The handrail is made of rubber in a C-type profile. The EJV-S type uses a slim handrail base profile.
Two step widths are available - 800 mm and 1000 mm for both 30 and 35 degree with rises up to 9500
mm (only 30 degree escalators can have rises greater than 6000 mm).
Step design
The steps are of a one-piece rigid design and are of high tensile die cast aluminium construction. To
reduce the risk of entrapment, thereby providing maximum passenger safety, the tread plates have
narrow grooves, which mesh with the combs at each landing.
Each step has two step rollers and two chain rollers of 75 mm diameters (rollers inside chain) giving
minimum rolling resistance and maximum life. All steps are interchangeable and can be easily
removed and replaced without removal of the chains, skirts or inside balustrades.
There are two different step chains available. The appropriate chain is selected to suit the construction
code, step width, step band speed and duty cycle, and the customers preferred lubrication method.
The step chains are of the precision roller type with heat-treated links. The pitch of the chains is 133.33
mm. They are fitted with seamless steel tube axles incorporating synthetic rollers, which are oil and
abrasion resistant. The axles are subject only to oscillating motion and only require minimal
maintenance.

2 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
2.1.1 Balustrade
The standard glass balustrade height is 900 mm with slim handrail base profile. Balustrade height of
1000 mm and 1100 mm is available as an option.
The balustrade panels are of 10 mm thick clear tempered glass and are self-supporting without the
need of support mullions. The incline panels are separated into standard lengths and neatly butt up to
each other without cover strips. The joints of the glass are perpendicular to the truss.
The EJV-S standard balustrade profile/handrail guide profile is made of galvanized sheet steel with
black powder-coated finish.
Stainless steel handrail profile is available as an option.
2.1.2 Handrails
The C-type rubber handrails are pre-stretched and provided with high-grade linings. Handrails are
guided by the handrail base profile and are synchronized with the step band.
Plain black handrails are provided as standard. As an option, these can be fitted with white dots to help
partially sighted people see the moving handrail. Other optional colors are red, blue, green brown,
beige and grey (colour details defined by KONE).
2.1.3 Lighting
No lighting is fitted as standard, but various options are available to meet the customers aesthetic and
safety requirements. All of these lighting options illuminate automatically when the escalator is
switched on, or when the direction of travel is selected for an escalator fitted with on-demand starting.
• Skirt lighting - Skirt lights are spot light type with LED lights. The spot lights are installed starting
from the curve and inclined sections at an interval of 600 mm.
• Handrail lighting - Fiber optics handrail lighting is available as an option. The handrail lights comes
in several colors: white, blue, yellow, red, green, pink and purple. The lights can be switched to
display a gradual change in colors, skip a color change, or fix on one color. The intensity of the
lights is 25 Lux/100 mm and it is meant to be decorative instead of lighting the surrounding area.
There is no change in handrail profile (still the slimline type, EJV-S) as the fiber optics are fixed to
the side between the handrail and glass panel with a clip profile and 3M water resistant glue tape.
• Under step lighting (step demarcation lights) with green fluorescent tubes are installed at the
landings under the comb segments to aid passengers when boarding or disembarking
• Comb lights - Comb lights are LED lights to aid passengers when boarding or disembarking from
the moving step band by highlighting the comb segment line.
• Traffic lights - Traffic lights are bicolor LED lights that show the direction of travel of the escalator. It
will have a green scrolling arrow showing the direction of travel and a red bar indicating no entry on
the opposite direction. Traffic lights are equipped as a standard when the optional automatic start is
selected (for standby speed, traffic lights are optional).
As standard, China will have natural aluminium with silver or black painted steps as options. For the
rest of the countries, you can select silver or black. This is a similar color to the die-cast aluminium, so
the step maintains a good visual appearance, even as the paint wears or if it is scratched.
For black powder coated steps, the groove is black while the surface is ground back to the die-cast
aluminium to help the steps maintain a good visual appearance for a longer period.
The standard access covers are made of 1.2 mm thick stainless steel with punched pattern welded to
the steel structure which provides sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand passenger loads.
The grooves are finished in etched black.
The access covers sits within a frame, which is normally manufactured from carbon steel. Only the
visible edge is stainless steel.
Floor numbering is available as an option. The access cover will have a cutout for the etched numbers
to be welded on. The dimension of the floor numbering is available on drawing 520151D10.
The standard comb segments are made of yellow plastic, with black as an option. The easily
replaceable yellow plastic comb segments interlock effectively with the treads of the steps to assist in
the transfer from a moving step to the combplate. The movable bar underneath the combplate will
activate a safety switch to stop the escalator if any foreign object is carried into the combplate. This
minimizes damage to equipment and risk to the public in accordance to EN115.
Yellow colored comb segments provide a clear demarcation between the moving step band and the
combplates. Studies have shown that passengers tend to step over yellow comb segments and
consequently the instances of stoppage due to tripping the comb switches are significantly reduced.
The standard combplate is made of carbon steel and covered by stainless sheet steel (similar to the
access cover).
Skirt panel is constructed of 3 mm sheet steel with black anti-friction coating. Stainless steel skirts in
clear anti-friction coating are available as an option.
Deck material is constructed of 1.5 mm thick stainless steel and is the standard supply. Silver powder
coated decks (EH004J) is available as an option. The deck material is constructed of 1.5 mm thick
carbon steel.
Frontplate is supplied in black plastic as standard, with light gray and blue as frontplate options.
There is no side cladding in the standard supply, only a soffit made of 4 mm thick steel plate in prime
finish. The cladding is available as follows:
– 1.5 mm hairline-brushed stainless steel - available for two sides and soffit
•cladding without sprinkler - shallow type - recess between soffit and cladding is 21.5 mm
•cladding with sprinkler - recess of 105 mm between the soffit and the cladding
– 1.5 mm sheet steel with powder coating in grey available for two sides and soffit
•cladding without sprinkler - shallow type - recess between soffit and cladding is 21.5 mm
•cladding with sprinkler - recess of 105 mm between the soffit and the cladding
– 1.5 mm sheet steel in prime finish (similar color as truss) available for two sides (there will be no
additional panel under the escalator 4 mm soffit).
The maximum allowable weight for cladding is 15kg/m2
Single row skirt brush deflector with aluminium holder is available as an option.
The standard wiring is plastic cables, but halogen free cables are available as an option. Standard
starting is by star-delta with the following available as an option:
Stand-by speed
• Initially the escalator runs in stand-by mode (approximately half travel speed). If an escalator user
walks through the light barrier in the area of at the bottom or top escalator entries, the step band
speed is increased to full travel speed.
• Upon expiration of the normal run-time (travel time plus after-run-time) the step band is switched
automatically back to stand-by mode (for energy saving reasons). Truss extension is not required.
Automatic start/stop (on-demand starting)
Telco sensors are mounted on the handrail inlet panel on both sides at upper and lower landings.
The escalator will start when the sensors detect people 1.3 m from the comb segment intersection line.
The escalator is pre-set to run only in one direction (either up or down). If a passenger tries to enter
from the opposite direction of travel, the escalator will start running in the pre-set direction as a safety
measure to prevent the passenger from using the escalator as a stairway.
After a pre-determined time of 10 second (time is adjustable) when there is no passenger, the
escalator will come to a complete. stop. Traffic lights are standard with this feature.
Truss or access cover extension is not required for this feature.
Please note that autostart by means of contact mat is no longer available.
Operation panel
• The operation panel has a key start switch and a stop button. The operation panel is available at
both upper and lower landings. Customer key switch is not pre-designed
Available supply voltages are:
• 3 x 380V, 50Hz, 220V lighting supply
• 3 x 400V, 50Hz, 230V lighting supply
• 3 x 415V, 50Hz, 240V lighting supply
• 3 x 380V, 60Hz, 220V lighting supply
• 3 x 220V, 60Hz, 110v lighting supply
The escalator control cabinet controls the general operation of the escalator and monitors all safety
devices. This incorporates the latest advances in microprocessor technology and, as a result, has a
much simplified single circuit board construction.
LCD diagnostic display located on the upper left inner deck is available as an option. The controller
cabinet has IP54 and cable has IP65 protection as standard.
Monitoring contacts are available as options. The signals are:
• Escalator stop due to emergency
• Escalator stop due to fault
• Up direction
• Down direction
• Escalator stationary
The controller has the capability for remote monitoring (KoneXion), but the feature itself has to be
ordered separately from KONE Spares unit in Netherlands.
Remote stop is available as an option. It is for connection to customer's building management system
(BMS) or fire alarm system so that the escalator can be stopped in the event of fire (preventing the risk
of transporting passenger to the vicinity of a fire).
2.3.1 Drive
The motor operates with 3 phase, 6 pole induction, F insulation with IP21 protection (IP55 is available
as an option for Jiali motor only). The transmission from gear to main shaft is by chain. Gear type is
worm gear from Flender (current supplier), while SEW motor and helical-worm gearbox is an option.
The steps chains are driven via the main shaft and handrail via handrail drive shaft from the duplex
drive chain.
2.3.2 Truss
The truss is constructed of L-angles. Material of the truss is according KONE spec. 5200750D30,
5200751D30 and 5200752D30, similar to Q235B. The treatment of the truss is painted with primer for
corrosion protection. The maximum deflection is less than 1/750 of the distance between two supports.
The soffit is made of 4 mm thick steel panel welded to the truss structure.
Rise 2 to 6.0 m
No intermediate support required for the following:
– 1) truss package - 35-2/2 R1.0/1.0 with truss extension 0 to 700 mm at top or bottom
– 2) truss package - 35-3/3 R1.0/1.0 with truss extension 0 to 700 mm at top or bottom
– 3) truss package - 30-2/2 R1.0/1.0 with truss extension 0 to 700 mm at top or bottom
Rise 2 to 9.5 m
– truss package - 30-3/3 R1.5/1.0, one intermediate support starting from L > 16370 mm
The support is of removable type and is located at standard location. Customer's specific location is
available as an option. When intermediate support is not allowed, reinforced truss is available as an
option for rise up to 9.5 m.
The step chain is manually lubricated. KONE technicians lubricate the step chain manually during a
regular service visit. The technicians ensure that only the optimum amount of lubricating oil is used to
achieve the service life of the chains; a lightly used escalator requires less lubrication than a heavily
used escalator. This minimizes the accumulation of excess oil within the escalator truss and the
resultant environmental and fire hazards. Automatic step chain lubrication is also available if deemed
necessary for commercial reasons or by the customer.
As an option, lubrication-free step chains are also available. As these do not require regular oil
lubrication, maintenance time is reduced and, as there is no accumulation of oil within the truss,
internal truss cleaning requirements are minimal. Due to their higher initial cost, however, lubrication-
free step chains are normally only considered essential in the following circumstances:
• A long-term maintenance contract is included in the new escalator order. The savings in
maintenance times due to the reduced internal truss cleaning requirements will improve the
profitability of the maintenance contract.
• The escalator is installed in a semi-outdoor or outdoor environment in a coastal or desert location.
With standard chains, sand can stick to the lubricating oil and this effectively makes a grinding
paste. This causes excessive wear in the chains and sprockets, thereby drastically reducing their
service life.
NOTE! The drive chain from motor to main shaft and main shaft to handrail drive are not lubrication-
free. The drive chain is always automatically lubricated by an oiler.
In some countries there is a requirement to be able to manually move the step band while the power
supply is isolated, either for maintenance purposes or to free a trapped passenger. This is commonly
known as hand winding.
The flywheel of the motor serves as a hand winding device which is available as a standard.
The EN115 requires an auxiliary brake to be fitted for extra safety if the escalator rise is > 6.0 m. The
auxiliary brake is available for rises < 6.0 m as an option. The auxiliary brake is fitted to the right side of
the main shaft.
NOTE! Broken drive chain device (mechanical) will not be available when auxiliary brake is fitted.
2.5 Others
2.5.1 Sprinkler
Sprinkler is available as a C option. The sprinkler is only available outside the truss. It is available with
or without cladding. For without cladding, the sprinkler will be visible underneath the soffit.
As the position and spacing of the sprinkler head outlets varies depending on local building
regulations/country codes, Front-lines must specify these when placing the order.
Option is available for seismic requirement, the lower end will have slip-end support and the upper end
with fix-end support.

Notes
1. The shipping container length limit is 11900 mm, and the shipping container height limit is 2560 mm
(for HC) /2260 mm (for GP). The container arrangement is decided by these limits.
2. For non-split (1 section) shipment, the balustrade is partially disassembled. For one or three splits
(2 or 4 sections) shipment, the balustrade is completely disassembled.
3. If there is an intermediate support, the removable intermediate support is temporarily removed for
shipment.
4. If there are more than one escalators in one project, it is possible to optimize the container arrange-
ment. However, the arrangement should be calculated case by case.
