Chapter 1: Introduction
is manual provides and overview of the installation, set-up, and typical operation of the
Sprecher + Schuh hydraulic elevator and escalator starter. is solid state starter solution is
designed to operate 3 phase standard squirrel cage induction motors and can be connected
to a 6 or 12 lead Wye-Delta or standard 3 or 9 lead motors. rough the use of LINE or
INSIDE-THE-DELTA control, the solid state solution can provide ultimate control of the
motor. e advantages of a solid state solution include the following:
 Provides smooth motor starting
 Reduced current surges on weak electrical systems
 Reduced starting torque of the motor helps to reduce mechanical stress on system
components
 Helps meet both local and regional electrical codes when reduced voltage starting is a
requirement
 e elimination of the voltage and current spikes associated with traditional Wye-Delta
starters
 Maximize the life of the motor with reduced electrical strain
 Reduces general system maintenance requirements for improved uptime
Introduction

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1:2
e starter is made up of two components, the base controller and a fault contactor.
e base controller is a standard product that uses a number of intelligent features to provide
advanced motor control and simple diagnostics. e controller consists of the elements
necessary to control the motor, including the main micro processor, current sensing, built
in adjustable overload, solid state power modules, and electro-mechanical bypass contacts.
rough the use of simple dip switch conguration, the product can be congured for a
variety of modes. e default conguration uses the built in current sensing to limit current
to the motor during starting. Once up to speed the controller transitions to the run mode
by transitioning to internal bypass contactors and changing the state of the aux contact. e
internal bypass contactor provides decreased heating during run and removes the SCR’s from
the circuit
e fault contactor is controlled through the fault contact of the controller. When control
power is applied to the controller, the normally open fault contact closes and applies control
power to the coil of the contactor. e fault contact will open removing power from the fault
contactor, and thus disabling the motor during any one of the following events:
 Power is removed from the controller
 e motor has developed a problem including overloading due to mechanical or
electrical reasons, ground faults, or motor short circuits.
 If the starter would detect an internal problem such as a shorted SCR or Overtemp
condition

Chapter 1: Introduction
is PCEC elevator panel solution provides both advanced motor control and simple
diagnostics. e following information provides a brief overview of the basic product
features.
Motor Control
Current Limit rough the use of internal current sensors, the PCEC will regulate
the current level applied to the motor over the programmed period of
time. is type of motor control produces a slow start and insures that
the current does not exceed the programmed level. is is standard
conguration of the device and aligns well with traditional applications.
Soft Start During Soft start, the voltage is ramped from an initial set point to full
voltage over the programmed period of time. is type of motor control
produces a smooth start in less time than the current limit setting, however
the current is not restricted.
Soft Stop Soft stop provides the ability to ramp down the voltage applied to the
motor over a programmed period of time. e result is a smooth stop.
Diagnostics
Overload e built in motor overload provides protection of the motor for over
current conditions. is protection feature oers a user selectable
setting called the trip class, which can be used to accommodate dierent
applications and motor types. When the motor draws more than the
nominal value of current for a period of time, the device will fault on a
motor overload fault.
Over Temperature e product includes a built in self monitoring method for detecting a
SCR over-temperature condition. If the internal temperature exceeds a
design threshold the device will fault on a SCR Overtemp fault.
Phase Reversal e user can select the phase relationship of the incoming power. If this
phase relationship changes, the device will fault indicating a problem.
Phase Loss/
Open Load
When any one of the incoming 3 phases are lost, the controller will fault
indicating a phase loss condition has occurred.
Phase Imbalance When enabled, this motor protection feature will detect if a phase
imbalance condition exists and fault the unit. A phase imbalance is dened
as a 65% dierential between the highest and lowest phase for more than
3 seconds.
Shorted SCR Each time the PCEC initiates a start, it checks to see if the SCR’s are
operating correctly. If the controller is unable to properly turn on and o
any one of the SCR’s, the device will fault on a Shorted SCR fault.

Motor FLA must fall within the specified range to operate correctly.
The PCEC Controller panel powerwire jumpers and parameter DIP switch settings are shipped in the DELTA connection mode
by default. LINE connection requires the power wires to be reconfigured and DIP Switch #15 to be programmed for LINE
connection mode by the customer.
Internal fan is optional for PCEC-032…064. See Replacement Parts on page 4:4 to purchase separately. All other PCEC units
have internal fan as standard.
Purchase additional PCE Auxiliary Contact Blocks separately. See Section D of currently published catalog. One Auxiliary
Contact Block (one or two pole) may be mounted on the right side of the PCE controller.
Separate 120V or 240V single phase is required for PCEC fan operation.
The PCEC Hydraulic Elevator duty rating is 80 starts per hour at 50% duty cycle (160 calls per hour). Starts per hour are based
on when the motor starts, the motor only runs on “up” calls. Installing an optional fan (PCV-64) is recommended for PCEC-
032A…064A for maximum starts per hour performance. All other PCEC units have an internal fan as standard.

Chapter 2:1
Chapter 2: Installation
Prior to installation, unpack the starter panel from it’s packaging and perform a complete
visual inspection of panel. Inspect all components including the controller, wiring, and fault
contactor for damage related to shipping and handling. Claims for damage must be made to
the carrier as soon as possible after receipt of the shipment.
e small footprint of the starter makes it ideal for mounting in the same space previously
occupied by legacy solid state starters and traditional Full Voltage starters. e starter panel
does not require mounting requirements beyond the basic footprint of the panel.
e product incorporates a small cooling fan. ere are no additional cooling requirements
for the product; however it is good practice to leave at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) of free space
above and below the unit for ideal air ow.

Chapter 3: Programming
Chapter 3:1
e PCE elevator controller is programmed through dipswitches located on the front of
the controller. All functionality is dened by these settings. e following tables dene the
settings available within the PCE controller. Default settings are indicated by the shaded
areas.
Table 5 - Start Time
Setting
(Seconds)
DIP Switch
#1
DIP Switch
#2
DIP Switch
#8
This defines the time the controller will ramp or limit
current to the motor. The controller can determine
when the motor is ‘up-to-speed’, therefore it may
transition to bypass before this time expires. If the
motor does not reach speed before the time expires,
the controller will continue under SCR control and
not close the bypass contactor.

Table 6 - Start Mode
Mode Setting DIP Switch
#3 In Current Limit mode, a set level of current is applied to the motor
over the start time. In Soft Start mode, the device will ramp the
torque from the initial level to 100% over the start time.
Current Limit OFF
Soft Start ON
Table 7 - Current Limit / Initial Torque Level
%FLA / % Torque DIP Switch
#4
DIP Switch
#5 The level indicated by this programming applies an
initial level of current or torque to the motor for the
start time. For example if switch #3 is set to off,
the device will perform a current limit start at the
level indicated by these switches.

#7 Soft Stop reduces the voltage applied to the motor
over the programmed period of time. The soft stop
is complete when the soft stop timer has expired or
the current measured drops below 50% of the FLA
setting.
