ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE UC1, UC1A, UC2, UC2AB44 - JANUARY 2009
THE INFORMATION PRESENTED HEREIN IS FOR USE BY SKILLED HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR PROFESSIONALS
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Make all adjustments at minimum pressure (no load on elevator) except where noted. “IN” is ALWAYS (CW) clockwise. “OUT” is ALWAYS (CCW)
counterclockwise. THE CONTROL BLOCK ADJUSTERS HAVE SEAL NUTS, NOT LOCK NUTS. Adjust nut only to set seal friction (friction will
maintain adjustment). When adjustment procedure calls for coils to be disconnected, disconnect them electrically. Do not remove them physically.
Make adjustments with a minimum oil temperature of 80˚ F, not to exceed 100˚ F maximum. Maxton recommends the use of a 5-micron filtration
system. With the presence of at least some adverse conditions in most installations, serious consideration should be given to overhaul or
replacement of a control valve on a five year cycle.
GAUGE PORTS: OPERATIONAL DATA:
Gauge ports 1/8 pipe size is provided at points A, B and S. Min. / Max. Pressure: 50-530 psi (3.4-36.5 bar)
A Port: Pump pressure (RELIEF, WORKING PRESSURE). Min. / Max. Rated Flow: 85-360 gpm (322-1363 l / min.)
B Port: Jack pressure (STATIC, DOWN RUNNING). Operating Temperature: 80˚-150˚ F (26˚-65˚ C)
S Port: Low pressure switch port. Optimal Temp. Range. 100˚-130˚ F (38˚-54˚ C)
Note: The minimum operating pressure at port B should be at least Oil Type: Hyd. ISO VG 32

When an up call is registered and the pump starts, the up solenoid (U) and the up stop solenoid (US) are
simultaneously energized closing the ball checks US and UT. The pump output flows through the up valve and
back to the reservoir.
Hydraulic fluid from the pump travels through the up strainer, to the up acceleration adjustment (UA), then the
control side of the up piston. The control side of the up piston is larger in area than the area of the up piston
exposed to the pump pressure; therefore, the up piston begins to move towards the up valve restricting the
opening in the up valve, raising the pump pressure. As the pump pressure increases above that on the jack
side of the check valve, the check valve is opened allowing fluid to flow to the jack cylinder causing the jack to
move in the up direction. The elevator then accelerates to full speed as the up piston closes the up valve.
Upon reaching a predetermined distance below the floor to which the car is traveling (2 inches for each 10 fpm
of car speed NOT to exceed 6 inches for every 25 fpm of car speed), the up solenoid (U) is de-energized,
allowing fluid from the control side of the up piston to flow through the up transition adjustment (UT), then to
the up leveling speed regulator (LS) orifice which is held open by a mechanical linkage attached to the check
valve. The control fluid then returns to the reservoir and the up piston moves toward the open position. As the
up piston moves, opening the up valve, hydraulic fluid begins flowing to the reservoir, reducing the pump
pressure. As the pump pressure is reduced, the check valve begins closing, also, partially closing the (LS)
orifice in the up leveling speed regulator.
When the flow through the (LS) orifice equals in quantity, the flow through the up acceleration adjustment (UA)
and the up leveling adjustment (UL), the car will be in leveling speed. Upon reaching a point slightly before the
floor (usually 3/8 of an inch to ¼ of an inch), the up stop solenoid (US) is de-energized. This allows fluid to flow
through the up stop adjustment (US), causing the up piston to fully open, permitting the total pump output to
flow to the reservoir, causing the car to stop. After the car comes to a complete stop, the pump motor is
electrically timed out and stops. If, during up movement, the car has been overloaded or hits an obstruction,
the fluid on the control side of the piston is evacuated to the reservoir through the relief valve, causing the up
piston to cycle open and by-pass the entire pump output.

OPERATING SEQUENCE UC1, UC1A, UC2, UC2AB44 - JANUARY 2009
CAR AT REST – SOLENOID COILS DE-ENERGIZED
The car at rest is held by a hydraulic fluid system locked in place by a check valve, solenoid pilot valves and a
manual-lowering valve.
DOWN DIRECTION
When a down call is registered, the down leveling solenoid (DL) and the down valve solenoid (D) are
simultaneously energized, allowing fluid from the control side of the piston and fluid from the down control
adjustments, down stop (DS) and down transition (DT), to flow through the down acceleration adjustment (DA)
and back to the reservoir. This reduces the pressure on the control side of the down piston. The pressure
acting on the area of the down piston exposed to the jack pressure causes the down piston to open the down
valve. The down valve will remain in the open position as long as the flow of control fluid passing through the
down acceleration adjustment (DA) exceeds the flow through the down transition (DT) and the down stop
adjustment (DS). The maximum down speed is controlled by a mechanical stop limiting the down piston travel
(adjustment D).
Upon reaching a predetermined distance above the floor to which the car is traveling (2 inches for every 10
fpm of car speed) the down solenoid (D) is de-energized. The fluid input to the control side of the down piston
from the jack continues, as the control side of the piston is larger in area than the area exposed to jack
pressure. This causes the down piston to start closing the down valve. A control rod follows the movement of
the piston, uncovering control porting and allowing fluid to flow through the down transition adjustment (DT),
stops the motion of the piston, placing the down valve in the leveling position. The rate of movement of the
down piston from the open position to the leveling position is controlled by the down transition (DT) adjustment.
Upon reaching a point slightly before floor level, (usually 3/8 of an inch to ¼ of an inch), the down solenoid (DL)
is de-energized, causing the fluid coming through the down transition (DT) and the down stop (DS) adjuster to
be diverted to the control side of the down piston, moving the down piston to the fully closed position of the
down valve.
The final closing rate of the down valve is controlled by the down stop adjustment (DS). Opening the down stop
adjustment (DS) will cause the car to stop more firmly, as control fluid is sent to the control side of the down
piston at a more rapid rate.
DOWN DIRECTION UC2 & UC2A
Constant down speed is controlled by the down speed regulator adjustment (DSR), which regulates the
movement of the down piston and down valve in the event of increased jack pressure. This continuous
regulation causes a constant rate of flow in the down direction from the jack through the down valve and back
to the reservoir regardless of varying loads on the elevator. With the above exception, the UC2 and UC2A
valves operate in general as the UC1 and UC1A valves.

UP SECTION
PUMP RUNS, CAR DOES NOT MOVE

• Check valve for proper sizing in accordance 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.
• Check relief valve for proper setting. Refer to Adjustment Procedures.
• Check motor for proper HP rating and line voltage for excessive voltage drop.
• 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).
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.
• Check relief valve for proper setting.
• Check motor for proper HP rating and line voltage for excessive voltage drop.
• Turn UT (Up Transition) adjuster in (CW). If this corrects the problem:

CAUTION:
UP SECTION (CONTINUED)
CAR OVERSHOOTS FLOOR

• Turn the UT (Up Transition) adjuster out (CCW) more.
• Check UL speed, 9-12 FPM
• Disconnect U and US coils, place call. Car should not move.
1. If car moves turn US adjuster out (CCW) more.
2. Reset BPS adjuster.
• Check hatch slow down switch and stopping circuit to make sure there is no delay (one second lost
means a three foot delay at 180 feet per minute).
• Remove the US solenoid assembly and check for foreign material and / or damage. Ball Cage must
operate freely within solenoid tube.
CAR STALLS OR LEVELING SPEED VARIES IN LEVELING ZONE

• Make sure the US (Up Stop) and U (Up) coils are connected in proper operating sequence. Refer to
Adjustment Procedure.
• Make sure the LS (Leveling Speed) adjuster dot is referenced to the line between F and S.
• Check Relief for proper setting.
• If car will not adjust using LS (Leveling Speed) adjuster, turn US (Up Stop) adjuster in (CW). Be sure to
count the number of turns for later readjustment. Then:
1. Check for proper coil voltage.
2. Remove the US solenoid assembly and check for foreign material and / or damage. Ball Cage
must operate freely within solenoid tube.
3. Replace solenoid seat.
4. Readjust US back to original position.
• 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.
HARSH UP STOP
• Turn US (Up Stop) adjuster in (CW) for smoother stop.
• Check that the pump continues to run after car has stopped for ½ second. As a check to determine
adequate pump time, turn US (Up Stop) adjuster (CW) all the way. Car should then level and stop
above the floor. If not, there is not enough pump time.
• Check jack and guide shoes for excessive tightness. If jack packing and guide shoes are in good
condition, a soft stop will be accomplished by following the standard Adjustment Procedure.
31
CAUTION:
• Before disassembly of the valve, make sure the power is off by turning the main disconnect switch off and that the
elevator is resting on the bumpers (zero system pressure).

33
CAUTION:
DOWN SECTION (CONTINUED)
CAR DRIFTS DOWN SLOWLY

• Send car to upper floor. Open main power disconnect switch.
• Close pit valve. If car still drifts, the leak is in the jack assembly.
• Back out seal nut on ML (Manual Lowering) screw one half turn. Turn ML screw in (CW) fully and
re-tighten seal nut to ensure a good seat.
• Turn DA (Down Acceleration) adjuster in clockwise (CW) fully. If leak stops, this indicates a leak at
the down solenoids. Replace D and DL solenoid seats. Refer to solenoid kit# 29292A.
• If leak is present, replace with valve exchange, new valve, or contact Maxton technical support.
ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE FOR UC2A (UC2)
FULL DOWN SPEED TOO SLOW

• In examining flow charts, the down flow capacity of the UC2A (UC2) valve is 10 percent less than
the UC1A (UC1) valve.
CAR DRIFTS DOWN SLOW

• Before dismantling the down section except when the problem is pinpointed to the control block,
turn DSR (Down Speed Regulator) in (CW) fully. If this stops the leak, examine the Regulator
Poppit for debris and / or damage.
DOWN SPEED VARIES

• Adjusting with BA (Balance Adjustment) adjuster, turn in (CW) for slower and out (CCW) for faster.
This adjustment must be made with a full load.
