6. Setup Instructions

The KONE Elevator Monitor is designed for professional installation within an elevator system. The following steps are general guidelines; always refer to specific elevator system documentation and local regulations.

1. Preparation: Ensure the elevator's power supply is completely shut off and secured to prevent accidental activation.
2. Mounting: Secure the monitor to the designated location within the elevator cabin using appropriate mounting hardware. The monitor features pre-drilled mounting holes on its rear panel.



3. Wiring: Connect the integrated cable from the monitor to the elevator's control system or network interface as per the elevator manufacturer's wiring diagrams. This monitor is a network version, implying it connects via an Ethernet-type cable for data and potentially power (PoE) or a separate power supply.
4. Power Connection: If a separate power connection is required, ensure it matches the monitor's power requirements and is correctly wired.
5. Network Configuration: Once physically installed and powered, the monitor may require network configuration to connect to the elevator's central control system for data updates (e.g., floor numbers, time, dynamic content). This typically involves setting IP addresses or other network parameters.
6. Testing: After installation, restore power to the elevator system and verify that the monitor powers on and displays information correctly.

7. Operating Instructions

The KONE Elevator Monitor operates largely autonomously once configured. Its primary function is to display information relevant to elevator passengers.

• Automatic Display: The monitor will automatically display the current floor number, direction of travel, time, and date, as provided by the elevator's control system.
• Content Management: For network-enabled features, dynamic content (e.g., news, weather, advertisements) is typically managed remotely via a central content management system connected to the elevator network. Refer to your elevator system's documentation for details on content updates.
• No User Interaction: This monitor is generally not designed for direct user interaction. All operational parameters and content are controlled by the elevator's integrated systems.

8. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your KONE Elevator Monitor.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the screen and frame with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive screen cleaner applied to the cloth, not directly to the screen. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the monitor for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or unusual display behavior.
• Software Updates: If applicable, ensure that the monitor's firmware or operating software is kept up-to-date as recommended by KONE or your elevator service provider.
• Professional Service: For any internal repairs or complex issues, contact a qualified elevator technician.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KONE Elevator Monitor, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:

• No Display/Black Screen:
  • Check if the elevator's main power supply is active.
  • Verify that the monitor's power cable is securely connected.
  • If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician.
• Incorrect Information Displayed:
  • Ensure the network connection to the elevator control system is stable.
  • The elevator control system may require recalibration or a reset. Contact a technician.
• Flickering or Distorted Image:
  • Check for loose cable connections.
  • Environmental factors (e.g., strong electromagnetic interference) might be a cause.
  • If the problem continues, professional inspection is recommended.

For all complex issues, it is strongly advised to contact a certified KONE service technician or your elevator maintenance provider.
