18.4.5 Slowdown Distance
The slowdown distance is the distance in which the car transitions from high speed to leveling
speed in the up or down direction. If adjusting the Slowdown Distance when weights are added
to the car, see section 18.4.10
Monitoring Adaptive Slowdown™ system (U.S. Patent Pending)
The actual slowdown average distances can be monitored by navigating to MAIN MENU |
DEBUG | VIEW DEBUG DATA |, Indexes 070 (UP) and 071 (DN).
These displays are updates at the end of each run. The Up distance average appear under
index 070. The Down distance average appear under index 071.
These distances will increase after TSRD or NTS events.
NOTE: If the distances are not stable, the car may be experiencing NTS alarms at the
terminal landings. Check the Leveling Time distances (Section 7). If the average distances
on the Debug Data screens drop too far below the Leveling Time distances, the system may
trigger NTS alarms. To correct this either decrease the Leveling Time setting (Section 7) or
increase the NTS timeout at MAIN MENU | SAFETY | NTS ODL.
18.4.6 Slowdown Distance After Adjustments
The following procedure describes how to set the slowdown distance.
Navigate to MAIN MENU | SETUP | HYDRO. See Figure 60.
