Elevator DO3000/DO2000/AT120 Door Operator Belt Buckle: Secure Fastening Core from Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts

Step-by-Step Usage Guide for Elevator DO3000/DO2000/AT120 Door Operator Belt Buckle

1. Professional Installation & Commissioning

• Safety Preparation: Cut off the elevator’s main power supply and the power supply of the door operator system, and hang a “Maintenance in Progress—Do Not Power On” sign at the power switch. Lock the elevator door in the open state using a safety bracket to prevent accidental door closure. Locate the belt fastening position on the door operator, and clean the area to remove dust, oil stains, and debris that may affect the clamping effect.
• Buckle Installation: First, adjust the door operator belt to the appropriate tension (refer to the door operator’s technical manual). Insert the belt end into the clamping slot of the DO3000/DO2000/AT120 belt buckle, ensuring the belt is closely attached to the anti-slip gasket inside the buckle (no deviation or wrinkling). Fix the buckle to the door operator’s belt fixing base using high-strength bolts provided by Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts. The tightening torque must comply with the corresponding door operator’s requirements (typically 15–20 N·m for DO3000/DO2000, 12–18 N·m for AT120) to ensure sufficient clamping force.
• Tension Calibration: After installing the buckle, manually push the elevator door to open and close completely to check if the belt runs smoothly without slipping. Use a tension meter to detect the belt tension—ensure it is within the standard range (20–30 N for DO3000/DO2000 door operator belts, 18–25 N for AT120). If the tension is insufficient or excessive, adjust the buckle’s position or the door operator’s tensioner appropriately.
• Post-Installation Testing: Restore the power supply and conduct comprehensive functional tests. Operate the elevator door to open and close repeatedly (at least 20 cycles) to check if the belt remains firmly fixed, with no displacement or slipping. Listen for abnormal noise in the door operator area—if there is squeaking or clicking, recheck the buckle’s clamping state and the belt’s engagement with the pulley immediately.

2. Daily Operation & Routine Inspection

• Daily Visual Inspection: During elevator maintenance, check the external state of the DO3000/DO2000/AT120 belt buckle through the door operator inspection window. Ensure the buckle body is free of cracks, deformation, or corrosion; check if the fixing bolts are tight (no looseness); confirm the belt is closely attached to the buckle, with no signs of slipping or wear at the clamping position.
• Weekly Functional Check: Operate the elevator door to open and close at different speeds (normal speed, inspection speed) and observe the belt’s operation state. If the door opens/closes unevenly, or there is a delay in door movement, it may be caused by loose buckles or insufficient clamping force—inspect and retighten the buckle immediately.
• Monthly Parameter Monitoring: Use a torque wrench to recheck the tightening torque of the buckle’s fixing bolts (ensure it remains within the standard range). Check the wear degree of the anti-slip gasket inside the buckle—if the gasket is severely worn or falls off, replace it with a genuine gasket provided by Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts in a timely manner.

3. Regular Maintenance Schedule

• Quarterly Maintenance: Disconnect the power supply, remove the belt buckle, and clean its surface and clamping slot with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris. Apply a small amount of anti-rust oil (for metal buckles) to the fixing bolts to prevent corrosion. Reinstall the buckle and retighten the bolts according to the specified torque. Check the belt’s wear at the clamping position—trim or replace the belt if there is obvious wear.
• Semi-Annual Performance Test: Conduct a comprehensive performance test, including the buckle’s clamping force and structural integrity. Use a professional tensile tester to detect the clamping force (ensure it is not less than 80% of the initial value). For elevators in harsh environments (such as high humidity, high dust, or frequent door operation), increase the frequency of performance tests.
• Annual Professional Overhaul: Arrange a professional inspection with Nanjing Zhuye Elevatorparts’ certified technical team. Replace aging or worn belt buckles with genuine parts of the corresponding model (DO3000/DO2000/AT120). Inspect the door operator’s belt fixing base for wear or deformation that may affect the buckle’s performance, and repair or replace it if necessary.

Recommended Replacement Cycle for Elevator DO3000/DO2000/AT120 Door Operator Belt Buckle

1. Standard Replacement Cycle

2. Adjustments for Special Scenarios

• Harsh Environments: For elevators in high-humidity coastal areas (salt spray corrosion), high-dust construction sites, elevators with frequent door operation (more than 2,000 times per day), or environments with oil pollution, the replacement cycle should be shortened to 2–3 years. Harsh conditions accelerate the corrosion of the buckle body, wear of the anti-slip gasket, and loosening of the fixing bolts, significantly reducing the buckle’s reliability.
• Low-Frequency Use Scenarios: For elevators with low usage frequency (e.g., villa elevators, small office buildings with daily door opening/closing times < 300 times) and clean, dry environments, the replacement cycle can be appropriately extended to 4–5 years—only if Nanjing Zhuye’s professional inspection confirms that the buckle’s clamping force, structural integrity, and anti-slip performance are all intact.

3. Immediate Replacement Conditions

• The buckle body is cracked, deformed, or severely corroded, and cannot provide sufficient clamping force (clamping force < 60% of the initial value).
• The anti-slip gasket is severely worn, falls off, or loses elasticity, leading to frequent belt slipping during operation.
• The fixing bolts are stripped or damaged, and cannot be tightened, posing potential safety hazards of belt detachment.
• After maintenance and adjustment, the buckle still fails to fix the belt firmly, resulting in abnormal door operation (e.g., uneven door opening/closing, delayed response).
