BASIC DESCRIPTION

APPLICATION

Passenger lifts are lifts installed permanently, which serves given stopping levels, for the vertical

transport of people and goods. They are available in various load capacity configurations and are

intended for multistory buildings in the Commercial, Industrial and Residential sectors. The

Altivate range offers the latest in Machine Room Less technology.

Our lifts use counterweights which equal the weight of the lift plus 40% of its maximum rated load.

This counter-weight reduces the weight the motor must lift and ensures that the lift cannot fall

out of control while the cable is intact. Our traction drum machines has cable running from the lift

car, up and once around a drive drum attached to the hoist motor, then back to the counterweight.

The lift car and the counterweight each run in their own sets of guide rails. A second governor

cable runs from the car up to a governor pulley, then down to a tension pulley at the bottom of the

lift shaft, and up to the car again. This cable rotates the governor pulley at a speed directly

proportional to the speed of the car. In the event of excessive car speed, the governor uses

another cable to activate the emergency brake jaws which grip the guide rails and slow the car to a

stop.

A set of electronic laser light switchews located owards the side of the lift car activates the lift

VVVF drive unit to slow and stop the car at the proper floor. As the car approaches the desired

floor a floor plate activates the VVVF slow-down switch, which signals the hoist motor to reduce

speed. When the car is aligned with the outer door opening, the plate activates a speed switch to

stop the car. If the door zone switches also sense that the car is in the proper location, the electric

door opening motor is activated to open both the inner car door and the outer floor door.

Modern commercial buildings commonly have multiple lifts with a unified control system. The

object of the control system is to minimise the average time any passenger spends from the time

the lift call button is pushed to the arrival of the first available lift. Different systems use different

levels of sophistication. The simplest systems use a single up and down button on each floor

regardless of the number of lifts. When a passenger calls for a lift, the controller sends the nearest

lift that is traveling in the desired direction. The approach of a lift car is signaled by an illuminated

arrow or indicator panel above the lift’s doors pointing up or down.

Sep-17 V0 Altivate – Commercial Passenger Lifts - Technical Manual P a g e | 10

LIFT SHAFT CONDITIONS

The shaft should be completely enclosed (with walls, floor and roof). Accesses to the shaft should

be equipped with a solid core metal door. The door should have mechanical locking and electrical

locking control.

Only machinery, equipment, electrical wiring, raceways, and cables directly in connection with the

lift, including wiring for signals, for communication with the lift car, for lighting, heating, air

conditioning, and ventilating the lift car, for fire detecting systems, for pit sump pumps, and for

heating and lighting the hoistway and/or the machinery space machine room, control space, or

control room are be permitted to be installed inside the lift shaft, machinery space, machine room,

control space, or control room.

GUIDING SYSTEM

A set of steel beams above the car, called the crosshead, span the lift shaft from side to side and

hold the pulley for the hoist cable. A steel structure, called the sling, extends down the sides of

the car from the crosshead and cradles the floor, or platform.

Steel guide rollers or guide shoes are attached to the top and bottom of the sling structure on

each side to run along the guide rails. The guide rails are also steel and are attached to the interior

walls of the lift shaft which runs from the top of the building to the bottom. Good quality rails and

precise splicing are required to ensure the correct operation of the lift.

GUIDE STRUCTURE FASTENING SYSTEM

Anchors are used to fix the guide assembly to the shaft walls by means of inter-adjustable

brackets. These parts will be fixed to the guides with rail clips. The walls where the guides are

fixed should be of structural masonary/concrete or consist of a metal structure with horizontal

shapes on a level with the fastenings. In the case of hollow brick walls, recessed metal shapes

should be provided to weld the guide fixing parts or else use grommets with backing plates if the

wall is accessible from the rear side.

LIFT CAR & CABIN FITOUT

The Altivate lift car is constructed with a steel framework for durability and strength. The sides of

the passenger lift car are made from heavy duty steel to improve the ride quality, reduce noise and

vibration and increase the system’s life span.

The lift cabin is trimmed on the inside with decorative paneling. The floor of the car may be tiled

or carpeted. Handrails and other interior trim may be made from stainless steel for appearance

and wearability. A suspended ceiling is usually hung below the actual top of the car and may

contain LED lighting above plastic diffuser panels. The lift controls, alarm buttons, and emergency

telephone are contained behind panels in the front of the car, next to the doors.

The standard Altivate fitout includes;

Cabin Walls Hairline stainless steel

Special lift cars can be provided to suit irregular shaped lift shafts.

For the four standard lift car configurations the doors can be arranged as;

Centre opening – Two powered door panels that part simultaneously

Side opening – Two power operated panels are geared together. One door moves twice as

fast as the other door so that both doors will meet concurrently in the open position.

DOOR OPERATION METHOD

City Lifts’ doors are high quality and have a two hour fire rating. The lift doors are opened by a

power unit that is located on top of the lift car. When a lift car is level with a floor landing, the

power unit moves the car door open or closed. A pick-up arm contacts rollers on the landing door

which releases the door latch on the landing door. The power unit opens the car door which in

turn opens the lanfding door.

MACHINE (OVERHEAD TRACTION)

City Lifts provide precision made high torque,

permanent magnet, synchronous motor

gearless traction machines. They are

equipped with a Heidenhain digital encoder

to ensure a smooth speed curve providing

exceptional ride quality.

Machines are also fitted with 2:1 roping

which reduces the Kilowatt rating of the

machine required for carrying a certain

amount of load resulting in better efficiency.

A gearless machine consumes up to 30% less

power compared to a geared machine.

These machines are sealed for life and do not

require any type of oiling. There is no risk of

oil contamination or spill to the ground.

Also, the machines provide a smooth ride for

the passengers as there is low noise and

nearly unlimited floor travel without

vibration. Harmonics noise is totally

eliminated.

Disc brake technology provides a secured

stop. Brake adjustment is more convenient

and noise free.

Frequent stop and start operation will not

affect the impact on the motor. Negligible

wear and tear and less maintenance is

required and provides a longer life span.

These Machines are used for low as well as

for high speed application.

ELECTRICAL CONTROL SYSTEM

MACHINE ROOMLESS INTEGRATED FULL SERIAL VVVF CONTROL CABINET

Designed based on variable frequency speed regulation

technology and lift control technology, the lift integrated

drive and controller is an ideal combination of a lift drive and

a lift controller. Its dual 32-bit embedded microprocessor

unit allows it to complete both lift operation and motor drive

functions simultaneously. The multiple lift operation

functions can satisfy customers' different application

requirements. In addition, the lift integrated drive and

controller offers improved performance, usage convenience,

and economical efficiency, and it also features compact

structure, small size, few wire connections and high

reliability.

Why do we use Integrated Lift Controllers?

1. Lifts with the integrated controllers offer higher safety

standard, because the control system and drive system

both offer safety protection functions. Meanwhile, the anti-

interference capability of the integrated system exceeds

the highest level of related industrial standards.

2. Due to CAN bus serial communication, the lift integrated

drive and controller is provided with simple wire

connections, strong data transmission capability and high

reliability. It also offers high compatibility, as it is

applicable for both synchronous motors and asynchronous

motors. Incremental ABZ encoders can be utilised to

achieve synchronous motor control.

3. The adoption of advanced vector control technology allows

the lift integrated drive and controller to offer superior

motor speed regulation performance, thus enabling the lift

to offer passengers comfortable feeling. Our newly

developed load sensor free start compensation technology

also allows the lift to provide comfortable feeling while

starting without installation of a load weighing device.

4. The lift integrated controller offers higher operation efficiency, it also offers group control

function. It is able to control a maximum eight lifts synchronously, and also supports group

control of lifts aiming to the same floors.

5. Desig based on new PWM dead time compensation technology and dynamic PWM carrier

modulation technology, the lift integrated drive and controller is able to reduce motor noise

and motor loss effectively.

6. Due to improved hardware design, the lift integrated drive and controller offers a maximum

junction temperature of 175℃, switch loss. This ensures the long service life of the equipment.

MAIN FEATURES

1. The lift integrated drive and controller is designed with closed loop vector controller for higher

performance.

2. Zero-speed torque compensation system without load weighing device helps save cost.

3. New PWM dead-zone compensation technology is conducive to energy conservation.

4. Dynamic PWM carrier modulation technology ensures reduced motor noise.

5. The lift integrated drive and controller is suitable for both synchronous and asynchronous

motor.

6. Dual 32-bit embedded microprocessor.

7. Incremental encoder is employed to control synchronous motor.

ADVANTAGES

1. A roomless control cabinet is easier to adjust.

2. This lift control system is able to achieve humanised functions such as duplex control, group

control, remote monitoring and emergency rescue, making lift operation safer.

3. Higher stability and better lift travel feeling are achieved due to the excellent VVVF drive system.

LANDING OPERATING PANEL

These buttons are on a panel on the outside of the elevator shafts, near the

landing doors and are used by passengers to call a lift to the floor that the

pressed summon button is located on. There are two Hall buttons on each

floor – one for up, another for down, except on the top floor where there is

only down and on the bottom floor where there is only up. The controller

interacts with these buttons by receiving press and release signals

indicating the requested direction and floor number. It also sends light

on/off signals to indicate the status of the buttons.

HALL POSITION INDICATOR

Indicators near each landing door show the current floor location of the lift

and direction of travel. The standard Altivate models incorporate a 4’’ LCD

hall position indictor into the landing operating panel.

SAFETY

Altivate lifts are all equipped with two primary safety mechanisms: a governor which activates in

case of over speed and the emergency safety gear which consists of jaws that grip the guide rails.

We also provide electromechanical door interlocks to prevent the lift from operating if the door is

not completely closed and to protect passengers whilst riding in the lift. The same door interlocks

also prevent the outer doors on each landing from being opened if the lift is not present.

If an emergency does occur there is an alarm siren that can be activated from inside the cabin and

there is also a two-way, hands free, telephone that provides passengers with instant

communication to our 24/7 customer care centre.

Our installation team laser levels the lift car and landings to prevent trip hazards. We also provide

a deluge of modern lighting to safeguard entry and exit and this also reduces the risk of unwanted

behavior.

At the completion of every installation we conduct a thorough handover to all stakeholders,

ensuring correct system operating.

An optional UPS backed Automatic Rescue Device can be provided – in the event of a main power

supply failure and the lift is stopped between two floors it is moved to floor level , the automatic

doors are opened and passengers are out safely. If the lift is at floor level, then the doors are

automatically held open.

PRE-START CHECKLIST

City Lifts is committed to providing on time and on budget projects. We require your assistance to

achieve this aim. Before installation of the lift commences at your site it is important that the

following pre-start checklist is completed by you.

1. The lift shaft, landings and pit must be complete, clean, dry and adequately protected against

incoming water and inclement weather.

2. The lift shaft dimensions are as per the approved layout drawings, including all hall and

overhead beam penetrations.

3. All penetrations, lifting points or beams are in place, as shown on the approved drawings.

4. The lift shaft openings are protected as per local industry regulations and/or contract layout

drawings.

5. Finished floor levels are indicated on each landing (F.F.L).

6. Electrical power must be available with adequate capacity (both for installation tooling and lift

mains) and be correctly located as per the approved drawing.

7. A phone line must be available and be correctly located as per the approved drawing.

8. The unloading area, and transportation route to both the storage area and lift shaft must be

LIFT SHAFT DIMENSIONS

In order to install the lift(s) the lift shaft must respect dimensional tolerances and plumb-ness as

specified on the approved layout drawings. Also the exact floor levels at each landing must be

indicated nearby the entrance (e.g. by a 1,000 mm mark). Dimensional non-conformities in lift

shaft are likely to require re-ordering of material or re-work and cause delays. They therefore

potentially generate extra cost. We strongly emphasise the need for accurate lift shaft dimensions,

tolerances and plumb-ness (+30 mm/- 0 mm) The shaft walls are to be concrete or filled with

reinforced block work that is able to properly hold masonry fasteners. Blocks should be filled every

3 to 4 courses. The shaft construction must attenuate vibrations & sound traveling into building

below 45dBA.

LIFT SHAFT

SAFE ACCESS & STAIRWAYS

Safe access to landings is essential. Access should be possible by means of fixed stairways with

fall prevention (e.g. temporary handrails) over the complete transportation / access route.

Stairways and access routes should be illuminated. The use of ladders to gain access to either the

site, storage facility or the lift shaft is not acceptable.

UNLOADING & STORAGE

In order to enable efficient material distribution it is important that the material can be unloaded

from the delivery truck within a distance of 50 metres of the storage / unit location and have clear,

rollable access from unloading area to storage area.

Onsite - Provide 30m², secure & weatherproof storage for City Lifts equipment and materials when

delivered to site within 20 metres of lift shaft and located on lowest landing served, with clear and

level access between unloading/ storage area and lift shaft.

In the event that storage on the Site as specified above is not available, the Customer shall be

liable for storage costs of $250.00 per unit per month.

Customer is responsible for all traffic control at the site during delivery of the equipment to the

site.

Commencement - Please note: If your site is not ready for delivery on the scheduled date of

commencement (“Commencement Date”) and you do not advise City Lifts six (6) weeks prior to the

Commencement Date then storage costs of $250.00 per month per unit or pro rata for each part

of a month will charged to the contract as a variation. These storage costs will continue until such

time as the site is ready for delivery.

AVAILABILITY OF PHONE LINE

Prior to the commencement of installation, provide a dedicated analogue phone line, terminated at

a final distribution point on the inside of the shaft at the top floor served within 3 metres of the

controller panel. The availability of the phone-line is a very frequent cause for delays. We

recommend taking special care in the timely availability of the telephone line since it is critical for

receiving a safe to work certificate. In the event that the phone line is not available when required,

the customer shall be liable for re-establishment costs should City Lifts have to leave and return

back to site to finalise the project. The installation and on-going rental fees of the phone line shall

be at the builders/clients cost.

RISKS TO BE COVERED

Risk to be Covered Description

Breakage of suspension

elements

In case of breakage of one of the drive chains/cables, there

are additional safety cables to support the load (with

adequate safety coefficients). There are electrical contacts

that detect drive cable breakage and stops operation.

Slackening of suspension

elements

Each drive cable has a tensioner and electrical contact

detection system which would detect slackening and

breakage, stopping movement.

Go past upper stop level

An electrical safety limit switch is provided in each upper

guide section. It shuts off movement if activated when the lift

car goes past the upper stop level.

Fall into the shaft from a

stopping level

The shaft must be for sole use by the lift car and be fully

enclosed by walls, floor and roof. Doors of proper strength

have to be fitted at each landing. Also all the doors have to

be equipped with mechanical engagement and electrical

locking control to prevent a door from being opened when

the lift is not at that level.

Persons trapped at a service

level

Landing doors are provided at each service level and there is

an electrical safety contact that informs of door closed status.

If a door leaf opens, the circuit is broken and movement is

halted.

Persons trapped in the pit,

during maintenance operations

A mechanical frame locking system is provided, which

prevents it from descending below a pit safety height. Access

to the locking system is from the floor door and it has an

electrical safety contact which prevents movement when

activated. In addition, a pit button panel is supplied with a

safety stop. This device is supplied, in line with standard

practice in lifts, to be activated prior to access to the pit. It

also comes with a pit access detection system, which comes

into action if the lower level door is opened when the lift is

not situated at a defined stopping level. This lock is not

overridden when the power supply is shut off and restored. It

is only cancelled when the panel Reset button is pressed.

Locks are also provided with emergency disengagement from

the interior of the shaft.

Lifting more than maximum

load

The car overload device prevents the lift doors from closing

while a lift is loaded beyond its rated load capacity and

simultaneously sounds a warning buzzer as well as providing

visual indication.
