LIFT RESCUE OPERATIONS / TRACTION MR – GEARED MOTOR

Only authorized and trained persons are allowed to attempt a lift rescue
operation and unlock the doors with the triangular key. These persons are
practically the technicians of the maintenance company. It is recommended,
if there is no serious reason, the rescue operation to be carried out by the
personnel of the maintenance company.

Before performing lift rescue operation, please consult owner’s documentation

 Leave someone (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 all landing doors are closed. Place a sign on all of the landing doors warning about the
potential risk (for example: DANGER! LIFT OUT OF SERVICE).

RESQUE OPERATION
STEP 1
Switch off the Door Power Supply MCB (FLDAC).
STEP 2
Use the Recall Switch (MAN), to set the controller to recall operation.

STEP 3
If the overspeed governor is equipped with anti-creep system (against unintended movement from the
landing), its electromagnet shall be manually lifted before go on with any car movement.

STEP 4
On the machine notice the flywheel (Point B in Figure 2) and the brake lever, which releases manually
the motor brake (Point A in Figure 2).
On the flywheel notice the label that indicates the moving direction of the car (Point C in Figure 2).
Release the brake by using the brake lever and turn the flywheel in the direction that is more convenient
in order to move the car.
Continue the process until rope markings across all ropes are seen and are equal with the pointer (Figure
3). The cabin is now in the landing zone.

If the car does not move, call the maintenance company immediately. Wait
for the maintenance person to rescue the trapped persons. Before leaving
the installation, after a successful or unsuccessful rescue operation, ensure
that all landing doors are closed and the main power switch is OFF.

STEP 5
Release the manual lifting of the anti-creep device of the overspeed governor, so it returns to its
original position and be able to block the overspeed governor’s sheave movement

STEP 6
If the doors do not open automatically, follow the instructions below for unlocking landing doors.
Emergency door release instructions
 Before using the triangular key, ask all persons to stand at least three meters away from the landing
door.
 Open the door no more than 100mm (about fist size). The automatic doors can be opened by using the
key and by pulling in the direction of opening. In some cases though, when the car is behind the landing
door and the battery of the door emergency supplier is not fully discharged, the automatic doors may not
open at once. In such a case, wait 5 minutes until the battery is fully discharged and then repeat the
procedure. In the meantime, try to keep the passengers calm and reassure them that the doors will open
after a short period of time.
 Check if the car is behind the landing door (use a torch if necessary)
 If the car is within 200mm of floor level, fully open the landing door and release the passengers.
 If you can see the car but it is above the floor level close and lock the landing door and move the car.
If the lift car is not visible, without opening the door more than 100mm and without leaning in the well, try
to locate its position. Lock the door and move the lift car to a substantial level

STEP 7
When the car is evacuated, ensure that the doors are closed and locked. Do not try to put the lift back
in operation. Call out the lift service company to rectify the fault.
