Figure-5: UPS connections
***If there is SERVOSAN brand UPS inside the control panel these connections are not used.
***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 not run control panel.
3. Preparations for Auto-tune
Auto-tune process must be performed by ADrive before initial set-up of an elevator. In this way ADrive learns characteristic of
motor. During the Auto-tune the elevator must be operated manually, therefore the recall command has to be provided. For recall
operation make the following connections.
•Connect the mains power of the control panel (L1, L2, L3, N, PE)
•Bridge the safety circuit by the terminals in control panel shown below.
Control Panel Terminals
Figure-6: Bridging of safety chain
•Bridge the signals of top and bottom limit switches (817 and 818) to terminal 100 on KBK-12&13 connection board
shown below.
KBK-12&13
Figure- 7a: bridging of top and bottom limit switches
•Bridge the car top (869) and pit (868) inspection signals to terminal 100 on KBK-12&13 connection board shown below.
KBK-12&13
Figure-7b: bridging of car top and pit inspection signals

Figure- 8a: KBK12&13 board
•KBK12&13 connection board is used for all required connections for shaft. That board includes supply and inputs of
all safety chain, car CANBus input/output, and car connections. If you prefer pre-wired connections, all connector
connections are sign with labels on flex cables.
Figure- 8b: AREM hand terminal
•ARL-700 can be programmed with two ways. It can be
programmed either internal keypad onto ARL-700 or
AREM hand terminal.
•AREM hand terminal can be connected to CANBus line
which is located in shaft LOP, COP or control panel.
The programming can be done with keypad in case
AREM is not exist.
•AREM will run automatically when it is connected
CANBus line. It can be connected to KXCBA board or
any CANBus access point. For first installation ARL-
700 software must be updated by AREM. (See
“Software Update”).

•Activate the manual operation mode by turning the recall switch on the recall hand terminal to “Insp” position. In this
case the motor can be moved by recall buttons from the control panel.
Figure-8d: Recall hand terminal
•Turn on the SMP switch after all fuses is turned on.
•When the system is first energized, the screen of ARL-
700 that shown on Figure. 9a is displayed.
Figure- 9a first energised screen of ARL-700
•For the parameter changes that will be explained, you
must enter the advanced menu. To do this, press the Up-
Down-Red (ESC) button together. Select “Advanced”
from the appearing screen by pressing ENT button. The
advanced menu is activated.
•Press “ENT” button onto the ARL-700 keypad to enter
the ARL-700 menu.
•Password screen will be displayed. If no password is
entered, the factory setting is "000000".
•Press the "ENT" button again.
Figure-9b: Entering Menu
•“BASIC SETTINGS” menu is displayed after “ENT”
button is pressed.
Figure-9c: “BASIC SETTINGS”
•In order of, arrange the “NUMBER OF FLOORS”, arrange the “OPERATION MODE” to “INSTALLATION
MODE”. “DRIVER TYPE” parameter should be arranged to “VVVF(ADrive)”. If you use another brand inverter,
this parameter should be arranged to “VVVF(Other)”.
Note: HSR Board should be used in case of using hydraulic lift or another brand inverter.
•If there is a motor encoder in the system, shaft learning feature can be used. And the parameter “SHAFT READ SYTM”
should be arranged to “motor encoder”. If there is no motor encoder, it should be arranged to “ML1- ML2 magnet”.
•Before starting autotuning procedure, the motor brake monitoring parameter should be disabled to avoid encountering
brake monitoring error if the motor has brake microswitches and they were connected. The brake monitoring parameter
should be enabled after autotuning is complated. If there are no brake micro switches, the following steps are skipped.
•Please come to “PROTECT&MONITORING” screen
under the parameter menu.
•It can be arranged to “off” with coming The “BRAKE
MONITORING” screen.

4. ADrive settings and Auto-tuning process
•The machine plate information should be entered to ADrive parameters before starting auto-tuing process. The machine
plate informations are entered by following below steps.
4.1. The Parameters For Asynchronous (Geared) Machines
4.2. Auto-Tune Process For Asynchronous (Geared) Machines
•The pulse of the incremental encoder per revolution
is entered to this parameter. If the system is usedin
open loop, there is no need to enter a value.
•Main line voltage is 380V at factory settings.
•Go to 2-MOTOR SETUP parameter.
•Arrange the MOTOR TYPE to induction.
•Nom. Motor speed is arranged acc to suspension
ratio.E.g. if motor speed is 2.00 m/s with 2:1
suspension ratio; It should be arranged to VN: 1.00
m/s
•Motor rpm value is entered acc to motor plate.
•Voltage that must be applied to motor for full
speed. This value is specified on the motor plate
by the motor manufacturer.
•Nominal current of the motor. This value is
specified
•Nominal frequency of the motor. This value is
specified on
the motor plate by the motor
manufacturer.
•Usually there is no rotor slip frequency
information on the motor plate. It should be
calculated with formula. You can find the info you
needed in the ADrive manual. If the system is used
in open loop, there is no need to enter a value.

ARL-700 Quick Installation Guide V1.22
•6- CONTROL TYPE should be arranged to open loop with the parameter 6.1- CONTROL TYPE CT: OPEN LOOP. If
there is an encoder in the system, it should be arranged to CT: CLOSED LOOP after autotune process is complated
with motor first running.
•9.1-AUTO TUNE parameter should be arranged to “ENABLED” and go to main screen with “ESC” button.
•Vout message specifies the lift is in open loop. Then the lift is taken to recall mode with hand terminal. Press and hold
the up or down button until the autotune procedure is completed. The lift is moved in recall mode after the autotune is
complated. It is checked that when the up button is pressed, the car goes up or when the down button is pressed, the car
goes down. If the car moves to the opposite direction, it should be corrected with reversing motor direction with the
parameter 2.17 MOTOR DIRECTION.
•The system is arranged to the closed loop after checking the car goes to the correct direction in open loop. (6.1
CONTROL TYPE: CLOSED LOOP). The motor turning is observed in recall mode again. 2.18 ENCODER
DIRECTION parameter is arranged with inverse if the motor turns too slow or draws too much current from nominal
current in both direction (up&down). If the direction of the encoder is reverse, ADrive may give overcurrent or low
speed errors other than drawing over current. The necessary connection should be made with disconnection below
bridges after mechanical installation.
•Remove the brdiging made between 110-140 terminals at the safety. (See Figure-6)
•Remove the bridging made for the up and down forced deceleration switches 817 and 818. (See Figure-7a)
4.3. The Parameters For Synchronous (Gearless) Machines
•Nom. Motor speed is arranged acc to suspension
ratio. E.g. if motor speed is 2.00 m/s with 2:1
suspension ratio; It is arranged to VN: 1.00 m/s.
•Motor rpm value is entered acc to motor plate.
•Go to 2-MOTOR SETUP parameter.
•MOTOR TYPE is arranged to synchronous.
•Main line voltage is 380V at factory settings.
•Voltage that must be applied to motor for full speed.
This value is specified on the motor plate by the
motor manufacturer.
