I have the phones programmed to call the right number but the phone redials too quickly. The phone is dialing a call center, and while on hold the phone redials the number before someone can answer the phone. If someone picks up the phone in time, the call works fine and it doesnt hangup or redial. Ring count, and disconnect timeout are both set to maximum, want to know if there is any other setting that I can adjust, thanks!

when I connect to a 5500 unit using the Cadi GC, do I need to log in using the controller's password? The controller password (LOGIN) is ABCD; what is the password for the Cadi? The system number, etc., does not work.

It’s a 2 car group, that I recently loaded all the files from TK onto the CPU, w/Hyper Terminal. After doing so, I cannot see the car in IMS. Tried swapping CPUs, reloading files and still having the same issue. I also tried it with the group connection (CON36) unplugged and still nothing. Tried deleting and remaking the network and group, nothing. I can hook the group connection back up and see the other car, and hook up to the other car from the down cars CPU. Anyone ever had this issue or might be able to help me out?

Will raising or lowering the elevator to align with the nearest floor reset the error code and continue normal elevator operations?

We have always done estops and sanded the high spots by hand but this can take a LONG time. new equipment generally doesn't have this problem,but old equipment does. Especially when retaining a machine on mod where it no longer stops on the brake. We often have to upgrade lining material to help with ETS. In this instance brake stand has been shimmed but lining contact is not great even after dozens of estops and sandingby hand. Just looking if someone has better method.i talked to an old timer and he said they would put balanced load in a car and take the brake arms off @mid rise, glue sand paper on the drum and then rotate the machine by hand.... Sounds like a good idea but maybe not up to today's safety standards.

Due to the parking setting being active it is running excessively and trips an overload after about 50 runs. Would anyone have a parameters list for this old dog? Also the prints are missing so if anyone had something that would be AMAZING! I have some info similar to an stall print for wiring it up in the field buy nothing for troubleshooting. TIA

I’m having persistent issues with this fault in many places I go. I ask because I’m having multiple cars begin to have 1059 encoder recal error.

Tac5004

Verified pos encoder input while bumping car on insp 1fpm via ioc, changed encoder, resat connections, cleaned gov sheave, and then changed ioc as per ITS. Ran hw scan on 15 fpm and count will hold until I take of DD and a passenger uses it, count will begin to take a Crap

One car the encoder board change worked.

Another car after I replaced ioc and still the issue persisted. cleaned the gov sheave it worked 2 weeks and came back. Replaced the encoder in that one and still happening

Another car takes a Crap immediately after hw scan.

A job I’m at today has a 1059 error. Wtf is my life


I don’t know what to do. ITS said encoder, IOC, cpu.. but cpu failing on all these cars I doubt it.
