Kone Electric Traction Elevators

13 fault codes documented

65

Elevator Overloaded

The KONE LCE W/KDM elevator system has detected that the car's load exceeds its rated capacity. This condition prevents elevator movement or stops operation for safety and to prevent equipment damage.

68

Doors Obstructed

The KONE LCE W/KDM elevator doors are prevented from closing completely, activating a safety interlock. This condition will inhibit elevator movement until the obstruction is cleared.

70

Emergency Recall (General)

The KONE LCE W/KDM elevator has been commanded to an emergency recall. Passengers must exit the elevator promptly once the doors open at the designated emergency floor, as the elevator is being taken out of normal service.

71

Earthquake Emergency

The KONE LCE W/KDM elevator system has detected seismic activity, triggering its earthquake emergency protocol. The elevator will proceed to the nearest floor and open its doors for passenger evacuation, then typically shut down.

72

Power Failure

The KONE LCE W/KDM elevator system has experienced a loss of its primary power supply. The elevator is now operating on a backup power source (e.g., Emergency Rescue Device (ERD) or battery) or performing a controlled shutdown for passenger evacuation.

73

Fire Alarm Recall

The KONE LCE W/KDM elevator system has received a signal from the building's fire alarm system, initiating a fire recall protocol. The elevator will travel to a predetermined fire-safe floor and open its doors for passenger evacuation before being taken out of normal operation.

79

Special Service Recall

The KONE LCE W/KDM elevator has been commanded to a special service mode, requiring it to return to a designated floor and open its doors for passenger evacuation. This mode is typically activated for specific operational needs or maintenance.

ALARM (Config Error)

Configuration Error

The phone board detects a problem with its configuration, manifesting as either a missing configuration or an incorrect one. This is indicated by a specific fast blinking pattern (0.3 s ON, 0.3 s OFF, 0.3 s ON, 2 s OFF). A configuration error can prevent the system from operating correctly, impacting communication and alarm processing capabilities.

ALARM (Registered)

Alarm Registered, Not Served

An alarm event has been initiated and registered by the system, but the required service action or response has not yet been completed. The phone board indicates this state by rapidly blinking (0.5 s ON, 0.5 s OFF). This means the system is waiting for an external response to address the alarm condition.

BATT (Failure)

Battery Failure

The backup battery for the phone board has failed, indicated by the BATT LED being ON (Red). This critical fault signifies that the battery needs replacement or its fuse has blown, compromising the system's ability to operate during main power outages.

MAINS (No Power)

No Power to Phone Board

The phone board is completely without power, indicated by the MAINS LED being OFF (Green) and the system being non-operational. This signifies a complete power failure, meaning neither main power nor backup battery power is available. The system cannot function in this state.

MAINS (Power Loss)

Main Power Loss

The main power supply to the phone board is disconnected or unavailable, causing the system to operate on backup battery power. This state is indicated by the MAINS LED blinking (Green). While the system remains operational, this signifies a critical power interruption that requires attention to ensure long-term functionality.

PSTN FAIL

PSTN Line Failure

The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line is not functioning correctly. This condition is indicated when the line voltage is less than 33 VDC, the telephone line is physically missing, or no dial tone is detected. This fault prevents the emergency phone system from establishing outgoing calls via the landline network.
