Control functions

Control function at upper and lower entrance

Running/ Stopping can be controlled at both the upper and lower entrance of the escalator

Yes

 

Yes

Up/Down reversal function

Running Up/ Running down of the escalator can be selected freely.

Yes

Yes

Display of running direction

Running direction can be displayed through the indicator at the entrance of escalator

Yes

Yes

Photo-electric input status setting

Photo-electric input status can be set, i.e. the set up of input status for NO/ NC.

Yes

Yes

Humanized LCD operator

LCD operator board provides not only the display of escalator’s speed, direction and status but also the parameter setting and fault indication, etc.

Yes

Yes

Inspection control

Escalator inspection control can be operated through the inspection handle.

Yes

Yes

Energy saving mode

When no passenger approach the escalator within a presetting period, the escalator will run in low speed or rest for saving energy. Escalator entrances should be provided with photo-electric detectors.

Yes

No

Soft braking

In case no passenger approach the escalator within a presetting period and the escalator speed reduces to0.2m/s or below, the brake system will operate.

This braking method can reduce the wearing of the brake device.

Yes

No

Emergency braking

For super high-rise escalator, emergency brake is applied when over speed, reverse running, breakage ofdrive-chain, slip of still escalator is detected

Yes

Yes

Automatic lubrication

User can setup the time interval between automatic

lubrications, and also the consecutive time period in each lubrication.

Yes

Yes

Protection against reversed direction entry

During the escalator operating in energy saving mode, when passengers approach in a direction opposite to the escalator running direction, the escalator will alarm the buzzer immediately to alert the passenger. When no passenger approach the escalator after the presetting period, the escalator will resume to energy saving mode

Yes

Yes

 

 

 

 

 

Safety protection

Protection against electric leakage

Protection in case of overload, short-circuit and electric shock.

Yes

Yes

Protection against phase loss and phase reversal

The escalator will stop automatically during phase loss or phase reversal

Yes

Yes

Protection device for electric loop

Automatic circuit cut off device is provided to protect the circuit and power supply components of escalator.

Yes

Yes

Protection against reverse running

The escalator will stop when it has unintentional reverse running.

Yes

Yes

Emergency stop button

Stop the escalator unconditionally through that button

Yes

Yes

Protection against drive chain breaking

The escalator will stop when drive chain is elongated or broken.

Yes

Yes

Protection against overload

The escalator will stop when the running current is greater than the rated current

Yes

Yes

Brake button at upper and lower terminal of the escalator

Operation panel with brake buttonis provided on the skirting panel of upper and lower entrance of the escalator.

Yes

Yes

Step chain safety protection

The escalator will stop when the step chain is elongated or broken.

Yes

Yes

Step operation safety protection

The escalator will stop when the step is sagging, deformed or broken.

Yes

Yes

Protection against upthrust of step

The escalator will stop when foreign bodies being trapped between steps and the steps are upheaved

Yes

Yes

Protection against sagging of step

The escalator will stop when step roller is worn or foreign bodies being sandwiched.

Yes

Yes

Skirting panel protection

The escalator will stop when foreign bodies being trapped between the step and the skirting panel

Yes

Yes

Comb teeth protection

The escalator will stop when foreign bodies being trapped between the step and the comb teeth and may possibly damage the comb teeth.

Yes

Yes

Handrail entrance protection

The escalator will stop when foreign bodies being trapped inside the handrail entrances.

Yes

Yes

Protection against handrail breakage

The escalator will stop when the handrail is broken.

Yes

Yes

Protection againstupper/ lower inspection mode actuated simultaneously

Prohibit the escalator from operation when the inspection modes at upper and lower landing are actuated simultaneously.

Yes

Yes

Monitoring functions

Protection against contactors being stuck

Prohibit the escalator from operation when the operating contactor and the braking contactor are being stuck

Yes

Yes

Braking switch inspection

Through the examination of the brake switch to determine whether the brake is normally open or released and to take corresponding measures.

Yes

Yes

Monitoring of over peed and under speed

The escalator will stop when the escalator speed is over or under the rated speed

Yes

Yes

Monitoring of handrail speed

The escalator will stop when the handrail speed is higher or lower than the step speed.

Yes

Yes

Protection against lacking/damagingof steps

The escalator will stop when lacking or damaging of escalator steps is detected.

Yes

Yes

Automatic display of fault

Automatically diagnose and display the faultson LCD.

Yes

Yes

Safety switches monitoring

Monitorevery safety switch and display their status on LCD of the main board, which is convenient for fault inspection in the field.

 

Yes

Yes

Group monitoring

In monitoring centre

The user can monitor the operation status of every escalator in the monitoring escalator group on the computer of the monitoring centre, and fault alarming is also possible.

 

Option

Option

Remote monitoring

 

The user can remote monitor the operation status of the escalator through the use of telephone lines, and fault alarming is also possible.
