ARKEL 6 ARS Cx/Dx

1.5 STORAGE
Store the machine in a closed, dry, dust-free, well-ventilated place free from vibrations.
The storage temperature should be between -20°C and 60°C.
Do not store the traction machine in the open and/or in places exposed to the elements.
Avoid excessive storage periods (recommended: max. 1 year).
After prolonged periods of storage (more than 3 months), make the motor run at low speed
(less than 20 rpm) to redistribute the lubricating grease inside the bearings.
Measure the windings’ insulation resistance before starting the machine after a prolonged
period of storage. If the resistance has dropped below 1MΩ, the windings will have to be
dried or placing the motor in a warm dry atmosphere for a few hours or until the insulation
value rises > 1MΩ (Insulation meter voltage: 500V DC).
2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 MAIN FEATURES
The ARKEL ARS Cx/Dx units are gearless traction machines designed for operating lifts (elevators).
They can be installed directly inside the lift well and do not require a dedicated machine room. Thanks
to their compact dimensions and design concept - based on the projection of the traction sheave - they
allow very good size-to-power ratios. These machines are mainly designed to be installed at the top of
the lift well, where their small size makes it easy to arrange the various machine parts.
These traction machines are equipped with permanent-magnet synchronous motors, allowing excellent
performances in terms of:
• Low noise levels

• High energy efficiency
• High dynamic performance and optimal control of motion profiles
• High power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios
Being equipped with high-quality shielded bearings with life lubrication and having no parts that work
by friction, these machines require very little maintenance.
Feedback for the traction machine is provided by a high-quality encoder which, used in combination
with a frequency regulator, allows sophisticated motion control and accurate management of the car’s
position within the entire speed range.
Special attention was given to sizing the electromagnetic section, which was optimized by finite-
element analyses to achieve excellent performance in terms of torque and low-speed ripple reduction.
Their advanced design and the quality of the construction materials contribute to place ARS Cx/Dx
units among the sturdiest and most reliable traction machines.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Make sure that all the prescribed safety measures have been applied before installing the
traction machine.
Before proceeding to install the machine, check the installation base and make sure it is
adequately sized. If it is not, do not install the machine.
The traction machine may be installed and electrically connected only by qualified and
trained technical personnel.
Bear in mind that ARS Cx/Dx traction machines are designed to be installed at the top of the
lift well, where the space is restricted and working conditions are not comfortable.
The encoder is located at the back of the machine; leave enough working space between the
machine and the wall to replace the encoder.
3.2 FASTENING THE TRACTION MACHINE
Fasten the ARS Cx series machine to the base using 4 pcs M16 bolts having strength class
12.9. The tightening torque for this class is 300Nm.
Fasten the ARS Dx series machine to the base using 4 pcs M20 bolts having strength class
12.9. The tightening torque for this class is 600Nm.
In order to reduce vibrations, place a rubber mat between the machine and the base.
The maximum allowed deviation from planarity for the supporting surface is 0.2mm.
Make sure the base is solid and adequately sized. If it is not, do not install the traction
machine.
The load applied by the ropes on the traction machine should have no lateral components in
order not to apply a shearing stress on the fastening bolts. The maximum allowed deviation
from verticality is 10°.
Place the ropes on the traction sheave only after fastening the machine and engaging the
brake.
The traction machine is equipped with 2 pieces rope slip-off guard. After placing the ropes,
set the guard at a distance from the rope of no more than 1.5mm.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.1 GENERAL
The traction machine may be electrically connected only by qualified personnel.

After connecting the machine and before using it in any way, check the electrical insulation
of the terminal box and the operating panel.
Before making any connections, make sure that:
• The connection cables are suitable for their specific application in terms of voltages
and currents.
• The cables are correctly installed and not susceptible to twisting, tensile or shearing
strains that might affect their characteristics.
• The protective conductor has Protection Class 1 and is properly connected to the
earthing system.
• There is no foreign matter or dirt inside the terminal box.
• The terminal box is properly sealed and the cable passages prevent the entry of dirt or
dust.
• The motor insulation system is adequately sized for connection to frequency
regulators by DC bus having a maximum voltage of 800V.
• The maximum acceptable rate of voltage rise (dU/dt) for the motor is 4kV/us. In case
that value is exceeded, suitable reactors should be introduced in the inverter-motor
connection.
• The maximum acceptable overvoltage at the machine’s terminals is 1.3kV.

DATA REFERRED TO PVC SHIELDED CABLES AT MAX. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

OF 40°C.
We recommend using oil-resistant, flame-resistant, shielded power cables for brushless

motors, with PVC sheathing and designed for fixed laying.
The motor cable must be a shielded cable with 3 poles + earth + shielding.
Make sure the cable terminations are fitted with the right terminals for connecting to the
terminal box.
Make sure the U, V, W connection order on the motor is the same as on the inverter output. If
this order is not respected the traction machine will not operate correctly, causing inverter
failure.
For safety reasons it is very important to properly connect the earth cable.
Connect the shield properly to the earth terminal located in the terminal box.
When connecting the temperature sensors (PTC) to the control panels, make sure that no more
than 2.5V voltage is applied to the PTC terminals.
ARKEL 13 ARS Cx/Dx

4.3 CONNECTING THE BRAKE
The traction machine is delivered without a separate power supply for the brake. The power
supply for the brake must be provided by the user/installer.
The electrical connections for the brake’s power supply and the two microswitches are shown
inside the terminal box.
The brake voltage is 207V DC.
To reduce noises and electric arcs during brake release, the brakes should be switched-off from
the AC side during normal operation. In this way the brakes are switched-off slower and thus
quieter. To ensure instantaneous and faster brake engagement in emergencies, inspection,
recall and manual rescue operations, the brakes should be switched-off from the DC side.
A suitable varistors must be used to filter the instantaneous high-voltage peaks on the brake
coils.
Do not apply a voltage higher than 30V DC, 100mA to the brake microswitches.
The microswitches which are monitoring correct operation of the brakes should be connected
properly and should not be disabled.
Connection of the brake microswitches is made through normally closed (NC) contacts inside
the terminal box.
Make sure the cable terminations are fitted with the right terminals for connecting to the
terminal box.
See the relative section in the brake manual for further details.
ARKEL 14 ARS Cx/Dx

4.4 CONNECTING THE ENCODER
ARS Cx/Dx traction machines are equipped with the following encoder:
HOHNER SSI + 2048 Sin/Cos
The encoder connection cable is located at the back of the traction machine.
The encoder connection cable is supplied without a connector.
Make sure that the encoder cable does not pass close to the motor and brake connection
cable, in order to avoid disturbances that would interfere with the position measuring system.
Due to the nature of permanent-magnet synchronous machines, the absolute position of the
encoder relative to the pulley shaft must be individually determined on each traction
machine. For further details please refer to the commissioning manual of the drive system
installed.
The encoder is the most delicate part of the traction machine. Be careful not to bump the
encoder against hard objects during handling, fastening or commissioning.
When positioning the traction machine, bear in mind that the encoder can be accessed only
from the back of the machine. Be sure to leave enough space to service or replace the
encoder.
The encoder connections are shown below.

5. TESTING THE BRAKE SYSTEM (in accordance with EN 81-20/50)
When testing the brake the car should be placed at approximately half the height of the lift
well.
Before testing the brake, the elements that short-circuit the motor windings (e.g. contactor
contacts) can be deactivated. So the effect of the brake will only be tested.
This test may be performed only by qualified specialist personnel and in strict accordance with
EU directives, national regulations and with particular reference to standard EN 81-20/50 and
any other relevant regulation.
5.1 DOUBLE BRAKE TEST (OVERLOAD TEST)
EN 81-20: “This brake on its own shall be capable of stopping the machine when the car is travelling
downward at rated speed and with the rated load plus 25%.”
Test the brake in the following conditions:

1) Car is loaded equal to 125% the rated load,
2) Downward travel,
3) Travelling at rated speed,
4) Power supply of the motor and both brake coils are switched-off at the same time.
In these conditions, the retardation of the car shall not exceed that resulting from operation of the
safety gear or stopping on the buffer.
5.2 SINGLE BRAKE TEST (BRAKE FAILURE TEST)
EN 81-20: “It shall be verified by practical tests that where one brake set is not working a sufficient
braking effort is exerted to decelerate the car, travelling downwards at rated speed and with rated
load.”
Test the brake in the following conditions:

1) Car is loaded equal to rated load,
2) Downward travel,
3) Travelling at rated speed,
4) Power supply of the motor and the single brake coil that is to be tested are switched-off at the
same time (the other brake set which is not tested must be kept open).
The test shall be performed separately for both brake sets.

For the test operation, the control panels must have suitable switch/button circuits.
It shall be possible to test each brake set independently from outside of the well.
During the test, the lift should continuously be monitored and if no deceleration is observed
the single brake set which is kept open must be closed immediately!
5.3 BRAKE MICRO-SWITCH/MONITORING TEST
Check the brake monitoring switches individually. No car travel must be permitted if a micro-switch
signal is missing or a wrong signal operates.
ARKEL 17 ARS Cx/Dx

6. MAINTENANCE
