Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Elevator Error Code 50

Mitsubishi Elevator Minor Door

Model: Mitsubishi Elevator | Code: 50

Applicable Systems
Mitsubishi Elevator

Symptoms

Door sensor fault. The door sensor signal is abnormal. Door operation may be affected.

Possible Causes

  • Door safety edge sensor fault: infrared emitter or receiver failed
  • Door reopening sensor signal out of range
  • Door sensor wiring broken or shorted
  • Door sensor lens contaminated with dust or moisture

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Check the equipment status and fault indicators to confirm the active fault code
    Fault indicator or HMI displays code 50 as active
  2. Step 2: Verify all electrical connections, wiring harnesses, and connector seating
    All connections secure, no corrosion, loose pins, or damaged wires
  3. Step 3: Check the safety circuit continuity and all safety interlock switches
    Safety circuit complete, all interlocks engaged
  4. Step 4: Inspect the specific safety device referenced in the fault (door switch, light curtain, E-stop)
    Safety device functional, contacts clean and responsive
  5. Step 5: Verify the brake mechanism: check brake pad wear, spring tension, and air gap
    Brake pads within wear limit, spring tension correct, air gap within spec
  6. Step 6: Test the safety function by simulating the fault condition and verifying response
    Safety function responds correctly within specified time
  7. Step 7: Reset the fault after fixing the safety device or circuit: press RESET
    Fault clears and safety system returns to ready state

How to Reset

To reset: 1) Fix the safety device or circuit fault. 2) Clear the fault on the HMI or controller. 3) Press RESET. Caution: Never bypass safety devices.
