Rando, don't feel bad about a genny blow out. It was always part of the Otis maintenance program and yes if not done a lot, it can cause problems. Just an immediate thought from me is to check the neutral plane on the genny first.
Dan- Why check the coils with AC and not DC? Just an easy access for you guys from a power socket outlet? And when you say the jacking bolts, do you mean the rope standing end bolts?

uppo72, I was so new I didn't even know to question why AC vs DC. When I was taught that way by the wizard from the motor shop and a 30yr adjuster and have just done it like that for years.... As far as the jack bolts Otis used a isolated 2 piece platform with isolation pads between the two sections. The load weighing switches are set as the isolation pads compress with a load. And the jack bolts are located on all 4 corners so you can run them up and keep the isolation pads and switches from getting creamed when you do a full load full speed safety set. And if you do not run the jack bolts in you will have to reset all the load weighing switches or as we find on a lot of jobs we take over. Have poor leveling performance with the need to bring in weights to set things backup. I have been trying to find a newer style load weigher to replace the old micro switched but i am having problems finding any with the 6 or 7 outputs needed to replicate the Otis design. Including anti nuisance and hall call bypass. Dan thanks for the reply. In Aus we have 230/240 vac on the wall, so not sure id want to do that but can get info from the motors winders if need be. As to the jacking bolts, that is a name used for a variety of spots so thanks for clarifying it. It is a good point about the adjustments as I have worked on a lot of 260vip where the selectors are all worn out, and then the compo settings are out too. I didn't realise we could jack those up, but it should be remembered that it is only a recent rule change that we had to do full load safety gear tests, as we only did hand control tests, which is where the damage was avoided. Not sure of a new product to replace this either.

Just a quick follow up to my problem. I finally got ahold of the Otis genius in our area. He is retired now but was my teacher all the way through elevator school. After eliminating the controller we focused on the loop circuit. I have an 82GA MG set that will allow up to 12 turns. I had 4 in it at the time. He had me take ALL the turns out. Something I wasn't even aware was possible. That fixed all my major issues. I had to tweak the selector and the speeds but it is running better than ever. I would again like to tip my hat to the guys who worked on this equipment for years. I don't know what we will do when they are not around to bail us young punks out. I guess we will just mod it when it breaks!! Thanks to everyone for your replies. Hope this helps someone else down the line!! Rando
