8.4. The centrifugal emergency brake was triggered
The platform is equipped with a centrifugal emergency brake that brakes the descent of the
platform if the platform moves too fast. Once the emergency brake is triggered, a signal relayed
to the safety line cuts the power supply to the motor unit and triggers the engine brakes. The
machine will stop completely, and movement is no longer possible.
As soon as it is possible, all persons must leave/evacuate the platform. Identify why the
safety brake was triggered, secure the cabin and repair damages before releasing the
security brake!
NOTE:
For more information on the emergency brake, refer to the "SD2 REINITIALISATION PROCEDURE (EMERGENCY
CENTRIFUGAL BRAKE)" AND SECTION 7.14 CENTRIFUGAL EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTIVATION, ON PAGE 60.
NOTE:
Any downward movement is mechanically blocekd by the emergency brake. No downward
movement (SEE EMERGENCY DESCENT PROCEDURE, ON PAGE 59) can be performed unless the unit is
elevated to free the emergency brake.
WARNING!
Inspect the centrifugal emergency brake for any damages, identify the cause of the overspeed
braking and correct it. The centrifugal emergency brake must be analysed and reset by a
qualified person.
