| Planning Guide Elevators & EscalatorsBasic PLANNING Elevator System Design Good elevator system design is critical toa multi-storey building. Planning of elevator ‘systems must therofore feature very early in overall building design programmes, within both ew construction and refurbishment schemes. The quality of vertical transportation Is vital to ‘building circulation and theretore has a profound effect on human response to a building itselt. If I Is right, acceptability, reputation and a sound investment are assured. IF tis wrong, it causes disadvantage from which ‘escape is difficult and usually expensive, Typical Arrival Pattern - Commercial Office Building elevator systems must be configured to match the expected traffic requirements of a building, both present and future, This means that accuracy in predicting an expected building population and how and when it will move is critical, for itis on thie that fundamental elevator system design decisions must be based. Key decisions, such as the number of elevator shafts, cannot be easily modified in the later stages of building development. Pregicting population flow and pattems is often fa difficult and uncertain task, needing a unique ‘expertise. Using data predictions in the process of producing an optimum elevator system design, or the art of elevatoring as itis known, is, also a specialist's tack. Knowledge and experience are essential to get things right. Otis is dedicated to getting things right and is always ready to assist, by providing information and advice to existing or prospective customers on how to plan and achieve the best elevator system design. Whether itis for a new building, with all the design alternatives available, or for an existing building, where ingenuity and use of up-to-date technology can solve many design problems, Otis can help the designer to exciting and innovative results. Key Design Considerations ‘There are many variables which affect elevator system design. However, the key ones to be specified are: ‘+ Number of floors to be served + Floor to floor distance + Population of each floor + Location of building + Specialist services within building + Type of building occupancy ‘+ Maximum peak demand In passengers per five minute period. ‘To meet the elevator system specification, there are many design features which an elevator ‘manufacturer can vary. Of these, the principal ones are: + Load ‘+ Number of elevators + Elevator design characteristics (e.g. entrances and control systems). Although design estimates can be made manually, with so many variables to be included in the overall process, on larger projects it requires the use of computer techniques to ‘obtain optimum solutions. This applies particularly to complex designs. OTISPLAN is a sophisticated suite of computer programs which has been developed by Otis to solve such problems for larger buildings. Building and traffic data is input to the programs which then process it, with access to additional data accumulated from many years of Otis experince. The OTISPLAN service is available to all Otis customers.| ES = = C4 os [== Le Lc) L ==) Basic Design Parameters ‘There are numerous parameters which can be Used to judge elevator system performance. The principal one is based on quality of service. Quality of service is related fundamentally to the time interval a passenger has to wait for an elevator car and how quickly the system transports that passenger to a desired destination, To quantity the concept a standard definition is used Quality of service (or interval) is the expected average interval (in seconds) between the arrival of elevators at the main floor. In basic terms, this is the round trip time of one elevator divided by the number of elevators in a group. ‘The required handling capacity, or quantity of service, of a system is expressed, in elevator industry design terms, as a function of the ‘expected bullding population. Its stated in units of the percentage of a building's population to be transported within a five minute period. Building Types The guidelines below indicate the key design foatures for particular building types. Although some qualitative and quantitative advice is given, it should always be remembered that there is no substitute for accurate estimation of Offices Maximum traffic usually occurs just before the start of working hours and is known as ‘up morning peak’ in elevator industry jargon. Orfice buildings with single (unified) tenancy usually Provide heavier peak flows than those with multiple (diversified) tenancy. Hf more detailed estimates cannot be made, the following handling capacity requirements should be used as a basis for design to meet up morning peak. + Unified tenancy - 15 to 25 per cent of the total building population entering in a tive minute period. + Diversified tenancy - 10 to 15 per cent of the total building population entering in a five minute period. ‘There will be other peaks in elevator system usage, such as at lunchtime and in the evening ‘when people leave. Peaks can also be caused by the location of basement garages, conference rooms, restaurants and similar mass use facilities. The effect of these must be taken into account individually. traffic patterns. Average values are quoted for guidance. However, true estimates for a Particular building, including local influences, such as the location of transport terminals or stations, can alter these significantly. Designing for a quality of service is very much dependent on the preferences and needs of the ‘owner or occupant of a building. A general guide to the acceptability of service intervals can be summarised as follows. ‘+ Average interval 20-25 seconds - excellent. ‘+ Average Interval 35-40 seconds - fair. + Average intorval 45 seconds - poor. A large prestigious office building must often ‘meet exceptional inter-floor traffic demands which have to be considered in planning. These demands can often be very complex and correct, design decisions will be more accurate if computer aided optimisation and simulation is used as a planning technique. It will usually be beneficial to involve Otis directly in such work. Use of such techniques is essential whon the final elevator system itself will be computer controlled to achieve optimum operational performance, as will be the case for most large. building comploxes.PLANNING o a L ==) Hotels The traffic flow in hotels is dependent on the type of hotel and its layout. Traffic peaks normally ‘occur in the early morning and in the evenings, as ‘guests leave and enter, or access the communal facilities, such as restaurants and bars. At these peak times, trafic flow can be approximately 10 per cent (5 per cent in each direction) of the hotel {quest population requiring elevator service ina five minute period. In the absence of other estimates, this value is used for planning. Hotels where large scale ovents are held, such fas conferences and banquets, may often have periods where traffic flows substantially exceed tho recommended planning figure. If a hotel's ‘owner or developers require it, planning criteria should be amended to a higher value, to ensure the elevator system can cope with such demands. Ideally large suites should be located con lower levels. What is an acceptable service interval in a hotel ‘can vary greally according to its type and location. In smaller, older or provincial establishments longer intervals up to 60 seconds can be acceptable. In modern, International hotels not more than 30 seconds will be acceptable. In addition to guest elevator systems, most hotels will require provision of separate elevator systems for staff movement, catering supplies, linen and other purposes. Residential Buildings ‘Traffic patterns in residential buildings, either private or publicly owned, usually resemble those of hotels. Peak traffic density usually ‘occurs in the early morning, but peaks will vary both in time span and in intensity. The peak ‘traffic value:foruse in planning, is suggested as 6 per cent of total building population. The acceptable service interval for residential buildings is a highly variable quantity and must be assessed on criteria relevant to each application, Thus it is difficult to give general guidance, However, it should not be overlooked that extended waiting through low quality of Hospitals Generally vertical transportation requirements are laid down by the operating authorities of hospitals, consultants etc, whether public of private. Very careful research is necessary to plan each individual hospital elevator project correctly. service can antagonise and frustrate elevator users. This in turn can load to unpleasant reaction and social problems. If there is a requirement for a residential elevator system to access public communal areas, service lovels must be given special consideration. Elevator equipment must also be designed to suitable standards for such application. Often the planning criteria will be set by the principal, such as a housing association or local authority There will usually bo a requirement to provide several elevator systems. Apart from those for specific patient and medical use in a hospital's day-to-day work, elevators will be required for patients’ visitors, catering, linen transport, waste disposal and similar purposes. Specialised Buildings Leisure centres, shopping malls, retail developments, air terminals and entertainment complexes are typical of the kind of specialised buildings which require careful individual study of traffic flow and density. Often the vertical transport facilities for passengers will be a combination of elevators and escalators and there will be separate elevators for goods transport Panoramic elevators are often selected for use in specialised buildings tor aesthetic reasons and to provide viewing platforms. Their use has added design implications which do not apply to standard passenger elevator designs. Such elevators should rarely be used as the prime means of vertical transportation in a building scheme.o = = — J oe == o 7) Ps [--] Location of Elevators Normally, the most efficient method of locating elevators to serve an individual building is to group them together. A group has a lower average interval between car arrivals than a single elevator Groups should be located for easy access to and from a main building entrance and should normally be located centrally for general ease of passenger transit throughout the building Ha building Is of a design with areas which give long distances to the central elevator group, it may be efficient to install an additional elevator for local area inter-floor traffic For complex buildings, the principles for location of elevators can be different from those indicated, Otis are able to offer expert advice, whatever the building type, and can test, configurations using computer techniques, for treater ease of passenger movement in and out of buildings, Grouping of Elevators A group of elevators should be designed to be located closely together to minimise the walking distance between entrances. Waiting passengers can then react quickly and access ‘ears swiftly without detrimental effect to the quality of overall service. Lobby areas, especially the main ones, should not be in the path of passageways. Any potential for confusion between waiting passengers and passers-by should be avoided by having separate lobby areas. ‘There are two options for grouping 2 or 3 elevators. For 4 elevators, option as shown below is preferable, as 4 elevators in line cause sufficient increases in passenger walking distances to diminish operational officiency. The lobby width, of twice the car depth, when elevators are placed opposite each other in group, determines the size of the elevator machine room. If the lobby width is decreased below that specified, it can provide difficulties in machine room layout. Misr aby ‘eh te or dea nia a “Tabac” “or opt Marnie! Se uo wna Tete | Seatac!

The main criteria which determine the layout to be used are: + Design of the building, particularly the physical constraints imposed by dimensional or loading limitations. + Performance of the elevator system in speed and capacity. + Optimum utilisation of available floor space.

They are particularly advantageous for existing buildings or other situations where loading on the structure of the building must be kept as small as possible. In addition the machine room of a hydraulic system can be located remotely, supplying poer to the lift cylinder trom upto 15 meters away. Hydraulic methods are not generally adopted for intensively used elevator systems or high rise applications. otisIntroduction ‘Modern elevator systems are driven by hydraulic, or electric motion. The main criteria which decide the method to be used for a specific design aro: + Elevator speed + Intensity of elevator us + Headroom constraints + Passenger comfort + Energy consumption + Site constraints, + Capital and operating costs. Machines used to provide electric traction drive are designed with three main types of drive. Generally these are: + Single Speed AC Geared Machine up to 0.7 metres per second. ‘+ Varlable Voltage Variable Frequency geared ‘machines for speeds up to 2.5 metres per second, + Direct Drive DC or Variable Voltage Variable Frequency gearless machines for speeds 0f 2.5 metres per second, and above. Hydraulic Systems Otis hydraulic drive systems have a motor-pump unit which supplies pressurised fluid via flexible hoses to a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder provides the olevator car with motion indirectly. An electric motor drives the pump. Control of the system is by electro-hydraulic valves: ascent is driven under Pressure and descent under gravity using the weight of the elevator car. ‘They are ideally applicable to ow rise non-intensive trattic and buildings with height restriction.aa General Because an elevator car normally spends a large percentage of its time stationary during Passenger transfor, the officiency of the entrance system is a major factor in overall elevator system efficiency.

They are of ‘modular design, ranging from the simplest form of control to the most up-to-date and the system by a ‘landing call’. eed ‘+ Passengers in an elevator car inform the systom of their destination by a ‘car call’. + The elevator’s operational control system responds to passengers’ demands by issuing appropriate commands to the elevator’s motion controller. Single Automatic Pushbutton Operation - SAPB a = XS = =z cc et a i—] CF o = a > ad —_ ao © Tho simplest system. The car rests at the last floor served. When a landing call is received, the car travels to the relevant floor. Once the passenger has boarded and indicated the destination (car cal) the car is exclusive to that passenger, and will ignore other landing calls Until the destination floor is reached @ During this time, pressing landing call buttons will luminate the UP/DN arrows lamp and the call button will not light. © The control system does not memorise landing calls received while the car is in use. Landing call buttons must be re-pressed when the UP-ON lamp extinguishes. The system is recommended only for light traffic, and with manual entrances to a maximum of eight floors. 12Evevaton Operations Down Collective Operation - One Car (Simplex) @ The car normally rests at the main floor. Main floor has an UP’ call button. Floors above have ‘DOWN’ call buttons. The controller ‘memorises landing and car calls. This system is ideal for residential buildings. | When more than one landing call is received, the car will travel to the highest call, stopping at other landing calls during the descent. @ During an "UP" journey from the main floor, the car ignores all landing calls, stopping at car calls in floor sequence. After the highest car call floor, the car will descend, stopping at landing and car calls in floor sequence back to the main floor. © The system is sultable only for light traffic. Intorfloor traffic is poorly served by this system and it should be used only when traffic is mainly up from, and down to, the main floor eg. residential buildings. Down Collective Operation - Two Cars (Duplex) © 6 Oversee as ne sinter bt With no calls in the system, one car rests at the main floor, the other normally at the last floor served, unless that was the main floor, when the car will park at a midway point. When a landing call is received, the microprocessor calculates which car is nearest to the call If a series of landing calls is received, a car will be despatched to the highest call, and then work. down in floor sequence. ‘The microprocessor constantly monitors the system and re-assigns calls when necessary.Full Collective Operation - One Car (Simplex) @ ‘VP’ and ‘DOWN’ landing call buttons are provided on all floors except the lowest floor which has an “UP” button, and the highest floar which has a ‘DOWN’ button, Landing call buttons illuminate when pressed to indicate that the call is registered. @ Landing calls and car calls are memorised and handled In logical sequence according to the direction of travel of the car and independent of the order in which the calls were registered. a” = XS = 4 c a o S 3 o = = J al —s cao © The Full Collective system handles inter-floor traffic well and is suited to most applications within its handling ‘capacity. Full Collective Operation - Two Cars (Duplex) or More @ Duplex operates as the Simplex but. ‘With no calls in the system, one car rests at the main floor, the other normally at tho last floor served (unless it was the main floor, when the car will park ‘al a midway point). When a landing call is received, the microprocessor calculates which car is nearest to the call, travelling in the required direction. Each car responds to its ‘own car calls in logical sequence, depending upon direction of travel, and takes landing calls as assigned by the microprocessor. ‘The microprocessor constanily monitors the system and re-assigns calls when necessary. ‘When the Full collective (upto 8 olovators) Duplex. principle is extended to cover more than two lifts to ‘operate them as a co-ordinated system it becomes a Full colloctive Group. With no calls in the system one car rests at the main floor, the others are distributed evenly throughout the other floors. Each elevator has its own microprocessor controller and each controller has the ability to perform the group supervisory role, so that, in the event of an levator failure, the remaining elevators continue to operate as a co-ordinated system. @Minimum Civil Dimensions For Passenger Elevators SS Sa ee reer ae ranaons e SS rer eis . es sea el el eee wis | 4 | ‘mes po fe) esl (sles . 063, 1170 | 940 | 1600 | 1400 | *760 | 1600 | 3550 | 1350 4000 a | Ae Fee feo] (eel esate ee Fi z a [es aa el ee ence ee Ss Sse Sea 1.00 2250 | 4100 4300 oe ee |, fe) ol eed [elf g 150 3300 | 4300 rons Eee nada (cea (eal cco : wwe anao| com | oo fro | eon] ow [ow [mo > 13 384 — Se ee ite ese [a [aloo ce [a Pe ese essa | Spey cael ss Vea ee: = Beem | se] (ella |-sa] el eae ee er een sama) ell vel es Sm ee [220 sca asl afm a - 70 cette os Pp Se 2) The automatic door elevator configurations are based on 2 panel cenre opening doors 8)Passenger Elevators | {arr —F ioe ia BES} a aera ny 6 3 4 tnmanee 2000 | dag. owen’ wos it 5 Rouen sth. seonow i Se Paes ce Bo, super E ‘covers 3 pase, enTRANE Bo vas 1 ase ey OMNER sso i A TAR RSDE a BU ame Hie 8 ELEVATION Tene HOISTWAY PLAN Al dimensions are in mm ois ay The World's No.1 @ eeePanoramic Elevators ‘One Glass Panel on rear side 1000. c 1000 thse (Bo +200 | ee Poesia 28 lusoeRsoe o* MACHEN ROOM SAD 1 AL was wow MACHINE—ROOM PLAN ren) * Geovin tre” “AS aa iooR Pee FoR eaPosib ENvaoueNt rr = "nee = Fitetoea Looe wit. | pea ee | MACHINE: BEAUS,OEARNC ~ | £ + I TOTAL FIN WOISTWAY ELEVATION Pee Boe H fa mom Ss] 6 | 8] mo] 3] 16] 7 Le} us euros TOAD [340 HE 108 WE [ste WG |ee0 we ORa Welo90 Wl ene 170-| 1100_| 1300 | 1550 | 2000 | 2000 | 2000 nN ‘az0_| t000 | 100_| 1800_| 100_[_1300_[ 1580 cara 7850"| 1800 | 2060-| 2030-| 2700-| 2700 | 2000 | ph 400 | 1600 | 1700} 1900] 1700 | 1900 | 7150] “\,. ay #00 | 800 | 00 | 900 | 900 | 1000 [ 1000 HOISTWAY PLAN a 125 su. pROUECTON, All dimensione are In mm @Panoramic Elevators (Glass Panels on rear) r SO, STRUCT SAB Ty op m00y AN exmeance 2000 | UMBERSBE oF uaciune-Roow s.an 4800 | u ise ELEVATION 2 Fe omens wos ay 2 sn Brngsivar As BEvAToR Saale ane: ES ecu STRUCTURAL FLogR 1808 gl UL Segme e wise ear el 350 Vo) Pass paso 10 13 1670 Loan [S44 KG.|680 KG. ae KE, owe e980 KG Tr00 [1360 7350, 7600 [1600 1s00_|1400 1700. 7700_|-2000 MACHINE-ROOM PLAN F yi Of nr 2350 | 2600) 200) 2300 | 3080 1300_|1300 1600) 7600 [1800 300 300 1000 [1000 72200 | 2200) 2500, 2500_| 2600 i 4 c ‘HOISTWAY PLAN All dimensions are in mm otis as eats /Panoramic Elevators (Five Glass Panels on rear) Tae AOGE i ‘con Bois ‘000 a & trastwar eeiow t wat 23 | ig GE 3 Jai 2 \7 Ty z 13 | 3] a Font Hast |i | na, elf | ! lames} ¢] 8 8 l he Sd Ee TI 3 , a | 0 Re | 8 x le 3 5 wi oe cmie's wore ‘Geasmetre. “= MACHINE—ROOM PLAN ue Le * nce noom TR ROE is i) Secu tor = le Soret, cass k : “sae og f Sseuare a | Se Z i) geome sue A u 3 eat thane ae L, “Toate tease, “MABE Leta ELEVATION $0 vrs 1 Pase oR ad woan TATBICTDIETF[G] ,,, TRAST . 884 Kgl 900][2100|2700) 1200] €00| 2800) 1600] TorAC rac Foy —HSE [1088 Ka] 1100] 2200] 3000] 1250] 900] 3000] 1700] HOISTWAY PLAN ss) AAll dimensions are in mmPanoramic Elevators (Circular Glass on rear) 1088 kgs.

It is a hi tech product incorporating sophisticated electronic circuitry. And s0 the job of installing an elevator is a specialized one. It is performed by trained and skilled Otis technicians facing many odds at construction sites. Olts is as kean as its customers to ensure that elevators are installed and handed over in time, without any defect. Otis is making every effort to keep its technicians well informed and trained in the latest installation techniques and to provide the best of tools and safety kits. ‘The customer plays an important role in ‘enhancing our technician's efficiency. By strictly adhering to the following set of guidelines, the customer will not only provide a safe working environment for our technicians but will also protect the elevator from possible damage at site. This in turn will result in controlling cost land also saving valuable time ~ Thus mutually benefiting both the Customer and Otis. Machine - Room 1. Safe Access Way The passage to be adequately lit and should be lear of any tripping hazards. The staircase to have sufficient tread area preferably of masonry ‘construction and equipped with handrails. The machine room door to always open outwards land only inwards if the platform is less than the full swing of the door + 600 mm. Safe entry to machine room is a pre-requisite to enable technicians, engineers, inspactors (litt, building, fire) and later, mechanics to move in and out freely. In an emergency it helps to quickly set things right 2. Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers Provide ELCB on main 280 V-1HP input to machine-room. This will supply the hoistway light, pit lights and car light. The ELCB helps to minimise the danger of shock to elevator users and to mochanics. 3. Lighting / Ventilation ‘Adequate lighting to carry out mechanical electrical work safely and efficiently, Adequate Yontilation to keep machine room temperature below 40°C. Fault finding and repair work can be performed Guickly to minimise inconvenience to the customer. Cool machines run more etticientiy with lower failure rate. 4. Trapdoor The trap door must be fabricated to comfortably support tho woight of persons walking over i whilo cartying out their normal course of work ‘Tho trap door cover should not suddenly give way when two or three persons stand on it. A poorly designed trap door may suddenly ‘collapse endangering the lives of technicians working in the machine-room. 5. Hoisting Beams / Hooks Must have safe working load clearly indicated.aa ee a Hoistway 1. Scaffolding Afirm, stable, and sturdy scaffolding erected in the hoistway. Technicians become more confident when they step onto a strong scaffolding. Their fear of falling is greatly reduced and they can concentrate better on giving you a quality job faster. 2. Barriers Barriers should be provided across all open. entrances in the form of 9 strips at 42°, 18" and a toe board 4” in height. An adequate barrier will save any curious passerby or technicians from accidentally walking into and falling down an unguarded hoistway ~ Avoid chance of fatal accident. 3. Separator Screen In case there Is more than one elevator in a ‘common lift well, a separator screen should be provided between the two elevator heistways. This could be either of masonry construction or 4 wiremesh stretched between the separator beams. Note: In case of a “Fire Lift", the separator must, be a masonry wall This minimises the risk of any elevator ‘component accidently protruding into the adjacent holstway where the other elevator is ruoning. 4. Lighting Properly earthed lighting arrangements to be provided in the hoistway in the form of 230V- 100W bulkhead fitings at each floor level with its switch in the machine-room, The pit light should be controlled individually by a switch accessible from ground floor entrance. The line to the midway junction box which feeds the car light should also be controlled by a switen provided in the machine-room. Visibility in the hoistway is very poor especially when landing doors are of the panel type. Emergency repairs take much longer where lighting is inadequate, 5. Ladder A Steel Ladder should be provided in the pit for convenient access, The ladder must extend to at least 1” above the lowest landing as indicated in the illustration. Pit-Light Switch & Pit-Stop must be accessible from entrance. A strong ladder is required to provide safe access to the pit to work on the elevator and to carty out routine maintenance of elevator components located in the pit 6. Water Proofing The elevator pit well must be thoroughly water proofed. If water enters the pit well it could render the travelling cables unsafe and also cause the ‘other equipment to rust. Water in the electrical cables can cause serious malfunctioning of the elevator and result in heavy repair bills. 7. Surroundings In the construction stage, access to the elevator and its adjacent working areas must be safe at all times, There should be no tripping hazards, loose hanging electrical wires or dangers from any falling objects. Accidents to technicians could prove to be fatal and lead to legal complications. Serious injuries to technicians at the erection stage could disrupt installation and job completion schedules of the elevator. Such delays are better avoided for obvious reasons. 8. Amenities Basic Amenities like safe drinking water and reasonable toilet facilities for technicians working at sits must be provided. Adequate measures to control the menace of mosquitoes must also be taken, In the absence of sate drinking water, technicians are prone to fall il. Contaminated water could lead to dangerous diseases. Presence of mosquitoes may cause malaria If adequate toilet facilities are not provided technicians may have no alternative but to use comers and niches ~ rendering the site highly unhygenic. penance teRecommended Elevator Speed As Per Indian Standards: 1860 7) —] ae [- 4 No. Of Floor Speed Ld 4tos 0.5 to 0.75 m/s i=] to 12 75 to 1.5 mis = 13 to 20 bove 1.5 m/s 4 oa i} — = Indian Standards —} ‘The following Indlan Standards provide essential information for planning slovator installations. = ‘CODE No. L YEAR TITLE = 1s:1060 | 1980 Cade of pracce for insalation, operation and maintenance of blectic passenger and goods elevators is:360¢ | 1976 Outline aimensions of electric elevators 1$:4656 | 1980 | Speciation for elettc passenger and goods elevators. 18:2147 | 1962 | Degrees of protection provided by enclosures for low-voltage switch gear and contol gear. is:2148 | 1981 Flameproot enclosures for electrical apparatus. is:ss71 | 1970 Guide for solecton of electrical equipment for hazardous areas. \s:5572 1908 Classication of hazardous areas (ther than mines) having | flammable gases and vapours for electrical installation. is:4501 | 1968 Code of practi for instalation and maintonance of escalators | ws:esc2 | 10972 Nomenclature of floors and storeys | ts:6003 | 4971 Electc service elevators 1s:6620 | 1972 odo of rates for ation, oporaton and maionance of Standards may be obtained from: Bureau of Indian Standards Manek Bhavan 9, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi - 110 002.
