October 2021 - 88420 v.1.0 3
Safety Precautions
Read this page before any work is performed on elevator equipment.
The procedures contained in this manual are intended for the use of
qualified elevator personnel. In the interest of your personal safety and
the safety of others, do not attempt any procedure that you are not
qualified to perform.
All procedures must be accomplished in accordance with the applicable
rules in the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, the latest edition
of ASME A17.1, and any governing local codes.
Terms in This Manual
CAUTION statements identify conditions that may result in damage to
the equipment or other property if improper procedures are followed.
WARNING statements identify conditions that may result in personal
injury if improper procedures are followed.
General Safety
Before applying power to the controller, check that all manufacturing
wire connections are tight on relays, contactors, fuse blocks, resistors,
and terminals on boards and DIN rail terminals. Connections loosened
during shipment may cause damage or intermittent operation.
Other specific warnings and cautions are found where applicable and do not
appear in this summary. See the Employee Safety and Accident Prevention
Program Manual and the Elevator Industry Field Employees’ Safety Handbook
for electrical equipment safety information on installation and service.
Electrical Safety
All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and be con-
sistent with all state and local codes.
Use the Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazards, use only the correct type fuse, voltage, and current rating.
See the job specific drawings sheet (Power Supplies) for fusing information.
Electric shocks can cause personal injury or loss of life. Circuit breakers,
switches, and fuses may not disconnect all power to the equipment. Always
refer to the wiring diagrams. Whether the AC supply is grounded or not, high
voltage will be present at many points.

Electrical Safety
(continued) Printed Circuit Boards
Printed circuit boards may be damaged if removed or installed in the circuit
while applying power. Before installation and/or removing printed circuit
boards, secure all power. Always store and ship printed circuit boards in sepa-
rate static bags.
Mainline Disconnect
Unless otherwise directed, always Turn OFF, Lockout, and Tagout the mainline
disconnect to remove power from elevator equipment. Before proceeding, con-
firm that the equipment is de-energized with a volt meter. Refer to the Employ-
ees’ Safety and Accident Prevention Program Manual for the required
procedure.
When Power Is On
To avoid personal injury, do not touch exposed electrical connections or compo-
nents while power is ON.
Test Equipment Safety
Always refer to manufacturers’ instruction book for proper test equipment
operation and adjustments.
Buzzer-type continuity testers can damage electronic components. Connection
of devices such as voltmeters on certain low level analog circuits may degrade
electronic system performance. Always use a voltmeter with a minimum imped-
ance of 1 M Ohm/Volt. A digital voltmeter is recommended.
Mechanical Safety
See the Employees’ Safety and Accident Prevention Program Manual and
the Elevator Industry Field Employees’ Safety Handbook for mechanical
equipment safety information on installation and service.
Power Unit Fluid System
If working on the power unit fluid system, the static car weight is applying pres-
sure to the jack and valve system and this stored pressure is present at the
power unit.
Before working on any component of the power unit, do one of the following:
• Manually lower the car onto the buffers to relieve the stored pressure.
• Close the machine room oil line shutoff valve, and then release the power
unit pressure by momentarily opening the manual lowering adjuster
valve.

LD-16 Door Operator - Modernization Static Protection Guidelines
October 2021 - 88420 v.1.0 5
Arrival of Equipment
Receiving
Upon arrival of the equipment, inspect it for damage. Promptly report all vis-
ible damage to the carrier. All shipping damage claims must be filed with the
carrier.
Storing
During storage in a warehouse or on the job site, precautions should be taken to
protect the equipment from dust, dirt, moisture, and temperature extremes.
Static Protection Guidelines
Read this page before working with electronic circuit boards.
Elevator systems use electronic circuit boards to control various functions of
the elevator. These boards have components that are extremely sensitive to
electrostatic voltage, which can cause board damage or failure.
Proper handling and shipping of boards is important to ensure their reliability
and long-term operation. For this reason, manufacturing bases warranty deci-
sions on the guidelines below.
Handling • Store boards in separate, sealed, anti-static bags until time for installation.
• When handling boards, wear an anti-static wrist strap with ground wire.
Acceptable straps are available through local electronics parts suppliers.
Typical anti-static wrist straps are intended for applications below 240 VAC.
• Do not place boards on any surface without adequate static protection.
• Handle boards only by their edges using proper anti-static techniques.
Avoid touching components, traces, and connectors.
• Take extra care when handling individual components, such as integrated
chips, metal oxide semiconductors, and field-effect transistors. These com-
ponents can be destroyed with as little as 30 volts of electrostatic dis-
charge.
Shipping • Complete the included board discrepancy sheet.
• Any board returned to manufacturing must be packaged in a closed,
sealed anti-static bag designed for the board, and packaged in a sturdy
protective shipping carton.
• Clear bubble wrap and Styrofoam are unacceptable packing materials.
Failure to adhere to the above guidelines will void the board warranty.

Access and Egress Procedures LD-16 Door Operator - Modernization
6© Vertical Express
Access and Egress Procedures
The access and egress procedures that are used entering the hoistway
determine whether or not power is needed to perform the required task(s).
If not, Turn OFF, Lockout, and Tagout the mainline disconnect.
DO NOT stand on the car top emergency access cover.
Car Top Safety
Safety Precautions When Accessing/Egressing Car Tops
• Before opening the hoistway door, ensure that the correct hoistway has
been selected and that the car is at the proper floor (to avoid a fall hazard).
• Access car tops from the top terminal landing whenever possible.
• Never access a hoistway, unless a reliable method of controlling the
car has been determined.
• Locate the emergency stop switch.
• Before accessing the car top, place the stop switch in the STOP position,
and confirm the proper operation.
• Locate a safe refuge area.
• Always maintain control of the hoistways doors during access/egress.
• Fall protection is to be used when a fall hazard exists. The only exception to
this is when routine maintenance is being performed on top of complete,
operational elevator cars, Do Not use fall protection where there is a greater
risk of entanglement.
• When opening hoistway doors from the car top, do so slowly, so that no
one steps in from the landing thinking a car has arrived.
• Observe overhead clearances.
• Use extra care when working on car tops that are curved, domed, or
located in unenclosed hoistways.
DO NOT turn the following switches to Automatic Operation until the
hoistway door interlock is open–and remains open–and the hoistway
is empty.
• When egressing the hoistway/car top, ensure that the stop switch is in the
STOP position, and that the inspection switch is on Inspection Operation.

Safety Precautions When Working on Car Tops
DO NOT attach electrical cords on the car or counterweight ropes.
• Before beginning work, check the car top for oil or grease, and clean as
required.
• Locate the position and counterweights of the car being accessed, as
well as any other cars/counterweights in the vicinity. Take appropriate
measures to avoid hazards.
• Verify proper operation of the top-of-car inspection operating buttons.
Where outlets are provided, use a grounded, portable light with a suitable,
non-conductive; or use a grounded lamp guard and reflector.
Pit Safety
Before entering a pit, ensure that every employee is aware of the hazards.
Some common hazards are:
• Recognized refuge space
• Inadequate lighting
• Improper access
• Tripping hazards
• Improper use of pit ladders
• Moisture/water/fluid
• Moving equipment
Safety Precautions Before Entering a Pit
Take appropriate steps to minimize the following hazards and any others
that are identified, such as:
• Locate the position of the car being accessed, as well as any other cars
in the vicinity.
• Before accessing the pit, the car MUST be located high enough to allow
the placement of the pit prop pipe stands to be inserted into the buffers.
• Once the pit is initially accessed, the pit props must be installed and the
oil line shutoff valve closed to prevent car movement.
• Obtain control of the car.
• Identify a refuge space.
• If movement of the elevator is not needed to complete the work being per-
formed, Turn OFF, Lockout, and Tagout procedures are required.

Safety Precautions Before Entering a Pit (continued)
• If notified by the building owner or representative that the pit and/or hoist-
way has been classified as a Permit Required Confined Space (this notifica-
tion could be verbal or the pit/hoistway may be labeled), contact the
appropriate person for authorization. In either case, do not enter the pit/
hoistway until authorization is received.
Safety Precautions When Working In Pits
• Before entering a pit, test and verify the door lock circuit and stop switch
circuit.
• Ensure that all portable lights and tools are connected through a ground
fault (GFCI).
• Take care to protect all lighting from damage.
• DO NOT work in a pit with standing water.
• Before climbing, always examine shoes for fluid/grease.
• Use both hands when working with ladders and also when accessing and
egressing a pit.
• Be aware of moving equipment (e.g., pump, motors, belts, and sheaves),
and ensure that clothing and hands cannot get caught in them.
• Avoid smoking or the use of open flames in the pit.
