on in the up
direction.
3. Verify that the valve DIN rail terminals are getting 120vac when car
is being commanded to run:
UPH (up high speed valve)
UPL (up leveling speed valve)
DNH (down high speed valve)
DNL (down leveling speed valve)

APPENDIX 1
Sprecher + Schuh PCE Soft Start Dip Switch Settings
The PCE elevator controller is programmed through dipswitches located on the
front of the controller. Default settings are indicated by the shaded areas.
START TIME
SETTING (SECONDS) DIP SWITCH # 1 DIP SWITCH # 2 DIP SWITCH # 8 This defines the time the controller
will ramp or limit current to the motor.
The controller can determine when
the motor is up-to-speed, therefore it
may transition to bypass before this
time expires. If the motor does not
reach speed before the time expires,
the controller will continue under SCR
control and not close the bypass
contactor.
2 OFF OFF OFF
5 ON OFF OFF
10 OFF ON OFF
15 ON ON OFF
START MODE
MODE SETTING DIP SWITCH # 3 In Current Limit mode, a set level of current is applied to the motor over
the start time. In Soft Start mode, the device will ramp the torque from the
initial level to 100% over the start time.
CURRENT LIMIT OFF
SOFT START ON
CURRENT LIMIT / INITIAL TORQUE LEVEL
%FLA / %TORQUE DIP SWITCH # 4 DIP SWITCH # 5 This defines the time the controller will ramp or limit
current to the motor. The controller can determine when
the motor is up-to-speed, therefore it may transition to
bypass before this time expires. If the motor does not
reach speed before the time expires, the controller will
continue under SCR control and not close the bypass
contactor.
150% / 15% OFF OFF
250% / 25% ON OFF
350% / 35% OFF ON
450% / 65% ON ON
SOFT START TIME
SETTING (SECONDS) DIP SWITCH # 6 DIP SWITCH # 7 Soft Stop reduces the voltage applied to the motor over
the programmed period of time. The soft stop is
complete when the soft stop timer has expired or the
current measured drops below 50% of the FLA setting.
OFF OFF OFF
1 X START TIME ON OFF
2 X START TIME OFF ON
3 X START TIME ON ON
PHASE ROTATION
SETTING DIP SWITCH # 9 The allowable phase rotation of the motor is defined by this switch.
ABC ROTATION OFF
CBA ROTATION ON
PHASE IMBALANCE
SETTING DIP SWITCH # 10 The controller has the ability to monitor for imbalance between phase
currents. This protection feature can be user disabled.
ENABLED OFF
DISABLED ON
OVERLOAD TRIP CLASS
SETTING DIP SWITCH # 11 DIP SWITCH # 12 The controller incorporates, as standard, electronic
overload protection. This motor overload protection is
accomplished electronically with the use of internal
current transformers on each of the three phases. The
controllers overload protection is programmable,
providing the user with flexibility.
OFF OFF OFF
10 ON OFF
15 OFF ON
20 ON ON

OVERLOAD RESET
SETTING DIP SWITCH # 13 In manual reset mode, the fault can only be reset by pushing the push to
reset button on the front of the controller. In auto reset mode, the unit will
automatically reset when unit determines the motor has cooled to 75% of
its thermal capacity.
MANUAL OFF
AUTO ON
AUX#1 SETTING
SETTING DIP SWITCH # 14 The operation defines the operation of the Auxiliary contacts. Normal
mode means that the contact will change state immediately when a
start/run command is given. Up-to-Speed mode means that the contact
will change state only when the controller is in bypass. Aux#2 when
added will operate opposite of this programming.
NORMAL OFF
UP TO SPEED ON
MOTOR CONNECTION TYPE
SETTING DIP SWITCH # 15 In DELTA connection mode, the device is designed to control a 6 or 12
lead motor. In LINE connection mode, the device is designed to control a
3 or 9 lead motor.
DELTA OFF
LINE ON
STOP DELAY
SETTING DIP SWITCH # 16 When the delay is programmed, the motor will continue to run for the
programmed period of time after the run command is removed from the
controller.
