1. DESCRIPTION AND MAIN FEATURES

Dinacell OMEGA 804 is a control unit to measure, monitor and limit the load of a
elevator besides to monitor the tension of each elevator rope individually.

This system consists of inputs for up to eight sensors and the following inputs and
outputs to interface with the elevator controller: output for display in the cabin,
four relay contacts to inform of the load levels chosen and one input to hold
function, that inhibit load measure during the elevator travel.

5. HOW TO CHECK OR MODIFY PARAMETERS

Once inside menu and display showing the parameter to be viewed or changed:
 Press to check the current value.
 Press to enter to modify the value:
∙ Press to chose the digit to change (blinking) and to change it.
(if there’s no digit blinking, change the value with button directly).
∙ Press twice to save the value.

If button is not pressed the second time before display blink

ends, the changes will not be stored.

After any of these operations, the display shows the current parameter.

7. TYPES OF CONFIGURATION DEPENDING ON THE APPLICATION

This system has two modes of working:
a) can be used to adjust ropes tension (WRT)
b) can be used as a load weighing device (LWD).

The operation sets the zero when sensors are not installed on the ropes.
After this, the ropes tension can be measured and adjusted individually.

IREF operation is not available for TCA sensor

8. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
8.1. HOLD FUNCTION
When a voltage in the range 24-230V (DC or AC) is applied in this input, the unit
stops to measure and the last value of weight acquired will be shown in display.

The voltage must be applied when the doors close and the it must be removed
when the doors open. This ensures that the movement of the cabin will not affect
the weighing process and therefore, no relay will be activated during elevator
travel.

Also, when the doors are closed, since no more people will be entering in the
cabin, there is no reason to continue the weighing process. When the doors open,
voltage must be removed from the hold input so that the unit can begin
measuring the load in the cabin.

8.2. CHAIN COMPENSATION

This function allows to compensate the difference of weight between floors
produced by the compensation chain.
The unit needs the HOLD signal active when the doors close to compensate the
weight during the elevator movement.

How to set the chain compensation weight (Max. 200 kg):
