If adjusting the car for a different threshold with weights added and the car is overshooting or
the leveling time is greater than the empty car, increase or decrease the slowdown distance.
There are seven speed thresholds and slowdown distances. Select the correct speed threshold
to adjust so the speed of the car matches high speed.
12.1 Car Overshooting
The slowdown distance is dependent upon the speed of the car. As more weight is added to the
car, the speed and the slow down time of the car may decrease. If the car overshoots, the slow
down distance needs to increase to give the car more time to slow down. If the valves are
regulated, the speed of the car may not change.
Note: Adjustments made on Slowdown Distance Up and Slowdown Distance Down will not take
affect while Adaptive Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending) is active, refer to the Adaptive
Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending) Procedure.
Navigate to SET UP | HYDRO | SLOWDOWN DISTANCE UP.
Select the slowdown distance for the speed the car is running at. Scroll to find the
correct slowdown distance to adjust.
The high speed of the car must be less than the speed threshold. For example, after
adding weights the high speed of the car is 100 fpm, select the speed threshold with
speed of 105 fpm.
Increase the slowdown distance up from 2’ 09” to 3’ 02”. Place a car calls in up direction
and see if the car still overshoots the floor. Repeat these steps , if the car still overshoots
the floor.
