CAUTION
Possible health risks
It is the system integrator’s responsibility to
define the exact location for, and the correct
way of installing the APS system. The installer
must strictly follow the system integrator’s
instructions, as the correct installation is part
of the system's safety, which, depending on
system integration, may be required to fulfill
SIL 3. Only trained personnel are allowed to
install the APS system. During regular operation
of the elevator no installations or alterations of
the system are permitted.
5.2 APS system integration
The APS system can easily be integrated into the elevator
hoistway. It can be done along the guide rail as an
absolute positioning system as in Figure 3. An installation
along the landing door sill or landing door operator
allows also precise detection of the floor or door position
and/or to compensate for building compression. Refer to
Figure 4 and Figure 5.
