elevator speed is 110 percent of Rated Speed. [For Class C2 landing,
comply with ASME A17.1 Section 2.16.2.2.4 for freight elevators. The
maximum load on car platform during loading or unloading shall not exceed
150 percent of rated load.]
3.2.2.4
Leveling Tests
Test elevator car leveling devices for landing accuracy of plus or minus 6
mm 1/4 inch at each floor with no load in car, symmetrical load in car, and
with rated load in car in both directions of travel. Determine accuracy of
floor landing both before and immediately after endurance tests. [For
Class C2 landing, comply with ASME A17.1 Section 2.16.2.2.4 for freight
elevators. The maximum load on car platform during loading or unloading
shall not exceed 150 percent of rated load.]
3.2.2.5
Pressure Tests
Check operating pressure at pump and cylinder head under no load and rated
load. Test pressure at which relief valve operates.
3.2.2.6
Perform tests to ensure wiring systems free from short circuits and
grounds. Minimum acceptable insulation resistance for electrical
conductors is one megohm between each conductor and ground and between each
conductor and other conductors. Prior to megohm meter test, make provision
to prevent damage to the electronic devices.
3.2.2.7
Temperature Rise Tests
Determine the temperature rise of the hydraulic pump motor during the full
load test run for a minimum of one hour. Under these conditions, do not
exceed maximum acceptable temperature rise indicated on the manufacturer's
data plate. Start test only when equipment is within 5 degrees C of
ambient temperature.
3.2.2.8
Motor Ampere Tests
Measure and record motor amperage when motor is running and elevator is
lifting at rated load and speed. Measure and record motor amperage at the
beginning and the end of Endurance test.
3.3
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE TRAINING
The Elevator Specialist shall train Government personnel in care,
adjustment, and maintenance of elevator equipment for a period of not less
than [5] [_____] working days immediately following acceptance of system.
The Contractor shall submit Operation and Maintenance Manuals as required
in the Submittals paragraph.
