In the event of a power outage, what options are available to you? There’s nothing to worry about. Your commercial property may be affect by power outages cause by the persistent heat of summer and the severe storms that accompany it. Which may result in Elevator Company entrapment or other catastrophic equipment malfunctions.
When the mercury soars, don’t let your visitors be strand in the dark. Instead, prepare your elevators for the next time the power goes out with these essential modifications.
POWERVATOR
Consider purchasing a Powervator to prevent power interruptions. Tenant safety is improve by lowering the risk of passengers becoming trap in the event of a power outage or interruption.
- A battery-power lowering device that can be use in a wide range of elevators, including escalators.
- Allows passengers to securely escape the Elevator Company by lowering the elevators. Opening the cab doors, and then shutting the elevator with the doors open.
- In the event of a power outage, the unit will automatically activate. Will give a range of voltages to ensure smooth operation of the valve and door.
- An On/Off switch on the circuit board and a Push-To-Test button allow for routine diagnostic tests and safe maintenance.
- The trickle charging of maintenance-free gel-cell batteries extends their life expectancy. The buildup of hazardous fumes is eliminate with the use of seal batteries.
- The unit as a whole is CSA certified.
POWER SUPPLY FOR HYDRAULIC AUXILIARY DEVICES – HAPS
Automated rescue of stranded passengers is provided by the Hydraulic Auxiliary Power Supply (HAPS).
- The hydraulic elevator provides power to securely lower the car to a landing and retain door power so passengers can depart the Elevator Company safely.
- When a countdown ends, the computer shuts down to conserve battery life and avoid battery damage from overuse.
- In order to conserve battery life and prevent it from damage, “intelligent rescue” turns off HAPS as soon as the rescue is complete.
- There will be no commercial power interruptions during a rescue effort once it has commenced. This prevents “start and stop” owing to commercial power instability.
TAPS – TRACTION AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY
When commercial power fails, the Elevator Company car’s Traction Auxiliary Power Supply (TAPS*) supplies backup power to keep the doors powered so that passengers can depart safely.
- TAPS builds and maintains a reserve of energy while constantly monitoring the commercial power grid during normal operation.
- TAPS will automatically advance the car to the next landing without requiring a load weighing system, ensuring that energy use is minimize and battery power is conserve for as long as feasible in the event of a power failure.
- Saves battery life by turning off backup power when the emergency has been resolve.
