1.0 Preface

Since the foundation of our company on 01.04.1905 in Dusseldorf, our goal and our challenge has always
been to ensure maximum operational and functional safety for elevators worldwide with high-quality
products.

The focus of our developments has always been on the current state of the art.

Elevator systems are considered to be the safest means of transport worldwide. Millions of people depend
on these lifts every day. The overspeed governor is an important part of a protective device against
overspeed and uncontrolled movement of the elevator car. As a safety component, the speed limiter is in
operation around the clock 365 days a year. Therefore, the speed limitation device must be checked
regularly in accordance with its determination and function.

Its service life depends on the respective location or place of operation as well as the mileage of the elevator
system. This means that, despite the maintenance and care performed, possible wear and tear must be
taken into account over the service life of the product.

Taking all factors into account, we assume an average service life of 15 years. After this period at the latest,
we recommend a precise and careful inspection of the overspeed governor so that it can continue to ensure
the operational safety of the respective elevator system in the future.

Please always keep in mind that an elevator system with five stops in a medium segment can reach up to
one million journeys in the 15 years of operation.

Düsseldorf, in July 2021

3.2 What is a overspeed governor?

A overspeed governor is a mechanical safety device.

Depending on the configuration, it can fulfill the following three safety functions:

1. Overspeed governor, detecting and tripping element fixed at the overspeed governor,
as a part of the protection device against overspeed for the car moving in upwards
direction and tripping element against unintended car movement.

2. ACOP: Using as a part of the protection device against overspeed for the car moving in
upwards direction.
Monitoring of upward speed will be done by overspeed governor itself and a braking device
can be triggered ( engaged ) via the overspeed governor electric safety device or mechanically.

3. UCMP: Using as a part of the protection device against unintended car movement by an
installed anti-creep protection.

Using without detection system (activation at each landing).

Condition is, that only in combination with a braking respectively detecting component in
accordancen with the standard, which must be subjected to an own type-examination, can the
system created fulfil the requirements for a protection device.

3.3 How does a BODE overspeed governor works?

A overspeed governor is a mechanical safety device and operates on the physical principle of
centrifugal force.

And so is done the mechanical tripping:

A compression spring which is guided by a spring rod, acts on the arresting pendulum. The
pendulum roller is then pressed on the waveform at the wheel of the overspeed governor. At the
the set Va is exceeded, the pendulum roller lifts by the centrifugal force of the running surface from
the wheel.
After that the following happens:
The pendulum is so far deflected that it engages the
opposite catch in the fishing cam at the wheel of the
overspeed governor.
The overspeed governor-rope is caused clamped in the
rope groove of overspeed governor by its wedge shape
and generates a counter force. That force will, if it is
sufficient to activate the safety gear on the car or on the
counterweight.

At a VN up to 1.00 m / s the safety switch is triggered at the same time with the mechanical catch.

About a VN of 1.00 m / s is needed as a safety switch for pre-cutoff. This safety switch is operated
before reaching VA of the switching cam. The mechanical adjustment of the pre-cutodd switch is a
max. 5 % reduced tripping speed.

 Operating Manual Overspeed Governor
Type Examination Certification
EN 81-20/50
Version 21-01
Incl. Declaration of conformity

The tensile force in the governor rope generated by the overspeed governor must correspond to
the higher one of the following values:

a) the double of the force required for engaging the safety gear or
b) min. 300 N

For tensioning the overspeed governor rope a suitable tension weight is to be used. A slack-rope
switch must be installed on the tension weight.

Note: When triggered, for catching up (use of a tension weight SR/FO), or at a VA >= 2.50
m/s or when using a tension weight over 65 kg a hardened rope groove must be used at the
overspeed governor. Please note that with a tension weight with lever arm, as the SR / FO,
this 65 kg can be achieved quickly, depending on the lever positioning.

ATTENTION: The total weight acting on the pulley must NOT exceed 150kg.

3.4 Where is a overspeed governor used?

The overspeed governor can be used to activate a safety gear

• the elevator car

• on the counterweight
• or the balancing weight

The rules for machine and pulley rooms also apply to the ambient conditions at the site of the
overspeed governor.

3.5 What is the standard of a overspeed governor?

 Setting range of the tripping speed at a

200 mm overspeed governor wheel diameter:
EU-OG 069 0.50 m/s to 2.04 m/s
300 mm overspeed governor wheel diameter:
EU-OG 068 0.70 m/s to 3.43 m/s
EU-OG 084 0.50 m/s to 0.70 m/s
EU-OG 262 0.70 m/s to 3.43 m/s
 Retraction of the safety gear in downward and upward direction
 Rope distance:
200 mm overspeed governor wheel diameter 6.0 mm to 6.5 mm
300 mm overspeed governor wheel diameter 6.0 mm to 8.0 mm
 Condition of rope groove:
o 40° v-groove with undercut (at EU-OG 068/ EU-OG 069 / EU-OG 084)
o 30° v-groove with undercut (at EU-OG 262)
 Safety switch acc. to EN 81 (IP 67)
up to VN = 1,00 m/s non-latching
up to VN = 1,00 m/s latching as pre-cut off
 Rope jump off protection

3.6 Tripping speed setting

Each overspeed governor is factory set to the client's desired VA and protected against misuse by
lead-sealing.

The safety switch on the overspeed governor is actuated at a speed of:

 VN up to 1.00 m/s simultanuously with mechanical gear

 VN above 1.00 m/s at max. 5% below the mechanical gear as a pre-cutoff

In this case ech time the lift system´s safety circuit is interrupt.

3.7 Resetting a tripped overspeed governor

It applies:

The lift system must not be retaken into operation until it has been checked and the cause of the
failure has been eliminated by expert personnel. Resettimh is made as follows:

 Lift system of VN = 1.00 m/s, turn the wheel of the overspeed governor against the catch
direction, until the energised pendulum becomes free.
 Lift system above VN = 1.00 m/s,at first rotate the wheel agains the catch direction and than
resett the pre-cut off switch electromagnatic or manual. The total duty cycle of the safety
switches must be observed

Now the overspeed governor is operable again.

4.0 Mounting instruction

4.3 In the shaft pit

 Mounting on a tension weight with guide

The tension weight will be fixed on the pit floor. The fixing material as
screws and dowels are not supplied The overspeed governor must be
installed on a clean and even surface.

The rope direction is vertically aligned from the overspeed governor

on the line attachment of the safety gear. The wrap angle must be at
least 180°.

The overspeed governor is to secure against the intrusion of foreign bodies between the
overspeed governor wheel and rope (EN 81-20). This cover can be obtained as an additional
option. (look at point 10.1 and 10.2)

4.4 Commissioning

Before commissioning the following must be checked:

o Mounting of the governor
o Vertical rope departure
o Unobstructed movement of the tension weigh
o Operability of the attachments
o Die Connections of the safety switches
o Eine Funktionsüberprüfung der elektrischen Anbauteile wie Sicherheitsschalter
o Funktionsprüfung des Schlaffseilschalter am Spanngewicht

 For testing purposes, the overspeed governor rope must be pulled jerkily, because
otherwise the required frictional resistance can not be achieved. Even at low speeds, the
safety switch upon reaching the Va is reliably operated.

5.0 Safety switches

The use of a safety switch is described in the standard.

In the EN 81-20 under 5.6.2.2.1.6:

The overspeed governor must cause by an electrical safety device according to 5.11.2 shutdown
of the elevator before the speed of the car in upward or downward movement reaches its tripping
speed of the overspeed governor.

At nominal speeds not exceeding 1.00 m/s, this electrical safety device need only be at least
effective in the tripping speed of overspeed governor.

 Please note that the electrical installation of the overspeed governor always corresponds
to the currently valid accepted engineering.

Modeled on the DIN EN 60204-1 (VDE 0113-1) - Safety of machinery

Electrical equipment of machines Part 1: General requirements, Chap.:12.6 we recommend flexible
connections.

To ensure the proper functioning of the safety switch, the wiring in the safety switch must be
connected directly and without loops.

Note:

The safety switch for speed pre-connection is set accordingly to the triggering speed. Therefore,
the pre-connection switch must not be dismantled! The fastening screws are therefore provided
with seal labels. When removing the seal or switch, the warranty by BODE expires.

6.0 Description and connection of electrical components

Basically following must be observed when using a FA or an AS:

 At overspeed governor fits only one FA or one AS, both together is not possible!
 In conjunction with an FA or AS with pre-cut off switch and additional safety switch, the
NC contacts for the safety circuit must be connected in series

6.1 Remote release (FA)

Technical data:
 Supply voltage 12V DC 50Hz 100 % ED, 12 W
 Supply voltage 24V DC 50Hz 100 % ED, 13,4 W
 Supply voltage 230V AC 50Hz 100 % ED, 13,4 W incl. bridge rectifier
 Supply voltage 110V AC 50Hz 100 % ED, 14 W incl. bridge rectifier

The necessary components:

 Key switch (without arrest with NOC) is to be installed outside the shaft near the elevator
control.

6.1.1 Application options

Each overspeed governor can be equipped as standard or later (from year of construction 2015)
with a FA. It is possible with a FA to check a overspeed governor. For that the FA will be triggered
with a key switch (without arrest with NOC). Please note:

1. FA on a overspeed governor in the machine room:

 up to a nominal rate of 1.00 m/s must be used only one safety switch, with or without arrest

 and at a nominal speed of > 1.00 m/s, an additional safety switch must be used in addition
to the pre-activation, latching or non-locking safety switch. The pre-cut off switch is not
activated until 95% of the VA has been reached.

2. FA on an overspeed governor in the shaft:

 until 1.00 m/s rated speed, a non-latching safety switch must be used

 and at a rated speed of > 1.00 m/s another non-latching safety switch must be used
additionally to the pre-cut off switch, consisting of an electromagnetically resettable safety
switch of the type 2230 and 2240. This is necessary because it is possible that a pre-cutoff
switch according to the FA is not triggered.

! Please note: The key switch of the FA as such is to be clearly marked by a warning sign!

Functional description:

When actuating the key switch (without arrest with NOC) the magnetic coil is excited and the push
bar is pressed in the direction of the switch cams. The so far free swinging arresting pendulum is
thereby brought into the release position and blocks the governor’s cam wheel. Now the safety gear
is triggered.

6.1.2 Mounting notes

The FA has been factory fixed in position by means of a heavy duty dowel pin.
When installing, the holder’s M12 screw is inserted in the right hole of the sprag
and tightended with a torque of 10 Nm.
When retrofitting a FA to the overspeed governor it is essential to ensure the
correct position to the pendulum cam as well as the function on all 4 catches. If
necessary an indent has to be filed in the switch cam so that the pendulum is
pressed down by the FA’s cone. Laterally, the FA has to be properly positioned.
The FA’s functionality is to be tested. It is now possible in the corresponding
position on the shift cam under the bolts make deepening with a medium round
file. The arresting pendulum must be at least. 3mm be engaged in the catch
cam of the overspeed governor. Here is a function control absolutely essential.

6.2 Anti creep protection (AS)

Technical data:
 Supply voltage 12V DC 50Hz 100 % ED, 12 W
 Supply voltage 24V DC 50Hz 100 % ED, 13,4 W
 Supply voltage 230V AC 50Hz 100 % ED, 13,4 W incl. bridge rectifier

Each overspeed governor can be equipped as standard or later (from year of construction 2015)
with an AS by a skilled machanic. It must be ensured that always the specified supply voltage
is available at the solenoid.

The necessary components

Depending on the application, additional components for a secure function are required.

Please note the additional information in the individual applications.

6.2.1 Applications

6.2.1.1 UCMP: Unintended Car Movement Protection

Early eighties BODE introduced the anti-creep-protection. From now on it was possible to protect
man and material when loading the cabin aof a lift. By the increasing number of accident in the
past, increasingly deadly output, was preventting an uncrolled movement of the amendment 3
was included in the EN 81 1/2. The term UCM has since been used in the elevator world.

The current standard EN81-20/50:2014 specifies protection against unintended movement of the
cabin under 5.6.7 and in our type examination EU-OG 068,069,084, and 262 under 1.2 to 1.4..

A magnetic coil with push bar is additionally installed on the governor. During the controlled cabin
movement the magnetic coil is excited and keeps the push bar in its end position. The arresting
pendulum can swing freely.

When the cabin comes to a halt the magnetic coil is switched to zero potential and de-energised
after a delay preset via a time relay. Depending on the position of the cam disk the magnetic coil’s
push bar abuts on the switch cams or slides over it.

Incl. Declaration of conformity

If the cabin starts creeping due to overloading or for other reasons the push bar keeps the arresting
pendulum in the release position. The cam wheel is blocked and engages the safety gear. Until the
locking of the cam wheel, a way of 50 to 70 mm can be covered. Within this way maybe a
readjustment of the car without the pull rod of the solenoid coil must be moved. The elevator is
located during the retrieval in the secured state. The safety circuit is interrupted via the switch on
the AS and the safety-switch 1563.

The operability of the anti-creep protection can be checked via the lift control each time the lift
magnet is de-energised. For this, there is a second contact in the AS switch. In case of malfunction
the lift system should be taken out of operation.

The AS should be battery buffered as it would otherwise block the governor in the event of a power
failure. The switch can be individually ordered as spare parts.

Functional test for overspeed governor with AS according to EN 81-20/50

For testing the functionality of the governor the car must be brought to a stop and the coil of the
anti-creep protection must be deenergized. The deadbolt of the anti-creep protection is stands out
and this must be indicated by a signal on the lift control.
For measuring the way from the detection of an uncontrolled movement until the release of the
safety gear the markings must be set as follows:

1. Overspeed Governor is in the machine room:

A mark has to be applied to the governor rope and the distance travelled until the safety circuit is
interrupted is to be measured.

2. Overspeed Governor is in the pit:

A mark has to be applied both on the guiding rail and on the car frame. Deenergize the anti-creep
protective system so that the pushrod of the magnet at the governor is driven out. Now travel the
car upwards or downwards respectively using the inspection control until the safety switch on the
governor has disconnected the safety circuit. Measure the distance travelled with the help of the
marking on the guiding rail.

The maximum distance until the safety gear is activated by

Overspeed Governor Type 7 / 9 350 mm

Overspeed Governor Type 8 250 mm

To determine the values permitted by EN 81-20:2014; 5.6.7.5 now the safety distance of the
respective safety gear must be added. The safety gear also has to be EN 81-20:2014 certified.

The pre-cut-off switch (2230 oder 2240) would not be pressed during function of standstill
monitoring because it‘s adjusted that it responds only to excess speed. To break the
engagement of the safety circuit, an additional safety switch is provided (see 5.0 safety
switches.

6.2.1.2 Hedging in a shortened protected space

The AS can be used as a safety component if the safety space is reduced. For this, a contact has
to switch the AS to zero potential when the safety space is reached so that the governor is blocked
and the safety gear is retracted.

6.2.1.3 Hedging with a magnification of the car without carrying capacity adapting:
If the cabin is increased in size without changing its load capacity the AS can be activated – in
combination with a weighing system – when the nominal load is exceeded. The safety gear
prevents the creeping and further travelling of the cabin.

6.2.1.4 Hedging during maintenance work in the shaft

With lift systems where the drive is installed in the pit the AS can be used for protecting the service
technician in the pit. When opening the lower lift door in the pit for maintenance purposes the
magnetic coil is switched to zero potential and de-energised.

6.2.1.5 Functional test of OSG while driving

With the attached AS, the OSG can be triggered while driving, for testing purposes. This is the
secondary function of the AS, known as remote release. This function can be easily retrofitted by
means of a key switch (without arrest with NCC) by integrating the key switch in the feeder of the
power supply of AS. When the key switch is pressed, the voltage supply to the AS is interrupted,
the bolt drops off and triggers the GB.

! Please note: The key switch for testing the AS must be clearly marked as such by a warning sign

6.3 Transport instructions

The holder of the AS is a mature product, consisting of a very resistant material. Under normal
operating conditions, it may not come to destruction by a force when engaging a overspeed
governor, since no force on the holder is effective.

Nevertheless, the holder may be damaged:

During transport
It must be ensured that the overspeed governor arrives in its high-quality original packaging and
without any damage. Please transport the overspeed governor to the elevator system in its original
packaging.

During the assembly

The overspeed governor is carried by hand and strikes laterally on the holder against an object with
sufficient force, the possibility exists that the holder can bend. In this case, the function of the
magnet can no longer be quaranteed.

By carelessness on site
For example, when someone has kicked against the anti creep protection (assembly overspeed
governor on the floor in the machine room).

A overspeed governor with anti-creep protection is a safety component which must be with
the utmost care transported, mounted and put into operation. Only then a proper functioning
can be ensured.

6.4 Mounting notes:

The AS has been factory fixed in position by means of a heavy duty dowel
pin. When installing, the holder’s M12 screw is inserted in the right hole of
the sprag and tightended with a torque of 10 Nm. When retrofitting an AS,
ensure the correct position for the pendulum cam and the function at all 4
catch cams. If necessary an indent has to be filed in the switch cam so
that the pendulum is pressed down by the AS cone. Laterally, the AS has
to be properly positioned. The functionality is to be tested. It is now
possible in the corresponding position on the shift cam under the bolts
make deepening with a medium round file. The arresting pendulum must
be at least. 3 mm be engaged in the catch cam of the overspeed governor.
Here is a function control absolutely essential.

Attenuation of the shutdown overvoltage:

Due to the energy stored in the magnetic circuit, a high induction voltage, especially with large lifting
solenoids when switching off. This switch-off overvoltage can possibly destroy the excitation winding,
switches and especially electronic components. For this reason, each anti-creep protection 12V/24V is
equipped with a freewheeling diode in the connector!

For damping there are other possibilities:

Ohmic resistor (FIG. 25), diode circuit (FIG. 26), varistor circuit (FIG. 27), bridge rectifier (FIG. 28), spark
quenching (FIG. 29)

6.5 Incremental encoders installation

Technical data:
Transmission ratio 1:4, pinion 11 teeth shaft diameter 6mm
Transmission ratio 1:2, pinion 22 teeth shaft diameter 10mm

An encoder can be mounted to the governor, the tension pulley or diverter pulley. For this purpose
the tension pulley and diverter pulley must feature a v-groove. Retrofitting the components with the
encoder assembly is not possible.

7.0 Factory setting of a overspeed governor

The overspeed governor are safety components. Accordingly, they are authorized by a EU-type
examination certificate.

They ers used to engage a safety brake and to disable the lift system, in downward an upward
direction, or uncontrolled movement of a cabin, by interrupting the safety circuit.

The Va is adjusted in the manufacturer factory to customer specifications, inspected and sealed.
Repairs may only be carried out by BODE. A repair always requires a review of the Va. Settings
may only carried out by BODE.

The replacement of defective components can in individual cases also carried ot on site by a
licensed contractor after consultation with BODE.

8.0 Maintenance

The overspeed governor are maintenance-free. A safety component is only as good as his
condition. The overspeed governor MUST be checcked regulary and if necessary be maintained.

Please take into account that the overspeed governor is only a part of a complex system. The
system is made up of:
 overspeed governor
 Tension weight
 overspeed governor-rope
 Safety brake
 Or additional brake

All of these components are important components of a protective device. And only if all the
componets are matched and be in good condition, does this protective device as expected.
Each of these componets has unique characteristics that require inspection and maintenance. We
would like to point out that not only the overspeed governor is considered.

8.1 Care of a overspeed governor

The care refers to the smooth running of the mechanical tripping system of the overspeed governor
(see picture). Depending on the site must be intervened supportive here. Free from effects of
weather may be present here various climatic conditions in an elevator shaft.

Even under normal conditions in the shaft or machine room at an operating temperature of 0° C to
+40° C, it can here, for maximum or minimum frequenting of the elevator system, there will be
different operating states.

Since this is a physical pendulum plays the mobility of the individual components a very big role.
Impurities may affect the trigger mechanism here.

It is important here to adjust to the local conditions at the standard of maintenance of a new
overspeed governor to obtain permanent. We use a light oil (type HN 68 or WD-40).
NOTE: NO LUBRICATING OIL

8.2 Checking of a overspeed governor

Periodic monitoring is necessary to ensure that no contamination or mechanical damage can

affect the functional safety of the overspeed governor. This applies to all components used in the
protective device, such as the overspeed governor-rope, the tension weight and the safety gear.

When overspeed governor all moving parts must be checked for contamination, on pollution caused
by grease and to their free movement (see 8.1 Maintenance).

The cam wheel, the pulley and the O-ring on the pendulum roller must be checked for damage and
wear.

The V-groove can clog by lubricating arrears with improper care of the overspeed governor-rope.
This can in extreme cases lead to a delayed tripping of the safety gear. Please follow the care
instructions of the rope-manufacturer.

The V-groove must be checked for changes. Please refer to chapters 8.3 and 8.4.

All safety switches and mechanical parts must be checked.

8.3 How do I recognize a faulty V-groove?

The overspeed governor-rope may run in up to 3 mm above the bottom of

the undercut. After this an exchange is imperative. Should the rope groove
be become a seat groove, the overspeed governor need not necessarily be
replaced because it has a free cut (EN 81). An entry of the rope groove can
be improved by:

 the design of the used rope

 the weight of the tension weight used
 or a combination of both

8.4 What is a cable pattern in the V groove?

The use of a tension weight such as SR/FO, SGI, SIG-S, double guide stand or directional switch
in combination with a non-hardened wheel can lead to a cable pattern in the rope groove. This
imprint of the rope is so named because it is similar to a braided plait.

Damage to the overspeed governor-rope cannot be demonstrated, to our knowledge, as with a

cable pattern no sharp edges. But by the cable pattern creates a greater force. The safety device
is actuated in each case. Whether the safety gear can withstand the higher power without
damage to the catch arm only the manufacturer of the safety gear can say.

9.0 Maintenance of a overspeed governor

A change in the factory-set VA is not permitted on site at the lift installation. The factory setting is
sealed. If repairs or adjustments become necessary, they are to be carried out in the factory. A
repair or testing with subsequent functional check can always be carried out at Bode.

The settings of the safety switches are secured by color sealing and seal labels. Since this
is a safety component with an EU-type examination certificate, these settings may not be
changed. Damage to the seal of the adjusting nut, the color seals and seal labels
automatically lead to a review of the overspeed governor, as functional safety cannot be
guaranteed. In addition, you lost all warranty claims and liability BODE laughed.
