If you do not have UPS, you must bridge connectors U-
LI with U-LO and U-NI with U-NO using with suitable
cables. Otherwise you can’t run the system.
* For BL1-BL2, look at your distribution panel.

3. Menu
When the system is energized, ARCUBE screen on the
motor driver will be displayed. In order to enter the menu
YELLOW button “ENT”, to exit from the menu RED
button “ESC”are used. You can scroll through
parameters with “UP”, “DOWN” buttons. As you are on
the parameter you wanted to enter inside, after pressing
“ENT” button, you can go to the different values and
options in the parameter by using “UP”, “DOWN”
buttons.
Figure 3 Menu
4. Auto Tuning
Before the lift is run, auto tuning process must be
performed. The characteristic of motor is learned during
the auto tuning process. Since the auto tuning is
performed with hand terminal, recall hand terminal key
should be activated. ARCUBE unit should be energized
for performing of auto tuning.
➢Connect the mains supply of unit. (L1, L2, L3, N,
PE)
4.1 Auto Tuning Preparation
While performing autotune, the required bridging will be
different depending on if car top and pit inspection is
connected in the system or not. Therefore, it is so
important to choose the correct parameter from the menu.
“OPERATION MODE”parameter under “QUICK
INSTALLATION”must be definitely set correctly.
4.1.1 Car top and pit inspection not connected
In the first installation, if the auto tuning is performed as
“car top and pit inspection not connected”, from the
parameter;
“OPERATION MODE”“INSTALLATION MODE”
“WITHOUT INSPECT BOX”
must be chosen. In the case of wrong choice, Arcube
would not communicate with Fx-Cube board and raise an
error. The required safety circuit bridging must be as
shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 Required bridging when the car top and pit
inspection not connected
4.1.2 Car top and pit inspection connected
If the auto tuning is performed as “car top and pit
inspection connected”, from the parameter;
“OPERATION MODE”“INSTALLATION MODE”
“WITH INSPECTION BOX”
must be chosen. The choice of this parameter is
important. If it is set wrongly, 817, 818, 868 and 869
signals will be ignored by ARCUBE. The required safety
circuit bridging must be as shown in Figure 5.
There must not be bridge between 119B-120 and 111-
113. In this step, if it is assumed that the doors are not
mounted, only the doors (120-130-135-140) will be
bridged.

Figure 5 Required bridging when the car top and pit
inspection connected
The bridging should be only done during the first
installation. After the car top and pit inspection
terminals are connected, the bridges must be
removed!
4.2 Auto Tuning Parameter Settings
Take the lift to recall mode by switching the recall key
(SEE) to “1” position in the recall terminal located in the
control panel. In this step, the motor can be moved by up
and down buttons (SEEU, SEED).
Figure 6 Recall terminal
After making the system prepared to auto tuning, the
required parametric settings must be done on LCD
screen.
Turn on all the fuses on ARCUBE, then turn on “SMP”
switch over the distribution panel.
After the screen is displayed, press “ENT”button in
order to enter the menu. When you see “QUICK
INSTALLATION”screen, press “ENT” button one
more time and set the parameters as shown below step by
step according to your system.
4.2.1 Operation mode
This should be chosen correctly depending on if the car
top and pit inspection terminal is connected or not.
4.2.2 Motor type
Motor type must be chosen correctly as asynchronous or
synchronous.
4.2.3 Motor control type
Motor control type must be chosen correctly as open
loop or closed loop.
*Only closed loop option exists for the synchronous
motors.

4.2.4 Nominal car speed
This is the speed value what motor label shows.
4.2.5 Motor rpm
Motor revolution per minute (rpm) value must be entered
correctly as shown in the motor label.
4.2.6 Motor frequency
Motor frequency value must be entered correctly as
shown in the motor label.
4.2.7 Motor current
Motor current value must be entered correctly as shown
in the motor label.
4.2.8 Motor voltage
Motor voltage value must be entered correctly as shown
in the motor label.
4.2.9 Motor direction
This parameter can be changed after completing auto
tuning if the direction of move is wrong.
4.2.10 High speed [Vmax]
This is the parameter which sets the max. speed the car
moves. The value of this parameter should be maximum
what the nominal motor speed is.
4.2.11 Shaft position system
Shaft positioning system must be entered here correctly.
4.2.12 Number of floors
The floor number of the system must be entered here
correctly.

ARCUBE Quick Installation Guide
Version : V1.01
4.2.13 Start auto-tune
ARCUBE can perform auto tuning both with ropes and
without ropes. “START AUTO-TUNE”parameter
must be entered correctly.
Save the parameters and exit by pressing “ESC”button.
4.3 Performing Auto Tuning
After completing the above steps, exit by pressing
“ESC”button. After the changes are being saved, it turns
back to main menu and the below screen is come across.
Take the “SEE” key on ARCUBE to “1” position and
keep pressing up or down recall buttons until “MOTOR
TUNE SUCCEED”screen is seen. After you see this
message, save the values by pressing “ENT”button.
Then, try to move the car a little.
If the motor turns in a wrong direction when you press
down or up buttons: find “2.5: MOTOR DIRECTION”
parameter under “2-BASIC SETTINGS”title and
change the parameter. If it is chosen as “clockwise”,
choose “counter-clockwise”. If it is chosen as “counter-
clockwise”, choose “clockwise”.
If the car moves correctly in the recall mode, you can go
on the following steps.
Remove all the bridges between 110-140 terminals
in the safety circuit.
After this step, after car top and pit inspection
terminal mounting are completed, the parameters
must be corrected. The bridges must be removed.
After the magnetic switches and magnets are
mounted, the parameters must be corrected. The
bridges must be removed. Otherwise, the priority of
the person in the pit according to the person on the
car top, and the priority of the person on the car top
according to the person on the control panel will be
disappeared.
5. Preparations for Normal Operation
Make all the other mechanical installations of elevator
system.
Make the inspection box wiring, pit box wiring and safety
circuit wirings.
Up and down deceleration distance magnets should be
put 2 m away from the top and bottom door zone magnet
levels.
Make the installation of round magnets for SKSR1
magnetic switch 2 m away from bottom floor door zone
magnet level. Connect the cables of SKSR1 magnetic
switch to 100 and 817 terminals located on Fx-Cube
board.
Move the car to the bottom floor.
Car must be exactly at the bottom floor level.
Install round magnet with red color side above the
SKSR1 magnetic switch as deceleration distance.
Install the round magnet with black color side a little
above the red color magnet.
The distance between magnetic switch and magnets must
be 1-2 cm.
