1 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
1.1 UP TRAVEL
Start
Pump motor and pilot valve 12:H are activated.
Oil flow from the pump pushes the start valve SV open and goes back to the tank. The
motor reaches the nominal speed “compressing” the oil to by pass pressure (SV is wide
open).
After a short time delay, which depends on J12, HDV closes.
This delay enables the star/delta motor starting and eliminates the need of a specific pilot
valve. Pilot valve 12:H is activated and the main speed valve MSV starts to open.
The start valve SV closes with constant speed determinated by the spring and the jet J1
increasing the pressure inside the chamber in front of CV1.

Acceleration
When it is higher than the load pressure, the pressure pushes CV1 and the compensator
valve PCV, to the open position. The elevator begins to accelerate due to oil flow through
the check valve, the main speed valve and PCV to the cylinder line.

Nominal speed
When SV is completely closed, the whole flow from the pump goes to the cylinder and the
elevator drives up at the nominal speed.
The still activated 12:H pilot valve keeps MSV wide open.

Deceleration
When the elevator arrives at the deceleration vane, the pilot valve 12:H drops, SV gradually
closes, thanks to J1, DV1, J9, J4 while deceleration is actuated by the gradual closing of
MSV valve.

Levelling speed
After MSV has closed completely, a little portion of the flow reaches the jack through
levelling valve LSV while the bigger part will come back to the tank through SV, and the
car will climb at levelling speed.

Stop
When the elevator car arrives at the floor level vane, the motor is switched off.
Inertia of the motor and the flywheel makes the elevator stop smoothly.
While the pump retards, SV, CV1 and PCV close to the position they had before start up.
the route through CV3 and J10 is provided for speeding up the closing of PCV after the
elevator has stopped.

3
1.2 DOWN TRAVEL
Start
The pilot valves, 12:H e 12:N are activated, this causes the opening of the down travel valve
DTV, MSV and PCV.

Acceleration
MSV, slowed by jets J4 and J5, opens gradually until it’s wide open and the car accelerates
until it reaches the max speed.

Nominal speed
MSV is wide open, PCV regulates the oil flow and therefore the car speed, thanks to the
pressure balance created by J6, J7, DV2 (last one is adjustable)

Deceleration
When the car reaches the slowing vane, 12:H is deactivated, MSV start closing, slowed by
J4, and the car decelerates.
Again PCV keeps the pressure drop over MSV constant and the elevator decelerates to the
levelling speed as MSV closes.

Levelling speed
MSV is fully closed, oil flows just through LSV, and the car goes down slowly. PCV
regulates oil flow according to car load.

Stop
Finally 12:N is de-energized. the down travel valve DTV start closing and the elevator stops
smoothly. The pressure compensator valve PCV closes too and the elevator is ready for the
next travel.

Pilot valve 12:s for service drive is compulsory for elevators with speed over 0,63 m/s
When using service drive. The pilot valve 12:H is not energized

5 LOCATION AND REPAIR OF INTERNAL
OIL LEAKAGE
If the lift car sinks inspite of the fact that there is no visible oil leakage, the leakage is
somewhere inside the valve body. Closing of the shut off valve also helps indicate the
existence of an internal leakage, because the manometer reading immediately starts to
decrease.

NOTE! The car sinks also when the oil cools down. This sinking of the car has nothing to
do with oil leakage. When the oil cools down 40°C the car may sink 40...100 mm at the
lower most landing and up to 200...400 mm at the upper most landing.

The location of an internal leakage is a bit complicated, because there are several points to
be checked in the valve:

1. Hand pump HP (if existing)

2. Pressure difference valve DV1
3. Manual lowering valve ML
4. Pilot valves 12:H, 12:N, 12:S
5. Check valve CV1 and down travel valve DTV

It is better to start the location and repair of a leakage first with easier points. This can be done in
the order of the list above.

NOTE! Before working on the valve, switch of the main power.

16
5.1 CHECK UP OF THE HAND PUMP AND REPAIR OF THE LEAKAGE

- Check that there is static pressure in the valve.

- Open the tank cover and take up the free end of the hand pump suction pipe. If a leak
flow comes from the pipe, the leakage in the hand pump is either in:

a. the pressure and suction port check valves

b. the pressure port check valve and in the pressure relief valve
c. or in the service speed pilot valve 12:S (only 300S and 300E)

If only the suction port check valve is leaking (or the relief valve) the hand pump arm can be
pushed with little force. The leakage in the pressure port check valve alone makes the pump
arm come up by itself.

Tools:
- Socket head wrench 6 and 8 mm (allen key)
- Spanner 27 mm
- Mandrel 8 mm
- Hammer

17
5.1.1 SUCTION PORT CHECK VALVE

- Close the shut-off valve

- Open the suction port check valve. Remove the spring and the ball and clean the ball
seat.
- Install the ball and form the ball seat by hitting the ball slightly using the mandrel
and the hammer.
- Install the valve and check the tightness again.

5.1.2 HAND PUMP RELIEF VALVE

- Close the shut-off valve and test the hand pump over pressure.
- Let off the pressure, open the relief valve and form the ball seat by hitting the ball
slightly using the mandrel and the hammer.
- Install the relief valve and set the over pressure. Check the tightness.

5.1.3 PRESSURE PORT CHECK VALVE

The repair of this check valve is a work shop operation. Leakage in the pressure
port check valve must be repaired without any delay because this check valve
prevents the hand pump relief valve from opening with over load!

5.1.4 PILOT VALVE 12:S (see section 4)

5.1.5 HAND PUMP PISTON ROD SEAL (EXTERNAL LEAKAGE)

- Close the shut-off valve and discharge the pressure.

- Remove the screw that acts as a pin joint in the linkage and lift off the piston from
the pump.
- Fit new o-rings on the piston (2 pieces 16x2 NBR 70 GR).
- Install the hand pump and check the tightness.

18
5.2 PRESSURE DIFFERENCE VALVE DV1

- Close the shut-off valve and discharge the pressure.

- Open the plug (1).
- Remove the spring and the ball and check them. Clean the ball seat carefully.
- Position the ball back and form the ball seat by hitting the ball slightly using the
mandrel and the hammer.
- Install the spring and the plug
- Check that DV1 does not leak any more.

Tools:

- Socket head wrench 5 mm (allen key)

- Mandrel D 8 mm
- Hammer

19
5.3 MANUAL LOWERING VALVE

1. O-ring 1,6 x 11,1

2. O-ring 1,6 x 14,1
3. Ball D 8 mm
4. O-ring 2,9 x 1,78

- Check that there is static pressure in the valve.

- Open the plug (5) of the PV valve and remove the spring and the ball.
- If oil is flowing from the bottom of the hole then there is a leakage over the ball (3)
or the O-ring (1). A short plastic pipe D9 or a piece of paper formed into a cylinder
(6) helps to verify the leakage by covering the bore to tank.
- In the case of leakage discharge the pressure.
- Remove the manual lowering valve.
- Check the O-ring (1) and replace it with a new one, if necessary. If there was
external leakage, then also change the O-rings (2) and (4) .
- Clean the ball and the seat.
- Replace the ball back on its seat and form the seat by hitting the ball slightly using
the mandrel and hammer. NOTE! Make sure the lever is pulled back and clear of the
pin when reseating the ball. Otherwise the pin can be bent causing it to jam when the
valve is operated.
Tools:

- Socket head wrench 5 mm (allen key)

- Mandrel D8 mm
- Hammer

5.4 PILOT VALVES 12:H, 12:N AND 12:S

- Leakage in a pilot valve can be verified by replacing the pilot valve with a new one.
Leakage in the pilot valve 12:H can also be seen by opening the plug of jet 5, and
letting the leak oil out. The plug of jet 3 lets out the leak flow from the pilot valve
12:N. If 12:S leaks the oil flows to the suction pipe of the hand pump.
- To repair a leakage first close the shut-off valve and remove the coil.
- Unscrew the pilot valve and check the O-rings (the middle one carries the static
pressure).
- Replace the faulty O-rings and install the pilot valve.
- If the pilot valve still leaks, replace it with a new one.

O-rings:

1. 4,47 x 1,78
2. 9,25 x 1,78
3. 10,82 x 1,78

Tools:

- Spanner 19 mm

5.5 REPAIR OF CHECK VALVE (CV1) AND DOWN TRAVEL VALVE
(DTV)

Tools:

- Socket head wrench 8 mm (allen key)

- A small screw driver
- Cutting pliers

5.5.1 REMOVAL OF THE COVER

- Discharge the pressure from the hydraulic system.

- Remove the nine fixing screws of the cover (the middle one last).
- Check that all the O-rings were in the right places.

5.5.2 CHECK VALVE CV1

2 Washer seal 114356 H01

2. Locking ring

- Pull out the check valve

- Compress the spring and remove the locking ring (2).
- Change the washer seal (1).

5.5.3 DOWN TRAVEL VALVE DTV

2 O-ring 5 x 16
2. Locking wire (1 mm)
3. Bushing

- Pull out the down travel valve spool.

- Take off the locking wire (2).
- Remove the bushing (3) so that the O-ring (1) becomes visible.
- Change the O-ring (1).
- Set the bushing back in positionand lock it with 1 mm thick wire.

5.5.4 ASSEMBLY OF THE VALVES AND THE COVER

- Install the check valve CV1 and the down travel valve DTV back into the valve
body.
- Press the cover against the valve body so that the MSV-spool goes in and turn the
middle screw in by hand. At the same time check that the O-rings stay in the right
place.
- Replace the remaining screws. Tighten the screws by starting with the middle one.
- Drive the lift and check that there are no more leaks.
