8. ALARMS CONFIGURATION
The alarms values correspond to the load threshold at which each relay change its state.
The relays allows to be configured individually as make or break contact
ng
Alarms are activated when their threshold is exceeded. The Unit OMEGA has 5 different alarms:
AL1-F (Full Load, Relay #1):

Change of state when exceeding the load programmed in

AL2-O (Over Load, Relay #2):

Change of state when exceeding the load programmed in

AL3-E (Empty Load, Relay #3):

Change of state when falling below the load programmed in

Note: This alarm is active below Alarm3 Threshold.
AL4-d (Rope Tension Difference, Relay #4):
Change of state if any rope deviates from the average of all other ropes at least by the percentage

programmed in .
AL5-S ( Slack Rope, Relay #4):

Change of state if any rope has a slack rope tension ( A value below alarm level threshold)
When Slack Rope Alarm is activated the word “Slack” will flash on the display.

The working procedure of the relays as a make or break contact can be changed for each alarm output

using the parameter. Valid values are (Close) for the operating mode MAKE and (Open)
for the operating mode BREAK. Close is a normally closed relay and OPEn is a normally open
relay. Alarm LEDs indicators will be activated when the display measured value overload corresponding
alarm level

Note: LEDs are not related to relay state but alarms levels.

Note: AL4‐d and AL5‐S share the same relay Output. When
there is a slack rope, the Display will show the word “Slack”
on it.

9. CHAIN COMPENSATION
9.1. New advanced Chain Compensation
The New Generation (NG) of Load Weighing Devices has the newest software for chain
compensation. It offers several options to improve the accuracy to compensate for the weight of the
chain. In this Submenu, the user can choose between three options, no compensation, software
compensation and hardware compensation.

Hold Input must be wired to use the Software Chain compensation Function. (See Hold Function Section 11.1)

9.2. Submenu Chain

ChCEL: Nominal Chain load cell sensibility. This value is
calculated when C_Bot or C_top operation is done. User
shouldn´t modify this value. ( If this parameter is modified the
previous calibration settings will be overwritten)( only applies to
Hardware compensation).

C_Sof: Chain load value compensated by software estimation in

selected units

Time 1: Starting Time to hold the weight before Hold input is

activated. It is an optional correction on installations where the Hold
Input is activated too fast. (Units are tenths of seconds). (Default
Recommended Value: 2 (0.2secs)).
(only applies when hold input is connected).
Time 2: Delay time to release hold weight after Hold input is
deactivated. It is an optional correction on installations where the Hold
Input is deactivated too fast. (Units are tenths of seconds). (Default
Recommended Value: 4 (0.4secs)).
(only applies when hold input is connected)

12
 OMEGAng

T1 and T2 options are only shown if is set to SOFT compensation. See Section
10 , Hold Function to adjust these parameters.

9.3. Chain Compensation Adjust

The NG Series has new advanced chain compensation. To use all the features of new

compensation is necessary to adjust some parameters in Menu.

There are two types of compensation.

 Software chain compensation: When selected, the unit compensates the chain with hold signal
activations/ deactivations.

Note: and parameters must be set to use the Software Chain compensation.

 Hardware chain compensation: When selected, the unit compensates the chain with the on
real time weight of the chain. This can be done using the auxiliary Load Cell input for chain

compensation and adjusting the parameters for hardware compensation.

Note: To deactivate all chain compensations just set Type parameter to none.

Set Type to value.

9.3.1.Software Compensation
This function compensates the weighting difference between floors produced by the extra
weight of the chain and the travelling cables. The unit needs the HOLD signal to be active when
the doors closed to compensate the weight during the elevator movement.

To configure the software compensation:

Set Type to SoFT value.

Set the estimated weight of the chain. This parameter will be the maximum value compensated
by software compensation

In this parameter you can check the value the OMEGAng is compensating by software each
time the HOLD signal is deactivated

When using software compensation, Auto_Zero compensation will be activated automatically.

13
 OMEGAng

9.3.2.Hardware Compensation
In some installations with many landings, software chain compensations does not work
well due to friction in the rails between floors, weight changes during long elevator travels, or
auto_zero does not occur because elevator never stops.

These problems can be solved with Hardware compensation.

It is mandatory to plug an auxiliary Sensor when hardware compensation is selected.

A dedicated Load Cell for chain compensation is needed. Otherwise Err11 will flash in the
display.

A system Configuration (Section 7) must be done previous to set the Hardware

compensation parameters.

Set Type to Hard value

Take the elevator to the ground floor and set C_Bot To Yes. A Countdown will start.

Take the elevator to the Top floor and set C_TOP To Yes. A Countdown will start

In this parameter you can check the value the OMEGAng is compensating by hardware with
the chain load cell

10. Auto-Zeroing Compensation

The Auto_Zero compensation is designed to automatically remove small measurement errors

lower than parameter

ng
The Auto-Zero function will happen whenever the OMEGA detects a total unload of the

elevator and measures a static offset of ± for a period of at least 60 seconds. During this
time the measured load must not change by more than ±20kg.

To eliminate the Auto_Zero compensation, a Zero operation should be done.

If is set to “00000” Auto_Zero compensation will

be automatically disabled.

14
 OMEGAng

11. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

11.1. Hold function

During the elevator travel, the measured loads can greatly fluctuate due to friction in the rails,
cab and load movements, etc. The Hold Input prevents the control from measuring the load
while the elevator is travelling, This ensures that the movement of the cabin will not affect the
weighing process and therefore, no alarms or relay will be activated during elevator travel.

How Hold Input Function works:

 When a voltage in the range 24-125V (DC or AC) is applied in this input, the unit holds the
last stable measurement of weight acquired.
 The voltage must be applied when the doors close and it must be removed as the doors
open.

This ensures that the movement of the cabin will not affect the weighing process and therefore,
no alarms or relay will be activated during elevator travel.
ng
The OMEGA unit has an internal register that stores all previous weighting measures of the last
3 seconds. As some installations sets the HOLD input at the same time the doors closes, it may happen
that the last measure obtained could not be as stable as desired. The same issue might happen when
removing the HOLD input as the doors Open

To improve the hold of a stable measure two parameters have been added at CHAIN menu

and .

As some installations sets the HOLD input at the same time it closes the doors, sometimes the
last measure obtained is not as stable as desire. The same issue can happen when removing the HOLD
input and the doors Open.

 Time in tenth of seconds to take the measure before the HOLD signal is active.

 Time in tenth of seconds to update the measure after the HOLD signal is released.
Note: For example; With T_1 set at 10 and T2 set at 15:
ng
When the hold signal is activated, then the OMEGA will take as a valid load measurement the
value that was stored 1 second before HOLD signal was activated. Then when HOLD input is released,
the first stable load value will be taken 1.5 seconds after the hold signal is deactivated.

This option offers great flexibility to resolve problems in some critical installations.

11.2. Cabin Display (Optional)

It provides two types of output depending on the Cabin Display (CDISP)

parameter:

15
 OMEGAng

LED Indicator: Under overload it will be an intermittent

voltage of 5V (max. 75mA) with the polarity shown in the
figure.
LED Incremental Progressive display MB-D is used (two wire
connection with polarity) (Requires an external MB-D unit).

12. ANALOG OUTPUT

The unit is provided with two analog outputs (Voltage and current output). Both Outputs are
active and operative at same time.

Analog_High: Set the Load value desired (kg or Lb) To

deliver the maximum analog output ( 10v or 20 ma)

Analog_Low: Set the Load value desired (kg or Lb) to deliver

the minimum analog output ( 0v, 0ma or 4 ma)

Type of current output: Set the desired current output range.

It can be configured as 4-20 or 0-20 ma.

This function reflects the Display measure over the range between analog Low and analog High
values.

17. WIRE ROPE TENSION ADJUSTMENT

This section explains how to check the tension of all wire ropes of the installation. All ropes
should carry the same tension. Equally tensioned ropes improve ride quality and extend life of ropes and
sheaves.

Nowadays most elevator systems have multiple wire ropes attached to the cabin and
counterweight. This ropes normally run over a traction sheave or pulley just to move the cabin up and
down the hoistway.

When some ropes have more tension than other, the ropes with lower tension will slide over the
pulley and can produce a crown groove wear at the sheave. It is possible to detect this wear by rope
slapping, vibrations on the cables, or metal dust on the pulley.

Normally, the system works better if all the ropes have similar tension (about ± 5%) of the
nominal load of the installation.

Although some installers manage to adjust the rope tension manually just touching the ropes or

Just tuning the installation plucking each rope as a harp string, the best way to do this operation is
measuring the load on all the ropes and displaying it in real time.

Usually Load weighing devices manufactures have dedicated and expensive tools to do this
operations.
ng
But the OMEGA , can be used not only as a good Load Weighing device but as an additional
low cost rope tension balancing tool also.

And as the unit will be installed for life you will have a permanent tool to adjust wire rope tension
and detect slack ropes at the installation in real time.

17.1 Wire Rope Tension checking Tool

The only tool needed to adjust the wire rope tension is the WRCTNG dongle and a Smartphone a
tablet or a laptop. Then from the rope tension screen you will visualize the load of each rope in real time
Now it is possible to adjust the tension of each rope to make then equal.

accomplish the desired target. To enter this mode just push Start label

Following the suggested steps, you can apply the precise load to each rope to perform the whole
"wire rope tension" process, just in a few minutes.

Now, you can check the final result of the adjustment process.
