Programming
DIP Switch Settings
The 150-E elevator controller is programmed through DIP switches located on 
the front of the controller. All functionality is defined by these settings. The 
following tables define the settings available within the SMC™ controller. Default 
settings are indicated by the shaded areas.

(seconds)
Switch #1 Switch #2
This defines the time the controller will ramp or 
limit current to the motor. The controller can 
determine when the motor is up-to-speed (UTS), 
therefore it may transition to bypass before this 
time expires. If the motor does not reach speed 
before the time expires, the controller will 
continue under SCR control and not close the 
bypass contactor.

Switch #3
In Current Limit mode, a set level of current is applied to the 
motor over the start time. In Soft Start mode, the device will 
ramp the torque from the initial level to 100% over the start 
time.

% FLA/ % Torque Switch #4 Switch #5
The level indicated by this programming applies an 
initial level of current or torque to the motor for the 
start time. For example, if switch #3 is set to OFF, 
the device will perform a current limit start at the 
level indicated by these switches.

Switch #6 Switch #7
Soft Stop reduces the voltage applied to the 
motor over the programmed period of time. The 
soft stop is complete when the soft stop timer 
has expired or the current measured drops below 
50% of the FLA setting.
