3.1.3. Liftmedia-P Paralel Mode Input Signals G0 G1 G2 G3 G4 G5

Floor position signals. Up to 64 stops are supported.

Gray/Binary code: 6 inputs are used between G0 (bit 0, LSB) .. G5 (bit 5, MSB).

Arkel M1 counter: 2 inputs G0 (817) and G1(M1) are used. This method can be used for Arkel M1 counting system and counting types which are not supported by LiftMedia (e.g. 7-segment). A signal which counts floors should be connected to M1 and a signal which only gives the bottom floor information (pre-final detector signal) should be connected to 817. When M1 counter mode is used, in case the mains power failures, the position of car cannot be kept in device’s memory. To make the system learn the position of car again, the elevator must be moved to the bottom floor.

31 32

Moving down and moving up signals.

41 42

Collecting down and collecting up signals. Only needed when LiftMedia is used as a hall indicator and collection is done.

DD Ding-dong signal. This signal should be changed for making a floor announcement when car reaches to a floor level.

I1 Car light signal. Car light output must be connected to input I1 (max. 28Vdc) to be able to turn off the TFT backlight after the car light turns off. Making this connection will significantly increase the life of the screen.

02 Out of service signal. 804 Overloaded signal. Only needed when LiftMedia is used as a car indicator. YAN Fire alert signal. DEP Earthquake alert signal.

13. Troubleshooting Problem Images appear on the screen but the floor indicator or up/down arrows do not appear

Possible solution

a) For LiftMedia-P: The operating mode should be selected using the menu buttons (see chapter 4.2. Time, Date and Input Mode Settings for LiftMedia-P)

Also ensure that the connection is correct, terminals GCOM and ICOM should be connected to +24Vdc or 0V (see chapter 3.1.2. Liftmedia-P Electrical Connections)

b) For LiftMedia-S: These information is taken from CANbus serial interface. Check CANbus connection.

Problem LiftMedia works but after a while backlight turns off and the screen gets black

Possible solution

If you selected one of the options for turning off the backlight with car light in the “Settings” menu of LiftMedia Designer tool:

a) For LiftMedia-P: You must connect the car light output to input I1. b) For LiftMedia-S: The car light status information is taken from CANbus serial interface

and the backlight is turned-off after car-light with the adjusted delay.

If you do not want to use this feature, select “never” option in the “Settings” menu in your project and recompile the project. Please note that selecting this option will significantly reduce the lifetime of your screen.

Problem LiftMedia works but there is no sound. Possible solution

Check your loudspeaker connection. Also check the “Music volume” and “Sound muted between hours” settings in the “Settings” menu of LiftMedia Designer tool.

Problem Some images assigned for a signal display do not appear

Possible solution

The full black color (RGB= 0, 0, 0) is accepted as transparent for signal display images. In this way, it is possible to use images in different shapes except from rectangular for signal displays. If there is some region in black color in your image which you don’t want to appear as transparent, paint these black regions to a little more lighter. To do this, you may use any image processing software.

Problem Some of video files cannot be compiled
