-HOISTWAY DOOR INTERLOCKS:
Hoistway door interlocks are designed to prevent the door from being
opened when the car is not in proper landing position and to prevent
operation of the elevator if a hoistway door is open. In case of a power
failure, the hoistway doors may be opened by following the procedure
below:
1) Insert “crescent shaped” emergency release key through the cover
plate on the door and into the interlock.
2) Push downward on key to unlock. Hold key in this position while
pulling door open. Note: Releasing the key will relock the door.
-SLACK CABLE SAFETY DEVICE:
If both steel drive cables become slack, the car will mechanically lock
into the track and electrically terminate power to the drive unit. The
device can be reset by your Access Industries' dealer. Note: If the device
does trip, the cause must be determined and corrected before the elevator
is put back into service.
-EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON:
When the emergency stop button is pressed, the car will stop and an
audible alarm is sounded. To disengage the emergency stop button, pull
out on the button until it pops up. If the car was stopped by the emergency
stop button between floors, an “
UP ” or “ DOWN ” control button needs
to be pressed to resume service.
