4.9.3 Pipe rupture valve test

A precondition for testing the pipe−rupture valve is that the lift must be
working properly, without any faults.

DANGER!
Uncontrolled descent (free fall)
Leads to death or serious injuries.
Before testing the pipe−rupture valve, make sure that there
are no people or materials in the lift shaft.

Preparing to test the pipe rupture valve

1. Load the car to half of its rated capacity

2. Drive the car to the top floor

Note: Do not carry out the test if the car is too close to the lowest floor.
C−LRV, VF−LRV, VFC−LRV:
3. Prepare the Handterminal

Test of pipe rupture valve is prepared

Testing the pipe−rupture valve (for DELCON software version 2.110

or higher, with Handterminal (all LRV−types) or Miniterminal (LRV−1,
LRV−1PM))

NOTICE!
Uncontrolled descent (free fall)
Can cause damage to the support frame and car.
The elevator car must come to rest within 35metres.
If it does not, immediately release the +−key of the Hand-
terminal/ ↵−key of the Miniterminal (LRV−1, LRV−1PM).
Resolve the problem and repeat the test.

If the Handterminal is being used:

1. On the Handterminal, select the Pipe rupture" function in the In-
formation (4) menu under Commands"
If the Miniterminal is being used (LRV−1, LRV−1PM):
1. Continue with step3

If the Handterminal is being used:

2. Press and hold the + key on the Handterminal; the DOWN LED on
the DELCON will start to flash

DELCON Operation

4. Send DOWN command

5. Wait until the car is accelerating

6. When the triggering speed is reached, the pipe rupture valve closes
and travel stops.
If the Handterminal is being used:
Note: Releasing the + key on the Handterminal stops the travel, and the
maximum feedback value is displayed. If the DOWN command is still
present on quitting the menu, travel will resume normally.
If the Miniterminal is being used (LRV−1, LRV−1PM):
Note: Releasing the ↵key on the Miniterminal stops the travel, and the
maximum feedback value is displayed. If the DOWN command is still
present on quitting the menu, travel will resume normally.
Note: Pipe rupture valves do not close completely leakage free.
In case of a simulated pipe rupture, as described in this test procedure,
the leakage causes the pipe between the pipe rupture valve and the lift
control valve to assume the same pressure as the hydraulic cylinder after
a certain time.
This pressure compensation causes the automatic reopening of the pipe
rupture valve.
This does not impede the safe function of the pipe rupture valve in case
of an actual pipe rupture, since in case of an actual pipe rupture the pipe
between the rupture valve and the lift control valve would remain pres-
sure−less, the pressure compensation would not occur.
If the pipe rupture valve is meant to remain closed after the test, the pipe
between the rupture valve and the lift control valve must remain pres-
sure−less, e.g. by continuous pressing of the manual emergency lower-
ing valve.

The pipe−rupture valve has been successfully tested

7. In order to reopen the pipe rupture valve and make the lift ready for
service: build up pressure using the hand pump or carry out an UP
travel

The system is once again ready for use
