 COP
 In case of elevator being overloaded
a scrolling message “OVER LOAD” is
displayed in the car position
indicator
 Apart from this message an audible
indication (buzzer) is also provided.
 The ‘INTERCOM’ is a press & speak

current for load .If a passenger or an
object interrupts the door closing
movement ; current exceeds the overload
limit. Immediately door will reverse the
direction and start opening.
 Car door is provided with 3-D curtain of
light. If this light is interrupted during
closing, by the movement of passengers,
door will reverse the direction and starts
opening again.

 FRD
 When actuated all car calls and landing calls
will be cancelled .(By breaking the glass )
 FRD alarm will sound. In car and hall position
display , ’FIRE’ message will be displayed.
 Fireman lift will drive to the fire evacuation
floor and keep the doors open.

landing calls.
 If car call button(P or C or G) and door closing
button both are pressed , doors will start closing
and will drive to answer the call.
 The lift returns to normal service when it is in
evacuation floor and Firemen switch is ‘OFF’.
 ATTENDANT MODE
OPERATION
 The call registration and
answering call is still same but
the closing of doors is initiated by
an attendant.
 The doors remain open after
stopping at a floor and the doors
start closing when the attendant
presses the door Close button and
if there is a registered call.
 ATTENDANT MODE
OPERATION
 Whenever a landing button is pressed ,a buzzer
in the car sounds and the Attendant Up or
Attendant Dn indicator lights up , to indicate to
the attendant ,the direction in which the car is
to move to answer the landing calls registered.

 The attendant can at his discretion change the

selected travel direction of the car by pressing
the Attendant UP or Attendant DN buttons.

 Pressing any of these buttons chooses the

corresponding direction of travel and indicates
closing of doors.
 PUSH BUTTONS

handicapped
 LIGHT CURTAIN
 SAFETY
 REOPENS THE DOOR
 3-D LIGHT CURTAIN
 PHOTOCELLS ARE PROVIDED IN
THE ENTRANCE PANEL.
OVER LOADING DEVICE
 Load weighing device is fitted at
the bottom of car floor.
 The load is sensed by the control
by means of tension in the load
sensing spring which is provided
under the floor.
 110%-- Over load – alarm sounds
– elevator does not move.
 INTERCOM/ BMS
 The intercom is Press & Speak type i.e.
hands free type

rope will not move and its tension switch will
operate and lift stop immediately
 ALARM BUTTON
• An “ALARM BUTTON” is
provided in the COP. The
passenger in the car can call for
help in case of emergency and
alarm condition is registered
through the Remote Monitoring
System at SCR.
 POSITION INDICATOR &
MESSAGE DISPLAY
 Lift when overloaded – OVERLOAD
 During service mode – IN
MAINTENANCE
 General fault preventing the
elevator to run
--NOT IN USE
 When EBD operates – RESCUE
 When FRD is operated – FIRE
 RESCUE
 When we received a call from lift that some one stuck in
lift,you informed that we will rescue you within few
minutes. The following procedure can adopted.
1.By opening the shaft door (If Lift at floor )
2.By EBD mode (When Lift shows no fault)
3.By RDF (Recall drive function ) mode (When Power is
available.It will done by only E&M staff)
4. By brake lever mode (It will done by SC )
5. By brake lever with help of BDT(Battery drive Tool).
 1. By opening the shaft door

a.First we will reached at MAP.

b.Open the MAP
c.If door zone indicator (4 LED ) glowing.Then give the landing
call
d.If lift moves then automatically lift open at level.
e.If Lift does not move then switch off the supply of Lift,and open
the door manually respective of floor.
 RESCUE (through EBD mode )

 When Main Power supply Failed the

automatic rescue by EBD mode with
in 15 to 20 second
 Floor indicator showing Rescue
operation
 Then EBD moves the lift in any
direction as per car load. And opens
the door.
 RESCUE (Through RDF )
 When Power supply available then we
rescued the passenger with the help of RDF
mode
 1.Inform the passenger that you are going
to let them out and they must not try to do
anything by themselves.
 2.Turn the RDF (Recall drive function )
switch 270 on.
 3.Push run button 270:RB together with
direction button up or down simultaneously.
 4.The car is on floor ,when the four green
indicator light is on.
 5.Open the door and let the passenger out
 RESCUE (By brake lever )

 1.If car stops in between the floor(4 LED not

glowing in MAP )
 2. Inform the passenger that you are going to let
them out
 3.Turn off the supply from MAP
 4.Release the Brake lever
 5.See if the car starts to move .Stop it by
letting the brake close after every 1…2
second.
 6.Open the door and let the passenger out
 NOTE! Never open the brake if the car is already
at door zone.
 RESCUE (Through BDT )
 If car not move by brake lever (In balanced
condition )
 Then open the brake lever and press the
BDT button simultaneously. (S1,S2 located at
MAP )
 Car move in any direction (A green indicator
shows the movement of Lift ).Leave the
button.
 If 4 LED glowing then leave the brake lever.
 Open the door and let the passenger out.
 CAUSE OF FAULT IN LIFT
 If a fault is detected during start up or
operation of the lift,the lift must be shut
down immediately
 Faults are can be
.Abnormal noise
.Lift is running with jerk
.Lift is start and go down below floor.
. Safety circuit problem.
.Lift stop in between floor.
