products. These are: Encoder unit print, Hall landing Indicator Module
A， Floor indicator Module D, and Car indicator.
The whole indication system adopts dot matrix display technique,
which adopts good functional devices. It has the characteristics of
highlighted and low power, etc.
The system adopts surge-resistance technique, RS-485
communication protocol designed for ESD in order to improve
interference-proof ability, reliability and environmental adaptability.
It is compatible with Vander’s Encoder, car indicator, and
landing indicator. In addition to this, landing indicator Module
A & D of API also are compatible with Encoder of Other
suppliers by applying compatible card.
The series of products have passed the tests of TÜV
Technique in vibration, climatic, drop and EMC (conforms to
EN12015，EN12016 standards) tests.
Please read it carefully before using.

Version 1.5B
Part 1
Overview
The four products are all included in a whole indication system, which adopts
dot matrix display technique. It can be modified very easily for customers and display
the content by applying floor definition software operated in WIN9X, WIN2000, WIN
NT, WIN XP platforms.
Work principle: Encoder converts Gray code and other lift messages into
binary code which are acceptable to floor indicators. By means of RS-485
communication wire, the code will be transmitted to the indicators. Module A &
Module D will indicate the contents after receiving it. On the contrary, car indicator
can accept gray code from lift controller and other status signals independently.
The system can support up/down arrow, numbers 0-9, English characters,- and
special graphics and characters. It also can provide special messages such as “out of
service” both in English & Chinese（Module A & Module D can display, but car
indicator can not） Font such as 0-9, A-Z, __ 2-bit and 10 3-bit number such as LG1
also can be displayed.
Because of three jumpers newly added on Module A & D, conversion of O/S
signals between English and Chinese, VANDER version and API version can be
available.
Note: Do not install J1 jumper cap of API indicators at usual state. Changes are prohibited without
special requirements.

Version 1.5B
Applications
This product can be applied in the lift system of
¾ Office buildings
¾ All properties and industrial buildings
¾ Residential lots and areas, etc.

lift control signal wires.
The first thing for installing the encoder is to connect the DC power 24V to J3

Version 1.5B
terminal. Please refer to connection clarification of Part 2 on page 13 & 14.
Then, turn on the CB switch. The encoder PCB "LED" will light on, which
means the power is connected correctly.
Use the multimeter to check whether the voltage in position 1 and 2 of J3 terminal
is normal or not ( 24V-30V). Also, check whether the voltage of "S+" and "S-" in
position 3 and 2 is between "3.5V" ~"4.7V" or not.
After checking the above, plug-in the lift control signal wires to the position of J3
and J4 terminal respectively. It should be sure that the control signal wires is correctly
connected before plug-in.
Connect only one unit of Module A & D indicator into the encoder in machine
room. The scanning function of indicators will be shown, which means connection of
the system is OK. Then turn off the power of encoder unit.
Turn on power of encoder again, the indicator will show the update corresponding
signals of floor and up/down arrow.
Now, connect the four vertical cables LR-U， LR-D， LW-U， LW-D into the
encoder J4 for pin 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. It should be sure that the vertical cables
are in good condition.
REMARK: The encoder will transmit the signal once time only there is a change of lift
control signal. If no change of control signal, the encoder will not take any action.
