    The document is a set of questions and answers about the G.A.L. TYPE MOVFR encoderless closed loop door operator. It describes the operator as using a variable voltage variable frequency drive to control an AC motor and maintain consistent door timing without an encoder. It requires 200-230V AC power and can accept a variety of input signals. The operator provides 10A 230V AC output contacts and is adjusted using a hand-held parameter unit for setting speeds, rates, and torque values.

    G.A.L. TYPE MOVFR ENCODERLESS CLOSED LOOP DOOR OPERATOR.

    QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:

    Q1: What is the MOVFR operator?


    A: The MOVFR door operator is an AC operator controlled by a variable voltage variable
    frequency (VVVF) closed loop drive. The controls consists of an AC motor, a VVVF Drive, and a
    PC board.
    It features keypad programming with digital display, electronic door position optical cams with
    sequential lights indicating speed and door positions, over current re open signal and DPM Fault
    Monitor* signal. It accepts universal input signals, from dry contacts to signal voltage, from 12 to
    230 volts AC or DC. The output contacts are rated at 10 amp 230 volts AC including door open
    limit, door close limit, re open signal and DPM signal.

    * The Fault Monitor is a patented door lock and gate switch protection device used to meet
    ASME A17.1 RULE 210.15 and CAN/CSA-B44-M90 RULE 3.12.1.5.

    Q2: What makes it encoderless closed loop?


    A: The VVVF drive reads the motor parameters and varies the power applied to the motor to
    compensate for load changes such as wind conditions. This results in consistent door timing
    from floor to floor without the use of a separate speed sensing rotating device such as an
    encoder.

    Q3: What type of motor does it use?


    A: The motor is ½ HP, 230 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz, 1140 RPM

    Q4: What is the power requirement?


    A: The operator requires from 200 to 230 volts AC single phase, 50 or 60 Hertz, 3 amps
    fused power supply. The fuse can be either 3 amp time delay or 6 amp fast acting.

    If 120 volts AC is available and 200 to 230 volts AC is not available, G.A.L. can provide a
    500 VA single phase step-up transformer from 120 volts AC to 220 volts AC.

    Q5: What type of input signals does it require and what type of output contacts does it provide.?
    A: The input signals (door open, door close and nudging) can be either dry contacts or voltage
    signals ranging from 12 to 230 volts AC or DC, 30 milliamps.
    The output contacts, such as the open and close limits, are rated at 230 volts, 10 amp AC.

    Q6: How are speeds and torque adjusted?


    A: The parameter values pre-set by our factory and indicated on the back of the PUO4
    parameter unit and on the operator are easily changed by entering new values in the parameter
    unit. The electronic door position optical cams are also pre-set with sequential lights indicating
    speed and door positions. Minor adjustments may be required.

    Q7: What is a parameter unit?


    A: The parameter unit is a keypad device with digital display used to change the factory set
    values of the various Drive parameters to exact speeds and rates of acceleration, deceleration,
    and torque as required on the particular installation.

    Q8: What is the difference between the PAO2 and the PUO4 parameters?
    A: The PAO2 plugs into the drive and can be left attached to it. It cannot be hand-held,
    adjustments can only be made from the car top. This unit uses arrows to scan up or down
    through the parameters. For example, when reaching parameter # 25 on the digital display, high
    speed open can be changed by scanning up or down to the desired speed indicated on the
    display.

    The PUO4 is hand-held and can be used inside the elevator for door adjustments.
    The desired parameter is entered directly from the numbers keypad, the digital display shows the
    numbered entered. For example, parameter # 25 is entered for high speed open and its present
    value displayed when the READ button is pressed. That value can then be changed to the exact
    new speed by entering the new number and pressing the WRITE button.
    This parameter unit also has uploading and downloading capabilities. This is desirable when all
    doors in a group of elevators are to operate exactly the same. After adjusting one set of doors to
    the desired operation, this information can than be transferred to all the other cars for the same
    operation.
