Elevator functions

Every unit we supply is delivered with a complete set of safety and comfort functions. The standard set is included; the optional set is specified per project.

Standard functions38 · standard across the range

Interlock protectionAll door interlocks are checked before the car is allowed to run — a broken or shaken interlock stops the elevator.
Running contactor protectionThe motor circuit is monitored continuously; abnormal pick-up or sticking stops the car.
Braking detector protectionBrake release is monitored in real time before every start.
Terminal speed change & floor correctionThe car slows automatically at the terminal switches and self-corrects the floor indication.
Re-levellingIf loading changes the car level, the car returns to floor level automatically before the doors open.
Early door openingDoors begin to open as the car reaches the destination floor, shortening the ride.
Automatic operationDoors open on arrival and close after an adjustable delay; car calls register automatically and landing calls are answered in the direction of travel, with the furthest call in the opposite direction collected on the way.
Attendant operationDoors open on arrival and close on command; car calls register automatically and landing calls are answered in the direction of travel.
Inspection operationWith the system in inspection mode the car travels up or down at inspection speed while the button is held, and stops when it is released.
Automatic door opening on power-upWhen the system is energised and the car is standing in the door zone, the car door opens automatically.
Adjustable door-close delayAfter the car door is fully open it is held open, then closes automatically once the set delay has elapsed.
Re-opening on a same-floor callIf the car door is closing, or closed but not yet started, a landing call on that floor re-opens the door.
Light curtain protectionIf the safety edge or light curtain is obstructed, the closing movement stops at once and the door re-opens.
Overload protection — door stays openOn overload the doors do not close, the overload lamp lights, the buzzer sounds, CZ is shown in the car display and the car will not start.
Full-load bypassAt rated load the car answers car calls only and does not respond to landing calls.
Attendant bypass controlIn attendant operation, pressing the bypass button makes the car answer car calls only.
Running status displayThe LCD on the main control board in the controller shows running status, direction, current floor, door status, load and fault messages.
Automatic car lightingCar lighting switches off automatically after 15 minutes without use and comes back on with any call.
Automatic levelling on faultIf the car stops outside a door zone while running at speed, it creeps towards the nearest intermediate floor and opens the doors at level.
Fire-fighting operationAll car and landing calls are cancelled, the car returns to the fire-fighting base floor with the doors held open and a fire link signal is output.
Mis-registered call cancellationPressing a car call button a second time cancels its registration and the button lamp goes out.
Standby floor settingWith no attendant, when the car has no calls for a set period it returns automatically to the standby floor.
Stuck landing button self-diagnosisIf a landing button is held for more than 20 seconds the system treats it as stuck, refuses the call at that floor and flashes that button response as an alarm.
Fault diagnosisFaults are diagnosed automatically and shown on the LCD; the time, type and floor of the last ten faults are kept in a fault-report menu for the service technician.
Arrival gongA gong on the car top sounds during deceleration and levelling to alert passengers in the car and waiting at the landing.
Parking controlWhen the key switch on a designated floor is operated, the car returns to that floor after answering all calls, turns the car lighting off and lights the park indicator.
Non-stop floor settingSelected floors can be set so that the car passes them without stopping.
Custom floor display charactersThe character shown for each floor (letter or symbol) is set by key operation on the LCD in the controller.
Timed automatic start and stopThe installation starts and parks itself automatically at the times set in the controller.
Attendant direction settingBefore starting, the attendant presses the up or down button to set the running direction in advance.
Earthing and interference assessmentController earthing and bus-cable shielding on site are assessed on commissioning so that interference sources can be eliminated for reliable microprocessor control.
Emergency electric operationWhere the safety circuit has failed but normal power is available, a jumper on part of the safety circuit lets trapped passengers be released in the shortest time and the lift returned to service.
Shaft self-learningIn inspection mode the car runs from the lower limit switch up to the upper limit switch, measuring and permanently storing the door-zone and shaft-switch positions of every floor.
Reverse running protectionIf the car runs against the command direction for three seconds, the system stops it immediately, raises a fault alarm and blocks all car movement until the CPU is reset.
Repeat door closingIf the door interlock circuit is not made within the set time after a close command, the doors re-open and then close again.
Safety circuit protectionIf the safety circuit opens, the car stops running immediately.
Limit switch protectionWhen a limit switch operates, the system stops the car immediately.
Ultimate limit protectionWhen the ultimate limit switch operates, the whole system is de-energised at once.
