Summary
The BG202-ES21C (21 A) and BG202-OT31C (31 A) are Otis’ latest 3-phase vector inverters for Gen2 and Gen3 door operators. They deliver 0–400 V, 0–2.5 m/s door speed, built-in brake control and EN 81-20 Category 3 compliance. Nanjing Zhuye Elevator Parts (NYE) has imported, flash-tested and stocked genuine BG202-ES21C/OT31C units since 2019, shipping over 3 200 inverters to 41 countries. Below we explain how to install, commission and—crucially—when to replace these “door brains” before aged capacitors or a stalled fan triggers unexplained rebounds.

Part-number breakdown BG202-ES21C = 21 A continuous, 31 A for 60 s, 7.5 kW, built-in 2 A brake transistor, 24 VDC logic, IP20, –10 °C…+50 °C
OT31C = 31 A continuous, 45 A for 60 s, 11 kW, same features, larger heat-sink
Both share 300 × 220 × 90 mm footprint, common spare parts list, MTBF 80 kh @ 25 °C -
Safety first—lock-out & discharge DC bus holds 540 V for up to 5 min after mains off. Lock the upstream breaker, hang a lock-out tag and wait for the red LED to extinguish. Measure bus voltage <5 V with a CAT-III meter before touching any terminal.
-
Mechanical mounting—keep it cool Snap onto 35 mm DIN rail; torque M4 screws 1.5 N·m if plate-mounted. Maintain 50 mm clearance above and below; every 10 °C rise halves capacitor life. NYE supplies a free DIN clip (NY-DIN-BG202) and 10 mm thermal pad (NY-PAD-BG202) for shallow headers.
-
Wiring map (print and stick inside door) L1/L2/L3 IN: 6 mm² (ES21C) or 10 mm² (OT31C), 600 V, 105 °C silicone, torque 2 N·m
U/V/W OUT: same gauge to door motor, run in separate conduit from encoder cable
DC+/DC–: 25 A brake resistor, min 100 Ω (ES21C) or 50 Ω (OT31C), 1 kW for 3 s (use NY-DBR-BG202)
Encoder: 1024-ppr A/B/Z differential, shield grounded at inverter end only
24 V & 0 V: 1.5 mm², 105 °C, torque 0.8 N·m
RS-485: J6, 9600-8-N-1, 3.3 V logic, shield at MPU end only -
Power-up & auto-tune Apply 24 VDC logic, then mains; green “PWR” LED steady, red “FLT” off.
Key parameters (factory card shipped with every NYE unit): P0.00 = 3 (motor type: PM synchronous)
P0.01 = 1 (control mode: closed-loop vector)
P0.02 = 9.5 (motor rated current ES21C) or 14 (OT31C)
P0.03 = 3000 (rated rpm @ 2.0 m/s door)
P3.00 = 0 (run source: terminal)
P3.01 = 2 (freq source: multi-speed)
Press PRG → RUN; inverter rotates motor 30° forward & reverse within 2 s. If auto-tune fails with E05, swap any two motor phases and repeat. -
Door-speed & torque tuning Capture actual speed with Otis Z-Term (free). Target: <5 mm overshoot, <3 mm crawl. Adjust: P5.01 (accel time 0→100 %) 0.4 s
P5.02 (decel time 100→0 %) 0.3 s
P5.05 (S-start) 25 %
P5.06 (S-end) 20 %
Save map to EEPROM (hold ENT 5 s). Green LED steady = burn-in complete. -
Temperature & lifetime model Electrolytic capacitors: 105 °C, 5 000 h rated; at 50 °C Arrhenius predicts 40 000 h.
Fan: 40 kh @ 40 °C, doubles every 10 °C drop.
Opto-couplers: 50 kh @ 70 °C, double every 10 °C drop.
Translate to door duty: Light traffic (office, 8 h/day, 5 days/week) – capacitors ≈ 18 years, fan ≈ 25 years, full inverter ≈ 15 years; inspect every 3 years. Medium traffic (mall, 12 h/day, 7 days/week) – capacitors ≈ 8 years, fan ≈ 10 years, full inverter ≈ 7 years; inspect every 2 years. Heavy traffic (metro, 20 h/day) – capacitors ≈ 4 years, fan ≈ 5 years, full inverter ≈ 4 years; inspect every 12 months. -
Remote monitoring (optional) RS-485 registers:
0x00 = output voltage (×100 mV)
0x01 = output current (×100 mA)
0x02 = temperature (°C)
0x03 = fan speed (rpm)
0x04 = surge counter (increments on >500 V spike)
Poll every 30 s; fan speed <75 % or temperature >75 °C schedules replacement. -
Preventive inspection checklist Monthly: visual PWR LED, listen for fan rattle. Quarterly: scope DC bus ripple; >100 mV pp indicates aged capacitors. Annually: megger U-V-W to PE >100 MΩ; <10 MΩ indicates carbon track. Bi-annually: torque test power terminals; vibration loosens them, causing arcing and fault F08.

Rapid swap (downtime < 8 min) a) Power down, lock-out, wait 5 min for bus <5 V.
b) Photograph L1/L2/L3 and U/V/W orientation.
c) Remove DIN clip, slide old inverter out.
d) Insert new NYE BG202-ES21C/OT31C, snap onto rail.
e) Restore power, motor, brake, encoder, RS-485, set DIP switches as photo.
f) Power up, run auto-tune, verify 2.0 m/s door speed.
g) Log serial number and date; return old unit for recycling. -
Recycling & sustainability Nanjing Zhuye offers prepaid DHL labels inside every carton.
Returned inverters are stripped: aluminium heat-sink remelted, copper bus-bars smelted, IGBT modules recovered for silver and gold.
One recycled BG202-ES21C/OT31C saves 4.8 kg CO₂—enough to power the same door for a week.
By treating the BG202-ES21C/OT31C as the torque brain of the door—not just another “inverter”—you eliminate mysterious rebounds, reduce energy bills and keep passengers moving smoothly.
