5. DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTALLATION

Controller
The lift is controlled electronically by the controller. The controller and the traction machine (1) are in the
machine room. The machine room is accessible only by trained and competent for maintenance persons.
Upward – downward movement

The traction machine (1) is fitted in the machine room, which is at the top of the shaft. The edges of the wire
ropes (3) are fitted at the top of the counterweight frame (6). The wire ropes are going through the diversion
pulley (11) on the motor base and continue to the traction sheave (2), which is fitted to the traction machine.
On the car frame (8), there is a base (5) where the wire ropes are fitted.
The car moves upwards or downwards according to the direction of the traction sheave.
The car frame (8) is driven by guide rails (10). Also the counterweights frame (6) is driven by guide rails (9).
Safety
 The uncontrolled descend or ascent of the lift is prevented by an overspeed governor (12) which
activates the safety gear when the car speed is more than the permissible. The safety gear is adapted
to the car frame and when it is activated, it stops the car frame.
 The landing doors are equipped with a lock, which prevents them from opening if the car is not behind
them.
 There are also other mechanical and electrical safety devices according to ΕΝ 81-1 standards.
6. SAFE USE OF THE LIFT

The maximum rated load of the lift, which is inscribed on the special brandings, should not be
exceeded. The use of pallets carriers, trolleys and other similar mechanisms, could cause damage to
the lift, unless it was included in the design of the lift and especially in the design of the doors and car
(special sill).
During closing the automatic doors will reopen if an obstacle is detected. The detection is achieved
through the use of photocells or a photo curtain. However detection of small obstacles like walking sticks and
dog leashes might not be detected. For this reason the door area should be cleared as soon as possible.
Also attention should be given to the gap between the car and the landing. Do not dispose garbage in the gap.
The passengers of the lift should not move unnecessarily.

It is forbidden to use the lift in dangerous situations like fire, floods, earthquakes, etc. Only trained
persons or person capable for maintenance should use the emergency key (for door release) and the
key to the controller.
Partially closed wells

If the well is partially closed, it should be constructed according to ΕΝ 81.1 (chapter.5.2.1.2) standards. The
openings should be designed in way so:
 No person is in danger of the moving parts of the lift
 No person could come in contact with parts of the lift or the inside of the well.
7. MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
7.1 Preventive measures
Only specialized technicians or properly trained persons should access the pit area.
No other equipment apart from the lift equipment should be located inside the pit area. Smoke detectors are
the only exception, which must be connected to the controller of the lift. If smoke is detected, the car should
move to the lowest floor and remain with the doors open. No calls should be accepted.
Fire-hazard sprinklers are not allowed inside the well
Access ways to the pit area (for maintenance) and to the controller should always be locked. The access
should remain safe at all times. If there is a potential hazard issue, the installation must be taken out of service.

carried out by the personnel of the maintenance company.
 The authorised persons must be trained for the specific installation.
 If the movement of the lift is not possible with the methods described below, the trained person must
call the maintenance organization immediately.
 The owner of the installation must ensure the training of the authorised persons by the maintenance
organization
 The lift rescue operation should only be performed through the landing doors by the trained persons.
No part of the body, of the person performing the operation, should be inside the well.
11.1 Lift rescue operations

Case1: Power supply has not any problem.
 All the safety devices must be active during the operation.

 for the procedure that you are going to follow and try to calm them down
 to stand away from the door(s) and to follow your instructions
 that the lift will move shortly and they are not in danger
 Leave someone if possible (who does not need to be trained or authorized) on the nearest landing to
the car to continue to talk to the passengers.
 Ensure that of the landing doors are locked. Place a sign on all of the landing doors warning about the
potential risk. (For example. DANGER: LIFT OUT OF SERVICE)
The trained and authorized person should enter the machine room and identify in the controller the
control of emergency electrical operation and TURN it from Normal (NOR) to manual (MAN)
operation (Figure 2).
 If the means of floor indication is rope markings (Figure 1) and a
