8 Adaptive Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending)
The following feature operates on top of the Hydro Evolved Setup Slowdown Distance
instructions. When active, the Adaptive Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending) monitors the
operation of each run. After each run, the software adjusts a reference slowdown distance
variable based on previous runs so that subsequent runs result in leveling times closer to the
target Leveling Time selected. Run-to-run variances in elevator operations will not have a
significant effect on the reference slowdown distance.
8.1 Procedure
Complete the following steps after successfully setting the adjusted slow down distance:
Measure the Leveling Time from when the car reaches the level speed until the car
stops. The measured Leveling Time will be used as the base line for the Target Time
used on step 2.
Navigate to MAIN MENU | SETUP | HYDRO | ADAPTIVE SLOWDOWN™ SYSTEM (U.S.
PATENT PENDING) | LEVELING TARGET |, set the Target Time to the measured time on
step 1 then select save.
Navigate to MAIN MENU | SETUP | HYDRO | ADAPTIVE SLOWDOWN™ SYSTEM (U.S.
PATENT PENDING) |ENABLE SLOWDOWN |, set to ON.
Allow the car to run from Floor to Floor for 2 full cycles to adjust the slowdown distance.
It is recommended to run the car empty during the first 2 cycles to allow the car to
measure the slowdown distance accurately.
Note: Turning off Adaptive Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending) will reset all the
slowdown distance learned and will cause the car to operate based on the settings on
Hydro Speed Setup.
