Floor and fine adjustment switches / Introduction

➀
➂
➁

Floor and fine adjustment switches can be
used to achieve an accurate positioning of the
car in the lift shaft. Considering the use of new
technologies (e.g. USP, position and magnetic
switches) for lift positioning, the floor and fine
adjustment switches today are almost exclusi-
vely utilised as spare part.
The floor and fine adjustment switches meet
the requirements of the standards for the ope-
ration of lifts.
All switches have extraordinary robust metal
enclosures and levers, which are suitable for
any form of operational demand, even under
rough conditions. The two-component levers
can be accurately adjusted towards the set-
ting cams on two levels. The levers are paral-
lel adjustable to the mounting level; the rubber
roller is adjustable perpendicular to it.
In their basic version, all switches are encap-
sulated with an IP 40 protection class. They
are also available with an IP 54 protection
class.
The standard version of the covers are in
transparent thermoplastic. The contact sy-
stem is in accordance with the regulations of
VDE 0660. It is designed for a mechanical life
of 10 million operations.
As floor and fine adjustment switches have to
cover an extensive range of applications, there
are two types of floor switches and one fine
adjustment switch. The floor switches are fitted
to the shaft wall and the corresponding setting
cam is fixed to the lift car. For the upwards and
downwards actuation, individual setting cams
are required. Every cam switches the opposite
contact; the NC contacts are wired in series.
The AFH 122 fine adjustment switch is fitted to
the lift car; the setting cam to the shaft wall.

Universal switches / Introduction
The range of application of the universal
switch is all-purpose. The switch can be used,
amongst other things, as emergency limit
switch, control limit switch, landing switch,
floor levelling switch, fine control switch as
well as oil-leakage switch. Considering the
use of new technologies (e.g. USP, position
and magnetic switches) for lift positioning, the
universal switches today are almost exclusively
utilised as spare part.
These universal switches have been developed
in order to replace the different limit switch
versions required in elevator technology with
one single device. The switching mechanism
and the switch are located in a light-alloy die-
cast enclosure. A transparent cover protects
