Operating Manual - Elevator Door Operation AT18
2 Introduction
The comfort elevator door driver AT18 is an “intelligent” door driver with which cabin and shaft
doors can be operated with adjustable speed and acceleration settings. The maintenance-free
power unit consists of a DC-motor with non-self-locking gears and is operated speed-controlled. The
power transmission takes place with a timing chain. The timing chain is fed through an overhead
pulley and can be equipped with two door clutch holders. With it both one-sided and doors opening
in the centre can be powered.
The AT18 is supplied with the following motors:
M2 – 24V /1.8A – Motor for a maximum of 120 kg total door panel weight
M3 – 30V /4.0A – motor for a maximum of 180 kg total door panel weight
The door actuator can be ordered with drive pinions mounted differently (left or right, see drawing
in attachment).
No end switch is needed for the operation of the door actuator.
The door width as well as the positions “OPEN” and “CLOSE” are determined automatically.
A display of the current operating statuses takes place via a 7-segment display (H5000) in the
control unit.
In the attachment all important scale drawings, an assembly suggestion and the identication
numbers for the order of the individual drive components can be found.

6 Functions and equipment reactions
6.1 Teach-in and test drive
By pushing of the button “DOOR PARAM” (S5000) the automatic determination has taken place:
1. Recognition of the motor type.
2. Recognition of the direction of the door movement and of the “CLOSE” position.
3. Determination of the friction values of the door system and of the door weight.
4. Determination of the door width and of the “OPEN” position. Closing of the door until the
determined door width has been travelled through and the “CLOSE” position has been reached.
There the storing of the parameter, lasting 3 seconds, takes place.
6.2 “DOOR OPEN” instruction
At the “DOOR OPEN” instruction the door opens according to the set movement cycle, as long as the
instruction remains.
The transitions of the movement cycle (e.g. from acceleration to a steady condition) are chamfered
to avoid noises, which could result from the play between the cabin and shaft door. The door
reaches the “OPEN” position at creep speed. Thereafter the door is kept open with reduced torque at
the “DOOR OPEN” instruction in queue.
– The “DOOR OPEN” instruction must stay in queue during the complete opening movement.
– The “DOOR OPEN” instruction must stay in queue continuously if a permanent
torque is pending.
– The “DOOR OPEN” instruction has priority over all other control instructions.
6.3 “DOOR CLOSE” instruction
For the closing of the door the “DOOR CLOSE” instruction should remain in queue continuously.
After closing the door is held closed with reduced torque for as long as the “DOOR CLOSE”
instruction is in queue.
6.4 Service buttons
With the service buttons “OPEN” (S5001) and “CLOSE” (S5002) the door can be opened and closed
by the control unit. By pushing this button the controls receive the “DOOR OPEN”, or “DOOR CLOSE”,
instruction in addition to the input signals in queue to X6.
6.5 Parameter setting
The AT18 terminal module (option), the user terminal HT18 or the AT Frontend PC offers additional
conguration and diagnosis possibilities.
The terminal module is integrated in the housing of the AT18 control unit and can be ordered
together or can also be tted afterwards.
The user terminal HT18 is as additional option separately obtainable.
It is connected to X8 of the control unit.
A possibly available user terminal of type HT 5 can also be used.
The Frontend PC offers the most comfortable diagnosis possibility.
Hereto a PC can be connected to X8 of the control unit via the USB adapter
(accessory AT Frontend PC).

NOTICE
The current parameter is overwritten by the factory parameter at the end of the teach-in drive,
exactly when the door parameter button (S5000) is pushed at the application of the mains power. If
the door parameter button is pushed during running operation, then only a door width and weight
determination take place. The movement cycle parameter, force margins and permanent torque
remain as is. The maximum closing speed, as well as the nudge speed, is limited depending on the
determined weight.
6.6 Blockage recognition “CLOSE”
If the door is blocked in the “CLOSE” direction at a “DOOR CLOSE” instruction in queue, it stops
and reverses. After reaching the open position the door closes again with normal speed up to
approximately 2cm in front of the obstacle. Subsequently it moves with reduced speed (initial
speed) against the obstacle and reverses again.
This action is repeated continuously for as long as the obstacle remains. After removing the obstacle
the door moves with reduced speed approximately 2cm past the stored position of the obstacle and
then continues the rest of the way at normal closing speed.
6.7 Blockage recognition “OPEN”
If the door is blocked in the “OPEN” direction at a “DOOR OPEN” instruction, it stops. After
approximately 2s the door tries automatically to reach the opening position.
This action is repeated maximally 3 times.
The door then remains in this position.
If the “DOOR OPEN” instruction is cancelled, the closing instruction given in the meantime, and
then the “DOOR OPEN” instruction is given again, the door will move at normal speed up to
approximately 2 cm in front of the stored position of the obstacle and subsequently with reduced
speed against the obstacle.
Here the door actuator stops and repeats the opening controls 3 times. If the obstacle is removed
beforehand, then the door moves with reduced speed approximately 2 cm past the stored blockage
position and resumes to the opening position at normal speed.
6.8 Restart after power failure
After a mains power failure the nal positions of the door must be newly determined from the door
controls.
For that purpose the door moves for so long at a reduced speed (initial speed) until the two nal
positions “Open” and “Close” have been recognised by the controls.

Operating Manual - Elevator Door Operation AT18
6.9 Closing force
The closing force can be set for motor 2 (24V/1.8A, up to 120 kg door weight) at between 70 and
120N, or for motor 3 (30V/4A, up to 180 kg door weight) at between 70 and 230 N. At exceeding
of 150N a warning message appears on the LCD display of the terminal module (option). The values
mentioned refers to one-sided opening doors: a load cell will display only half the value at doors
opening in the middle.
WARNING
At the setting of the closing force it is imperative that a possibly effective closing weight is taken
into account. Per 1kg counterweight the closing force must be reduced by 10N.
This concerns the: - Closing force “CLOSE”
- Closing force “Cutter distance CLOSE”
- Nudge force “CLOSE”
Example: Closing weight = 4 kg
Desired static force margin “CLOSE” = 150 N
The counterweight of 4 kg represents a force of 40 N. The force margin to be set must then amount
to 150N – 40 N = 110 N.
The factory setting is designed in such a way that a counterweight of 3 kg for motor 2 (24V/1.8A),
or 6kg for motor 3 (30V/4A), was taken into account. That means that the resulting static closing
force is limited to 120 N, or 90 N.
6.10 Emergency rescue
WARNING
An emergency rescue can only be effected if:
- neither a “DOOR OPEN” nor a “DOOR CLOSED” instruction is in queue
- he service button has not been pushed
- the user terminal or AT Frontend PC does not show the menu item quick
adjustment or overall adjustment (including sub-menus).
- the door has come to a standstill
Only in these cases the door actuator is torque-free. The necessary force to open
the door according to TRA and EN81 stipulations lies below 300N.
6.11 Nudge
Reversing does not take place in the operating status “NUDGE”. The “DOOR CLOSE” and “NUDGE”
instructions must be in queue at the same time. At the recognition of an obstacle the torque is
taken back to 1 second on the marginal keeping shut torque of the motor.
6.12 Light barrier
The input for the light barrier signal has the same function as the “DOOR OPEN” instruction.
Exception: if the door is opened at less than 1 cm, the light barrier signal is ignored.
If no power is available at the light barrier input, this is interpreted as an interruption of the light
barrier.
The door can then not close.
At an interrupted light barrier the door opens. If a “DOOR CLOSE” instruction is in queue at the same
time, the door only moves in the “OPEN” direction for as long as the light beam is interrupted.

Operating Manual - Elevator Door Operation AT18

6.13 Emergency power supply (optional)
In case of a mains power supply a battery or rechargeable battery (e.g. lead-acid rechargeable
battery) can be connected to the external emergency power module (option) and thereby make
emergency operation possible.
The door can be opened and closed in this condition, the light barrier input is utilised. The travel
speed over the total travelling distance is thereby reduced to the values stored in the prole
parameters for the cutter speeds “OPEN” and “CLOSE”.
When the mains power supply is available again, the control unit automatically switches back to
normal operation in the nal setting of the door (OPEN or CLOSE).
CAREFUL
The circuit breaker for the emergency power supply to be installed onsite must have the delayed-
action value of 6A.
6.14 Overload protection
If the door actuator is heavily subjected to regular ‘DOOR OPEN” and “DOOR CLOSE” instructions
following closely upon each other, then an increase of the holding open time automatically kicks in.
The next closing movement is

7 Mechanical assembly and conguration
CAREFUL
Safe operation of the elevator door actuator requires that it is properly assembled and put into
operation by qualied staff, with due attention to the warning notices of this operating manual.
Before all work on the door actuator it is to be ensured that the controls are without power.
Only then is an immobility of the door guaranteed. The mechanical assembly and setting of the
elevator door actuator takes place in the following steps:
1. Mount the motor on the motor mounting (rubber-bonded metal/vibration shock
mount). Thereafter the motor is mounted on the mounting bracket if necessary.
2. Mount the overhead pulley, if necessary with mounting bracket. Make sure of the
alignment of the drive pinion and the overhead pulley; these should be aligned with
each other as precisely as possible.
3. Bolt the timing chain and the door clutch holder together and set it up.
NOTICE
Use the door clutch holder (timing chain lock) as described in the attachment exclusively! Through
an improper fastening a notch effect can be effected on the timing chain, which can lead to the
destruction of the timing chain! The door clutch holder (timing chain lock) may not run through the
pinion drive or the overhead pulley!
4. Tighten the timing chain with the aid of the tensioning device. The correct
tension is achieved when the timing chain can be pushed in by approximately 3 cm
per every meter distance in the middle between the drive pinion and the overhead
pulley.
5. Mount the control unit close to the drive motor
(take length of cable into account).
6. Mount the transformer close to the control unit
(take length of cable into account).
CAREFUL
In case of a fault or a short circuit of the outlet cable of the transformer the housing temperature
can rise to above 105° C.
Because of this the transformer may only be mounted on surfaces, where no danger of combustion
exists and touching by unauthorised persons is not possible.
The service staff should be notied of this fact.

8 Electrical conguration and putting into operation
WARNING
When in use parts of electrical devices inevitably are subject to dangerous voltage currents.
Non-observance of the operating instructions can therefore lead to severe bodily harm or damage
to property.
It is imperative that the warning notices should be observed.
During the putting into operation of the controls (especially at the automatic parameter
determination) the door movement cannot always be inuenced from outside. The light barrier is
not active during the teach-in drive.
It should therefore be ensured by an authorised person, who stands at the door, that no other
person comes near the elevator door during the putting into operation. The acceptable forces and
energies on the complete system (elevator) should be tested by service staff after the putting into
operation of the elevator door.
NOTICE
At the parameter teach-in drive the motor temperature may not lie below 0° C, otherwise the value
of the door weight is determined incorrectly and the closing speed and nudge speed can be in a
range not allowed.
1. Push door in “CLOSE” position.
2. Open housing lid.
3. Plug in motor plug X7.
NOTICE
So that no uncontrolled trips are started during the putting into operation, the plug X6 for the
control inlets is not plugged in.
4. Connect mains current transformer with mains (230V AC). The onsite circuit breaker may
amount to a maximum of 10A.
5. Press the red “DOOR PARAM” button (S5000) and keep pushed in.
6. Connect outlet of mains current transformer to X3.
7. Press red “DOOR PARAM” button (S5000) so long
until the 7-segment display (H5000) displays “_”.
8. After a short pressing of the “OPEN” (S5001) or “CLOSE” button (S5002) the teach-in trip is
started. The 7-segment display (H5000) displays “H”.
The teach-in trip includes an approximately 10 cm wide opening and closing at creep speed
once or twice.
Subsequently an opening and closing once over 25 cm at creep speed follows for the ..
determination of the friction of the door system.
Thereafter the door opens and closes at reduced speed (complete trip). Herewith a short
additional acceleration incline is passed
through at the opening after an approximately 10 cm trip to determine the door weight.
The door parameter and the detected door width are stored in the “CLOSE” position.
The 7-segment display (H5000) displays “u”.
9. The door can now be opened with the “OPEN” button (S5001).
The 7-segment display (H5000) displays “o” during the opening.
10. Switch off control by pulling of the mains plug or of plug X3.

14
Operating Manual - Elevator Door Operation AT18
11. Connect control signals to plug X6 as in the terminal circuit diagram (see attachment 9).
12. Connect the light barrier to X6 (see terminal circuit diagram in attachment).
Insofar as the light barrier input is not used, X6 must be wired to X4 according to the lines on
the connection layout.
13. Plug in clip plugs X6 and X4.
CAREFUL
The control is operative after the next switch-on. At a presented control signal the door moves into
the specied direction.
14. Switch control on (plug in mains current plug, or plug X3).
The four LEDs next to the plug-in connector X3 indicate which control signal is active at the
time. Thereby the LED for the light barrier should glow continuously, if there is no obstacle in
the movement area of the door.
15. At a presented control signal “CLOSE” the door closes with the initial speed in the “CLOSE”
position. At a presented control signal “OPEN” the door opens with the initial speed in the
“OPEN” position.
16. If the control has recognized the nal door positions “OPEN” and “CLOSE”, the subsequent
opening and closing movements are performed at normal speed.
WARNING
The service staff should test the acceptable energies and forces after the putting into operation
of the elevator door on the heaviest door in the complete system (elevator) and to adjust it to the
critical limits in case of an exceeding of the values.
Gear reduction, or transmissions to the timing chains are not allowed, because the kinetic energies
or static forces on the door can be changed thereby.
The door width is then no longer valid.
NOTICE
The activation of the door movement in the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” direction can also take place with the
service button S5001 (OPEN) and S5002 (CLOSE).
These buttons lie parallel to the OPEN and CLOSE signals, which are positioned at X6.
To reach the nal position of the door, the respective button must be pushed continuously,
otherwise the door is stopped.
At a pressing of the “OPEN” and “CLOSE” buttons at the same time, or positioning of the “OPEN” and
“CLOSE” signals at the same time, the door always moves in the “OPEN” direction.
By using the user terminal or the AT Frontend PC the external input signals are blocked in some
menus.
The storing of the learned parameters are taken over in the “CLOSE” position exclusively.
17. For special applications the movement values can be specically adapted to the door.
However, for that the terminal module (option) must be installed or the user terminal HT18
(HT_5) must be connected.
Instead of the user terminal a PC can also be connected via a USB adapter, which can be
obtained as special accessory, on which the operating program (AT Frontend) has been
started. The operation is described in the instructions in the attachment.

WARNING
The service staff should test the acceptable energies and forces after the putting into operation
of the elevator door on the heaviest door in the complete system (elevator) and to adjust it to the
critical limits in case of an exceeding of the values.
NOTICE
The determined optimal settings of the parameters can be noted in the conguration record (see
congurations record attachment). This record should also be kept handy at questions to the
hotline.

9 The Relay Contacts (Option)
The relay contacts are situated on the relay module (option) and can be utilised to report the
following door statuses to the elevator control of a higher order:
– X11
The door has reached the “CLOSE” position. The relay switches on when the controls recognised
the “CLOSE” position and the pulse generator gives no impulse any more, in other words the door
stands still. Pin 3 is then connected to Pin 1 until the “DOOR OPEN” instruction is given. The relay
then drops again immediately and Pin 3 is connected to Pin 2 again.
– X12
The door reverses.
The relay switches on when the door reverses due to a blockage, a light barrier interruption or
an opening instruction for example. Pin 1 is then connected to Pin 3 until the “OPEN” position is
reached.
– X13
The door has reached the “OPEN” position. The relay switches on when the current distance of the
door to the “OPEN” position is less than 2 cm. Pin 1 and Pin 3 are then connected.
If the distance of 2 cm is exceeded again the relay drops immediately and Pin 3 is connected to Pin
2 again.
In the “Overview of the Operating Elements” the contacts are always presented in the (inactive)
status of the relay without power. In addition the active status is displayed with an LED on the
switching relay.
WARNING
The door control unit is not a safety mechanism. The relay contacts may therefore not be used for
the safety circuit of the elevator.
When the housing lid is opened only low safety voltage (voltage lower than 42V) may be present.
At a connection of higher voltage (maximum 30V AC) to the relay module the protective cover
provided for it must be used. Thereby the following has to be observed:
Connected wires must be suitable for the voltage in use and have an appropriate insulation (double
or reinforced insulation). Recommended are cables with a circumference of 6mm to 7mm. Inside
the cover the single-insulated single wires must be removed a minimum of 5mm from the cable end
and be connected as short as possible to the clip plugs X11 (“CLOSE” signal) and
X13 (“OPEN” signal).
The wires must be secured inside the plastic cover against pulling out. A cable tie, which has been
pulled tightly around the cable, prevents the cable from being pulled through the oval opening
of the relay cover (see photo 2). The cable tie must be applied in such a way that a minimum of
5mm of the outer cable jacket is inside the protective cover. Components of the controls and the
connecting cable, such as the motor plug and its wires may only come in contact with the additional
(or reinforced) insulation of the current-carrying wires.
Currents from different networks (e.g. 24V and 230V) may NOT be connected to the relay module.

At the connection of low safety voltage to the relay module (voltage lower than 42V) the protective
cover can be done away with.

10 The movement cycle
Illustration 2
Reverse incline OPEN_CLOSE = reversing of movement from OPEN direction to CLOSE direction.
Reverse incline CLOSE_OPEN = reversing of movement from CLOSE direction to OPEN direction.
At reversing from open to close direction the door is slowed down with the reverse incline OPEN_
CLOSE and starts the closing movement with the acceleration incline CLOSE.
