Direct Elevator
Ian McFarlane 20th Annual Hockey Tournament Champions
Congratulations to this years champions of the Ian McFarlane Cup.
It has been brought to MCE’s attention that if the voltage level of 5 volt power supply feeding the controller computer (swing panel) falls below regulation, it can have adverse effect on the operation of the motor control. In certain situations, the elevator computer may become inoperable and motor field voltage can drop to zero. Having very low or no motor field control can result in the car drifting in the direction of the load due to lack of torque control. This scenario is only applicable to inspection operation. Automatic and passenger operation use additional software monitors and are not affected.

The annual Christmas party was another great success thanks to all the members, their families and all the volunteers that helped along the way.
Everyone had a great time with the actors, magicians, and animals followed by a visit by Santa and don’t forget Mrs Clause.
Thank you to all the members that supported the food drive and allowed us to provide the presents to organizations that need it most.
