TekoS-286mm automatic

Extended and retracted

Functional description

In its normal state the four-part telescopic apron is retracted. Therefore no touch-down or grinding noises occur when the car reaches or leaves the lowest landing.
The total height is only 286mm in the retracted state.
The holding magnet opens, if the emergency unlocking device is activated in the landing doors or in case of a power failure. The apron extends automatically.

UCM - Unintended car movement

Locking in extended state

In case of lifts with a protective device against uncontrolled movements of the car, the lift control has to trigger the holding magnet in a way, that the apron is released and extends, if the protective device responds.

In the extended state the telescopic apron locks itself. According to EN81-21 the apron can only be reset manually from the shaft pit.

Switch supervision and holding magnet

Intended use

A switch supervises the retracted state. The apron automatically locks into its normal position when pushing it upwards, as soon as the magnet is energised once again.

The four-part telescopic car apron prevents the inadvertent fall of persons into the lift shaft beneath the car.

Advice: Cabin door locking

Advice: Collision prevention

The manufacturer categorically recommends an additional cabin door locking device, if the client does not provide for equivalent safety measures, in order to prevent the endangerment of locked in persons when they release themselves. E.g. in case of revolving doors due to the construction it is often not possible to release oneself even when there is no cabin door locking device.

When going down, a directional switch has to prevent that the lift can be moved with the control of inspection operation and the lift return control in the area, where an apron, which is not retracted, may collide with the pit floor.

Safety labels foreign countries

If the apron is used in non-German speaking countries, the saftey label to be glued on apron have to be ordered seperately for the respective national language.
