Platform Overloaded
Kone · Elevator Control
What does OL mean?
The platform is severely overloaded, exceeding its maximum rated capacity. This critical condition disables all motion functions to prevent damage or instability.
Common Causes
- Load on the platform exceeds the maximum allowable weight.
- Platform overload sensor malfunction, giving a false overload reading.
- Incorrectly calibrated overload sensor.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the actual load on the platform does not exceed the elevator's specified maximum rated capacity.
- 2
Inspect all load weighing sensors (e.g., load cells, pressure sensors) and their associated wiring for physical damage, proper mounting, and secure connections.
- 3
Check the input signal from the load weighing system at the Kone Elevator Control unit for plausible values when the platform is empty versus under a known test load.
- 4
Verify the 'Overload Threshold' or 'Maximum Rated Capacity' parameters configured in the Kone Elevator Control system match the elevator's nameplate specifications.
