2. INTRODUCTION
SDK-500 is an electronic controller of automatic elevator door. It ensures optimum
operating conditions for doors of up to 400 kg. It was designed to work with drives fitted with
shaft encoders powered with 5V DC, which generate from 150 to 999 pulses per centimetre of
linear door motion.
Device automatically calculates door motion parameters (e.g. speed profile, acceleration and
deceleration points, acceleration values) based on the door physical characteristics (weight
and width) such as to ensure optimum operation of the drive.
Because of large value of allowable input currents, there are new menu options. Beside
parameters corresponding to door weight and door width, it is important to set correct values of
tightening force and reverse force. Incorrect settings (too high) of current value corresponding
to tightening force may cause damage to the motor.
SDK-500 menu allows for setting of the current corresponding to tightening force -
separately for open door and closed door positions. It is also possible to zero the tightening
force while elevator is stopped (menu option: tightening force while {CLOSE INP.} signal – if it
is supported by elevator's main controller).
Once the automatic calibration routine is completed, the calculated settings are stored in
non-volatile memory of the controller. The SDK-500 controls the door drive such as to meet
the requirements of norms regulating the maximum driving force and the maximum kinetic
energy of the door. Thanks to continuous monitoring of the drive parameters the SDK-500 can
detect increasing motion friction of the drive and alert the service person that maintenance is
required.
All important operation information is presented in a clear manner on the built-in, backlit
LCD display.
The SDK-500 ships in a metal housing that ensures protection against mechanical
damage as well as adverse environmental conditions.

3. CONTROLLER INSTAL LATION
WARNING:
• Read the basic safety requirements on page 4 prior to starting the installation.
• Ensure that the power supply network voltage corresponds to the nominal
voltage stated on the unit’s identification label.
• Power supply terminals and other parts posing hazard of electric shock must be
protected from unauthorised access
3.1. INSTALLATION
Install the controller such as to minimize the length of electrical connections between the
controller and the motor / encoder unit. Use the four mounting holes in the base of the
controller housing to secure the device in its mounting position.
Select mounting position for the controller such as to minimize the risk of inadvertent
stepping onto its housing by elevator service personnel, but to ensure easy access to LCD
display and keypad.
3.2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
• It is strictly required to provide good grounding of controller metal housing and
transformer cover, using separate grounding wire to appropriate grounding
terminal.
• Motor and encoder wires must be shielded, and firmly fixed to door mounting
frame in order to avoid mechanical damage to the wiring.
• The ground plane of the controller's electronics is electrically connected to the
housing.
Pay special attention to installation of the mains transformer. It is best to install it within
the housing of the service ride switchboard usually found on top of the car. It is also possible
to power the controller from an external DC power supply having appropriate current rating. If
complete electrical isolation of the controller from the rest of the elevator's control system is
required, use the transformer and use potential-free contacts of relays to drive the control
inputs of the controller (see fig. .5A)
Figure .1 shows all external connectors of SDK-500 controller. Connectors of optical
barrier, relay outputs, control inputs and communication interface of RS-485 are located near
the LCD display and keyboard area.

3.3. POWER SUPPLY
Fig. 3.2. Power supply connection of SDK-5 controller
Main power is supplied by a toroidal transformer - minimum 150VA and nominal output
voltage 24VAC.
•It is necessary to protect the transformer primary winding circuit with a 2A fuse.
•Never use transformers having idle secondary voltage higher than 27 VAC
If door operation is required also during mains failure a 24V battery of minimum 1.2Ah
capacity must be connected externally. Use of two standard 12V batteries connected in series
is possible. An automatic battery charger circuitry is a part of the controller board and is
designed to charge battery with 200 mA current, which is sufficient to keep the battery fully
charged, but will not be able to quickly charge fully discharged batteries. If main power supply
fails then LCD backlight and motor will be switched off and SDK-500 will continue operating on
battery. When the battery voltage drops below certain threshold (19V) the controller will shut
down.
Battery connection is not mandatory and the controller can operate normally without it,
however the battery voltage read-out on the LCD will be displayed incorrectly.

User's manual for elevator door controller SDK-500
The motor should be connected to SDK-500 using shielded 2-wire cable. Make sure that
shield is connected properly to GND at one end only. Leaving shield disconnected may cause
excessive EMC noise. See chapter First power-on on page 29 to check the order of wire
connections.
3.5. ENCODER
A) B)
Fig. 3.4. Encoder connection of SDK-5 controller
The controller is designed to work with motors equipped with 5V quadrature encoders,
generating from 150 to 999 pulses per centimetre of door's linear movement. Typically
encoder cables are terminated with a Canon DB-9 connector. The SDK-500 has a DB-9 socket
on board in order to facilitate fast and convenient installation. (Figure .4 A).
CAUTION! Make sure that encoder signal pins match SDK-500 encoder
connector to avoid damage to the controller.
If the encoder cable is not terminated with Canon DB-9 connector, the encoder can be
connected directly to the SDK-500 board's screw terminals as shown in figure .4B.
3.6. CONTROL INPUTS
The SDK-500 controller is equipped with two control inputs provided for compatibility with
different types of elevator controllers. Both inputs or either of them individually can be
activated from the menu of the controller. Connection alternatives are shown below.
Figures .5 A and B shows how to connect open/close control signals to {CLOSE INP.}
and {OPEN INP.} inputs of the SDK-500. The control signals are generated by the main
controller of the elevator. If the elevator control system uses normally-open potential-free
contacts (e.g. relay) to control the doors they can be connected to SDK-500 as shown in fig.
.5A utilising the on-board voltage source of the controller. If the elevator control system uses
voltage outputs to control doors, they can be connected to SDK-500 as shown in fig. .5B.
Make sure that both inputs are activated in the controller's menu.

Fig. 3.5. Connection of the controller while using both inputs
Application of voltage to the {OPEN INP.} input will make SDK-500 start the door
opening procedure. During that, until the door is fully open (until the {OPEN} relay output is
active) removal of the voltage from {OPEN INP.} input will cause the SDK-500 to reverse the
door movement in order to close it. Removal of the voltage from {OPEN INP.} input after the
door has fully opened will not initiate the closing procedure and the door will remain open.
Application of voltage to the {CLOSE INP.} input will make SDK-500 start the door
closing procedure. During that, until the door is fully closed (until the {CLOSED} relay output is
active) removal of the voltage from {CLOSE INP.} input will cause the SDK-500 to reverse the
door movement in order to open it. Removal of the voltage from {CLOSE INP.} input after the
door has fully closed will not initiate the opening procedure and the door will remain closed.
Voltage should not be applied to both control inputs at the same time. If it is, however,
the {CLOSE INP.} signal wins and the SDK-500 will behave as if only voltage was applied to
{CLOSE INP.} input.
Figures .6 A and B shows how to connect the control inputs in systems where only one
output is used by the main elevator controller to control door's opening and closing. Figure
.6A shows how to connect the {OPEN INP.}, input using internal SDK-500 voltage source
and figure .6B shows connection in case of using voltage output on the elevator's main
controller.
A) B)
Fig. 3.6. Connection of the controller while using single {OPEN INP.} input
Make sure that ONLY one input - {OPEN INP.} - is activated in the menu of SDK-500 for
this type of control. In this mode, if the voltage is applied to the {OPEN INP.} input, SDK-500
will open the door and keep it open as long as the voltage remains applied. Removal of the
voltage from the {OPEN INP.} input will make the controller close the door.
Although the SDK-500 can also be controlled using {CLOSE INP.} input only as shown in
fig. .7 A and B. For this purpose only the {CLOSE INP.} input must be activated in the
controller's menu. In this case the application of voltage to {CLOSE INP.} input will make the

Even momentary drop of voltage on the {CLOSE INP.} control input will immediately start door
opening procedure and, as a result, opening of safety interlock circuitry of the elevator.

3.7. RELAY OUTPUTS
The SDK-500 controller is equipped with three normally-open relay outputs. Two of them
({OPEN}, {CLOSED}) indicate the door reaching the terminal positions (fully open or fully
closed). The third one ({BARRIER}) is used to indicate detection of an obstacle during the
door movement. It is activated both in case of the optical barrier interruption as wells as in
case of a mechanical blocking of the door movement.
Note that the relay outputs operation depends on the menu option settings. Figure .8
shows connection of relay outputs and inductive loads. In this case it is required to use
additional suppression circuit (typically capacitor 47nF/ min. 250VAC in series with 100R/5W
resistor), connected in parallel to relay terminals or (better) directly on the load (see figure
.8). In consequence of using the suppression circuit, the level of generated electromagnetic
disturbances is lower, and the life of relay contacts rises.

Typically optical barriers and optical detectors are connected into the main elevator
controller. In order to speed up system reaction to interruption of the barrier, connect the
barrier signal directly to SDK-500.
Connections of external optical barrier is shown in fig. .9A – using internal voltage
source of SDK-500 and in fig. .9B - using external voltage from the main controller unit or
from the external optical barrier power supply.

Figure .10 shows connections of an Installation switch to {INSTALL} input of the SDK-
500. The Installation switch can be mounted on the housing of the SDK-500 in order to
perform „Installation” procedure without the need to enter the controller's menu. If the
{INSTALL} input is activated for a few seconds the SDK-500 will enter the „Installation”
procedure (see page 19).
CAUTION!
•Before {INSTALL} switch can be used, the door parameters must be entered to
the controller using menu.
• {INSTALL} input is enabled by default.
3.1 . OPTIONAL TERMINAL POSITION CONTACT (DOOR OPEN)
Figure .11 shows the connection of the optional terminal position contact (NO type
contact connected to the {END SWITCH} input) to indicate the full opening of the door. Use of
such contact is optional as the SDK-500 detects the terminal positions of door by detecting the
mechanical resistance at its terminal positions. This {END SWITCH} input is provided for
compatibility of SDK-500 with the widest range of doors and control systems.

User's manual for elevator door controller SDK-500
4.4. MENU DESCRIPTION
1. Doors data
1.1. Width, range: 20.0 ÷ 399.9 [ cm ]
The real (measured) path of a single-slide of door must be entered here. For single-slide
door the entire door width must be entered. For double slide door (build with two separate
parts meeting in the centre) a half of the entire door width must be entered. Entering incorrect
value will lead to incorrect calculation of the real door speed, which is necessary to stay in line
with value entered to the menu.
1.2. Weight, range: 10 ÷ 399 [ kg ]
It is mandatory to enter real door weight. It is critical to control of door's kinetic energy,
whose maximum value must not exceed 10 J.
•CAUTION! Entering incorrect values can lead to the faulty operation of the door
and/or can create serious risk of injuries.
•If the door weight setting is being changed after the speed settings have been
made and a value is entered which would result in exceeding the maximum
allowable kinetic energy of the door, the controller will display "Kinetic energy
exceeded" message and automatically adjust maximum speed such as to
account for the new weight setting.
2. Speeds
2.1. V Opening, range: 0.10 ÷ 0.79 [ m/s ]
Required door opening speed should be entered here.
2.2. V Closing, range: 0.10 ÷ 0.79 [ m/s ]
Required door closing speed should be entered here.
Based on the entered door weight SDK-500 automatically calculates maximum door
speed not to exceed the maximum allowed kinetic energy of the door (10J). If the V Opening
or V Closing entered here is greater than the calculated maximum speed, it will be adjusted
down to prevent of exceeding the maximum value of kinetic energy.
•If the door weight setting is changed by the installer (operator) such that the
kinetic energy calculated for speed V Opening or V Closing exceeds the
permissible value then "Kinetic energy exceeded", message is displayed. In
this case adjustments are made automatically to V Opening or V Closing or
both to bring the kinetic energy down to its maximum value.
•CAUTION! Subsequent change of door weight setting back to original value
WILL NOT affect the V Opening or V Closing values. It is necessary to enter
required values again.

allowable kinetic energy of the door, the controller will display "Kinetic energy
exceeded" message and automatically adjust maximum speed such as to
account for the new weight setting.
3. Calibration
3.1. Installation [ execute ]
The „Installation” procedure must be performed during the first power-on of the SDK-
500 controller. The door will be driven slowly to fully closed position and then to fully open
position.
If start of „Installation” procedure causes door opening it is important to stop
procedure immediately by pressing [ESC/MENU] button. Next switch off the
controller power supply and swap motor power supply lines – J1.1 and J1.2
connectors (see figure 6.1 at page 29). After changing motor power supply
connection „Installation” procedure must be start again.
During this movement terminal positions of the door will be identified and stored in the
controller's non-volatile memory. Then the door will be closed again. Finally, door will open and
close three times with programmed speeds and entered values of the door parameters. During
that operation an average current value will be stored in the controller's non-volatile memory
as the reference values for the door mechanical resistance.
Installation procedure should only be executed when all door parameters are correctly set in
the SDK-500. This procedure is set of two procedures executed in sequence: „Selflearning”
procedure (described at page 22) and „Diagnose” procedure (described at page 22).
3.2. Init. speed Initialisation speed), range: 5,0 ÷ 99,9 [ % ]
Percentage value of the door speed during initialisation and calibration process should be
entered here.
If value entered by user will be too high, then calibration may fail.

3.3. Close force Closing force), range: 0.00 ÷ 6.00 [ A ]
In this menu the static door closing force is entered, expressed as the corresponding
motor current in Amperes. In order to determine it, during the calibration use a dynamometer
to find the current corresponding to the force of 150 N, which the regulations adopt as the
maximum permissible static force applied by the door to any object in its path. The
corresponding current value is treated by the controller as the absolute maximum current to be
supplied to the motor while door closing.
3.4. Open force Opening force), range: 0.00 ÷ 6.00 [ A ]
In this menu the static door opening force is entered, expressed as the corresponding
motor current in Amperes. In order to determine it, during the calibration use a dynamometer
to find the current corresponding to the force of 150 N, which the regulations adopt as the
maximum permissible static force applied by the door to any object in its path. The
corresponding current value is treated by the controller as the absolute maximum current to be
supplied to the motor while door opening.
•If the door encounters an obstacle in its path, the motor's current consumption
rapidly increases. If it exceeds the value set by „Close force” or „Open force”
parameters the controller will stop the door and reverse its motion to move it
away from the obstacle.
•Once the door is moved away from the obstacle, the controller will attempt to
close/open the door once again. If the obstacle is still in the door's way, the
procedure will be repeated up to 5 times. If the obstacle is still in the door's way
the controller will attempt to close/open the door moving it at minimum speed. If
this attempt also fails, the controller will move the door to fully open/closed
position and wait for 20 sec. Next the closing/opening procedures starts again. If
{OPEN INP.}/{CLOSE INP.} signals will change while attempt of
closing/opening procedure then full cycle will start again.
3.5. Open tigh. tightening force of opened doors), range: 0.00 ÷ 1.00 [ A ]
The value of the current used to tighten door at its open positions. This value should be
determined empirically by taking into account all forces from mechanical closing elements like
springs and weights. Before changing this parameter, door should be closed. Then increase
current value carefully to cause the door moving slowly into fully open position. If door stops
during opening then continue increase current to force moving. Final current should be set to
lowest value to keep door in fully open position.
•During current setting procedure, door speed is NOT controlled – therefore to
avoid door crash do NOT set high current values. Current value should be
increased very carefully, very slow, with visual door motion control. When door
is moving (opening), do NOT increase the current value.
•Do not set current value greater than determined during procedure described
above. To high current value may cause motor overload, overheat and even
damage.
