Otis Elevator 64KN Steel Belt Detection Device AAD21700AC2: Usage Guide, Replacement Cycle & Trusted Supply from Nanjing Zhuye

Proper Usage Methods of Otis 64KN Steel Belt Detection Device AAD21700AC2

1. Pre-Installation Preparation

2. Installation & Operation Steps

• Mounting the Detection Device:
  • Locate the designated installation position near the steel belt sheaves (in the machine room) or on the elevator car frame—aligned with the steel belts to ensure direct sensor contact. The mounting surface must be flat, stable, and capable of withstanding vibration during elevator operation.
  • Secure the AAD21700AC2 to the mounting bracket using high-strength bolts (provided), torquing them to the manufacturer’s recommended value (6–8 Nm) to prevent loosening. Position the tension sensors to make consistent contact with the steel belts (avoid over-compression, which can damage belts or sensors).
• Wiring Connection:
  • Follow the wiring diagram provided by Otis or Nanjing Zhuye to connect the device to the elevator’s main control system, alarm panel, and power supply:
    • Connect the power wires (typically 24V DC) to the designated terminals, ensuring correct polarity to avoid component burnout.
    • Attach the signal wires to the control panel: Tension deviation signals trigger visual/audio alarms; severe wear or belt breakage signals initiate emergency shutdown (elevator leveling to nearest floor).
    • Route wiring away from moving parts (e.g., sheaves, belt tensioners) and high-temperature components to prevent mechanical damage or insulation melting. Use cable ties to secure loose wires.
• Calibration & Functional Testing:
  • Power on the device and initiate calibration via the elevator’s diagnostic panel or Otis-approved software:
    • Set the baseline tension value (per Otis’s 64KN steel belt specifications) to establish normal operating parameters.
    • Calibrate wear detection thresholds: The device should alert when belt thickness decreases by more than 10% (industry safety standard) or surface cracks are detected.
  • Conduct comprehensive tests:
    • Adjust steel belt tension slightly to simulate deviation—verify the device triggers an alarm within 2 seconds.
    • Use a wear simulation tool (provided by Otis) to test wear detection—confirm the device logs the fault and notifies the control system.
    • Simulate a belt breakage scenario (by disconnecting a test sensor) to ensure the elevator enters emergency shutdown mode safely.

3. Routine Usage Maintenance

• Conduct weekly visual inspections: Check for sensor alignment with steel belts, loose mounting bolts, or debris accumulation on sensors. Clean sensors with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust or oil.
• Test detection functionality monthly: Verify tension measurement accuracy using a calibrated tool and ensure alarms trigger correctly. Document results in maintenance records.
• Inspect wiring connections quarterly for corrosion, wear, or looseness; tighten terminals or replace damaged cables with genuine Otis parts from Nanjing Zhuye.
• Calibrate the device semi-annually to account for minor sensor drift—use Otis’s recommended calibration procedure or consult Nanjing Zhuye’s technical team.

Recommended Replacement Cycle

1. Standard Replacement Cycle

2. Signs That Require Immediate Replacement

• Failed detection: The device does not alert to tension deviations or wear, even after calibration and sensor cleaning.
• False alarms: Frequent, unresolvable alerts that disrupt normal operation, despite verified steel belt integrity.
• Physical damage: Cracked sensor housings, bent brackets, water intrusion, or corrosion that impairs sensor contact with steel belts.
• Communication failure: Inability to transmit signals to the elevator control system, indicated by unlogged faults or no alarm activation.
• Sensor degradation: Tension measurement error exceeds ±5% of the calibrated value, even after recalibration.

3. Maintenance to Extend Service Life

• Maintain the machine room at a stable temperature (10–35°C) and low humidity (30–60%) to prevent sensor corrosion and electronic component damage.
• Apply a thin layer of anti-corrosion lubricant to mounting brackets annually (if installed in harsh environments) to prevent rust.
• Ensure steel belts are properly maintained (cleaned, lubricated, and tensioned per Otis’s guidelines) to reduce wear on the device’s sensors.
• Use only genuine replacement parts and accessories from Nanjing Zhuye for repairs, as counterfeit devices may have inaccurate sensors or incompatible wiring.
