The elevator runs during the second and third stage of self-commissioning may be commanded using the service tool interface to the controller. It is also possible, and may be preferable, to use the service tool to set up the controller to cycle the elevator up and down automatically. Allow for a 15 second interval between runs, and make sure that the elevator reaches full contract speed for at least 3-5 seconds during the run. The elevator controller may be set to ‘Inspection” to temporarily halt the cycling, for example when it is time to save the service tool parameters (this is further described in the step by step procedure).
