Fuji Elevator Contactor SC-E7 DC110V AC110V 2NO2NC: Usage Guide, Replacement Cycle & Trusted Supply from Nanjing Zhuye

Proper Usage Methods of Fuji SC-E7 Contactor

1. Pre-Installation Preparation

2. Installation & Wiring Setup

• Contactor Installation:
  • Access the control cabinet (located in the machine room or hoistway) and locate the designated mounting position for the contactor. Disconnect the old contactor (if replacing) by labeling and removing power wires (line and load terminals) and control wires (coil terminals)—take photos of the wiring configuration to ensure accurate reinstallation. Clean the mounting surface with compressed air to remove dust or debris that could hinder heat dissipation.
  • Secure the new SC-E7 contactor to the mounting rail (DIN rail compatible) using the integrated clips or provided screws (torque to 1.2–1.8 Nm) for stable positioning. Ensure proper spacing (minimum 4cm from adjacent components) to allow airflow and prevent overheating, especially in compact control cabinets.
• Wiring Configuration:
  • Connect power wires to the 2NO (normally open) and 2NC (normally closed) terminals—ensure wires are properly stripped (8–10mm) and tightened to Fuji’s specified torque (2.0–2.5 Nm) to prevent loose connections and electrical arcing. For the coil terminals (marked A1/A2), connect control wires matching the contactor’s voltage rating (DC110V or AC110V) from the elevator’s control circuit—verify polarity for DC-rated coils to avoid coil damage.
  • Double-check wiring against the elevator’s schematic diagram and the contactor’s terminal markings. Ensure NO/NC contacts are correctly assigned to power and signal circuits, and secure all connections with cable ties to prevent vibration-induced damage. Avoid routing power wires and control wires in parallel to minimize electromagnetic interference.
• Functional Testing:
  • Conduct comprehensive tests (by certified technicians only) after installation:
    • Coil Activation Test: Apply the rated voltage (DC110V/AC110V) to the control circuit and verify the contactor engages with a clear “click”—use a multimeter to confirm continuity on NO contacts and open circuit on NC contacts when activated (and vice versa when deactivated).
    • Switching Performance Test: Operate the elevator through key cycles (e.g., door opening/closing, floor selection, safety interlock activation) to ensure the contactor switches reliably without hesitation or arcing.
    • Overload Test: Simulate maximum load conditions for connected components to confirm thermal protection functions properly and the contactor does not overheat (surface temperature should remain ≤75°C).
  • Document installation details, wiring configurations, and test results in maintenance records to demonstrate compliance with Fuji’s service requirements.

3. Routine Usage Maintenance

• Weekly Visual Inspections: Check for loose wires, damaged terminals, or signs of arcing (blackening on contact points or housing). Remove dust from the contactor and surrounding area with compressed air—avoid using water or chemical cleaners that could corrode components.
• Monthly Functional Checks: Use a multimeter to test coil resistance (should match Fuji’s specifications: ~500–600Ω for DC110V coils, ~800–900Ω for AC110V coils) and contact continuity. Verify the contactor engages and disengages smoothly without sticking.
• Quarterly Contact Inspection: Remove the contactor cover (if applicable) and inspect the 2NO/2NC contact points for wear, pitting, or oxidation. Clean lightly with a Fuji-approved dry cloth if needed—replace the contactor if wear exceeds 0.8mm or pitting is severe.
• Semi-Annual Coil Inspection: Check coil windings for fraying, overheating, or moisture damage. Ensure coil connections are tight and free from corrosion, which can cause voltage drops and premature failure.
• Annual System Integration Test: Test the contactor’s interaction with other elevator components (e.g., safety interlocks, door sensors, control relays) to ensure synchronized operation and safety compliance—verify that NO/NC contacts switch as intended during normal and emergency scenarios.

Recommended Replacement Cycle

1. Standard Replacement Cycle

2. Signs That Require Immediate Replacement

• Switching Failures: Contactor fails to engage/disengage, sticks in one position, or switches intermittently—causing malfunctions in connected components (e.g., door control, safety interlocks).
• Electrical Arcing: Visible sparks, burning odors, or discoloration during switching—indicates worn contact points or arc-suppression failure.
• Physical Damage: Cracked housing, bent terminals, or damaged coil windings—compromising electrical safety and performance.
• Performance Degradation: Increased contact resistance (measured via multimeter), coil overheating (excessive warmth), or frequent tripping of protective devices.
• Safety Compromise: Contactor fails to activate/deactivate safety interlocks during emergency stops—violating Fuji’s safety standards and posing risks to passengers or maintenance personnel.

3. Maintenance to Extend Service Life

• Environmental Control: Keep the control cabinet clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Install cabinet heaters or dehumidifiers if humidity exceeds 85% to prevent coil corrosion.
• Power Stabilization: Install surge protectors and voltage regulators in the control circuit to shield the contactor from voltage spikes and transients.
• Minimize Unnecessary Switching: Avoid frequent elevator testing or idle operation that increases contactor wear—optimize elevator usage schedules where possible.
• Use Genuine Parts Only: For replacements, rely exclusively on authentic Fuji SC-E7 contactors from Nanjing Zhuye. Counterfeit contactors use inferior materials, inadequate arc suppression, or incorrect voltage ratings—compromising performance, safety, and Fuji’s warranty coverage.
