Troubleshooting Procedures for UC1, UC1A, UC2, UC2AB44

Important Note

The information provided here is for use by skilled hydraulic elevator professionals. The possible problems and causes are listed in order of likelihood and ease of checking. Before disassembly of the valve, please make sure that you have powered down by turning off the main disconnect switch, and that the elevator is resting on the bumpers (zero system pressure). The first section of the guide deals with the “up” section, while the second deals with “down.”

It is important to use the following reference materials in conjunction with the troubleshooting procedures:

Up Section

Pump Runs, Car Does Not Move

  • Check valve for proper sizing in accord with adjustment instruction.
  • Make sure gate valves are open in system as required.
  • If car is resting on bumpers,make sure main down piston is not open by manually closing it with the D (Down speed)adjuster.Turn D (Down speed)adjuster in clockwise (CW)to stop,then back out counterclockwise (CCW)to it’s normal position (count number of turns in and out to avoid lengthy adjustment).
  • Turn US (Up Stop)adjuster in (CW)fully.
    (1)If car moves,check for proper voltage to coils.
    (2)If voltage is correct,remove US solenoid assembly.Visually inspect parts for foreign material and /or damage.Ball cage must operate freely within the solenoid tube.
    (3)If car does not move,repeat procedure with UT (Up Transition)adjuster and U solenoid assembly.
    -Remove BPS closure and piston.Examine piston ring for debris and /or damage,it must expand after it has been manually compressed. Clean or free if necessary. Check piston ring for ring groove wear. Make sure the large recycle spring grips the shoulder of the piston tightly.

Slow Up Acceleration

  • Turn UA (Up Acceleration)adjuster out (CCW).
  • Check belts and pulleys on pump and motor to make sure they
    are not slipping.
  • Remove control block and check up control fluid strainer for
    lint.If clogged,remove debris (in this case oil in the system
    must be filtered).
  • Check relief valve for proper setting.Refer to Adjustment Procedures.
  • Turn UT (Up Transition)and US (Up Stop)adjusters in (CW)fully. If car then accelerates properly,check both U and US solenoid assemblies
    for damage to seats, debris and free movement of ball cage.
  • Check motor for proper HP rating and line voltage for excessive voltage drop.

Up Acceleration Rough

  • Check jack packing and guide shoes for excessive tightness.
  • Check valve for proper sizing.

Up Speed Slow

  • Check belts and pulleys on pump and motor to make sure they are not slipping.
